  • Installing Protection! as "root" This note applies if you are installing Protection! as a super-user through the "su" command or a different user from the one who started the X server process.

XWindows has security restrictions that can cause a GUI application to fail if running the application as a different user than the one logged in. One such case is when you open a terminal window and use the "su" command to become "root". The error message issued is usually 'Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server'. This is a security feature, not a bug. To avoid this problem, open a terminal window and type the following commands:

xhost +localhost

export DISPLAY=yourmachinename:0.0

This command notifies XWindows that any user on your machine is authorized to use your display. After the installation you can run the command:

xhost -localhost

to reset the value to the default.

  • Insufficient available disk space reported with NFS volumes mounted
    If you have any NFS volumes mounted, the installation may fail with an error reporting insufficient available disk space. If you encounter this error and are certain that you have enough disk space available for installation, disable NFS before installing Protection! , then re-enable it after the installation has successfully completed.
  • The installation program appears to hang during exit
    Under some circumstances, it may take a long time for the installation program to exit and close after completion. Do not forcibly exit the program; it will eventually close down successfully.

Uninstalling Protection!

To uninstall, do one of the following:

  • Run the following from the directory where you installed Protection! : Uninstall_Protection\Uninstall Protection

This command notifies XWindows that any user on your machine is authorized to use your display. After the installation you can run the command:

xhost -localhost

to reset the value to the default.

Another possible side effect of this is that you will get an icon for Protection! installed on your desktop that does not work when selected. To fix this:

  1. Log back in as root using the "su" command.
  2. Copy the link created for the icon to your local desktop.
