Post #280,846 by crazy 4/6/07 5:32:01 PM Reply	None of these suggestions apply to this issue I had already taken care of all of them. The issue is when you have a minimally setup host, one that does not run X-Windows on the console. There is some critical utility (xauth maybe) that is not installed, which means even when everything else it setup, it still does not setup a DISPLAY variable or a tunnel back for the xwindows ession. After I shotgunned the following, it worked: apt-get install x-window-system-core xfs xserver But I'd prefer to get the minimal working stuff for my "utility" instances.
