warning (.:10947): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display
#1



Hello,

I'm establishing a remote desktop connection from a windows xp to linux redhat server via ssh. I have a java application which is developed under J2SE using netbeans 5.0. I uploaded the jar files of the application to the server. I trying to execute that application but I'm getting this warning (.:10947): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display,

 

Hope guys you can help me...

 

Thanks....

"X" is the graphical desktop.

 

To start yours, use "init 5" from putty - that will put your server in run-level 5 (graphical desktop). It's a good chance you're still running in run-level 3 (type runlevel to see what level you're currently in)

 

To stop it, just type "init 3" to drop back to run-level 3.

 

To have your server come up in 5 permanently, edit the /etc/inittab file and change the "initdefault" line from 3 to 5. Just be damned careful when editing this file - it can cause a non-bootable system next time around!
