I have installed /usr/local/stata/xstata-mp as root, permissions 755.
When I try to run this program from a non-root account via the terminal, I get:
user@host ~ % /usr/local/stata/xstata-mp
(xstata-mp:8030): Gtk-WARNING **: 10:09:24.384: cannot open display: 0
"That's odd," I think, I just know I set DISPLAY=0 in my .zshrc, "Well, maybe I need to explicitly do so when running this command?" So I try:
user@host ~ % DISPLAY=0 /usr/local/stata/stata-mp
(xstata-mp:8201): Gtk-WARNING **: 10:13:28.638: cannot open display: 0
Edit: per @steeldriver 's comment I have also tried DISPLAY=:0
I have a gander around, and find Why don't gksu/gksudo or launching a graphical application with sudo work with Wayland? which seems promising (although I am not using Wayland, I am on Ubuntu 18.10 and Wayland remains installed). I try the below command as user@host, and as su in an administrative account:
user@host ~ % xhost -si:localuser:root
xhost: unable to open display "0"
I get desperate, and try:
user@host ~ % DISPLAY=0 xhost -si:localuser:root
xhost: unable to open display "0"
I try other display numbers all to no avail. I think "I am a newb, maybe localhost really means [LOCAL USER] and try with the permutations mentioned above.
user@host ~ % xhost -si:user:root
xhost: unable to open display "0"
It turns out I am a newb, but that didn't help. :)
How can I make the xhost magic happen so that Gtk doesn't throw a fit and I can just launch my application (as user@host)?
