When trying to run xterm: No Xauth Cookie found :( #150
Description
Hello, thanks for the help on issue #149, I've been following through the documentation and at this point I've gotten to an error that I'm having trouble getting past. I'm running compositor-shell and compositor-proxy-cli on the same host, and trying to run xterm. I see the following error: No Xauth Cookie found :(.
I'm not sure where the Xauth cookie comes from so it's difficult for me to find the source of the problem. I did try creating an "empty" auth cookie based on a default value I saw in auth.ts:
diff --git a/libs/xtsb/src/auth.ts b/libs/xtsb/src/auth.ts
index efedda8..7c17e2c 100644
--- a/libs/xtsb/src/auth.ts

}
const byteOrder = getByteOrder()After trying this I quickly realized this approach wouldn't get me very far, because I got an error on the next piece of code that seems to expect this cookie not to have empty string values:
RangeError: Invalid format string: <BxHHHHxx0s0s
I'm not sure what else I can try next so any help is appreciated. If I can get just enough information to figure the rest out on my own, I'll return the favor by adding any applicable documentation.
