I have seen this for years but until now I just left it alone. I now need to be able to allow someone else to do some of the system updating & they are not as experienced as I so they are less likely to perceive this as simply a quirk. When I do an update or any other function from the xserver screen in KDE with any Debian system update app I get this message from the app:
dpkg-preconfigure: cannot connect to X server :0.0 debconf: unable to initialize frontend: Kde debconf: (DISPLAY problem?) debconf: falling back to frontend: Dialog Preconfiguring packages ... (Reading database ... 398019 files and directories currently installed.) It is a source of irritation to me. I tried switching the Xwrapper.config to "allowed_users=anybody" (against my better judgement) but that did not fix the problem. I do not run these as root but instead use the root password from the xserver screen when asked for it. Any other suggestions? -- John W.
