[Bug 1581029] Re: Running BOINC without an X-server (or with PrivateTmp=true in the service file) results in a crash

[LocutusOfBorg]

I pushed on yakkety, debian git and trusty.

thanks for the fix and the useful bug report!

** Description changed:

+ [Impact] 
+ * crash on non-X servers or with PrivateTmp systemd option set
+ 
+ [Test Case]
+ * run boinc with idle detection code enabled
+ 
+ [Regression Potential] 
+ * none, just a NPE fixed.
+ 
+ Fixed in yakkety 7.6.32+dfsg-2~build1
+ 
  When running BOINC without an X-server, or under systemd with PrivateTmp
  set to true, a crash occurs (after about 5 minutes). This is because the
  idle detection code is trying to open /tmp/.X11-unix, and the error case
  (the case where the directory doesn't exist or isn't accessible) isn't
  handled correctly.
  
  This is documented upstream at
  https://github.com/BOINC/boinc/issues/1530, and fixed with the commit
  https://github.com/BOINC/boinc/commit/8416d8a1a423535fbc5d4e7416d6eac8ac5c050b,
  but hasn't made into a release yet.
  
  This is under Ubuntu 16.04 (xenial), with version 7.6.31+dfsg-6.
