xbox:~# kde2 & [1] 864 xbox:~# xsetroot:  unable to open display '' ksplash: cannot connect to X server Aborting. $DISPLAY is not set. ksmserver: cannot connect to X server connect() failed: : No such file or directory

its 5:30am, im going to bed. i can only pray that it will sort it self out. of course being a windows guy who is new to linux, i tried rebooting (that will fix ANYTHING in windows) and killed my great uptime, and that didnt help.

Any ideas?

*edit* while i was posting this i was mucking with it, and got this error :

QUOTE

X-Win32 version 6.0 patch level 2 X11 forwarding refused

so that gives me an idea of where to start looking.

*edit number 2*

So i obviously lied about the sleep thing, and after further prodding, i found this:

Edit number 3.

I fixed that, it had nothing to do with anything AFAIK.
