If you look at the threads of a few days ago, you'll see that someone came up with a solution, which was to turn off X authorisation the first time you run it. The next time you run it it will work even with authorisation on. So
xhost +inet:localhost firefox exit firefox xhost -inet:localhost firefox
will work
Hmmm...tried that and I'm still getting the same error:
veronica@linux:~/thunderbird> xhost +inet:localhost localhost being added to access control list veronica@linux:~/thunderbird> ./thunderbird Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: XDM authorization key matches an existing client!
Something didn't work. It shouldn't look at authorisation at all after the above xhost command
(thunderbird-bin:5470): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:
Is there something else that could be tried?
Try turning authorisation off completely with xhost + After you've run it once, you can turn auth back on with xhost -
