You are not following the instructions. He said "start GUI program", he didn't say anything about "startx"; which will not work, you are attempting to start a second GUI session from inside one.
You are supposed to run "antivir-gui" - the GUI program you wante to run at first.
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? # xauth merge /home/username_here/.Xauthority If that doesn't do it, then: # touch /root/.Xauthority, and then try the xauth command again.

How did you become root? If you use "su -" from a working X session, then an X program will work for root, as we mentioned before. As for the group warning, you could silence that by typing (as root) "usermod -A antivir root" Joe -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
