Problem still exists in Ubuntu 8.04 - Any program that requires a GUI is unable to run without the export DISPLAY=... line.

[Bug 94933] Re: The 'at' command fails to execute commands at the given times and dates
Ok, so the missing export of $DISPLAY appears to be the problem (amarok requires this, too). Here's a quote from at.c however: /* Write out the environment. Anything that may look like a * special character to the shell is quoted, except for \n, which is * done with a pair of 's. Dont't export the no_export list (such * as TERM or DISPLAY) because we don't want these. */ where no_export is: TERM, DISPLAY, _, SHELLOPTS, BASH_VERSINFO, EUID, GROUPS, PPID, UID -- The 'at' command fails to execute commands at the given times and dates https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/94933 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
