Hello, wifi-radar is a graphical program, what are you expecting when running it from console ?
Comment by Steen Meyer (slmeyer) - Friday, 08 October 2010, 07:48 GMT
I expect it to run, I have been using it that way many times in the past. Or spit out the error messages revealing why it cannot run. Is this not normal practice with any graphical program?

The error message is:
/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py:57: GtkWarning: could not open display

Oh - I see the problem was permissions to the X server when run as root, and to the conf file when run as non-root. Thanks
