I had this problem and resolved the issue by editing /etc/group to include a
root:x:0: line. What was happening was that the line chown root:root $SOCKET_DIR which is responsible for the ownership of /tmp/.X11-unix in /etc/init.d/x11-common was calling the root group, which is not created when enabling the root user. Including a root group in /etc/group fixes this issue. The issue can also be addressed by changing the root group to a zero (0) placeholder: root:0, but this seems like the poorer of two options. -- /etc/init.d/x11-common's chmod 1777 fails to clear setuid and setgid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/623294 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
