Need help with HardenedBSD. Xorg not running.

barntop47 · #1 **(View Single Post)** 22nd March 2020

I just installed HardenedBSD in a virtual machine and in it, I installed
Xorg and Ice-WM for my desktop environment.

However, I wasn't able to get Ice-WM running (entered both "exec icewm" and "exec icewm-session") but I got this error.

iIceWM: Can't open display: <none>. X must be running and $DISPLAY set.

Help please?

Thanks.

Try

Code:

startx $(which icewm-session)

Or

Code:

echo 'exec icewm-session' > ~/.xinitrc
startx

If you choose then second option then you'll only have to run the plain 'startx' command to launch the desktop thereafter.
