Is there a way to give root (or anyone else) permission so this error doesn't come up?

Re: Question re. AbiWord
Sure - check out man xhost. If (like me) you're a totally isolated host you can just do xhost + in a terminal window owned by the user running X; that will allow ANY host, ANYWHERE, to display om your machine. If you're connected to the net you might want to refine your xhost command to allow only specific hosts/users. ap -- Andrew J Perrin - Ph.D. Candidate, UC Berkeley, Dept. of Sociology Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA - http://demog.berkeley.edu/~aperrin [EMAIL PROTECTED] - [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Thu, 15 Feb 2001, Ross Boylan wrote: Is there a way to give root (or anyone else) permission so this error doesn't come up?

Re: Question re. AbiWord
Oops, still learning to read. I have a related problem, but it's with Gnome. Here's the sequence: 1) login as a regular use via gdm 2) open a terminal and su 3) gtop Leads to this error on the terminal: GnomeUI-WARNING **: While connecting to session manager: Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed. Over time, I accumulate these messages too: glibtop: glibtop_get_proc_state (): Client requested field mask f, but only have c. glibtop: glibtop_get_proc_mem (): Client requested field mask 0003f, but only have 00032. By the way, I tried xhost +. It didn't affect the preceding problems. On Fri, Feb 16, 2001 at 07:58:57AM -0500, Andrew Perrin wrote: Sure - check out man xhost.

Re: Question re. AbiWord
Are you trying to run it from a terminal that you're currently root in, while you're using X as a regular user? If so just stop being root and it should be ok. Otherwise, try: export display=:0.0 I *THINK* that will do the trick.
