Display environment variable

[kakarala]

Hi

I am using ubuntu linux on windows7 using vmware. Can any one tell me how to set the display environmental variable
I tried using command

setenv DISPLAY hostname:0.0

how do i select the numbers 0

First, setenv is for csh-like shells. For sh-like shells (e.g. Bash) you use


export VAR=value

As for the values you need to set, we can't tell you the correct value if we don't know what you want to do.

It sounds like your question is about VMWare, not ubuntu.
