HI,
I'm new to Debian and LINUX so any help would be greatly
appreciated.
I am trying to run a simulation program on Debian. It compiles
fine (now) but whenever I try to launch the gui it tells me it can't connect to
the display and that I need to run: export
DISPLAY=<machine>:0 [or setenv--I'm in BASH so I use
export]
Running that command produces no error but also doesn't help.
I have tried using the machine name and also tried using what appeared to be the
display server name. I am not certain I used the actual display server
name--where exactly do I find it and what should it look like? (I used defaults
on everything except the computer name during install and again during
reconfiguration.)
I haven't yet discovered what man page to specify for more
information, none of the 4 books I have nor the Xfree86 or Debian site have
revealed anything useful as yet. Admitedly, I may be asking the wrong
questions.
Thanks again for any help offered,
Sivea
