I am running FreeBSD 12.0p10. Using chroot, I am trying to run a browser (palemoon) located in /opt/devuan, which contains a Devuan Linux distribution installed with 'debootstrap'. My objective is for the browser to use the host's (FreeBSD) X server, not the Devuan one. I've added my FreeBSD user name as a Devuan user, home in /opt/devuan/home. Now I try things like sudo chroot -u <me> /opt/devuan home/palemoon/palemoon but I cannot get past the error Error: cannot open display: :0.0 Running sudo chroot -u <me> /opt/devuan home/palemoon/palemoon --help works, and produces the expected text output. I've tried things like "xhost +" and I've searched lots of mailing lists, but I don't see any answer. Thanks for your help.
