Ok. Tried that and another suggestion and here's what I get: brooks@84:~> xhost +localhost localhost being added to access control list brooks@84:~> su Password: 84:/home/brooks # export DISPLAY=:0.0 84:/home/brooks # wget -q -O - http://go.ximian.com |sh ==> Autodetecting system type... ==> Checking $DISPLAY and X permissions... The Ximian Desktop Installer is a graphical application, and either you have no DISPLAY variable set or the root user does not have permission to access your X server. Run 'xhost +localhost' before becoming root, and make sure that the DISPLAY variable is set correctly before running the go-ximian script. Cleaning up temporary files... done. 84:/home/brooks # echo $DISPLAY :0.0
