When trying to do anything from the KDE control panel it fails. I click the 'root' button and it reverts to the wizard again. Giving yast2 to a root command line has this effect... 10:28:20 /# yast2 & [1] 2390 12:49:55 /# Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key y2controlcenter: cannot connect to X server :0 Any ideas what that means? More usefully, what can I do about it?

It seems like you're using X as mortal user and then starting YaST2 as root. This fails becuase root can't get access to the other users X terminal. Make sure you have kdesu installed.

Open a terminal and type this: sux - then type the root password....you can execute any program as root in XF4.x this way. -- Ben Rosenberg mailto:ben@whack.org ----- If two men agree on everything, you can be sure that only one of them is doing the thinking.
