Is mldonkey_gui correct ?
Is $DISPLAY set when you run mlnet ?
BTW, I always thought that starting the gui from the core was a strange
idea.
IMO, either it should be possible to start/kill the core from the GUI
(edonkey C-interface like), or both GUI and kernel should be spawned as
needed from some small wrapping script (xinit like)...
Something like (untested, just to give some idea):
#!/bin/bash
MLDONKEY_DIR="${MLDONKEY_DIR:-HOME/mldonkey}"
export MLDONKEY_DIR
mkdir -p "$MLDONKEY_DIR" || exit 1
cd "$MLDONKEY_DIR"
PATH="$MLDONKEY_DIR:$PATH"
CORE_RUNNING=0
[ -f mlnet.pid ] && kill -0 `cat mlnet.pid` && CORE_RUNNING=1
if [ $CORE_RUNNING = 0 ]; then
echo "Starting core, please wait..."
mlnet -daemon "$@" &
echo "$!" >mlnet.pid
sleep 15
fi
exec mlgui
BR,
Pierre.
