Sun and said:
Now I need to start from console, (gnome is not running) an X
application, let's say as example xclock.
This is usually more complicated and less rewarding than you want.
export DISPLAY = 127.0.0.1:0.0
xclock
But when i start it, X11 starts well but no Xclock is running, and it
says can't open 127.0.0.1 display.
If DISPLAY contains a hostname or IP address, then X clients will
attempt to communicate with the X server over TCP. This doesn't always
work, because in most modern distros, X is started with the "-nolisten
tcp" option. It's usually much easier to do this:
(as user who's logged in to X)
xhost +local:
(allows all locally logged-in users to access the X display)
(outside of X session)
export DISPLAY=:0
xclient &
(xclient starts on :0)
....no problem. You can also do things with xauth, but this way's easier
if a bit less secure.
