This is the error message I get trying to run graphical applications from command line as mentioned above in the bug description: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ simon@laptop:~$ eog Maximum number of clients reached ** (eog:7631): WARNING **: Could not open X display Maximum number of clients reachedgdk_mir_display_open Failed to connect to Mir: Failed to connect to server socket: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden Unable to init server: Verbindung ist gescheitert: Verbindungsaufbau abgelehnt
(eog:7631): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0 simon@laptop:~$ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The two German texts are in English: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden --> File or folder not found Verbindung ist gescheitert: Verbindungsaufbau abgelehnt --> Connection has failed: Connection establishment refused This also leads to the problem that I cannot start any new applications at all. I first have to log off and on again. The problem happens repeatedly some time after logging in. I don't get any visual error message. It actually seems that it is not necessary to turn the screen to provoke this problem. So this may be another problem than the one original stated in this bug report. Please tell me if I shall open another bug report for it and how to debug this problem. A first glance at dmesg didn't show anything useful. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to unity-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1462590 Title: unity-settings-daemon crashes using xrandr Status in unity-settings-daemon package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: turning the screen by running the command 'xrand -o right' turns the screen, but it then immediately comes back to normal. Then I get a crash message of unity-settings-daemon. This problem also leads to non-working key combinations, as CTRL + ALT + T to open a terminal or Fn + F1, Fn + F2, Fn + F3, Fn + F4 to control volume/mic or Fn +F5, Fn + F6 to control display brightness. In addition I then have problems running graphical applications from command line, not finding the display and/or returning Mir(!?) errors. Unfortunately I failed to create a bug report by submitting the crash report, so I'll attach it to this report and hope you can find all the necessary information. Feel free to ask for more information or mark it as duplicate pointing to an existing bug report.
