I'm Tumbleweed, but like this;
$ export DISPLAY=$(ip address | grep “4” | head -1 | awk '{print $NF}' | awk 'sub(/\r$/,"")'):0
$ echo $DISPLAY :0 OK, same here - marc@marcslaptop:~> export DISPLAY=$(ip address | grep “4” | head -1 | awk '{print $NF}' | awk 'sub(/\r$/,"")'):0 marc@marcslaptop:~> echo $DISPLAY :0
$ export DISPLAY= $ echo $DISPLAY
then,
$ export DISPLAY=$(ip address | grep “net” | head -1 | awk '{print $NF}' | awk 'sub(/\r$/,"")'):0
$ echo $DISPALY :0
Ditto - marc@marcslaptop:~> export DISPLAY=$(ip address | grep “net” | head -1 | awk '{print $NF}' | awk 'sub(/\r$/,"")'):0 marc@marcslaptop:~> echo $DISPLAY :0
I think the problem is around the X server?
What the result of;
1. $ ps -ef | grep Xorg marc@marcslaptop:~> ps -ef | grep Xorg marc 23325 29033 0 21:59 pts/2 00:00:00 grep --color=auto Xorg
Do you expect a process to be running with Xorg as part of it's name? None of my other systems, either 15.4 or 15.5 have such a process.
and
2. $ ls -l /tmp/.X11-unix
marc@marcslaptop:~> ls -l /tmp/.X11-unix total 0 srwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Aug 19 09:28 X0 srwxr-xr-x 1 marc users 0 Aug 19 09:28 X1
Test 2 might return nil though....
No, Test 2 did return something, but I don't grok what it means... Thanks so much for staying with me and trying to help, I really do appreciate it! Marc...
