Sometime upon reboot a lockfile is created and X cannot start about xserver

[nucleardreamer]

@danclimasevschi haven't run into that yet! I am assuming that the xserver didn't have time to cleanup before the container was shut down (only a guess).

That fix looks solid, I will get it merged today! Thank you!

It looks the bash style string substitution doesn’t work. Needs to be replaced with something like this:

result=$(echo "$firstString" | sed "s/Suzi/$secondString/")
