Re: [Vectorlinux-devel] Some Feedback about SOHO

[uel a. <ue...@gm...>]

I think its a good Idea, But I have that in my .bashrc and it doesnt help m=
e
:(
I even get this in a new terminal
non-network local connections being added to access control list
[uel@vector~]$ su -
Password:
[root@vector~]# firefox

(firefox-bin:18773): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:
[root@vector~]# exit
logout

firefox works if i just use "su" but kate and kwrite don't. weird
I know I dont get roots path without the - but I thouht I had the users?


[uel@vector~]$ su
Password:
[root@vector/home/uel]# firefox
[root@vector/home/uel]# kate
bash: kate: command not found
[root@vector/home/uel]# kwrite
bash: kwrite: command not found
[root@vector/home/uel]#
