xsetroot: cannot open display

punt · 03-04-2003, 12:34 AM

anyone know why i'd get this error:

# startkde
rm: cannot remove `.' or `..'
xsetroot: unable to open display ''
xset: unable to open display ""
xset: unable to open display ""
xset: unable to open display ""

i've exported my display to localhost, 127.0.0.1, and my ip, all to no avail....

this is quite frustrating. gnome works. kde doesn't... all users are affected

Hi Punt,

When i start kde i got the same error.
Did you find anything about it ?
I tried do remove Xfree and kde, but i cannot start kde yet.

Any clue ? ??

Thanks .....
