Hello folks. I am having a strange problem trying to have an xconsole window working under my own login. I use a .xsession file to set up certain windows and apps I like to have available when I log in.
Seems that because I have this .xsession file in there, I cannot get an xconsole window to work. The window comes up, but in the window is the message "Couldn't open console". If I remove the .xsession file, the xconsole comes up fine. Here is the important stuff from the .xsession file: #!bin/bash DISPLAY=:0.0 export DISPLAY xconsole -g 490x200-20-50 & ... Has anyone else encountered and solved this problem? A kind reader of this group suggested I might need to define and export the DISPLAY variable in my .bashrc, which I plan to try ASAP. Any other ideas out there? TIA! --- Key fingerprint = D6 A7 D7 8C 92 CB 42 FD 60 D5 62 1C D7 B9 EA 8E Ken Gaugler N6OSK Hybrid Networks, Inc. Cupertino, Calif.
