[techtalk] bad display name in "add" command

[Tricia Bowen]

Hey Jennifer,
Issue the following command and see what it returns:
 echo $DISPLAY

for unix systems it should be :0.0, if your's says :10.0, you might try
issuing this command:
 export DISPLAY=:0.0

--Tricia

|Jennifer,
|Try this command to trace exactly what cvs is doing, it might give you
|some additional info:
|
| cvs -t update
|
| --Tricia

||Ideas?
