(Again) Konq & Launching Progs as Root
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 . This problem with Konq is a real PITA. I can't seem to get subscribed to the kde list (never get confirm), so I'll ask here. Running Suse8 with all current updates. It has always been my practice to run as a user, and to invoke Konq & Konsole in superuser mode when I need them thus. But with Suse8 I can no longer (as a user) launch X-based programs from these windows. Logged in as root I can, but not when as a user and launching from these programs. For instance in Konq I cannot right-click|OpenWith|Advanced Editor a file: "KDEInit could not launch 'kwrite'". And from the su konsole # konqueror and I get: Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: No protocol specified konqueror: cannot connect to X server :0 In user konsole $ kdesu konqueror yields nothing. This looks alot like a security issue. Maybe the X server is intentionally disabled from accepting root commands from a user. Or maybe it's one missing setup step. Anyone know the answer? - - -- Manual, n.: A unit of documentation. There are always three or more on a given item. One is on the shelf; someone has the others.

Have you tried using the "sux" command to switch user in X mode, before executing the applications? ~Dale ________________________________ Dale Schuster MIS Manager Lake Tahoe Horizon Casino Resort dschuster@horizoncasino.com

I tried sux in place of kdesu, and it fails whether in user or root console. But the inconvenience is I can't right-click & edit a file in Konq. In Konq I cannot right-click|OpenWith|Advanced Editor a file: "KDEInit could not launch 'kwrite'". Does anyone else see this? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE8zzGhnQ18+PFcZJsRAoSXAJ9Ke7u2+hYpber29ai6NbkebigmcgCfawy4 YEaU+tHqutFwGAbH1UCCY+0= =yvhK -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
