Hi All,
I used to su gedit all the time to make any changes to files that
required me to be root. I used to get this warning also
(gedit:3880): GnomeUI-WARNING **: While connecting to session manager:
Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols
specified are supported and host-based authentication failed.
but it would still work. Now it stopped working. Gedit just freezes. I
have done many things since last use, so I would not have a clue how
to fix this. I am using Fedora6 64bit. Any suggestions would be
greatly appreciated (exept for , "use vi").
Many Thanks,
George Hare
Just change your command line a bit.
sudo gedit file.name
You are dealing with permissions to open windows on your X windows
display. The root account does not, and should not, have permissions to
open a window on your display.
sudo is your friend. Logs of super user activity can be priceless. :)
