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. :) Thanks for the fix Phil -- G. Hare
