system-config-nfs - Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1

[flokip]

I can not run any system-config.
There is always Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1

root@flokipa ~]# system-config-nfs

Have you found a solution yet or filed a bug report ?

Edit:

I found your report.

I have a similar problem since the last update, gedit gives a MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE error when run as su -


I asked for help, this should explain it


'su -' will have reset your environment, so you don't have access to the magic cookies which authorise you to talk to the X server
you shouldn't be using graphical editors as root. Use nano or 'emacs -nw' or vi
having said that, it does actually work after 'su -' for me, not that I'd ever actually want to use it that way.
in a _normal_ terminal, run 'xauth list $DISPLAY'
and then do it again as root after 'su -'



Run the app's as a normal user, apps like system-config-httpd will prompt you for the root password

The gdm package is too old :(


[root@localhost leigh]# rpm -Uvh '/home/leigh/Download/gdm-2.25.2-20.fc11.x86_64.rpm'
Preparing... ########################################### [100%]

Now I yumex is ok. ( in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=490357)
yumex-2.0.5-6.fc11.noarch

And the problem with system-config and Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1
is not showning up.
