xhost localhost xhost adds localhost to the hosts that can connect to your machine. in the non root shell then su runxprogams
I've never worked with multi-user systems before and I don't have yet any feel for that kind of thing. If I'm in X (not as root) and open a root shell, I cannot call any x apps from the root shell, it says "couldn't connect to xserver". Am I doing something that goes against the will of the linux gods? Or am I just not doing it well? Could somebody please help me?
as for printers and fonts no help from me. - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archiv at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>
