[SOLVED] I can't open any apps while connected to WiFi.

N0ahhh · 2022-07-04 03:40:47

As the title mentions, while I'm connected to WiFi I can't open anything. Browser, Terminal, Settings, nothing. I can't even log out, the button doesn't work.
I tried to open Firefox on Konsole just to see what the output would be, it was:

$ firefox
Authorization required, but no authorization protocol specified

Error: cannot open display: :0

I installed Arch very recently and I'm using KDE with LightDM, this is getting very annoying and I can't figure out what the problem would be, I tried looking for solutions online but nothing worked.

So... are you using Kali and not Arch? Ask on Kali Forums

Omg sorry I keep saying Kali instead of Arch, no I'm using Arch, I just mess up the names everytime

I had several reports about Kali, but I will take your assertion at face value. I hope I am not disappointed in the future.

Fix your hostname.

N0ahhh · 2022-07-04 04:30:53

You mean like aligning it?
