Hi,
I am new to Debian.
In Suse if you are normal user you use . sux - . to become root and be able to use GUI applications.
Kindly please what would the same be in Debian.
Set your display as root: export DISPLAY=:0.0
then allow localhost access to the display as normal user: xhost + localhost
I have ssh set up to allow passwordless login as root; that forwards X11 so I can run GUI programs from the commandline.
You can also install and run VNC to run a full KDE (or whatever) desktop as root which is what I do, or set up VNC to display a {g,k,d}dm login screen and login as whomever you like.
I have several vnc sessions active on 1600x1200 virtual screens that I can display fullscreen as 1600x1200 real screens on my real 1600x1200 monitor.
