On openSUSE it's the same except for the last 6 characters of the filename. How can that be translated to /var/lib/gdm/$DISPLAY.Xauth or /var/run/lightdm/root/$DISPLAY ??? Would it be simply /var/run/xauth/$DISPLAY or something else? I tried putting #! /bin/bash chvt 7 DISPLAY=:0 XAUTHORITY=/var/run/xauth/$DISPLAY xwd -root in the script, but the resulting output image is always 0 bytes, and error messages: No protocol specified xwd: unable to open display ':0' I tried on Tubuntu 18.04/14.1 with same result. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is religion, not science.
