hi, I have a script that opens Openoffice in an X session managed by Xvfb. I initiate the X session with:
Xvfb :86 -screen scrn 800x600x32 & This used to work fine. But sometime in the recent past, presumably since an unobserved update or something, I get this error when trying to connect $ DISPLAY=:86 xterm & [1] 18603 Xlib: connection to ":86.0" refused by server Xlib: No protocol specified xterm Xt error: Can't open display: :86 [1]+ Exit 1 DISPLAY=:86 xterm -sl 1000 Xvfb itself generates this error: AUDIT: Tue Nov 16 14:37:43 2004: 18483 Xvfb: client 1 rejected from local host I can workaround this by invoking Xvfb with the -ac switch: Xvfb :86 -ac -screen scrn 800x600x32 & but obviously this is terrible security practice, so I can't use it normally. I've flipped through the Xserver and Xsecurity man pages but I'm still at a bit of a loss as to how to get Xvfb to read the authorization file, or maybe I'm using the wrong one. I tried this: Xvfb :86 -auth /home/matt/.Xauthority -screen scrn 800x600x32 & with no luck. anyone have any suggestions? thx, matt -------------------------- .''`.
