export XAUTHORITY=/home/user/.Xauthority There are some security issues here tough: man xauth
I create /home/user/.Xauthority file by tipping xauth and then generate :0.0

now I got this message: Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key cannot open display:
did I do any step forward?
Nope - you need to use the correct file generated by the running X secession. Note, this is taken care of automaticly for you when you run "su -" in a terminal in the running X secession. It is also taken care of by ssh when you used ssh -Y to connect to a remote box from an xterm on your machine. Where you run into problems is when you log in at the cli as root, and then try and run a program that requires an X display, or when you ssh to another machine without X forwarding enabled.
Oh yes, chances are, the correct cookie file is in the /tmp directory somewhere.
