Q: Are you running an X display at the time this message is given,
or are you attempting to run Firefox from the console?

Kevin Kinsey

I have tried both. It is running from the console that gives the message
  quoted - if I am running an X display at the time it fails with no
message at all.


This is a Firefox oddity.  It needs to be run as root one time after it is 
installed (or [sometimes] upgraded).  Do this from an xterm:


cd
su
cp .Xauthority /root
firefox

Assuming the browser window comes up, you can just close it.  You should be 
able to run it as a regular user afterwards.


JN


Thanks for both bits of advice - one of them worked, though I'm not sure 
which!


So now I can strat Firefox from an xterm, but 2 things still puzzle me 
though:
1) Forgive my stupidity, but why can I not start Firefox from the 
console? Or rather, what could I do to make it do so with a single command?
2) I thought Firefox wasn't going to start from the xterm, but really it 
just took ages - far longer than I am used to with my old OS (same 
machine). Is there something I am missing here too?

Hi:

You may want to check the following.

1. prompt$ xhost + (from the connecting client)
2. export DISPLAY=client-ip-address:0.0

Firefox should start if the above mentioned settings are in place.

Hope this helps.

I'm perfectly willing to be wrong, flamed, and corrected, but my counter
question (and it seems a good one to me):  how do you expect to run a
graphical program in a non-graphical environment?

If you wish, you could add firefox to your ~/.xinitrc or
(? .Xresources ?) file, and then firefox would be called when
you called startx to invoke X Windows.

2) I thought Firefox wasn't going to start from the xterm, but really it

machine). Is there something I am missing here too?


I couldn't say.  I've used firefox, and more often the entire Mozilla
suite (which is now 'Seamonkey').  It probably starts slower and hangs
more often than any other program I run on FreeBSD, (with the possible
exception of the xrayswarm screen saver) but I can't say why or that
I've even done much investigating.  I did build a 'debug' version
of Seamonkey last time, but I've not yet done anything with it.  FWIW,
it seems a tad less prone to some of the behavior I saw with Mozilla
(which seems strange, perhaps).

Of course, I use it heavily, so perhaps that characterization is
flawed.

Hi,

Saifi's reply should get it all to work, and it comes in handy to understand
why. 

Saifi wrote
 1. prompt$ xhost + (from the connecting client)
 2. export DISPLAY=client-ip-address:0.0

XWindows is a network service. You need a) to tell your client WHERE to send
the 'graphics' ( that's point 2) in Saifi's mail. and b) Xorg has to allow you
to connect to it (has to allow you to send  *your* apps' graphs into its
displays.

When you start an X session, DISPLAY env var is set automatically:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] [Fri May 19 11:06:49 2006]
~
$ env | grep DISPLAY
DISPLAY=:0.0

I am not completelly sure how do clients inside the session get authorised -
BUT anything that is NOT started from another host OR a different user than the
one owning the display (Xorg ) you want to use will need to be authorised with
xhost.

I just tested this doing Ctrl-Alt-F1, logging as myself again, i typed aterm,
then went back to X and there it was my new term. WHY you couldnt do that with
firefox, i dont know.

HIH.

Gtk-Warning **: Cannot open display

2006-05-16 Thread Barnaby Scott

Oh dear!

I thought I was getting somewhere, but progress is painfully slow until 
I can istall a browser and get it to work, so that I can look up 
solutions to the avalanche of 'challenges' that seem to befalling this 
newbie!


So, I installed Firefox from ports, having made sure everything was bang 
up to date. Evrything seemed to go perfectly well, but lo and behold, 
first attempt to use it and I get this:


(firefox-bin:582): Gtk-Warning **: Cannot open display

What the..?

I have searched for this problem and found plenty of references similar 
error messages, but none of it seems to apply in my case. I am not 
trying to run Firefox as root, I am not doing it from a remote terminal, 
I am not standing in a bucket of water, I have the computer plugged in.


Any clues?

I have tried both. It is running from the console that gives the message

Try running firefox from an xterm during an X session.  The
message given is because it's being run from outside an X session,
and is therefore irrelevant, most likely.

 As mentioned in an earlier post, I tried that on my own when I ran into

Just to be clear, FreeBSD is shipped with root logins via SSH
*DISABLED*. (most Linux distros i remember, OTOH, have it enabled).


 I have another possibly related issue.  I cannot use the login command for
 root either.  I get the same effects: prompt for password but password
 does not work.

- if you go to the console, can you log in as root?
- is the shell program assigned to the root user a valid root?


 I have a feeling this has to do with pam which I know nothing about.

why do you say that is PAM related?

 Hello, I am running FreeBSD 5.4 with the Fluxbox window manager.  I have
 installed a MySQL GUI but I cannot run it as root:
 
 (mysql-administrator-bin:814): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:
 
 I logged in locally as a non-privileged user (who can open the program)
 and su'd to root.  I then set my DISPLAY variable:
 
 # DISPLAY=LOCALHOST:0.0
 
 Here are the programs (mysql-administrator calls mysql-administrator-bin):
 
 -rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel   546B Feb  8 03:10
 /usr/X11R6/bin/mysql-administrator
 -rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel   2.3M Feb  8 03:10
 /usr/X11R6/bin/mysql-administrator-bin
 
 What should I do?

That was the first thing I looked at.  The superuser is permitted to log

What should I do?
  
  I tried the X11 forwarding but my password for root is not being
 accepted.

As mentioned in an earlier post, I tried that on my own when I ran into
trouble and I have not edited this file.  The default is to allow root
logins.

I have another possibly related issue.  I cannot use the login command for
root either.  I get the same effects: prompt for password but password
does not work.

I have a feeling this has to do with pam which I know nothing about.
