I have been having an extremely annoying problem. For the record, I am relatively new at this. I've only been working with unix-based OS's for roughly two years, mostly Xubuntu and some Kali.

sux
SUX(1) User Commands SUX(1)NAME
sux - wrapper around su which will transfer your X credentials
SYNOPSIS
sux [OPTS] [-] [[username] [ARGS]]
suxterm [OPTS] [-] [username]
DESCRIPTION
sux is a wrapper around the standard su command which will transfer your X credentials to the target user.
Note, suxterm forces ARGS to be 'xterm', and will try to launch an xterminal window.
QUICK CALLING
'sux user' and 'sux - user' behave just like su but transfer $DISPLAY and the X cookies.
OPTIONS --untrusted
To generate an untrusted cookie, see 'xauth'.
--timout <period>
To generate a temporary cookie for <period> seconds, see 'xauth'.
-m,-p --preserve-environment
In this case sux will override XAUTHORITY to the so that xauth does not try to use the original user's .Xauthority file (which it
obviously could not do anyway due to access rights).
--no-cookies
Just transfer DISPLAY, not the cookies. You could do this if you have already transfered the cookies in a previous invocation of
sux.
--copy-cookies
Copy the cookies using xauth. This is the default method (and only method most of the time).
--use-xauthority
Instead of transfering the cookies, set the XAUTHORITY environment variable to access the original .Xauthority file. There's a cou-
ple caveats with this method. First, due to the access right issues it's only usable by root. But even then it may not work if the
.Xauthority file is accessed via NFS, e.g. if the home directories are on NFS (note that this is quite dangerous already since your
cookies will travel unencrypted over the network). Then, if root runs commands like xauth add/remove, the .Xauthority's ownership
will belong to him. This will leave the original user in trouble as he will no longer be able to access X! So only use this option
with great care. Finally, this method does not work if you also want to use '--untrusted' or '--timeout'.
--display
specify which display to use (in case of having more than one available).
