Sorry to say, I don't know how LXDE starts. I installed it using aptitude. After login with userid peter and my password, LXDE works. As peter in a terminal window in LXDE, I started xeyes. As root in a terminal window in LXDE, I attempted to start gparted with the result noted previously, > What if you try running gpartedbin directly instead of gparted? peter@joule:~$ sudo gparted [sudo] password for peter: No protocol specified (gpartedbin:2007): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0 peter@joule:~$ su Password: root@joule:/home/peter# gparted No protocol specified (gpartedbin:2099): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0 root@joule:/home/peter# gpartedbin No protocol specified (gpartedbin:2116): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0 Thanks, ...
