I had the same problem before, But is a protection system of Xserver You cannot use bash or konsole as root and try to use your user Xserver. Is for security. If you can doit. Make vulnerable your system. try for example with amsn 0.83 you make a directory in /root later as user use konsole as root and try to make run cd /root/msn ./amsn and give you the same answer.

Take a look at your /etc/hosts file, it probably contains a line that has something like:
127.0.0.2 <your long host name here> <shortname>
This is a non-existant host, really. You need to modify it, and make sure it contains the true IP number of your host.
Everything else appears to be working okay and, in fact, I can execute YaST2 from the command line and YaST comes up in it's gui form and works as expected. If some of you smart people could suggest a way to proceed, I'd appreciate it.
