I have a remote session via ssh/vncviewer and I'm logged in and working.
I have opened a terminal and am trying to start the Fedora Directory
Server console (not that this should matter)...
and thus I am typing (as root)...
./startconsole -x nologo -u admin -a MYHOSTNAME:PORT# &
and it fails to launch and returns the following error...
Xlib: connection to "MYHOSTNAME:1.0" refused by server
Xlib: no protocol specified
Console: can't connect to X11 window server using 'MYHOSTNAME:1.0' as
the value of the DISPLAY variable
and of course it then exits
I have done this elsewhere - the difference I think is that I originally
installed this system without any X stuff but have since added it and am
launching this from a GNOME session (so I know X is working).
Clues?
