staroffice7 update - susepro 9.1
Susepro linux 9.1; staroffice 7 with prior updates I was trying to update so7 with the latest patch [Aug 23] but ran into trouble. Prior patches installed with no problem. The .bin file reports it cannot connect to the X server which it needs to do to install the update. I know that Suse, with 9.1, replaced the X-X11 functionality with XFree86 and I assumed that a request for X would be handled by XFree86 without my intervention? - am I wrong? Furthermore, the other update patches did not have this problem. Do I now have to advise the patch function[s] of the change - how? -- Cheers, Serge [Naggar Consulting]

er, no, XFree86 was what was before. It got replaced by X.org.

My guess is that you went to root by running su, is that right? Try using 'sux' instead of 'su' when you go to root, and see if that helps. In future, please include the exact error messages you receive, otherwise it's terribly difficult to make suggestions
