xterm No protocol specified Warning: This program is an suid-root program or is being run by the root user. The full text of the error or warning message cannot be safely formatted in this environment. You may get a more descriptive message by running the program as a non-root user or by removing the suid bit on the executable. xterm Xt error: Can't open display: %s
Using XAUTHORITY=/var/lib/xdm/authdir/authfiles/A:0-wiLE9X in another ROOT-shell works fine. Even setting XAUTHORITY="" and creating a valid /root/.Xauthority that allows root to launch any program from any vtXX will not help. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
