Ohh, that works! Thank you. Now, after xhost +local:localhost xhost says "non-network local connections being added to access control list" This is quite different than anything I had before. However after su I must still export DISPLAY=:0 Then I can load synaptic. I'd like to not be required to type the export DISPLAY line every time. I _believe_ I didn't have to do that in the past. Also since xhost +localhost used to work fine, I'd like to understand why it has ceased to work. Any idea on that? Thanks very much for your tip. Larry > >I think it defaults to inet.
