Can't start synaptic
I can't seem to run synaptic from menu or cmd line.
From the cmd line I get: Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: No protocol specified (synaptic:4979): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: From the menu i get a KDESU error or somthing like that. I thinks it a sudo error--usr not in sudo list or something. I can 'apt-get' and install pkgs. just can't run synaptic. Tried 'apt-get upgrade synaptic' but it wants to ugrade 1327 pkgs as well. Did a Debian install from a Knoppix 5.1.1 dvd which i got from Linux Pro mag. i think it installed a generic 'byrel' uname -r gives 2.6.19 |
Try doing,
Code:
$su |
Gives me the same error msg.
Damn! |
Mmm. Try "su - root" and then try the commands redazz gave you, that may be the problem.
|
actually this should work
su export DISPLAY=:0 synaptic (or install sux and use that instead of su.) |
Another option is to do "xhost +hostname" before running synaptic to allow GUI apps to be run by any users on the machine you are using.
