Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Hey,

Just finished installing MythTV on a fresh
installation of RedHat 8.0
Installed as directed by the documentation.
When I attempt to start mythtv with either the
command "mythtv or mythfrontend" I get the following
errors:

[root@localhost mythtv]# mythtv
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified

mythtv: cannot connect to X server :0.0


If anyone can help that'd be great!

Cheers,

Owen

Your X is not setup to accept connections from other users (this is a
good thing)

run Myth as the user you logged into X with.

:D

There is only one user on the machine, root.
I haven't even gotten around to something as trivial as that yet.
(Machine is behind a NAT, soecurity is not a huge concern ATM).

Hey,

Took your suggestion. I added a user to the system, started X with that
user, and I'm one step closer. :>

Thx!

Owen
