Public bug reported:
On Ubuntu, if you create a directory with the same name as the system's
hostname in the user's home directory ($HOME/$HOSTNAME), when this user
attempts to startx, xauth will complain about the lock in the authority
file ~/.Xauthority. This also creates the files ~/.Xauthority-c and
~/.Xauthority-l. This is a very specific bug, I'm not sure if it's
Ubuntu-related or xinit-related exactly. I can reproduce it consistently
(minimal install, no additional pacakges installed aprt from xorg).
System info:
- Ubuntu Server 20.04.3 LTS
- xinit 1.4.1-0ubuntu2
** Affects: xinit (Ubuntu)
