    awkward connection refused errors

    I ran:
    sudo -s -H
    glxgears
    It resulted in:
    Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
    Xlib: No protocol specified

    Error: couldn't open display :0.0

    It's not the first time this error appears, It's happened when i tried to edit sources.list with kile and it only happens when I am SuperUser. I have just made fromubuntutokubuntu switch. Any idea of what the problem is?

    You don't need to be 'root' in order to run/check glxgears. Just open a console and type glxgears.

      I know that. What I need is a workaround to this kind of errors.

        Here's the 'problem' as you call it. When you are running as 'root,' you (root) do not have access to window :0.0 (the tty that X is running in when the system boots). This is how the system is configured. So, it isn't a *problem* and as far as I know, there is no workaround to it.
