How to run X windows application on TIDM8148



Hi all,

Ubuntu-core-12.04-armel filesystem is up and running on TIdm8148. I installed X11and all X windows related package using apt-get utility on dm8148 properly.

But when I run applications such as gedit, synaptic etc which uses X on dm8148, I get the following message on minicom:

** (gedit:29955): WARNING **: Command line `dbus-launch --autolaunch=d8149dabd6653298901627770002b9d8 --binary-syntax --close-stderr' exited with non-zero exit status 1: Autolaunch error: X11 initialization failed.\n

Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0.0

How to remove these warning?

Thanks in advance
