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
Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 keysystem-config-nfs þarfnast keyrandi X þjóns.
[root@flokipa ~]# init 3

root@flokipa ~]# system-config-samba
Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 keysystem-config-samba requires a currently running X server.

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

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%]
	package gdm-1:2.26.0-1.fc11.x86_64 (which is newer than gdm-1:2.25.2-20.fc11.x86_64) is already installed
[root@localhost leigh]#

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.
