One more option that I haven't seen mentioned yet. As the logged in user in
a term window type xhost +localhost this will allow all users to launch x
applications including root.

This one has to be simple, but I can't find a reason.
I open a Konsole, run emacs, everything is fine. I enter su and the password, try to run emacs and get the following:
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: No protocol specified
When I tried to run the mozilla 1.3.1 installer as su, I get the same error. It looks to this relative newbie that there is something configured that su
doesn't have, but what's the missing piece?
Try running "sux" instead. Just a reminder, the $path is limited for root when running sux, so you may need to enter full paths to executables. -- use Perl; #powerful programmable prestidigitation -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com
