Then there are definitely two underlying issues producing similar symptoms. In my case: When the NFS automount times out, the next X client that tries to check .Xauthority is unable to do so. I can only assume that it used to attempt a read (which would trigger the mounter) and has been changed to be "clever" now and simply try to stat() the file (which will not trigger the mounter).
Anyway, it's obviously never going to be fixed so I don't know why I bother even responding here... -- Warning: Unable to open display ':0' and cannot connect to X server :0 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/250712 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
