GUI's in fedora

[jparkerri]

Does GnuRoot support GUI's? I installed TclTk and tried to run a sample TCL script but got some errors: "no display name and no $DISPLAY environment variable". Should this work? Thanks.

You have a couple of choices 1) you can download and launch the XSDL Server https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=x.org.server&hl=en and set your DISPLAY accordingly or 2) install a vncserver from within your rootfs and connect to it via a vncviewer.

Thanks for the reply.

2 questions:

1 - if I use the wheezyx rootfs, what do I have to do to see a GUI? It's important that any process I start under the rootfs keeps running while I do other things on the phone (tablet) NOT under GnuRoot. 2 - should I be able to run 'fedup' to upgrade to fedora 18 or higher?

Thanks.

1- you need to install a vnc viewer. I use realvnc, but have heard others work. Alternatively, you could use wheezyx along with the xsdl server, which you can find on the play store. 2- I am not sure. I have not tried this.
