Hello Debian users,
I was wondering how I can fix this problem regarding the root user and X.
Normally, I log into the machine as a regular user then use the su command
to become root. Whenever I need to utilize X(xmms, emacs), I get an error
stating the following:
==============================================
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by the server
Xlib: client is not authorized to connect to Server
emacs: Cannot connect to X server :0.0
Check the DISPLAT environment variable or use `-d'
Also use the xhost program to verify that it is set to permit connections
fro your machine
==============================================
I'm thinking that I need to add the root user to the Xlib somehow.
Unfortunately, I'm a newbie when it comes to linux so....
