Under systemd-235.8-1 there is nothing in /tmp/.X11-unix/ [SOLVED]

graysky · 2017-10-17 22:01:37

When I boot using an older version of systemd (234.11-9), something sets-up /tmp/.X11-unix/X0

ls -lhtra /tmp/.X11-unix
total 0
drwxrwxrwt 2 root root  60 Oct 17 17:36 .
drwxrwxrwt 9 root root 180 Oct 17 17:38 ..
srwxrwxrwx 1 root root   0 Oct 17 17:36 X0=

But when I update the system to 235.0-1 or 235.8-1, (and reboot) nothing is in that directory.

ls -lhart /tmp/.X11-unix
total 0
drwxrwxrwt  2 root root  40 Oct 17 17:47 .
drwxrwxrwt 14 root root 320 Oct 17 18:01 ..

And to make it more confusing, Xorg is listening to a file that seemingly doesn't exist:

# netstat -lnp | grep X11
unix  2      [ ACC ]     STREAM     LISTENING     1963     518/Xorg             @/tmp/.X11-unix/X0
unix  2      [ ACC ]     STREAM     LISTENING     1964     518/Xorg             /tmp/.X11-unix/X0

# stat /tmp/.X11-unix/X0
stat: cannot stat '/tmp/.X11-unix/X0': No such file or directory

Is this expected or a bug or something I need to adjust in my configuration?

Starting a linux container that bind mounts /tmp/.X11-unix into the lxc seems to causing this behavior, BUT it is definetly related to the systemd update since this setup worked for years. If you too are experiencing, follow the discussion: https://github.com/lxc/lxc/issues/1859# … -337386410

@loqs - Might be! I can tell you that this is true even with /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/x11.conf in the 2nd link you provided (235.8-1 provides that version)

If you mask /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/x11.conf by symlink /etc/tmpfiles.d/x11.conf to /dev/null?
