| Feb 16, 2012 at 21:48 | comment | added | Lynob | sudo env XAUTHORITY=${XAUTHORITY:-~/.Xauthority} xterm gives me No protocol specified Warning: This program is an suid-root program or is being run by the root user. The full text of the error or warning message cannot be safely formatted in this environment. You may get a more descriptive message by running the program as a non-root user or by removing the suid bit on the executable. xterm Xt error: Can't open display: %s So how to do the other 2 options sir? I'm not a linux expert :) | |
