Can't open applications as su with Debian sarge
I just installed Debian 3.x (sarge). After I sign in as a user I can run apps just fine, but if I open a console and switch to super user (with su), I can't run any gui apps. This might be a permissions problem. I'm not sure. Here is the error message:
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified
Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0.0
Thank you for your help!
xhost +
Hi
Try xhost+ as normal user and them execute with su, danger do it is a security hole
))

Thank you! That is exactly what I wanted!
It's safer to do it with your hostname on the end eg. hostname enceladus :
xhost +enceladus
That way, only connections from enceladus would be accepted (I think that's how it works ^_^)
Veni, veni, venias
ne me mori facias!
