Description Alec Voropay 2002-09-09 08:33:47 UTC

Description of Problem:
'up2date-nox' utility requires X if DISPLAY= environ present.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
up2date-2.7.86-7.x.3

How Reproducible:
try to setup DISPLAY and run 'up2date-nox'
$ export DISPLAY=not.exist:0.0
$ up2date-nox

Steps to Reproduce:
1. setup bogus DISPLAY=  environ, for example SSH sets it for localhost:10.0
2. run 'up2date-nox'
3. 

Actual Results:
[root@monitor ~]# up2date-nox --list
The application 'up2date-nox' lost its connection to the display localhost:10.0;
most likely the X server was shut down or you killed/destroyed
the application.
[root@monitor ~]#
[root@monitor ~]# env | grep DISPLAY
DISPLAY=localhost:10.0
[root@monitor ~]# unset DISPLAY
[root@monitor ~]# up2date-nox --list

Comment 1 Adrian Likins 2004-08-20 19:41:22 UTC

current versions of consolehelper understand nox (the X warning
is from that app that wraps up2date) and shouldnt give this
warning. 

Any other case (misconfigured X ) can be workaround with running
/usr/sbin/up2date directly
