But synaptic is gtk. If anyone got a Trinity app running as root with
sux I would really like to know. (I don't/won't use sudo, it's disabled)
I read, can't remember where, it's better to put this in your ~/bashrc
than use xhost + :
#maybe this fixes x for root
export XAUTHORITY=$HOME/.Xauthority
It works for non-trinity (gtk)
yes, thanks! that worked TOO. Now su & sux both allow me to run synaptic.
