 Posted: Fri Jun 12, 2020 8:41 pm Post subject: Boot proccess stalls: Waiting for xauthority [SOLVED] |
 |
|
Scenario:
A few months ago I cloned my desktop configs to the laptop.
I dont use not want to use display manager and or login manager. Been loving it for years without fashion.
No configs have been changed from the time that the laptop was perfectly working to now.
Why does the console stops booting because of a graphical need?
I dont want or need display or login managers.
After am update this happened:
| Code: | * Error: Your XDB value is invalid
* No xdm executable could be found on your system
* ERROR: Please set your DISPLAY MANAGER variable in /etc/conf.d/xdm,
or install x11-apps/xdm package
* setting up xdm
* start-stop-daemon: /usr/bin/xdm does not exist
* ERROR: could not start the display manager
* Starting sshd ...
* Starting VirtualIGL
* Wating for xauthority |
WHY? Do we need xdm ? Or any other non boring application to login? Who came out with this new idea?
Looking for configs and flags, both systems still are the same but the laptop now does not complete the boot process unless I install xdm and gxmessage.

Hi
I run
| Code: |
eqf xorg-server | grep xdm
/etc/conf.d/xdm
/etc/init.d/xdm
/etc/init.d/xdm-setup
|
So it is pulled by xorg-server.
then I run
| Code: |
equ xorg-server
[ Legend : U - final flag setting for installation]
[ : I - package is installed with flag ]
[ Colors : set, unset ]
* Found these USE flags for x11-base/xorg-server-1.20.8:
U I
- - debug : Enable extra debug codepaths, like asserts and extra output. If you want to get meaningful
backtraces see https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Quality_Assurance/Backtraces
- - dmx : Build the Distributed Multiheaded X server
- - doc : Add extra documentation (API, Javadoc, etc). It is recommended to enable per package instead of
globally
+ + elogind : Use elogind to get control over framebuffer when running as regular user
+ + ipv6 : Add support for IP version 6
- - kdrive : Build the kdrive X servers
- - libglvnd : Use libglvnd for dispatch.
- - libressl : Use dev-libs/libressl instead of dev-libs/openssl when applicable (see also the ssl useflag)
- - minimal : Install a very minimal build (disables, for example, plugins, fonts, most drivers, non-critical
features)
- - static-libs : Build static versions of dynamic libraries as well
+ + suid : Enable setuid root program, with potential security risks

- - xephyr : Build the Xephyr server
- - xnest : Build the Xnest server
+ + xorg : Build the Xorg X server (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED)
- - xvfb : Build the Xvfb server
|
I see no flag to possibly disable it other than maybe "minimal"
.What happens if you disable it in openrc? |

Both the laptop and the desktop have the exat same configuration and output posted bellow.
Only the laptop pulls xdm and forces it.
# equery f xorg-server| grep xdm

/etc/init.d/xdm
/etc/init.d/xdm-setup

| You only need /usr/bin/xdm if you want to run /etc/init.d/xdm start. You say you do not want a display manager, so the real issue is that you should not be starting /etc/init.d/xdm. Why is it starting? Does rc-update show say it should start? If not, what init script needs it to start? |

rc-status has nothing activated and pulling xdm for both laptop and desktop.
The only script that pulls xdm is:
/etc/init.d # cat vgl
| Code: | #!/sbin/openrc-run
# Copyright 1999-2013 Gentoo Foundation
# Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2
# TODO: description="*" and other OpenRC 0.9+ candies
depend() {
need xdm
after sshd
}
start() {
ebegin "Starting VirtualGL"
truncate --size=0 /var/lib/VirtualGL/vgl_xauth_key
set_xauth
if [ -z "$XAUTHORITY" ]; then
einfo "Waiting for xauthority..."
# wait for xauth file
while true; do
set_xauth
if [ -e "$XAUTHORITY" ]; then
break;
fi
sleep 1
done
fi
xauth -f /var/lib/VirtualGL/vgl_xauth_key add $DISPLAY . $(xauth -f $XAUTHORITY list | awk '{print $3;exit}') && \
chmod 644 /var/lib/VirtualGL/vgl_xauth_key
eend $?
}
stop() {
ebegin "Stopping VirtualGL"
[ -f /var/lib/VirtualGL/vgl_xauth_key ] && \
rm /var/lib/VirtualGL/vgl_xauth_key
eend $?
}
|
On the desktop the same script is the same and also not active and also not pulling xdm to start
However on the desktop /var/lib/VirtualGL/vgl_xauth_key does not exist
and on the laptop it has a magic cookie vgl_xauth_key right now when I have to be forced to use xdm

okay I found it
This miserable file.
# cat /etc/init.d/bumblebee
| Code: | #!/sbin/openrc-run
# Copyright 1999-2012 Gentoo Foundation
# Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2
depend() {
need xdm vgl
}
PIDFILE="${PIDFILE:-/var/run/bumblebee.pid}"
start() {
ebegin "Starting BumbleBee Daemon"
start-stop-daemon -S -p "${PIDFILE}" -x /usr/sbin/bumblebeed -- -D ${BUMBLEBEE_EXTRA_OPTS} --pidfile "${PIDFILE}"
eend $?
}
stop() {
ebegin "Stopping BumbleBee Daemon"
start-stop-daemon -K -p "${PIDFILE}" -R SIGTERM/10
eend $?
} |
As I suspected, gremlin devs
https://github.com/Bumblebee-Project/bumblebee-gentoo/issues/19
And also, WHY does it need xdm?
I had bumblebee installed since the beginning. This problem never happened before until some update.
This problem has been [SOLVED]
