10 If you're not in an X session this won't work. If X is running, and with
11 permission for you to use it, you can do this from within X, where it
12 will work without any bother, or in a virtual console, in which case you
13 will need to give it a display. This should usually be something like.

17 "export DISPLAY=:0; <command>"
