cat /etc/pam.d/sudo

#%PAM-1.0 auth include common-auth account include common-account password include common-password session include common-session session include pam_xauth.so ^^^^^^^ There's the culprit! Change this to "optional".

this file is default after new install. I did not change it.

I'll check where this comes from. It's definitely wrong.

I've created a dummy file:

cat /usr/lib/pam.d/pam_xauth.so

When you change the "include" to "optional", this will be fixed as well:

(location taken from strace log). Now I can sudo -u user and get no error, however X credentials are not forwarded.

I'll need to install 42.3 to see what happened. For the time being the solution is stated above. Josef -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
