I hit this problem recently, you need to set E_IPC_SOCKET e.g.: export E_IPC_SOCKET=/tmp/enlightenmment-<username>/disp-:0.0-<pid>
Your shell should autocomplete it as you type if you're heavy on the Tab key ;-) You can also "grep IPC ~/.xsession-errors" and you should be able to see what to set it to. cheers, tweek 2009/3/28 Jackson <jack...@objectivelytrue.com> > Hello, > I'm having problems using enlightenment_remote from a virtual terminal.
