Then you can try running the reconfigure again. But now when I issue # dpkg-reconfigure noflushd I get this ;Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: No protocol specified
dpkg-reconfigure: cannot connect to X server :0.0 I've also seen this kind of thing when trying to run X programs from
a console in which I've su'ed to root. Any ideas what might be going on here?
Just means your X session isn't allowing requests from any user other than the one that started the session. Very sensible really. If you do an 'xhost +' before su-ing you'll be ok.
