What is the exact error you are getting? If you are working from a console, make sure that your DISPLAY environment variable is set, and that you export it. Assuming X is running on display 0 try (and that you are using bash): # export DISPLAY=:0 # xhost +the.ip.address.or.hostname Nathan -- GPG Public Key ID: 0x4250A04C gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 4250A04C http://63.105.21.156/gpg_nkinkade_4250A04C.asc
