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

[Yuri v. O. <yva...@xs...>]

Hi Randy,

This is more of a general linux, or better yet, an X question. Not so much
an Ftpcube specific problem.

I'm guessing you've probably surfed to the ftpcube website, which means
you're running X - first-time users coming from windows (judging from your
website) usually don't know where to begin on the console.
As you get get a text error, I'm also guessing you've tried to start
ftpcube from a terminal window. And last, I'm guessing you're not running
a common distribution like RedHat, Suse, Mandriva, Knoppix, Debian,
Fedora or Ubuntu, because these should have $DISPLAY set out of the box.

To set $DISPLAY type this in the terminal:
   export DESKTOP=:0.0
then run ftpcube again.

Hth and welcome to linux!

Regards,
Yuri
