TV fails to find user's Xauthority file
« on: November 02, 2016, 09:39:34 AM »
hi all,

opensuse 13.1, up to date. TV version is also latest one - 11.0.67687

after fresh system install i saw following errors (see code below) in the TV log which result in a message "cannot connect to partner" on the other machine.

my question is why TV does not try to grab user's Xauthority file? does it look for some env var to do that? of course /var/lib and /root files are not accessible with the user's ID... at the moment i cured it by making /var/lib file readable for user, but that's not the best solution...

do i have to set something up like export variable to make it work with local user auth file?
