This happens only on one x86_64 box with the effect that X fails and Xorg.0.log ends as follows [ 32.801] (II) NOUVEAU(0): NVLeaveVT is called. [ 32.802] (II) NOUVEAU(0): Closed GPU channel 0 [ 32.880] (EE) Server terminated successfully (0). Closing log file. /etc/permissions setting is not honoured, it gets set to drwxr-xr-x instead. sabre:~ # grep tmp /etc/permissions /tmp/ root:root 1777 /tmp/.X11-unix/ root:root 1777 /tmp/.ICE-unix/ root:root 1777 /var/tmp/ root:root 1777 /var/log/wtmp root:utmp 664 /var/log/btmp root:root 600 /var/run/utmp root:utmp 664 /run/utmp root:utmp 664 /usr/sbin/utempter root:utmp 2755 /usr/lib/utempter/utempter root:utmp 2755 Setting it manually but it reverts to the wrong permissions after a reboot. I can't find what is causing this to happen. sabre:~ # umask 0022 No problem on the other 2 boxes. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...
