Brilliant! grep XAUTHORITY ~/.*
found /home/dave/.bashrc: export XAUTHORITY=~/.Xauthority and commenting the line out in .bashrc fixed the problem I don't know how the export got into my .bashrc Possibly to do with me recently upgrading to 23.04 from 22.04 via 22.10, without checking 22.10 in any detail. Or, it took two attempts to download 23.04 due to slow network and repositories timing out and something glitched. More likely it could have been me fiddling with X in the past. Whatever the cause, many thanks for your help Cheers, Dave On 19/05/2023 02:59, Daniel van Vugt wrote: > Thanks for the bug report. > > I can't seem to reproduce the issue here.
