Hello, I am running FreeBSD 5.4 with the Fluxbox window manager. I have
installed a MySQL GUI but I cannot run it as root:
(mysql-administrator-bin:814): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:
I logged in locally as a non-privileged user (who can open the program)
and su'd to root. I then set my DISPLAY variable:
# DISPLAY=LOCALHOST:0.0
Here are the programs (mysql-administrator calls mysql-administrator-bin):
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 546B Feb 8 03:10
/usr/X11R6/bin/mysql-administrator
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 2.3M Feb 8 03:10
/usr/X11R6/bin/mysql-administrator-bin
What should I do?
