I am a complete newbie to Wine. I am aware of the wonderful things OTHER
people can get it to do as far as running MS apps, but I have never had
such sucess.
The last attempt to run "winesetup" as root was met with the
following:
debian:/home/tilleyrw# whoami
root
debian:/home/tilleyrw# winesetup
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server
Application initialization failed: couldn't connect to display
":0"
Error in startup script: invalid command name "wm"
while executing
"wm geometry $pTopLevel 600x400"
while constructing object "::ObjScrFileLoc" in
::CBaseScr::constructor
(body line 15)
invoked from within
"CBaseScr::constructor $apObjBase"
while constructing object "::ObjScrFileLoc" in
::CScrFileLoc::constructor (body line 1)
invoked from within
"CScrFileLoc ObjScrFileLoc ObjBase"
(procedure "BuildScrTree" line 2)
invoked from within
"BuildScrTree"
invoked from within
"CBase ObjBase [BuildScrTree]"
(file "Main.itcl" line 1426)
debian:/home/tilleyrw#
I am using Debian and my system is updated nightly. Has something broken
in the latest builds? I've used winesetup before and it is a very nice
interface to the complicated wine.conf file.
Any info is most appreciated.

Can you get other X apps to connect to the X server as root? If you want to get root to connect for X apps, you might want to try "xhost +localhost". -- Matthew Cline | Suppose you were an idiot.

Wine is an X application, subject to the same X rules as any other X application. If root _has_ to run wine for this (I don't know winesetup, I was building wine before any of the convenience and package tools were developed, and it still works for me), (tilleyrw should exit from X) and root should start X itself (or log in itself, if you use GUI login). That is the simplest way I know. Otherwise, have a nice long recursive read of man xauth. The rest is probably just fallout from the first failure.> debian:/home/tilleyrw# > > I am using Debian and my system is updated nightly. Has something broken > in the latest builds?

Use su - or do you run X as root (nope). If the first, try "xhost + localhost" in an xterm and then "xterm -display :0" in the su'ed xterm.
