linuxmandrake · 02-16-2006, 02:37 AM

sc@ubuntu:~$ dchroot -d xclock
(breezy) xclock
dchroot: chdir: No such file or directory
Xlib: connection to "localhost:0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified

Error: Can't open display: :0.0
dchroot: Child exited non-zero.
dchroot: Operation failed.

why? I have installed the xbase libraries. but it still wont work. sc is a normal user. Basically what am trying to link my chroot to my 64bit xserver so that i can run anjuta along with sdl and other 32bit apps.

2 solutions:
1) You want to have a different home directory : 1 in the chroot and one in the real /. Then you need to copy Xauthority

Code:

cp /home/user/.Xauthority /chroot/home/user

2) You want to share the same home directory between the chroot and the real /. Then add this to the "real" /etc/fstab (not in the chroot)

Code:

/home           /chroot/home    none    rbind           0

But all the links in /home that points to something in the real / will be broken
