"Can't open display" problems

2001-02-22 Thread Trevor Wood
I just upgraded from potato to woody and found that I cannot open my display for X apps anymore. My hostname is MEDESIGN, so I used to set my DISPLAY environment variable to MEDESIGN:0. Now I have to set it to :0.0 to run local X apps. However, this won't work when I try to run an X applicati

How to get GNUCash in Sid?

2001-02-22 Thread Burton Windle
I know that bug reports have already been filled wrt GNUCash not being able to be installed in Sid. Are there any work-arounds, or other ways to get GNUCash usable in Sid now? Or do I just have to wait for new (guile | gnucash| etc) packages, and curse the day I ignored the meaning of unstable? ;-)

On your local machine you need to edit "/etc/X11/xinit/xserverc". There's a nice line that contains "-nolisten tcp" in it. Remove that and restart X. I had the same problem. Robert Thus spake Trevor Wood ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): > > I just upgraded from potato to woody and found that I cannot

Hi, I would like to migrate to a new server. It seems like a good idea to use rdist to keep the various config files in synce between the machines. This works very well if I run rdist as ordunary user, but not as root. This is required to be able to work with files in /etc. I get 'Connection refuse

You need xlibosmesa3, perhaps only available under unstable. I believe the wine package incorrectly does not list this as a dependency. On Mon, 19 Feb 2001, Leonard Leblanc wrote: > Has anyone had any experience with using wine? I am currently doing alot of > web development at work and _really_
