set DISPLAY variable
Dunno if this fits into this forum.
Well, as I was browsing on the Inet, I found that ximiandotcom offered a free version of their Desktop 2.0 for SuSE 9.0 users.So I checked how to install it, and the instructions told me to simply type wget -q -O - http:(notallowedtopostaurlyet) |sh into a shell as the superuser.Well all the terminal gave me was this: Quote:

Like this:
export DISPLAY=<your.own.ip>:0.0 Type this in the console you are going to run the ximian thingie. |
the 192.168.2.xx thing or my "real" ip?
I tried both but neither worked, what could I have done wrong? Still thanks for your help though! |
It should be your LAN IP (the 192.168.2.xx you mention).
I guess you have started an (x)term, became root and try to start the ximian program. After becomming root, in that (x)term, you should do the export DISPLAY=192.168.2.xx:0.0. The xhost +192.168.2.xx should be done by the (regular) user that started the window manager. Now you should be able to start the ximian program (as root, from the (x)term). Hope this helps. |
Thx for the help!Worked, but I guess it's not free after all.... >_<
