Hi Fellow-admins,
you are great out there. Just minutes after posting the question, I got
a lot of helpful answers.
Thanks to
Lucio Chiappetti
Dennis Voetelink
Nikola Milutinovic
Joerg Bruehe etc.
In summary, I was told that the socket will be
created on restart of the X-Server.
I have tried Dennis' Voetelink's suggestion (similar with all others):
(In single-user mode):
mv tmp /tmp2
ln -s /path_to/tmp2 /tmp
reboot the system.
After reboot you may remove the /tmp2 directory and its contents. The
socket will be automatically created after system startup.
My original question:
