Bug ID: 370608 Summary: XAUTHORITY env variable changes in the middle of the night Product: plasmashell Version: 5.5.5 Platform: Other OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: general Assignee: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk Reporter: kolafl...@kolahilft.de CC: bhus...@gmail.com, plasma-b...@kde.org I'm experiencing exactly this bug, described by "jbaum". Except, that I'm having this bug on openSUSE 42.1 and jbaum seems to have it on Arch Linux. https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=193273 | So after about 24 hours, I start being unable to open graphical applications. | | Running something from console, I get this: | $ xterm | No protocol specified | xterm: Xt error: Can't open display: :0.0 | $ ls $XAUTHORITY | ls: cannot access /tmp/xauth-1000-_0: No such file or directory | adam@t420a:~$ XAUTHORITY=~/.Xauthority xterm | [launches successfully] A question which may help to find out what's going on: How can an environment variable be re-set to a different value, globally in all KDE applications (e.g. a konsole and krunner), >>>while those applications are already running<<< ?
