while trying gvim command from the root user it will open that graphical with vim editor,But when we try non-root user I can't open the gvim editor.
#gvim filename.txt
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified
E233: cannot open displayXlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified
PROBLEM
user try gvim command it will try to access X (Graphical) server.But That connection is refused by server
SOLUTION
Add the standard user ( non root user) to the xhost server
# xhost
access control enabled, only authorized clients can connect
SI:localuser:root
Default the gvim editor is enable only for the root user. To enable the non root user.
standard user. we have to run the following command.
xhost +local:username
#xhost +local:user2
Then try it gvim graphical vim editor it will open for the standard user.
