Package: schroot Version: 1.4.4-1 Severity: wishlist I've recently switched from gdm to gdm3, and I've just discovered that such a switch inhibits seamless usage of X11 apps from schroot-managed chroots (usually using "schroot -p ...").
I'm using the above to run 32bits apps on my 64bits machine, which I believe is a fairly common use case. A straightforward "schroot -p COMMAND" no longer works because with gdm3 the authority file is now located under /var/run/gdm3/, which is not mounted by schroot setup/exec scripts. I believe that without gdm3 that still works, as probably the authoritfy file was elsewhere before, in a directory mounted by those scripts (I don't have easy access to a non-gdm3 machine right now, so I haven't been able to test that though). The "fix" is straightforward, it's enough to add the following line to /etc/schroot/default/fstab: /var/run/gdm3 /var/run/gdm3 none rw,bind 0 0 I've no idea whether you might want to do that or not in the default schroot configuration, but I presume that using gdm3 will become quite common in the future. So, if you don't want to do that, you might want to document it in README.Debian or in some other FAQ-ish place as a common gotcha. Many thanks for maintaining and developing schroot!
