Setting the DISPLAY variable in linux
Dears,
while trying to open system-config-bind from the shell on a server running on runlevel 3 , i got the below error message. ERROR: Unable to initialize graphical environment. Most likely cause of failure is that the tool was not run using a graphical environment. Please either start your graphical user interface or set your DISPLAY variable. Does any one have details steps of how to configure the the DISPLAY variable,as i will not be able to bring the server to runlevel 5, thanks. Wael |
Are you saying that you are trying to run an X application on the console of a machine that is not running X? If so, that won't work.
You either need to start X or perhaps instead of doing this on the console, ssh from a machine that has X running. Also you are making references to runlevels 3 and 5, are we to assume from this that you are running a redhat based distro and the 3 is single user mode and 5 is multiuser with X? Evo2. |
