Hi Zeljko, Installing NoWindows is turning out to be a lot more complicated than it looks. I am trying to do it from the MingW32 Window (Git shell window) as I run vagrant in that shell to bring up my VM. I want to bring up Firefox in the VM shell, and download the NoWindows from there. See this article for how to install in on a VM; http://www.nomachine.com/ar/view.php?ar_id=AR11E00489
What do I set the terminal DISPLAY too, in order to get firefox this to work, as what I tried below did not seem to work? vagrant@mediawiki-vagrant:~$ export DISPLAY=127.0.0.0 vagrant@mediawiki-vagrant:~$ firefox & [1] 8706 vagrant@mediawiki-vagrant:~$ Error: cannot open display: 127.0.0.1:0 [1]+ Exit 1 firefox Is there anything Xterm/Xclient related I have to set in addition? Has anyone else out there using Windows tried installing NoWindows in this environment? It would be great if someone else could give it a shot as well.
