This is in reference to comments made for bug 643583 which was marked as a duplicate of this bug:
(1) libvirt + sdl does work if the lxdm is used as lxdm writes .Xauthority into the users home directory as expected by libvirt. (2) A script like the following run with sudo might provide a work- around if gdm is used. Might be possible to add to "System > Preferences > Startup Applications" with some permissions adjustments. xauth_virt_sudo.sh #!/bin/sh # Create .Xauthority link for libvirt 0.8.3 on Ubuntu Maverick 10.10 user=admin1 auth=`exec ls /var/run/gdm | grep auth-for-$user` if [ -h "/home/$user/.Xauthority" ] then rm /home/$user/.Xauthority fi ln -s /var/run/gdm/$auth/database /home/$user/.Xauthority -- [Maverick] SDL local window broken in last update https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/615077 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
