Cannot open display #1495

Closed leto closed 9 years ago

leto commented 9 years ago

Firstly, I have been using crouton for a few months now and it is great software. Currently using it on a HP Chromebook 11:

crouton: version 1-20150206191439~master:3401dc49
release: trusty
architecture: armhf
targets: xfce,cli-extra,chrome-dev
host: version 6457.107.0 (Official Build) stable-channel daisy_spring

Things have been working fine, then all of a sudden I am having serious X problems:

$ evince pres.pdf 
No protocol specified

** (evince:11688): WARNING **: Could not open X display
No protocol specified

At first this showed up as Vim spamming my display with "No protocol specified", so I uninstalled gvim (since I don't use the GUI). But the problem seems pervasive now.

Thanks for any help you can provide!

Rebooting did not change anything.

Where are you running this command? In crosh? The display environment will only be set properly in a xfce terminal (i.e. after you run startxfce4).

No, this is all in the Ubuntu Trusty chroot. Everything has been working fine and I think I installed some packages recently via apt-get that made X windows :hankey: the bed

Sorry for the delay, have you tried updating your chroot?

Quick question: How does one open a PDF from crosh (crouton installed with target: cli-extra)? Ideally I could just pipe the output to Chrome, it would open a tab, and display the pdf.
