https://bbs.archlinux.org – Hey peoples,I'm finding that after suspend/resume my machine will not open any new windows. The windows that were already open continue to function. If I've left a terminal open, and attempt to open a new window I get the message:[framps@localhost ~]$ firefox Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 keyInvalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 keyError: cannot open display: :0.0I've found that removing the broadcom-wl driver from my system seems to fix the issue. I can't see anything particularly obvious in my dmesg. I think I need the broadcom-wl driver as I have not been able to get b43 or bcma to wo (HowTos)

Finally! Broadcom, through Henry Ptasinski, proudly announced a few hours ago the immediate availability of the first open source Wireless driver for Linux-based operating systems.

Hello,

My tablet pc is misaligned on startup. I captured the 'xsetwacom' lines to correct this in .xinitrc.

On boot-up, this file is accessed when I log in and the settings are put in place - the tablet alignment is correct.

I'm having a very annoying problem with gnome-terminal. It works find until I suspend/resume my laptop.

Here's a link to the official open source driver from Broadcom. Broadcom.com - 802.11 Linux STA driver

I'm new to Ubuntu and can't find a way to just open and execute the driver. I tried to download the driver, had to use windows to download and then transfer it to a usb drive, then i right clicked on the file, went to properties and allowed it to be executed as a program. The check mark disappeared as soon as I hit the box, and the file I noticed, was marked read only.

recently, after a regular update/upgrade (i actually were using Wheezy from a long time from Crunchbang), when i enter "sudo synaptic" at the terminal, i get:Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key (synaptic:3248): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0and the same when i try "sudo pluma", "sudo gedit", "sudo caja --no-desktop", "sudo gedit --no-desktop",

I had this problem several months ago but it never got fixed. Basically, I set up acpid to handle closing and opening the lid according to the wiki, so when I close it, it should do pm-suspend, and when I open it, it should resume. When I close it, it works fine (I think. It turns off and gets quiet, anyway). But when I open it, it seems to resume everything except the screen.

I recently upgraded by thinkpad X220 from F17 using fedup --network, and since then my xmodmap settings are undone every time I suspend/resume the laptop.

Something similar was reported previously:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=692760

however, I've never noticed this before.

For now I'm just leaving a terminal window open and manually re-running xmodmap after each resume,
