I am trying to run a kaptain program and I keep getting the following error:
kaptain: cannot connect to X server
What does that mean and how do I fix it?
kman
What this means is that it cannot connect to your x-window manager. I'm going to assume that you're running this locally for the solutions. I'm also going to assume that you have some X11 installation installed and running. Some things to try would be to start kaptain from an X11 terminal window and if not starting from an X11 terminal, open one up and issue 'xhost +' at the command prompt then start kaptain. [Please note that on an open network there may be some security issues 'xhost +' presents, but should be safe on a local network behind a firewall. ] This should set your display and enable access of other programs [i.e. kaptain] to connect to your window manager.
