Hello, You have to export the variable XAUTHORITY before invoke su export XAUTHORITY=~/.Xauthority su
do not use the '-' in su command because this invoke the shell which read the .profile files and over write you XAUTHORITY variable. You will find a sample .bash_profile under /usr/share/docs/bash........ I hope it helped Pavlos Αρχικό μήνυμα από Marco Calviani <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Hi everybody, > i've got a problem whenever i become root and try to open a window in > my user X session: > > for example: > > [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ su > [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ eog > Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server > Xlib: No protocol specified > > > Does anybody can diagnose the problem? > > Thanks, > MC > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
