[Patrick Dupre]

Hello,

When I lauch gnome-terminal, I get

Maximum number of clients reachedUnable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused

# Failed to parse arguments: Cannot open display:

Why that?

echo $DISPLAY

and did you su - or sudo and/or ssh to someplace (even the local
machines) without a -X or -Y ?

if you want to verify it is a display setting/permission problem and
not a gnome specific issue try "xterm" and see if it also says cannot
open display and/or connection refused.

What about running xterm on the local display, not after ssh'ing into
localhost?  Of course nothing X is going to work after running 'ssh
localhost', you didn't tell it to forward X connections.

Anyway, nothing was running properly. I had to start the machine.
