I gave up on trying to get direct access as a different user to the display, sometimes it would work, sometimes it wouldn't work, and I could never track down why. I always use ssh with X forwarding now to run apps as a different user. Something like this: ssh -l auser -X localhost firefox & might work. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/message/JQZK4GTA5EQVD5GQ7BGD4ZFE4BSQ2D4F/
