Dear friends:
This is a simple question but in view of the discussion relative to the
DISPLAY environment yesterday, I think I ought to present it to the
expert list. I was told that if you should use the "export DISPLAY=:0.0"
command only manually and NOT put it in .bash_profile (I have already
deleted it from there yesterday). I was told that if you use this
command wrongly, globally, you could break the console and XWindows.
Is it possible to run RealPlayer in the CONSOLE, NOT In Xwindows. I just
tried by typing /usr/bin/realplay and got the standard error messge
about needing to specify a DISPLAY environment. I figured I better not
proceed any further before checking with the experts.
Since I spent long hours in the "dungeon" of the console a few days ago,
I wonder if I could at least listen or watch RealPlayer while in the
console. Can I use the export DISPLAY command to do that. Do computer
programmers who spend most of their time in the console listen to
RealPlayer from wihtin the console while they are working or do they
have to use it in XWindows on another computer. I only have one Internet
computer so that's an important consideration for me.
Thank you.
Benjamin
