That command should be run as the desktop user, not root. The prompt
(#) indicates running as root. If you run as the logged in user, then
it should work as you previously reported.
You have not answered another question: which terminal program are you
using when you run these commands? (gnome-terminal, konsole, xterm,
etc.)
This error:

indicates that the active user on that terminal (root) is not
authorized to access the display for the logged in user (that is, the
desktop user). This is not a bug, but a security feature. You can
seek help on authorization elsewhere, perhaps by consulting the
xauth(1) and xhost(1) manuals.
