| Post subject: | cannot connect to X server when trying to start mythtv-setup |
i must say in advance, that i am not really linux guru, so forgive me if my solution is somewhat crappy, but it seemed to work for me: the folowing problem occured on my system: after i installed konoppmyth on my computer, i wanted to get back to the setup screen that showed up to change my channel settings. i hit Ctrl+Alt+F1 to get to a shell. i loged in as root and typed #mythtv-setup i got an error message "cannot connect to X server" i tried the same with the mythtv user but i got the same message. a friend then told me i should enter #export and look for DISPLAY i did not find any DISPLAY in there so he told me i should enter the folowing: #export DISPLAY=:0.0 after i did so i could run mythtv-setup as mythtv user. NOTE: after you started mythv-setup you probably have to switch to X-Widnow manually using Alt+F7 (at least i did have to) hope this information might be useful to someone, cheers pascal |

...and if you are not willing to do this all the time, simply add Code: export DISPLAY=:0.0
to your /etc/profile file |
