unetbootin with ubuntu 17.10

Error message when trying to run unetbootin after install:
No protocol specified
unetbootin: cannot connect to X server :0


The following worked for me to resolve the issue:
xhost local:root
     non-network local connections being added to access control list
sudo QT_X11_NO_MITSHM=1 /usr/bin/unetbootin
