Subject: Starting a xterm window
Date: Wed, 07 Jun 2017 15:18:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAKqBF1jXD9+D6UzXzu0Q=F-_iYL4vz2bCk9_VeRAT_y_FTYWYA@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Just getting a problem: this used to work but has stopped!
From within bash I can type
$ run XWin -clipboard -nolock -multiwindow 2>/dev/null &
$ /bin/xterm -display :0.0
and I am in a xterm window. Good; as intended.
If I want to enter xterm straight from a Windows command prompt I try
G:\> bin\run bin\XWin -clipboard -nolock -multiwindow 2>nul &
G:\> bin\xterm -display :0.0
but line 2 gives
/usr/bin/xterm: Xt error: Can't open display: :0.0
/usr/bin/xterm: DISPLAY is not set
Any ideas? (This used to work, it really did ...)
