Xlib error

[Matt Cahill]

 Hey folks,

I'm not sure whether it has anything to do with recently switching
over to kdm (from gdm), but when I try to start Synaptic (or xhost for
that matter), I get the following...

Quote:

--------------
root at Apostata:~# synaptic
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified


(synaptic:2635): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:

--------------

I've done some searching around on this one, and I can't find any
definitive solutions. I've tried removing '~/.Xauthority' in both user
and root, as some suggested, to no avail.

Again, I'm not sure if this has *anything* to do with switching to
kdm, but I can't think of anything else that can be triggering it
(outside of conflicts with dist updates). BTW - I'm using Libranet
2.8.1 (w/ KDE 3.3.1), albeit apt-get'd to pseudo-unstable.

Any takers?
