    Xandros Issues



    Hi everyone,

    I have some problems running standard Debian apps in Xandros.
    VideoLan, synaptic and Xine all come back with the same errors:

    Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
    Xlib: No protocol specified

    Cannot open display
    Anything you can do to help would be great.
    Thanks

    You are probably trying to run them as root from the console. You can do this, but you first need to set the DISPLAY variable, like:
    Code:
    export DISPLAY=:7.0
    You can also use kdesu app to run apps as root. Just type as normal user: kdesu synaptic and the system will ask you for the root password and then the app shows up.
