Re: [Ftpcube-general] Display issue when FTPCube is started

[Michael G. <mg...@ee...>]

  Hi. Are you running ftpcube on a remote box or through a
terminal connection? If you're running it locally, have
you started the X windows system or are you at the command
prompt? If at the command prompt, try typing `startx`.
Then you can open up a terminal and run ftpcube. If you're
starting the command on a remote box, you have to set your
display variable so the application can connect to your
windowing system. You can set it like this:

(assuming bash shell):

export DISPLAY=<your IP address>:0

or, assuming na IP of 1.2.3.4:

export DISPLAY=1.2.3.4:0

  Hope that helps.
