Hi,
I installed a new modem. It has a wired ethernet connection to my PC. But now, every time I start an application in X, this message shows up in the terminal where it was started from:
Authorization required, but no authorization protocol specified Authorization required, but no authorization protocol specified
And those applications take much longer to start. For example, evince used to start in half a second without leaving any messages in the terminal. Now it takes about a minute, leaving lots of messages, see below.
Searching the internet, my impression is that it has something to do with the hostname. /etc/hostname is empty. Is that normal?
No, this is not normal.
What are you using to setup your connection?
Not sure what you're asking exactly. As I said, a wired ethernet connection. After installing the new modem, the system adapts to the new situation by itself.
Are you using Leap or Tumbleweed?
Tumbleweed. After more investigations, I also discovered that this command, executed as normal user, improves the situation:
xhost + local: Authorization required, but no authorization protocol specified non-network local connections being added to access control list
All those extra error messages have gone, and X-applications start immediately again. However, the lines with 'Authorization required,....' remain. Not sure why this works, it's somewhat above my head.
