What do you mean by "the xauth file isn't available/linked" ? 'xauth' says it is ~/.Xauthority and I see that everywhere.
Interesting. What's your displaymanager?
I'm using KDE, so presumbly sddm.
My TW machine here has
woodstock:~% echo $XAUTHORITY /run/user/1000/xauth_<beep>
logged in over ssh - nothing, empty. Physically logged in, yes, then I I have $XAUTHORITY = /run/user/1000/xauth_* It is quite possible I wasn't logged in on that TW machine when I looked for /run/user/1000/xauth_* before. On e.g. Leap15.2, $XAUTHORITY = ~/.Xauthority - but only when physically logged in.
Anyway, I'm only being curious.
That's a very valuable character trait :D
LOL! The use case seems to be straight forward, even if maybe not so often seen. Carlos' example is a good one: "casting" a youtube video to another screen. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (12.3°C) Member, openSUSE Heroes (2016 - present) We're hiring - https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Heroes
