Removing xscreensaver from autostart causes incorrect permissions #68

Closed hlapp closed 8 years ago

hlapp commented 8 years ago

It looks like most image generation script (specifically, all except machinekit-wheezy) remove xscreensaver from being auto-started by writing a filtered version of /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart to a temporary file which is then copied back. Unfortunately, this can, and at least for the latest Nov 12 debian wheezy image for BBB has resulted in incorrect permissions for this file, namely readable only by root. As a result, lxpanel won't start up by default for a user, and so the X display lacks the task bar, desktops, and everything else that comes with lxpanel.

(This has confounded me for quite a while - there are no error messages from the lightdm startup about this logged anywhere that would point to the culprit.)
