Yes, that is the problem. Root will not have permission to connect to your X server by default. I don't see how that can have worked in the past unless you enabled X server access (e.g. with the xhost command). AFAIK, you shouldn't need to run wx-console as root, because it connects to the Bacula daemons to perform the restore. __Martin ------------------------------------------------------- All the advantages of Linux Managed Hosting--Without the Cost and Risk!
