Permissions: xhost +

[Joel Hammer]

Grr.....

Just to pass on a little hint.

I run in root on lindows but read mail as a regular user.

I have set up a mailcap like this:

text/html;         /usr/bin/mozilla -remote 'openFile (%s,new-tab)' 1>/dev/null 2>&1  || /usr/bin/mozilla %s

This allows me to read html attachments with mutt.

After I upgraded to the newer version of lindows,
this stopped working. The really annoying part was
mozilla from the command line just failed with no error
messages, anywhere. I guess all the intermediate programs
involved must dump std err to /dev/null. This is hard
to troubleshoot.

Of course it was permissions, but where I
thought? mozilla? mcop? Some intermediate programs?

The answer was the xserver.

xhost + solved the problem.

Grr....

There must be a song here. How about Aggravation sung to
the tune of Anticipation?
