More useful information: - What command are you running? - What is the *exact* error message? - How is your root session executing? - Are you local or remote on this box? If you are logged in as a nonprivileged user, are 'su'd or 'sudo'd to root, and are attempting to run an X client, try specifying the local display *and* merging xauth records, as root: # export DISPLAY=<local display> # xauth merge ~/<nonprivileged user>/.Xauthority Peace. -- Karsten M.
