Hello, I'm new to the list, so sorry if it is a very common question:
How can I allow access to the x server to root, Im getting an error message when trying to install a program that uses that server, as root.
Thanks a lot.
The temporary way to do it is to run "xhost +" or "xhost +root" in the user's shell (not root's shell). ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- DDDD David Kramer david@thekramers.net http://thekramers.net DK KD DKK D "It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live, remember that."
