I have decided to upgrade to windows 11 because after reading up on it, I have seen that WSL2 on windows 11 has this X server dealt with already, so no need to mess around with xming etc.Īfter upgrading to windows 11 and updating WSL2, I have been able to use gedit successfully with a graphical interface. I assume this means the X11 forwarding is not working correctly? but I am not sure what to do to fix it. kaarchlinux pstree -uT systemdNetworkManager accounts-daemon alacritty(ka)zshnvimnode alacritty(ka)zshpstree dbus-daemon(dbus) lightdmXorg lightdmawesome(ka) lvmetad polkitd(polkitd) rtkit-daemon(rtkit) systemd(ka)(sd-pam) at-spi-bus. I have tried changing the display using all of the following independently: export DISPLAY=0.0Įxport DISPLAY=$(grep nameserver /etc/nf | awk ''):0.0Īnd I have just opted to disable the access control setting on vcxsrv, now when I run xeyes I get the following error: XIO: fatal IO error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on X server 'IP:0.0'Īfter 171 requests (171 known processed) with 0 events remaining.

You shouldn't need to run any corresponding xhost. The -w flag (equivalent to -su-mode) makes gksu (which is a frontend for both sudo and su) use su instead of sudo. 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. If you don't have the power to run programs as another user with sudo but you can su to bar, then this is the easiest way: gksu -w -u bar gedit. sudo nautilus No protocol specified cannot open display: Run 'nautilus -help' to see a full. so i say well great then ill just go ahead and edit the graphical way by navigating through natulius.

X11 uses the Xauth protocol to authenticate connecting clients. sudo gedit /etc/X11/nf No protocol specified cannot open display: Run 'gedit -help' to see a full list of available command line options. I have Ubuntu 20.04.3 with X11 installed but am getting the following issue when I try to test with xeyes (the same happens with any other graphical application I use). Its not only gedit that is going to fail but actually all programs that use the X11 protocol to talk to the graphics server. rootarvind-Inspiron-1440: gedit info.txt No protocol specified (gedit:4700): Gtk-WARNING : cannot open display: :0.0 After doing some search I found the following reason: X authentication is based on cookies - secret little pieces of random data that only you and the X server know.

I am using Debian Buster and always log in with the system default (Xorg).

You have a multi user system where many users can login, either local or remote, in a GUI session. I have tried running the following based on suggestions to no avail: export DISPLAY=:0 For KDE it’s kdesu so running gedit like this will most likely be successful : gnomesu gedit /usr/bin/deadbeef. This happens with any user, not just root.
