Either you're not running X, or you're using su. The error indicates that the application wanted to open an X window, but had no connection to an X server. You'll either have to log in graphically as root (not recommended) or use sudo. Alternatively, you could just download the RPMs. ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/mozilla/ -tara

I would go with Tara's suggestion. I downloaded and installed the rc3 rpm this weekend and it worked like a charm. Be sure to run /sbin/SuSEconfig after you install it, though, otherwise you'll just get a gray screen. Good luck! Cheers, Charles __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

I concur. I got that lovely gray screen and wondered what the heck I'd screwed up. Tara's and other's set me straight and I'm back in business. Cary D. Beuershausen codejunkie@attbi.com Air conditioners and computers are alike. Once you open windows they're both useless.
SuSE gurus (Tara Andrews, Ben Rosenberg et al): At first, I was quite pissed because you told me I had to log in as root or sux, when I had clearly said "I'm doing all as root!" [So I honestly thought.] Though I had not said it, I was doing all within KDE, so not running X couldn't possibly apply. In the process, I learned a curious lesson. I use Midnight Commander extensively, Konsole not so much. One of the neat things both have is that, by clicking on File, you're offered five choices, two of which are Root Console and Root Midnight Commander; both require that you enter the root password to access the application. I had **assumed** that by entering the root password, I was working as full root. I now know better. So, as normal user, I applied for Root Console and did there all the work for the mozilla installation, until I came to the scratching halt of errors and denial of authorization. Honestly, I was flabbergasted. Cooling the head overnight, I logged in *as root* and went to issue the installation command. All went without a hitch! Moral: working in Root Console as root is not the same thing as working as "real" root. Oh, vey... -- Regards, gr, in /usually/ sunny, balmy Florida's Suncoast.

If you open an xterm EVEN if the X session is owned by your user account and you type 'su -' or 'sux' then YOU are working as root. The only difference is that if you type 'su -' then you can not execute the X based installer. :) I just installed Mozilla 1.0 final tonight this way and it worked absolutely without a doubt PERFECTLY :) sux (suing w/ privilages to run X programs), su will give you root privilages but you must do 'su -' to have it pick up root's environment other wise it's root privilages w/ your environment...simple. Glad you got it installed. I would check out O'Reilly's Essential Systems Administrator guide..it explains quite a bit..accept the sux thing..that's a SuSEism. :) * gilson redrick (gilsonr@cityisp.net) [020605 19:23]: ::SuSE gurus (Tara Andrews, Ben Rosenberg et al): :: ::At first, I was quite pissed because you told me I had to log in as root or ::sux, when I had clearly said "I'm doing all as root!"

You should type sux which as it sounds is su + X and lets you execute X programs which the Mozilla installer is. If you do this then you shouldn't have any issues. Since I update every 5 days to that days build as far as Mozilla is concerned..I do it quite a lot and I never have an issue. The newest Mozilla is tagged 1.0.0+ so it's damn close to the final and REALLY nice. -=Ben --=====-----=====-- mailto:ben@whack.org --=====-- If it's true that our species is alone in the universe, then I'd have to say that the universe aimed rather low and settled for very little. -GC --=====-----=====--
