Avi suggested xhost +localhost before su, but another person suggested sux - which works very nicely! JLK On Tuesday 27 February 2001 17:11, Mark Hounschell wrote:

What isn't broke in 7.1? JLK
After all is said and done, we all now know how to run programs as root while being logged as a user. But the one your trying there will barf on you even so. It's a kde2 thing. The dcopserver will be spitting at you. Try to open an rpm file in a directory other than home. If you use the kde1 version it will work. Kde2 has many changes. Don't know if kde2.1 has this quirk fixed. As far as your error message above, it's been that way since my first, Suse6.1, when trying to run an X prgm as root while being logged in as user.
