Thank you Carlos for your reply. I can see your point, but that again
leads me to how I can solve the problem sent with my first query:
# ./antivir-gui
WARNING: root is not in `antivir' group
ERROR: Can't connect to an X server. Please try the following:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- generate or merge `.Xauthority'. You can merge with:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
$ xauth merge <path-to-user-with-X-rights>/.Xauthority
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
How do I set this. I cannot follow the xauth merge information, but
think it maybe could be solved with yast, but how ?
did you read the error message, and try FOLLOWING
THE DIRECTIONS?
I did. But as I wrote in the first msg, I did not understand quite how to.
If I did it was a waste of time for my fellow friends here!!!
# xauth merge /home/username_here/.Xauthority
If that doesn't do it, then:
# touch /root/.Xauthority,
# ls -l .Xauthority
-rw------- 1 root root 198 Jan 24 12:17 .Xauthority
You can see, that .Xauthority exists.
and then try the xauth command again.
You still think that now ?.
I had a problem similar to this once.
I erased my .Xauthority and I either allowed the
system to regenerate it, or I did this:
# cp ~akulkis/.Xauthority /root/.Xauthority
It's been 4 years, and I only had to do it once,
so I forget.
