My user name is ‘jim’. I normally run mythtv-setup as jim. I thought about trying to run as user ‘mythtv’ to explore an issue. So I opened a terminal and tried this:
jim at jim-xubuntu:~$ sudo su mythtv
[sudo] password for jim:
$ mythtv-setup
mysql: [Warning] Using a password on the command line interface can be insecure.
No protocol specified
xprop: unable to open display ':0.0'
No protocol specified
Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused
(zenity:5379): Gtk-WARNING **: 16:32:53.104: cannot open display: :0.0
$
Is there something that has to be setup for user mythtv to do this??
