Hi,
before I
emerge -e system/world
my whole system I could allow root to open the X display by typing
xhost +local:root ???
. This seems to not to work any longer.
When starting ethereal/wireshark I get:
Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:
.
I searched the gentoo wiki for matches to combinations of
X11 root xhost
and such but didnt find anything else than the xhost command as shown
above.
Is there any way to allow root to use the X display when a user has
opened the session and su'ed to root ?
Thank you very much for any help in advance !
I am able to (for example) open xterm as root by doing:
sudo xterm -display :0.0
This tells xterm what xserver to run on (0.0 in my case) and also
works outside of Xorg.
Hope that helps.
