I have rebuild bacula due to a mysql upgrade and everything works fine except wx-console. I get the following output when attempting to run wx-console:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] bacula]# ./bin/wx-console -c ./conf/wx-console.conf
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified
Error: Unable to initialize gtk, is DISPLAY set properly?
I have no idea what this means. I would greatly appreciate if someone could interpret it for me. Are you running wx-console as the same user that is logged into X? Are you running
this from the screen command?
I am running it from gnome-terminal as I used to before the rebuild.
Oh, I forgot to answer the first question. Yes, I am running as the same user who is logged into X.
You are running the whole desktop as root?  That's not generally a good
idea...
I don't think I do that. I generally run as my normal user, but when I have to restore some files I think I have to run with root previledges so I su (not su -) before running wx-console. Until I rebuild bacula it hasn't given me any problems. I wonder if someone can interpret the error messages I get.

Yes, that is the problem.  Root will not have permission to connect to your X
server by default.  I don't see how that can have worked in the past unless
you enabled X server access (e.g. with the xhost command).

AFAIK, you shouldn't need to run wx-console as root, because it connects to
the Bacula daemons to perform the restore.

Yes, you are right. I just tried without su and it worked fine. I guess I have some clean up to do with my access permissions. Thanks for pointing that out to me.
