When I am running under X, linuxconf doesn't want to start properly. I have the following error message: (root@Fury:~)# linuxconf Message d'erreur de remadmin : Message d'erreur de remadmin :Gdk-WARNING **: locale not supported by C library Message d'erreur de remadmin :Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Message d'erreur de remadmin :Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server Message d'erreur de remadmin : Message d'erreur de remadmin :Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0 remadmin (GUI) sortie anormale (root@Fury:~) My X server is XFCom_i740 ( Precision Insight ). Thank for helping me !!!
If this problem is still occurring for you, please tell me how you are starting X: using xdm, gdm, or kdm? startx? xinit? Are you logging in as root or are you using su? If you are using su, are you using "su" or "su -"? Thanks.
I also had this problem. It turned out to be a networking problem. It appears that the hostname had gotten changed to that given to the primary interface. The solution is to make sure that you have the same name for your hostname and also for your primary interface in the hosts file. If your hostname is still localhost.localdomain, but your primary interface has another name, you will get this problem. Check your hostname with hostname, and then change it to the other name to test whether this is the case for you.
sdhill is right -- thanks for pointing out the context.
