Subject: [9fans] Plan 9 port namespace directory and $DISPLAY in leopard
Topicbox-Message-UUID: eb0ac88e-ead2-11e9-9d60-3106f5b1d025

Hey,

How do you guys deal with the the $DISPLAY variable in leopard? The  
default on my machine dies because $DISPLAY contains a directory  
name(something like: /tmp/launch-hAKQ0T/:0) which messes up getns when  
getns tries to make the ns directory(tries to make a non-existent  
path). I fix this by starting X11 from the terminal and setting  
$DISPLAY to ':0'. How have you guys been getting around the problem?
