Re: unable to start xcdroast as root

Using KDE - the xhost +local:root command worked. Didn't work if I tried to use a root console but when I did it in a user console and then su'd root I was given some error information which allowed me to get things going. Thank you all. bob On Thu, Nov 15, 2007 at 02:47:40PM -0800, David Witbr

Hi, From the root console: # /usr/bin/xcdroast The reply: (xcdroast:18770): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: If I start from a user console I get the window that says you must first start as root to set up. If I set the suid bit on xcdroast it tries to start from a user but dies. Any help
