Hi all,
I create a terminal window for a different user using a script like so:
#! /bin/bash
#
# Extract auth of current user and run x-terminal-emulator in new user
printf -v altgksu 'export DISPLAY=:0; touch ~/.Xauthority; echo "%s"| xauth nmerge -; dbus-launch --exit-with-x11 x-terminal-emulator;' "$(xauth nextract - $DISPLAY)"
su -l -c "$altgksu" $1
When $1 is not root, I get errors from, e.g., geany, when it tries to create a "uim" subdirectory:
stat("/run/user/111/uim", 0x7ffee78a9180) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
mkdir("/run/user/111/uim", 0700) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
write(2, "uim_helper_get_pathname() failed"..., 33) = 33
There is no folder 111 in /run/user. Should I create it in the above script? But then, who created /run/user/0?
Best
Ale
