Description Ladislav Michnovic 2005-09-07 16:14:13 UTC

I used update instead of install, but this is probably not important, from beta
3 to beta 4 plus and when I run Firefox it writes:
DISPLAY empty or unusable. 
DISPLAY=:0.0
After exporting DISPLAY=localhost:0.0 it writes:
 Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:. 
Other aplications like Mozilla, OOo,... are without problems.
Attaching strace.

strace output

Well what is the value of DISPLAY in your environment?  Are you starting firefox
from the command line?

Comment 3 Ladislav Michnovic 2005-09-07 17:35:07 UTC

As I wrote:
echo $DISPLAY
DISPLAY=:0.0

I was wondering that Firefox doesn't starts, so I ran it from commandline and it
wrote to xterm:
DISPLAY empty or unusable. 
DISPLAY=:0.0
This is default also in previous betas. Exporting DISPLAY=localhost:0.0 was
probably wrong, so "Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:" is IMHO correct
behavior. So the attached strace is probalbly useless, I'll attach a new one.

Ignore the first one.
