#42852: MacPorts installation sets $DISPLAY=:0 in .bashrc ------------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: Norbert.Marwan@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: base | Version: 2.2.1 Keywords: X,installation | Port: ------------------------------+-------------------------------- After installing MacPorts I found a new line in .bashrc setting the $DISPLAY variable to :0. This is highly problematic because the Xorg server sometimes creates a new display port (e.g. :1). In this case, X applications will not be able to work because the DISPLAY was set to :0 and an annoying "unable to open display at :0" error appears. MacPort should not set the DISPLAY variable to :0. If it is necessary to set it then the port needs to be set dynamically, depending on the used display port of the currently running X server. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/42852> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
