This means;
# env | grep DISPLAY #
In my case;
1. as an user
$ env | grep DISPLAY $ DISPLAY=:0.0 as user marc I get -
marc@nova:~> env | grep DISPLAY DISPLAY=:0
2. as root
# env | grep DISPLAY # DISPLAY=:0.0 as root I get -
nova:/home/marc # env | grep DISPLAY DISPLAY=:0
I have a .bash_profile (previously, .bashrc) with
export DISPLAY="${DISPLAY:-:0}"
and just set it to ...
Can I get the same result as this?
$ env | grep DISPLAY $ DISPLAY=:0.0
where 0.0 is an environment-dependent number.
See above for the results for both root and user marc. The only difference I see (don't know if it is important) is that for you DISPLAY is :0.0 whereas DISPLAY for me is simply :0 I also tried changing the name of the .bashrc file, for user marc, to .bash_profile It didn't help or make a difference. Marc...
Regards.
