I am using debian sarge.
When I try to run: "sudo synaptic" I get the below warning.

I have to my ~/.bash_profile file added following, according to advice from
some mailing list, but it does not help:
if [[ -z $DISPLAY ]]; then
export DISPLAY=:0.0
fi
And I ran: "sources ~/.bash_profile" right after
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance :-)
I am a newbie, so please do explain a little bit in detail, as I find linux
enormous with commands, and possibly do give a small example *smile*
Not only what to do, but also how to do *humour - smile*
Many times I find examples better than "long" explanations?
I think you do the following: before "sudo whaterver", do as the regular
user:
xhost +local:localhost
then "sudo whatever".
I'm not sure though... :-)
HTH,
Luis
