#NO PROTOCOL SPECIFIED GEDIT PASSWORD#

If your program insists on the -display argument, make it use the environment variable. When you login through some kind of a display manager, a MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 authentication cookie is created and written into your /.Xauthority file. X11 uses the Xauth protocol to authenticate connecting clients. gui, your script doesn't do anything useful. It's not only gedit that is going to fail but actually all programs that use the X11 protocol to talk to the graphics server. Your program probably does look up the value of the DISPLAY environment variable, because that tends to happen automatically with xlib calls. The main exception is use of screen or tmux.) Everytime I run programs like emacs or vim as root, I get this message Authorization required, but no authorization protocol specified. I'm guessing what sunnysigara said is relevant (sudden upstream break). If you were always running it in a GUI, then it's kinda strange that gedit is failing like that.

Point is, you should have a graphical desktop environment turned on before starting Gedit. (Usually, if DISPLAY has the wrong value, it's because you've been messing with it. 'System Default' points to 'Gnome on Xorg'.

If you have become used to using sudo to start GUI programs as root you may have changed the ownership of some of the files in your home which then may cause BIG problems for you and can make it impossible to login as user. The display to use is normally indicated by the DISPLAY environment variable, and that variable tends to be set correctly automatically. Re: sudo with gedit and gparted gives errors, but they work without sudo. This happens regardless of whether I am in KDE or GNOME. that kinda thing), they run fine as a normal user, but whenever i run them with sudo or in a root terminal, I get: No protocol specified (gedit:4769): Gtk-WARNING : cannot open display: :0. Even if it does, you lose the optimizations that local displays have. Hi, I have a problem whenever I try to run X applications in root (gedit etc. Going through TCP may not work depending on whether the X server accepts TCP connections. First, the local X display should be :0, not 127.0.0.1:0, because including an IP address causes the traffic to go through TCP instead of local access. This is almost certainly wrong for two reasons. echo 'hello arch forums' xclip -sel clip Authorization required, but no authorization protocol specified Error: Can't open display: :0 I tried this but it doesn't seem to work export DISPLAY'':0.0' xhost + Authorization required, but no authorization protocol specified xhost: unable to open display ':0.

(gedit:3609): Gtk-WARNING **: 12:33:16.The meaning of the option -display 127.0.0.1:0.0 depends on that gui program, but it's highly likely that it means “display on the X display 127.0.0.1:0.0”. If I run export DISPLAY=:0 as a normal user, then the normal user can run GUI programs from the command line, however whenever I try the same with root it fails with the messages: No protocol specified I have tried running the following based on suggestions to no avail: export DISPLAY=:0

You can specify options such as the server type, username, and password in a. I started Vcxsrv with the following options: Multiple Windows, Display Number: -1, Start no client, Clipboard (with Primary Selection), Native OpenGL and Disable access control. I turned off the Firewall for home networks (just for testing). This happens with any user, not just root. Edit the file with the sudo gedit command. I am trying to get GUIs working with WSL2, but nothing I tried works.
