Re: What is stormix
It's because root doesn't have 'rights' to your X display. You can't run any
X programs as root if you su to root when you are logged into X as yourself.
The command:
xhost +host_name
typed in as your user will allow root access to it. Be aware that I believe
this is a security risk (anyone?)
P.S. replace host_name with the name of your machine
