I was attempting to run a command spadmin which is used to set up printers and fonts in OpenOffice. When I run it a super user, it returns the error: XLib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server XLib: No protocol specified /opt/OpenOffice.org/program/spadmin.bin x11 error: Can't open display: :0 Set DISPLAY environment variable, use -display option Or check permissions of your X-Server (See "man X" resp. "man xhost" for details) I read the man pages, and toyed with the -display :0 option on spadmin, but got the same error. I then tried running "xhost +local" and "xhost +" (no network connection, no dialup access) and received the same two XLib error lines listed above. So, it looks like I've got a problem with my X Server configuration, but I can't seem to find anything about how to fix it. Also, I didn't glean from the man pages how to check the permissions of the X-Server as suggested in the error message. Any thoughts on how to fix this? Thanks. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- Bill Lugg Software Engineer, MilStar AF Command Post Terminal Software Support OO-ALC/MASFE, Peterson AFB, CO William.Lugg@cisf.af.mil <mailto:william.lugg@cisf.af.mil> The only difference between a tax man and a taxidermist is that the taxidermist leaves the skin. -- Mark Twain
