I'm seeing things that work fine under Fedora 10 not work under Fedora 11.
Here is the latest example.
If connected via vnc, I can run nmapfe as a regular user, but get the
limitation message about being non-root.
If I use su and then run the program the following occurs.
No protocol specified
File "/usr/bin/nmapfe", line 102, in <module>
import zenmapGUI.App
File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/zenmapGUI/App.py", line 34, in
<module>
import gtk
File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py", line 79, in
<module>
_init()
File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py", line 67, in
_init
_gtk.init_check()
No protocol specified
Error in sys.excepthook:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/nmapfe", line 47, in excepthook

_init()
File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py", line 67, in

_gtk.init_check()
RuntimeError: could not open display
Original exception was:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/nmapfe", line 102, in <module>
import zenmapGUI.App
File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/zenmapGUI/App.py", line 34, in
<module>
import gtk
File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py", line 79, in
<module>
_init()
File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py", line 67, in
_init
_gtk.init_check()
RuntimeError: could not open display
Since it can run as a regular user, is this a policykit or other error.
Works fine in Fedora 10 and before.
