I have just installed stable (jessie) on a machine that used to run Kubuntu. This machine is mostly accessed remotely, using ssh.
If I log in as a normal user over ssh, I can run X programs fine. (For example, typing "xterm" brings up the expected terminal.) However, if I execute "sudo xterm", then I receive the message: ---- n7dr@shack:~$ sudo xterm X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication. ---- What is wrong and how do I fix it so that I can run graphical programs across the network using sudo? I'm sure it's just a simple configuration issue, but my google-fu seems to be lacking today. (FWIW, the ~/.Xauthority file for the superuser and for the ordinary user are identical.)
