This worked because you already had a graphical session started on DISPLAY :0.0.

"export" works in any shell script but is not system-wide; it exports the given variable only to child processes. There is no "way up"; as soon as an init script is completed its environment variables die. > How can I successfully run nm-applet without doing an "export"? nm-applet is meant to be started from within a graphical session (where DISPLAY is already defined and exported for you). Run nm-applet from there. ___ NetworkManager-list mailing list NetworkManager-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
failed to start nm-applet
Hi, I upgraded my old version of NM(svnr2984) to 0.7.1 version on my ARM platform. However I am facing couple of issues - 1. nm-applet does not start on its own during system boot-up. NetworkManager runs successfully. 2. When I try to run "nm-applet --sm-disable" on console, I got "(nm-applet:1201): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:" "export DISPLAY=':0.0'" helped me got rid of this problem and nm-applet ran fine thereafter. However I can not export the above from any init script that runs before "K28NetworkManager". Meaning export does not work during boot-up init scripts. How can I successfully run nm-applet without doing an "export"? Could anybody share some pointers on this? Thanks for your time.
