Description Mihnea Istinie 2005-09-05 09:19:38 UTC 
I updated my system to Beta2, than Beta3, than Beta4. 
With beta 4 I encountered some problems when trying to start thunderbird or 
firefox, using my regular nis user (and preferences, etc., read as "mistinie") 
 
(see #115269) 
It worked fine with Beta3. 
If you start from the menu nothing happens, starting from the bash shows why: 
 
mistinie@arda:~> firefox 
DISPLAY empty or unusable 
DISPLAY=:0 
 
(however, I can start xterm,gimp or whatever else)
