X server? $DISPLAY? Now what?
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified x11drv: Can't open display: :0.0 Please ensure that your X server is running and that $DISPLAY is set correctly. This is what I get when I try to install some windows software using wine. What does it mean and how do I fix it? |
That means that you're trying to run a program that
requires X as a different user than the one whose X display you're working on. Quick & dirty solution: As the owner of the X session: xhost +localhost As the user who wants to install: export DISPLAY=localhost:0.0 Cheers, Tink |
Thanks Tink :) That seems to do the trick :) *bows for the guru* :D
That's probably the first answer I've gotten that solved a problem at first try :) |
