I agree with, that sometimes I dont supply enough information to get a concise anwers. Also Im not sure if there was much more information I could have given you about this problem. But Andrew Ray appeard to know what I was talking about straight away. So I got the impression you would too.
I did, suffice it to say that here was no WRONG answer. Andrew,
Thomas Adam said: listen to yourself.... the answers andrew and I supplied DO exactly what you want. I hardly think that typing in a command is taxing, do you? Hmm, well actually, you *did* remember to open up "xterm" BEFORE trying to type, didn't you?
I did everything you told me to do! And not single one of them worked! Oh and yes I did open up xterm.
Then, alas, you must have mis-typed them? Which ones did you try? I'd like to know, please.
I always try every solution that is sent to me. There is a possiblility that they were typed wrongly as I often get confused when people send me solutions like: ssh -X root@localhost /path/to/the/executable/you/were/trying/to/run or: $ su - # export DISPLAY=:0.0 # xauth merge ~n6tadam/.Xauthority where "~n6tadam" is the user X is running as. Personally number 4) is much more secure. Never use number 1) unless you're mad. As I have never seen the command before I dont always know where I should put the information specific to me.
To be honest Thomas all the answers you have given end up being corrected by someone else. So basicly you havent really helped me at all!
I'm sorry for that. You see, as luck wouldn't have it, I don't have access to a Linux box when I reply to e-mails, hence I do everything from memory. Although, in many cases, I do correct myself, on the odd occassion.
Kindly,
Thomas Adam
