and yes this is not on fedora:)

This happens when i try to use ssh remote terminal and open a window

Does this happens to you when X is loaded?

I ask you because that error is common when
you try to open a xterm terminal from a tty.

Try loading your WM or DM. I think on Fedora
you hit F2 and then you can run xterm.
