said Gene Heskett: | Re the sudo -E: | from wheezy thru jessie and stretch its been required since X would not | allow root to use it without it, but I just went to a buster machine and | I'll be dipped, it worked without the -E on a buster/xfce4 install. What happens if you do $ xhost + localhost before you execute your sudo command? here it gives root access to x in a user terminal, so you can type your command in the terminal and get a nice little session running x as root. -- dep Pictures: http://www.ipernity.com/doc/depscribe/album Column: https://ofb.biz/author/dep/ ____________________________________________________ tde-users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Web mail archive available at https://mail.trinitydesktop.org/mailman3/hyperkitty/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
