Xterm. How do I make it work?
When I run xterm at a terminal, I always get
xterm Xt error: Can't open display: %s Some troubleshooting manual says I should set the DISPLAY environment variable, or use -display flag. What should I set DISPLAY of -flag to? Thanks! |

Are you trying to do this through ssh I assume? If so try using the -X option when you start up ssh.

Hi,
Try this: export DISPLAY=:0.0 and then run: xterm & - ThunderBall |

If you're trying to run xterm through ssh, DON'T do the export!
If you're trying to run it from your local box, this may seem like a silly question, but you are connected to an X server at the time, aren't you (i.e. you ran startx). |
