This used to work with kwin-5.21.5 but now it fails after kwin-5.22.5 update.
$ xhost +SI:localuser:steam
localuser:steam being added to access control list
$ sudo -u steam glxinfo
Password:
Error: unable to open display :0
glxinfo is just an example - all xwayland programs fail with a similar message.
I think it doesn't work because the X11 socket (in /tmp/.X11-unix/) is not writable by other users. (In reply to Vlad Zahorodnii from comment #2) > I think it doesn't work because the X11 socket (in /tmp/.X11-unix/) is not > writable by other users. Excellent, thank you! Now I can start programs like this. xhost +SI:localuser:steam chgrp -R users /tmp/.X11-unix/* chmod -R g=u /tmp/.X11-unix/* sudo -u steam glxinfo But still it would be great if this use case could work without such scripting.

Committed on 12/11/2021 at 09:02. Pushed by vladz into branch 'master'. Fix XWayland abstract socket address. NUL-termination byte is not needed for abstract socket. This leads to XWayland listening to a wrong address. Confirmed with lsof.
