    hi,
    in some distro ( like unbutu : debian-like), when I
    use the su - from the normal user to run an
    administartor command , I get cannot open display: 0.0
    I give the access with xhost +,( in the normal user )
    but the problem remains
    this is an example:

     as a normal login user:

    bela@inst177:~ $ xhost +
    access control disabled, clients can connect from any
    host
    bela@inst177:~ $

    as a root now

    bela@inst177:~ $ su -
    Password:
    root@inst177:~ #
    /usr/local/mozilla-installer/mozilla-installer

    Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: 0.0
    root@inst177:~ #

    best regards
    bela
