Debian :: X: Unable To Open Display '' (two Single Quotes)?

Jun 10, 2010

I'm experimenting with old linux Distributions again, and while trying tostart an x server, I get the following error message:X: unable to open display ''That makes me think that the config file is incomplete, but I would have no idea how to make it. If there is an auto configuration utility that I do not know about for X, it would be great to hear about. Here are some other specifications that might help:*Host: VMWare Workstation on Windows XP Home*Distribution: Debian 2.2 (potato) (Yes, I know it's old.)*Connection: Local. I've heard of people having difficulties like this on remote connections, but I am on the physical computer

Ubuntu :: Double Quotes And Single Quotes Not Working In 11.04?

Aug 2, 2011

I am not sure If anybody has faced this issue, my keyboard is less responsive when pressing the double quote/single quote key, I have to press it twice for it to print the quote( and that too it prints some other data and not exactly a double-quotes). Initially I thought it was issue with my keyboard, but later I see that it is working fine in Windows XP. It looks some kind of setting issue. If you check the below two examples, example a) is the double quote printed in Ubuntu, it doesnt exactly looks like a double-quotes and b) is the one printed in Windows.

Programming :: Python - String To Omit The Single Quotes (')?

Mar 18, 2011

After I assign a string to a variable, I know that the print function will remove the single quotes around the value, but is there a way to assign a variable without the quotes around the value? for example:

a = open('/usr/lib', 'r+')
b = f.read()
c = x.replace('.xx','yy')
d = ?

c returns the value with quotes around it print c returns the value without the quotes Is there a way to assign a new variable (d) which will equal c without the quotes? I need a new variable which has the quotes omitted because from there the script will take the value of the last variable (which is a path to a file), and tar up that file. It won't recognize the path to the file if the value has quotes around it.

Debian Multimedia :: Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 Keyxhost: Unable To Open Display ":0"

Aug 19, 2011

i recently moved from Ubuntu to Debian(squeeze).. i am very pleased with squeeze except for this bug..I have this python script i wrote to change my wallpaper (through Gconf), the script would be called by cron from time to time.The problem i am facing in Debian is that this script stopped working.I am exporting the $DISPLAY=:0 in Cron, (this is how it worked in Ubuntu)..the cron job i used is below:

-----------
* * * * * export DISPLAY=:0 && /path/to/my/script.py

so the above was not running...I redirected the output and this is what i got as error:

-------------

Debian :: Error: Cannot Open Display: 0 When Trying To Launch Firefox

Sep 8, 2010

So I just installed 32-bit Squeeze. I've done exactly two things since booting into the first install: pt-get install gtk+2.0, and ./firefox, so unless gtk did something, this might be an easily fixable problem with Debian itself. After installing gtk and trying to run firefox via command line, it tells me

Code: Error: cannot open display: :0 I googled a bit and couldn't come up with a solid solution, but the problem seems to be around other places. Any idea how to fix this?

Programming :: Double Quotes Inside Double Quotes?

Jun 6, 2010

In bash I need to use some equivalent of double quotes inside double quotes (or the other way around.)I need to run the following statement to get the output of foo and store it in a variable while passing foo the $file which probably contains spaces.

Code:
variable=$(foo "$file")
The problem is that foo might return an empty string and if it does I need to catch it

General :: X11 Forwarding - Error: Can't Open Display: <ip Of Display>

Jun 28, 2011

I have the following scenario that doesn't seem to work normally. I have a windows 7 pc from which I am using putty to connect to my other linux servers (all running redhat 5 and 6). So here is the scenario that works and one that does not work. And I'm trying to figure out the one that does not work. Scenario that works:

From windows 7 (putty) I ssh into Linux_Server_1.
echo $DISPLAY
localhost:10.0

I run xclock and I see it pop up on my windows 7 pc. I am using xming on windows 7 to help me populate the display from linux to windows. One that does not work:

From windows 7 (putty) I ssh into Linux_Server_1. Then from Linux_Server_1 I ssh into Linux_Server_2.
echo $DISPLAY
<no output>

I try to setup $DISPLAY with localhost:10.0 or 0.0 or even my windows 7 pc ip address:0.0 ....etc Then when I try to run xclock I doesn't work.

I get these error messages: Error: Can't open display: <ip of display>

Also as a side note all our Linux servers are sitting on one subnet. My pc is sitting on another subnet. I use vpn to connect to the subnet where the servers sit from my pc.

Installation :: Basic Process For Configuring Single Display?

Feb 4, 2010

I've read through tutorials on xrg.conf and xrandr but I have a hard time sorting it all out.I have two questions:You have installed a distro and you're looking at a desktop, but its off center on the monitor and its in low graphics mode, and possibly the wrong refresh rate. [ I've been in this situation with multiple distros, but lets use Ubuntu for the example.]1) How do you determine the actual current resolution?2) What are the steps -in order- to configure the (single) (desktop computer) display?

OpenSUSE :: Root Trying To Open Flashplayer In KDE Getting Cannot Open Display

Feb 18, 2011

We have a digital signage appliance built on SUSE 11.3 with a LAMP server that uses the flashplayer application to play a .swf file from localhost. It is a AOpen GP7A mini pc that has the nVidia drivers loaded. We have lots of customers that have been running the exact same system for over 6 months (we image the drive for each sale).

For some reason, my last customer is seeing the following problem shown below, and this linux configuration is way over my head. Everything else is working (local LAMP server is working, communicating with our production servers to get information works, etc). I have verified that it is screen 0 that is running (at least it shows with Ctrl-Alt-F7). I thought that it may have occurred because of updating the software with zypper up. I had the customer rebuild from the image being careful not to upgrade the software. The result was the same. The pc is a newer version compared to my bench pc, but there are multiple other customers running that same version just fine. So I am not sure if it is

The command is issued by a php script that is run in a root cron job. As I said, it works great on all other customer pc's including my bench system. I also tried to execute the command on a ssh terminal as the root user with the same result. I also upgraded my bench pc and it still worked properly.

The command being executed is sudo env DISPLAY=:0 XAUTHORITY=/home/svision/.Xauthority flashplayer http://localhost/flash/sign.swf &

the result (when run in terminal) is: No protocol specified (flashplayer:15077): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0
