Thanks Alexandre ! I followed the other suggestion to log as "root" in the machine, then did "xhost my.ip.numer" , then log out, and login as normal user (davila)... my "nedit" and "synaptic" are working fine with the normal user (davila) I logged into the machine, now, after following your suggestions (Xhost + tryps and setting DISPLAY) and switching to the user oracle with "su - oracle", the user "oracle" cannot load "nedit", the ".xsession-errors" file of the "oracle"user is: [oracle@tryps oracle]$ more .xsession-errors /etc/X11/gdm/PreSession/Default: Registering your session with wtmp and utmp /etc/X11/gdm/PreSession/Default: running: /usr/bin/X11/sessreg -a -w /var/log/wtmp -u /var/run/utmp -x "/var/gdm/:0.Xservers" -h "" -l ":0" "oracle" (gnome-session:3931): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: Now what ? Sorry for this newbie questions, but I confess I am a bit confused with this configuration since I dont understand in what moment I got the problem.. Thanks for the help.
