It also works fine for me... br...@chideok:/etc/gdm$ sudo glxgears Running synchronized to the vertical refresh. The framerate should be approximately the same as the monitor refresh rate. 13834 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2766.745 FPS
I would first check gdm.conf against a stock config. I've attached my own, which is not stock but is known-good so should serve as a reference. There are settings in that file that can affect whether X applications are allowed to be run by other users. Next I would check what options are being specified on the X binary. Here's mine: /usr/X11R6/bin/X :0 -br -audit 0 -auth /var/lib/gdm/:0.Xauth -nolisten tcp vt7 In particular -nolisten is of note if you're trying to run X apps while logged into the system non-locally. If using ssh, then the -X flag would be of use there. Anyway, based on past experience my guess here is not that it's a bug in how X is working but rather is some stray security configuration setting. ** Attachment added: "gdm.conf" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/27733655/gdm.conf -- X applications won't run under sudo https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/370607 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
