when hitting stuff like this, that used tojust work
I think i will forever be a newbie
anyway i can no longer get any response out of xhost
either as normal user or when su'ing to root
[byers@byers byers]$ xhost
access control enabled, only authorized clients can connect
[byers@byers byers]$ su
Password:
[root@byers byers]# xhost
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server
xhost: unable to open display ":0.0"
[root@byers byers]# exit
[byers@byers byers]$ echo $DISPLAY
:0.0
[byers@byers byers]$ su
Password:
[root@byers byers]# echo $DISPLAY
:0.0
[root@byers byers]#
at some point in the distant past i amsure iwas able to
run xhost and see the list of addresses i had set up
for access, and also to do the +hostname for adding in new ones
but now, as you can see above i cant even get in.
isnt the 0:0 ok for DISPLAY doing stuff locally?
for some reason i am drawing a complete blank here,
maybe something i used to do differently.
a similar response when trying to change an XF86Config file:
first when trying as normal user emacs opens the file fine but
says it is write protected which checks.
[byers@byers X11]$ emacs XF86Confignew &
[1] 868
[byers@byers X11]$
ok so i su
and try to open the file:
[byers@byers X11]$ su
Password:
[root@byers X11]# emacs XF86Confignew &
[1] 871
[root@byers X11]# Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server
emacs: Cannot connect to X server :0.0.
Check the DISPLAY environment variable or use `-d'.
Also use the `xhost' program to verify that it is set to permit
connections from your machine.
ahh but i cant get xhost program to respond..??????
thanks for any help
Jack
