xclock only running as root

[Andre Thompson_1]

Hi Everyone

I finally got xclock running from my desktop using xlivecd (http://xlivecd.indiana.edu)

However, when I log on as another user, I cannot get xclock to run - it just hangs until I hit control-C.

Can anyone tell me what I need to do at this point to get xclock to run as another user other than root?

Thanks.

Regards

I'm thinking you need to do a xhost +username

Also, is your DISPLAY set?

type xclock.
ll xclock

Are perms correct? All user at must have read and execute.

I had to run the xlivecd utility as the user that I want to fire xclock from instead of root.
