Hi Charles, Thanks for all the info, I'll try it out at server. I got no man entries for xclock and xhost and command not founds so I guess it's not installed. I'll be doing all cd burning at server anyway so I guess it's redundant to access xcdroast via telnet anyway. -----Original Message----- From: psyche-list-admin@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:psyche-list-admin@xxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Charles Curley Sent: Tuesday, October 07, 2003 2:16 PM To: psyche-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: cannot open display:" error on xcdroast, no man entry On Tue, Oct 07, 2003 at 12:34:05PM -0400, help@xxxxxxxxxxx wrote: > Hi, > > I installed xcdroast and tried opening xcdroast during a telnet session, got > an "Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:" error. Sounds like an X display permissions issue. I conjecture from your other message about using telnet that you are trying this over telnet. You need to run xhost on your own system first. "man xhost". To verify valid X connections over the X protocol or via SSH tunneling (preferred), try xclock first. > > I also did a man xcdroast and there is no manual entry. Any hints as to > what I'm doing wrong? That last question is wide open. I shall restrain myself :-) There is no man page for xcdroast. If there was one, it probably wouldn't explain the above issue. -- Charles Curley /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign Looking for fine software \ / Respect for open standards and/or writing?
