-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Thanks for the input! I should mention, what I already tried/diagnosed (without success): I rebuilt xorg-server, xorg-xauth and slim. I ran revdep: only two "broken" packages, which are unrelated to X and the login/window managers. I merged changes with rejmerge. The strace looks, like xauth removes the file and a few lines later complains, that it does not exist. Looks to me, like either a race condition or some permission problems (e.g. file is deleted due to wrong permissions or so). My next-bigger hammer would be to run: prt-get update -fr $(prt-get quickdep xorg-xauth xorg-server slim) regards, Erich On Wed, 22 Sep 2021, Brian Madonna wrote:
I would do prt-get fsearxh xauth to see what package it's in and rebuild it. And maybe do a rev-dep and rebuild anything else also. I havent run crux in a while. I love CRUX but it gets annoying constantly rebuilding packages. Xauth may be in its own package.

Good morning, fellow CRUXers!
After yesterday's update, today my X refused to start without any obvious errors: `slim -d` does nothing without any errors and with 0 exit code, when omitting the `-d`, I get exit code 1 and the error "/usr/bin/xauth: file /var/run/slim.auth does not exist" although the file exists (owned by root with rw-------). I uploaded the output of `strace slim` to https://eckner.net/log - maybe, someone of you has an idea, what's going on, here?
regards, Erich
