-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 In Konsole use "sux" instead of "su" or "kdesu". It adds your cookie to roots cookiejar ( ~/.Xauthority ) AnonymousCoward (þriðjudagur 30. apríl 2002 14:51)
. I can't seem to get subscribed to the kde list (never get confirm), so I'll ask here.
Running Suse8 with all current updates. It has always been my practice to run as a user, and to invoke Konq & Konsole in superuser mode when I need them thus.
But with Suse8 I can no longer (as a user) launch X-based programs from these windows. Logged in as root I can, but not when as a user and launching from these programs. For instance in Konq I cannot right-click|OpenWith|Advanced Editor a file: "KDEInit could not launch 'kwrite'". And from the su konsole # konqueror and I get: Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: No protocol specified
konqueror: cannot connect to X server :0
In user konsole $ kdesu konqueror yields nothing.
This looks alot like a security issue. Maybe the X server is intentionally disabled from accepting root commands from a user. Or maybe it's one missing setup step. Anyone know the answer?
