Bug#424409: /usr/bin/startx: startx not setting up xauth correctly
Package: xbase-clients
Version: 1:7.2.ds2-2
Severity: important
File: /usr/bin/startx
Hello,
I upgraded from 1:7.1.ds1-2 to 1:7.2.ds1-2 and now startx doesn't work
anymore. I get the error "X: user not authorized to run the X server,
aborting." By running xauth manually I don't have this problem, so it
seems something in startx broke. See typescript log below.
Thanks,
--Joe
