[X2Go-Dev] Bug#1290: "Cannot open default display" error with .bashrc argument "setxkbmap de"

[Daniel Mann]

Package: x2goclient

Version: 4.1.1.1 (Windows)


When the argument "setxkbmap de" is present in the .bashrc, x2goclient
states "Cannot open default display".

This issue is resolved when the argument is removed from the .bashrc file.

Sounds like you're calling setxkbmap when there's no display variable set.

Would you please try wrapping the setxkbmap call with
if [ -n "$DISPLAY" ]; then
setxkbmap de
fi

Also, what you are doing sounds like a workaround for $SOMETHING.

Could it be that you are unaware of the option to enforce a keyboard
mapping using X2GoClient?
If you know of that option, but it doesn't work for you, we'd prefer
receiving a bug report for that, rather than for your intended
workaround that doesn't work. ;-)

Kind Regards,
