I am trying to open user settings to unlock the user's ability to edit their user settings
When I try to open the Gnome control center with my root account I get the following error


root@penguin:~# XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=GNOME gnome-control-center

Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused

Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused



(gnome-control-center:7565): Gtk-WARNING **: 09:54:42.877: cannot open display: 

root@penguin:~#

Update: after setting the display to :0 i now get


root@penguin:~# XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=GNOME gnome-control-center No protocol specified Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused No protocol specified Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused
Solved thank you to all the people who helped

I figured it out It was a problem with the host permissions execute xhost + to allow access from all hosts


aidensnyder@penguin:~$ xhost

access control enabled, only authorized clients can connect

aidensnyder@penguin:~$ xhost +

access control disabled, clients can connect from any host

aidensnyder@penguin:~$
