I have Slackware 10.1 and whenever I start aterm, I get the following at my prompt.

Code:

declare -x CLASSPATH="./:/opt/java/classes"

declare -x COLORFGBG="15;default"

declare -x COLORTERM="rxvt-xpm"

declare -x DESKTOP_SESSION="fluxbox-desk"

declare -x HOME="/home/secure"

declare -x HOSTNAME="UNIX"

declare -x INPUTRC="/etc/inputrc"

declare -x JCLIENT="/opt/java/jre/bin/java -client "

Also, whenever I run a program as su from terminal, I get this error:
[/code]root:# firefox
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key

(firefox-bin:1813): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:[/CODE]

I am not for sure what I did. If anyone knows whats going on, I would appreciate it.
It was working fine and now I get the Xlib error and have to add xhost +localhost
now. How can I fix this? Thanx

Code:

When you say "a program", I assume you mean a program that requires an X server? Under Slackware 10.1 (although it may be related to the X.Org version used), only the user who started the X server can connect to it. To allow anyone else to, you have to muck about with the xhost allow and deny, IIRC (but I never had much luck/incentive in getting it working).

Heres my echo $PS2 :

Code:

secure:$ echo $PS1

\[\033[1;36m\]\h:/\w\[\033[0;39m\]\n\u:\$

Heres my .bashrc

Code:

# .bashrc

# sourced by BASH everytime it start

# Set various environment variables



## These should be set by /etc/profile

## But sometime, bash missed them. So here is the push

export

PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/opt/bin:/usr/X11/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/$

for SH in /etc/profile.d/*.sh; do

  . $SH

done



## Set a default shell prompt:

## A complete one

#PS1="${PS_CYAN}\h:/\w\n${PS_NORMAL}\u:\\$ "

#PS2="> "



## Standard with color

## This is the plain standard prompt

#PS1="${PS_DGREEN}\u${PS_YELLOW}@${PS_DGREEN}\h:\\$ ${PS_NORMAL}"

#PS2="> "



## This is the plain standard prompt

#PS1="\u@\h:\\$ "

#PS2="> "

I couldnt find the .bash_profile though. I created another user and dont the garbage at the top of aterm until I su to root then I get the garbage file again.

I think the localhost problem has to do with the first problem because I didnt get an error before.

to allow " user_su-ed_to_root " to use the X-screen,
just type " $xhost + "
( as the user... )

egag

It happened after I removed the recently used programs list from showing on the top of the aterm using the directions JohnB316 posted here: http://www.vectorlinux.com/forum/vie...839&highlight=

I have since went through the post and it works fine now. I only messed with the /home/user/.bashrc and not the root .bashrc. :eek:

After I changed the root/.bashrc file to

Code:

## This is the plain standard prompt

PS1="\u@\h:\\$ "

PS2="> "

I was playing around with a couple of files so that may have not been the entire problem
Atleast its fixed though.

I also found the fix for the running as root in Slackware

Code:

root:# firefox

Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server

Xlib: Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key

(firefox-bin:1813): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:

The problem is I lose the settings upon reboot. Anyone know how this can be autorun preferably in fluxbox?
