I had a similar problem and I believe setting the display variable fixed it. DISPLAY=111.222.333.444:0 or possibly export DISPLAY=111.222.333.444:0 Substitute your ip address in place of 111.222.333.444. If you are on a local network, substitute the network address, LIKE 192.168.0.2:0 The word DISPLAY is an environment variable and must be in all caps. The colon zero after the ip refers to the first monitor screen on that machine. _______________________________________________ Blinux-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
