-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Actually.... :-) Using xhost is way way wrong. The correct way of doing things is: On your local machine do xauth list mymachine.mydomain.com:0.0 and you get a reply: mymachine.mydomain.com:0 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 37cb47264b485cd2e24ef9421def2a83 Then, on your remote machine do: xauth add mymachine.mydomain.com:0 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 37cb47264b485cd2e24ef9421def2a83 That's all. Your key shouldn't change that often, but when it does, just issue on the remote machine: xauth remove mymachine.mydomain.com:0 before you add the new key. Happy remote X-ing :-) - -tosi Þann fimmtudagur 01 febrúar 2001 21:29 skrifaðir þú:
Actually....
Thats the way I have always had to do it....Why it happens that I can only guess at a security feature (I am taking a guess that it maybe to
do
with the video group 0660 and maybe not letting anyone outside of it attaching to the X process). I have little idea what has changed in your case...Did you run any updates? Its a security mechanism, do this in a in your terminal screen man xhost.
Try my suggestion as I get the same as you do when I do not do the xhost command.
<snip>
Do you log in a user on the system? If so, are
you running a program
via root through a terminal in your X sessions?
If you are trying to
run a program via root then you need to do this
as the user who
started the X sessions:
xhost +localhost
Then you can go in as root and eun your
program.
This also happened to me. One of the IT support folk at work showed me how to get round it using basically the same fix as suggested. The only difference was in a konsole that was _not root_ I had to type:
prompt> export DISPLAY=<IP address of machine or machine name>:0 prompt> xhost +localhost
for this to work.
Hope this helps, but please ignore if of no use as I am complete novice.
