Subject: [Plug] no display name and no $DISPLAY environment variable
Date: Mon, 6 Sep 1999 14:11:02 -0700 (MST)
Ok I know this has to do with the display settings, I just dont know where
to look for it. This isthe situation. When I am in X on my local
machine, and logged in as someone, I can use the X applications with no
problems. But when I su or change to another user in a TERM I get the
following error:
Application initialization failed: no display name and no $DISPLAY
environment variable
I dont know whereto look to fix this, nor do I have a clue what to set as
the display envvironment, I would like to still be able to run X programs
on remote hosts too..
Thanks
