Thanks for the quick response, I put that in my ~/.bashrc and it worked...
partially. I can run most programs fine now but I still get an error if I try
to run linuxconf, same message except with 'Error message from remadmin:' in
front of each line:
Error message from remadmin :Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Error message from remadmin :Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to ServerError
message from remadmin :
Error message from remadmin :Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0
remadmin (GUI frontend) exiting abnormaly
It's not a big problem for me since I can run in init 5, but I thought I should
mention that that addition to ~/.bashrc did not fix the problem for every
program.
