SDDM with 16.04 LTS introduces two new problems that did not exist with 15.10 or 14.04:
1. The option HideShells in /etc/sddm.conf does not work correctly. When more than one shell is specified, the filter does not work and the matching users are listed in the greeting screen notwithstanding.
2. The xauthority (or MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE) file is no longer at /var/run/sddm/:0 but at an unpredictable location like /var/run/sddm/{ca7d6d45-9b4d-4a92-997e-c9c11081dea1} which is build by including a random UUID in the path. When trying to start x11vnc, for example, that file cannot be found. With 15.10, one could start x11vnc with '/usr/bin/x11vnc -auth /var/run/sddm/:0 -display :0 -rfbauth /etc/vncpasswd -rfbport 5943 -reopen -forever', this is no longer possible.
Especially the second bug is uncool with Ubuntu server for remote root servers. |
