Description Martin Koller 2024-06-10 15:24:08 UTC

On openSuse Leap 15.5, the latest update of ksmserver to 5.27.9
brought a regression where every X11 program I start in a konsole prints some authentication error.
E.g.
starting kwrite:
Qt: Session management error: None of the authentication protocols specified are supported

starting xclock:
Warning: Tried to connect to session manager, None of the authentication protocols specified are supported


Since I have seen that something was changed w.r.t. auth in ksmserver, I cross-checked by reinstalling an older version of ksmserver: 5.27.4.1
and see - no more auth errors!

Do the apps fail to launch or exhibit functional regressions? Or is there no apparent issue seen other than the logging?

Comment 2 Martin Koller 2024-06-10 20:03:11 UTC

functionality wise I have not seen a difference, except that it seems the apps did not save/restore their existence in a session.
E.g. kmail, korganizer running when logging out did not start again when loggin in again.
(Although I did not verify this since I now use the older version of ksmserver)
