[opensuse] XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is not cleared with 'su - anotheruser'
Looks like the old bug is back, when doing 'su - test' or any other user, and trying to launch any X app, it fails because of XDG_RUNTIME_DIR points to the original X session. Have to invoke 'unset XDG_RUNTIME_DIR' first, then everything works fine. -- Regards, Stas -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I tried it in 13.2 (su to root and then su to another user) and in both cases XDG_RUNTIME_DIR was set to destination user. Probably something is different - please copy and paste exact command invocation. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

What should it be set to? You said 'user' so XDG_RUNTIME_DIR= user{1,2,3} ...or /home/user{1,2,3} ...or /home/user{1,2,3}/.<somedirname> <$DISPLAY>/.<somedirname> ?? Mine has always been empty and it seems most programs don't a consistent, standard value for such.

Hm, that is strange, now when I'm trying to reproduce it - everything works as expected. Thanx everyone for doing whatever magic you did to fix it :) -- Regards, Stas -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
