If the permissions and paths on your PC require k3b to be run as root, then use the following sequence of commands, unless root is the user initially logged in:
As the normal user: "xhost +" (since the user who is logged in owns the display, s/he must give permission to other users to open a window on the main console). As root: export DISPLAY=:0 (since X Windows allows a window to be opened on any X server, this tells it to use the main console) k3b >&/dev/null& (start in the background, and redirect STDERR and STDOUT to the null device; otherwise you get a bunch of gobbledygook). -- Bhaskar On Tue, 2005-03-22 at 09:56 -0500, Nancy Anthracite wrote: > My impression is that K3B is very smart, much smarter than I am, thank > goodness!
