Subject: X setup problem? connection to ":0,0" refused by server
When I attempt
emacs /etc/init.d/networking
from xterm I get
connection to ":0,0" refused by server
It works from a virtual terminal.
are you sure you didn't su to root before executing emacs?
maybe you are logged in as root in the virtual terminal.
I'm sorry. I left out that most important piece of information. Yes I
su'd to root in X and from the VT. (I think I wouldn't have permission
to change that file if I wasn't root).
If so:
#export DISPLAY=0:0 XAUTHORITY=/home/yourusername/.Xauthority <enter>
and try again.
Thanks for your answer to my wrong question.
Using emacs (as root) to configure my network works on the machine I am
on now but not the one I was asking about.
Now, any answers to the right question?
TIA,
Paul
