Hi, Jerry: I get the same. However, when I run it as user, rather than root, it's just fine. I kinda remember something about sudo being a related item that lets you work with root within an application, when it's needed. HTH Tom
mmm... now that's risky. IF kpackage doesn't have root priviledge when you run it as user and then try to install something that requires root access then you are in a world of dodo. James Oakly suggested "sux -", an undocumented SuSE feature, which automatically does the xhost +localhost thing. Nice. JLK
