Thank you Carlos for your reply. I can see your point, but that again leads me to how I can solve the problem sent with my first query:

# ./antivir-gui

WARNING: root is not in `antivir' group

ERROR: Can't connect to an X server. Please try the following: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

...

- generate or merge `.Xauthority'. You can merge with:

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

...

$ xauth merge <path-to-user-with-X-rights>/.Xauthority ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

...

How do I set this. I cannot follow the xauth merge information, but think it maybe could be solved with yast, but how ?

did you read the error message, and try FOLLOWING THE DIRECTIONS?

I did. But as I wrote in the first msg, I did not understand quite how to. If I did it was a waste of time for my fellow friends here!!!

...

# xauth merge /home/username_here/.Xauthority

If that doesn't do it, then:

# touch /root/.Xauthority,

# ls -l .Xauthority -rw------- 1 root root 198 Jan 24 12:17 .Xauthority

You can see, that .Xauthority exists.

...

and then try the xauth command again.

You still think that now ?.

I had a problem similar to this once. I erased my .Xauthority and I either allowed the system to regenerate it, or I did this: # cp ~akulkis/.Xauthority /root/.Xauthority It's been 4 years, and I only had to do it once, so I forget. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
