For anyone who is getting "X11 connection rejected because of wrong
authentication" error when trying to start GUI programs via linuxulator,
here is a solution: swap the lines
::1 localhost
127.0.0.1 localhost
in /etc/hosts to move the IPV6 localhost address below the IPV4 one.
This applies to FreeBSD base since r64664 by itojun. I am not sure
why the order was changed.
The real issue is likely to be elsewhere (e.g., in some linux-c7-*
library), and this is just a symptom, but I can't be bothered to
dig deeper. Perhaps a pkg-message about this can be added for
ports/x11/linux-c7-xorg-libs?
Example:
# /compat/linux/bin/bash
bash-4.2# xterm
X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication.
[...]
xterm: Xt error: Can't open display: %s
bash-4.2# baudline
X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication.
ERROR, XOpenDisplay((null)) failed
<edit /etc/hosts as described>
bash-4.2# xterm
<xterm fires up>
