X Server and $Displayer issue

Post by hctez »

Hi, i've just installed wine, and when i try to run an aplication i get this error

Code: Select all

Application tried to create a window, but no driver could be loaded. Make sure that your X server is running and that $DISPLAY is set correctly.
Any help?

Thanks

Which Operating System are you using? Would be very helpful to have

Make sure you running this program as a regular user. And from the GUI interface, not text terminal.
