Title: Can't Open Display
Post by: petros789 on July 24, 2012, 04:06:02 PM

Hi,

I've been trying to open up a PDF viewer such as xterm or evenice. But everytime I try to open them via bash it consistantly gives me the Can't Open Display error.

Any hints of what I should do?

Cheers in Advance,
Petros

You need to be running X.

I am running X using Xvesa for graphics and Fluxbox as the window manager.

Hi petros789
I've had good results using  foxit_reader.tcz. It doesn't have a desktop icon though, so to start it enter  FoxitReader
optionally followed by the name of a PDF in a terminal to start it.
