liquidzoo Posted July 16, 2003 Report Share Posted July 16, 2003 Sounds like something is up with X. Are you running this from a command prompt or from within X? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iphitus Posted July 16, 2003 Report Share Posted July 16, 2003 This one is common with Mandy 9.1. I've had it. Simply logout and restart the X server (control alt backspace) And it won't happen till next time you start your machine. It's happened to me too. And a lot of other people I am yet to try this myself but there might be an update for this. So check out updates or download tyme's Mandy 9.1 update ISO. It's on the downloads somewhere.

bvc Posted July 16, 2003 Report Share Posted July 16, 2003 If this is netconf in linuxconf install linuxconf-gnome (I think it's called). NOTE:Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0.0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slagathor Posted July 17, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2003 It is the Xfree 4.2.1 hardware acclerated thats giving me problems. I reinstalled with the 3.6.1, I think, and didnt have any problems running netconf. I will do it with the configs, I was just being lazy anywase, to many years of Windows and it's wizards have made Slagathor a lazy boy....... :? :shock: Thanks for the time guys......... P.S. It is Mandrake 9.0, maybe I should give 9.1 a go....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranger Posted July 20, 2003 Report Share Posted July 20, 2003 I decided to do a fresh install lastnight.Now I get this when I try to run netconf [root@ziggy ziggy]# netconf Error message from remadmin :Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server I dont remember this happening before.......... Any ideas what I am missing????? You probably changed your hostname, and didn't log out and back in, so X didn't know who it should allow connections from. I tested it on 9.1 with XFree86-4.3 (not that I think X version makes a difference) with no problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gowator Posted July 21, 2003 Report Share Posted July 21, 2003 This is just your Xpermisssions If you login from xdm/kde/mdkdm/gdm your user owns the x display. By default only that user can start an app on the X display. If you login manually or use the autologin then that user owns the display. If you try and start an app as another user (root) then root doesnt have permissions. The quickest solution is: Open a new terminal with the user owning the desctop (ie from the menu) type xhost + then su - <newuser> ******** Run command. Anyway that will work but its insecure ... you should rean man xhost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iphitus Posted July 21, 2003 Report Share Posted July 21, 2003 Have you tried my suggesion, restarting X when it This has been a pretty common problem with mandrake 9.1 and restarting X has always worked for me. Just Ctrl+Alt+Backspace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slagathor Posted July 21, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2003 I tryed that and it still didnt work, The only time I got it to work is when I had the 3.6.1 non hardware acclerated XFree installed...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gowator Posted July 21, 2003 Report Share Posted July 21, 2003 Are you using the autologin ? Are you starting netconf from the command line or menu ? Which user are you logged in as ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
