Default startx/.Xauthority and patch 010

Hi

I noticed something odd after Patch 010, there is an easy work around though. Curious, did anyone notice this issue ?

After a reboot, startx hangs on ~/.Xauthority and 2 other Xauthority files are created, .Xauthority.l and .Xauthority.f (IIRC).

If I remove all ~/.Xauthority* files and then 'startx', all is fine until the next reboot.

Suspend and everything else is fine between reboots. Seems the reboot resets something now (guessing).

Anyway, just a curiosity to me BTW this is on a T420 and64 v6.3

John

It is unlikely that the patch is related to your reported X11 administration issue. Patch #10 is a revision to the kernel for amd64. See all the code it touches here:

I have experienced similar behavior on my T430 when I am not paying attention issuing shell commands.

attempt to "startx" from WITHIN x as standard user
.or.
attempt to "startx" from WITHIN x as root.

within a xterm shell.

OpenBSD 6.3 AMD64
Fresh Install - no patches

Based upon what jggimi stated, I decided to look further. I rebooted, did a startx and when X crashed was going to check out Xorg.0.log, but this time no issues.

Odd, but if it happens again I will look into in in detail

The issue happened again, but I am quite sure I found the issue.

I had cloned /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc to create my own ~/.xinitrc but I forgot to include these line at the end of ~/.xinitrc

Code:
if [ "$SSH_AGENT_PID" ]; then
    ssh-add -D < /dev/null
    eval `ssh-agent -s -k`
fi
Since I did this, the intermittent has not happened
