Re: [expert] $DIPLAY not set?
Your $DISPLAY environment variable is not set. I don't remember the syntax off-hand, but start researching environment variables and the 'export' command in your .bashrc file.

Isn't the .bashrc file in the individual home folder? I can't even get to the gui login screen, though I can login at the prompt. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Dave Sent: Monday, November 20, 2000 8:31 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [expert] $DIPLAY not set?

Re: [expert] $DIPLAY not set?
Are you running Aurora for the standard Mandrake graphical bootup? If so, you need to edit /etc/rc.d/rc, and make sure there is a line that looks like this: export DISPLAY=:1 about 1/4 of the way down the file, under the comment/heading # Start Aurora output Actually, to give you the whole context: # Start Aurora output exec 30 exec 41 exec 52 if [ -n "$aurora" ] /sbin/Monitor query ; then /usr/bin/chvt 12 export DISPLAY=:1 exec /etc/aurora/output exec /etc/aurora/input exec 21 ...(etc.) Hope this helps. I am running Mandrake 7.2, I dodn't catch if you were running the same version or not. If not, the code may be a little bit different - I don't know.
