Re: Diety / Apt Questions.
Are you logged into the same box? I mean you start an Xterm on the same
box and then su root. It should work as shown. Try this: as the user
running X type 'echo $DISPLAY'. su to root and type what the other
display is set to. Also as the user running X try typing xhost +. This
will allow clients to access your X server (I think).
