sudo subl -- No protocol specified

[rex@localhost ~]$ sudo subl asdf
[rex@localhost ~]$ No protocol specified

(sublime_text:1287): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0
[rex@localhost ~]$

Re: sudo subl -- No protocol specified

I have no idea what subl is, but you would typically use something like gksu to run gui programs as root.

(sublime_text:1287): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0

Edit: Are you trying to run it from tty?
