Sometime in the last two weeks my Xnext (and now that I have tested it, Xephyr too) have also started failing with:
(EE) config/hal: NewInputDeviceRequest failed (2) unrecognised device identifier! I am not running amule, I have edited /etc/dbus-1/system.d/xorg- server.conf to add the 'allow' lines as above. Unlike the previous posters, my Xnest is not working, it also fails with an error "(EE) config/hal: NewInputDeviceRequest failed (2)" However: My remote system is also running ubuntu, and its possible that I am seeing errors by my client programs because they have always been there and I have only just started looking for them. It seems from my tcpdump that xdmcp on the server has simply stopped working: listening on ra0, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 96 bytes 18:02:36.543211 IP client.my-net.48197 > server.my-net.xdmcp: UDP, length 7 18:02:38.540822 IP client.my-net.48197 > server.my-net.xdmcp: UDP, length 7 -- Xephyr - unrecognised device identifier! https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/453989 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
