Description Ákos Maróy 2006-03-10 00:09:22 UTC 
when trying to start wifi-radar.sh, I get:

$ wifi-radar.sh
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/sbin/wifi-radar", line 1795, in ?
    import gtk, gobject
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py", line 37, in ?    from _gtk import *
RuntimeError: could not open display



which is kind of naturaly, as xhost is restricted to the current user. but even if I set

xhost +

I get the same - as the DISPLAY environment variable will not be set when doing sudo /usr/sbin/wifi-radar inside the wifi-radar.sh script
