Code: Select all

# In your .bashrc file, assuming you use bash, if you include
# the following script, the DISPLAY variable can be set up
# automatically for you each time you log on.

# Set the DISPLAY variable handling remote logins
who am i | grep '(' > /dev/null
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
# remotely logged in
export DISPLAY=`who am i | sed 's/.*(\(.*\)).*/\1/'`
# Append ":0" or ":1" if not already there
echo $DISPLAY | grep : > /dev/null
if [ $? -eq 1 ]; then
export DISPLAY=${DISPLAY}:127.0.0.1.0
# or... export DISPLAY=${DISPLAY}:0.0
fi
fi
#echo DISPLAY=$DISPLAY

This .bashrc entry corrects the following cmdline errors if /etc/environment.conf (DISPLAY=":127.0.0.1.0") fails to...

... `:0.0': not a valid identifier

... cannot find display

The following is my current /etc/fonts/local.conf:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>

  <match target="font">
  <edit name="autohint" mode="assign">
    <bool>true</bool>
  </edit>
  <edit name="hinting" mode="assign">

  <edit mode="assign" name="hintstyle">

  </edit>
  <edit mode="assign" name="lcdfilter">
