mdemers883 Posted February 8, 2004 Report Share Posted February 8, 2004 I reinstalled SuSE 9.0 a few days ago, this time I installed both the KDE and GNOME packages. Today was the first day that I tried logging in with GNOME, everything appeared to be fine untill I tried logging into yast via gui. So I then proceeded to try to get into yast via termial. Here is what happened: mark@d-216-195-130-149:~> su root Password: d-216-195-130-149:/home/Mark # yast2 Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: No protocol specified y2controlcenter: cannot connect to X server :0.0 d-216-195-130-149:/home/Mark # By the message I'm assuming that it has something to do with X, but I'm not sure why the problem is occuring or how to fix it due to my lack of experience with linux. Any help you guys could give would be appreciated. Thanks mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jlc Posted February 10, 2004 Report Share Posted February 10, 2004 Well, for now just go through the menu and look for yast2 and just fire it up that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdemers883 Posted February 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2004 Well, for now just go through the menu and look for yast2 and just fire it up that way. that's how I discovered the problem, I can't access it via the menu that's why I tried it via terminal and it stil didn't work. I have no clue what is going on with it. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlc Posted February 10, 2004 Report Share Posted February 10, 2004 You did try "sux" instead of "su" right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bam Posted March 3, 2004 Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 use "sux -" instead of "sux". I had the same problem when I switched to SuSE...now it's 2nd nature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
