Thanks Alexandre !
I followed the other suggestion to log as "root" in the machine, then did
"xhost my.ip.numer" , then log out, and login as normal user (davila)...
my "nedit" and "synaptic" are working fine with the normal user (davila) I
logged into the machine, now, after following your suggestions (Xhost +
tryps and setting DISPLAY) and switching to the user oracle with "su -
oracle", the user "oracle" cannot load "nedit", the ".xsession-errors"
file of the "oracle"user is:
[oracle at tryps oracle]$ more .xsession-errors
/etc/X11/gdm/PreSession/Default: Registering your session with wtmp and
utmp
/etc/X11/gdm/PreSession/Default: running: /usr/bin/X11/sessreg -a -w
/var/log/wtmp -u /var/run/utmp -x "/var/gdm/:0.Xservers" -h "" -l ":0"
"oracle"
(gnome-session:3931): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:
Now what ?
Sorry for this newbie questions, but I confess I am a bit confused with
this configuration since I dont understand in what moment I got the
problem..
Thanks for the help.
