Title:
x11-common: duplicate calls to xhost in /etc/X11/Xsession.d scripts
Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
Hi,
While debugging a different issue (see
https://askubuntu.com/questions/1280861/black-screen-
after-18-04-20-04-1-upgrade-on-virtualbox), I was trying to understand
who runs 'xhost +si:localuser:<myuser>' and found the scripts in
/etc/X11/Xsession.d. There I noticed there are 2 scripts who end up
calling xhost like this, with slightly different tweaks:
stefan@spuiu-vm:~$ grep -rn xhost /etc/X11/Xsession.d/
/etc/X11/Xsession.d/35x11-common_xhost-local:3:# If xhost (from
x11-xserver-utils) is installed, use it to give access
/etc/X11/Xsession.d/35x11-common_xhost-local:5:# Unlike other uses of xhost,
this is safe since the kernel can check
/etc/X11/Xsession.d/35x11-common_xhost-local:8:if type xhost >/dev/null 2>&1;
then
/etc/X11/Xsession.d/35x11-common_xhost-local:9: xhost +si:localuser:$(id
-un) || :
/etc/X11/Xsession.d/60x11-common_localhost:3:[ -x /usr/bin/xhost ] && [ -x
/usr/bin/id ] &&
/etc/X11/Xsession.d/60x11-common_localhost:4: xhost +si:localuser:`id -un`
> /dev/null
It looks to me like one of them could be easily deleted. I'd vote for
keeping the first one, 'type <command>' seems a tad more sensible than
'-x /usr/bin/<command>', and also the first one makes sure there's no
error exit status.
