Difference between 'xhost + ' and 'xhost +SI:localuser:AnotherUser'
Clash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP
3
If I do
xhost +
>access control disabled, clients can connect from any host
su AnotherUser -c xterm
an xterm pops up.
However if I do
xhost +SI:localuser:AnotherUser
>localuser:AnotherUser being added to access control list
su AnotherUser -c xterm
I got No protocol specified, I'd like to understand why it doesn't work.
I am in Debian sid amd64
x11 su xhost

Works for me; similar platform.su -c xclockfails before Ixhost +SI:localuser:rootand succeeds afterwards. Can you show us what your$DISPLAYlooks like, and also the output ofxhostwith no arguments?

@TobySpeight: please note that AnotherUser is a user different from root; xhost is issued by root; the output isaccess control enabled, only authorized clients can connectSI:localuser:root

Increase verbosity for X server to understand that better (bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1243478#p1243478). Here they write that problems may be connected to DISPLAY or XAUTHORITY (unix.stackexchange.com/a/118826/89346).

Works for me; similar platform.su -c xclockfails before Ixhost +SI:localuser:rootand succeeds afterwards. Can you show us what your$DISPLAYlooks like, and also the output ofxhostwith no arguments?

Increase verbosity for X server to understand that better (bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1243478#p1243478). Here they write that problems may be connected to DISPLAY or XAUTHORITY (unix.stackexchange.com/a/118826/89346).
