Yes, you are right, X was unavailable because of this: With the coming 14.04 release sux (wrapper around su which will transfer your X credentials) is no longer included in Ubuntu. (I think it is being removed because it is being pulled from Debian, because of no maintenance of the original code.) source http://askubuntu.com/questions/428284/what-is-a-good-alternative-to-the-sux-command where an alternative to using the obsoleted sux is given. The problem is then solved, thanks.
