Thanks mate, that was a real help! If the event that anyone stumbles across this thread having the same problem in the future, the grep command gave me the exact output for what to add after the command "export E_IPC_SOCKET="; ignore the |0 or \|0 at the end of the filename as it appears in the terminal, but you must include both digits (probably ":0.0") for the display number; I had been confused by the error message and never found the right combination.
