Thanks for the tip. I originally added the line to the file /etc/skel/.bashrc which is what the .bashrc file in the /home/ubuntu directory is created from on the live CD. So the line is present in ~/.bashrc as soon as .bashrc is present in the /home/ubuntu folder on the live CD.<br> <br>I just tried adding it to <code>/etc/X11/Xsession.d/99disable-overlay-scrollbars</code> instead, which should apply the setting system-wide (as described here: <a href="http://askubuntu.com/questions/34214/how-do-i-disable-overlay-scrollbars" target="_blank">http://askubuntu.com/questions/34214/how-do-i-disable-overlay-scrollbars</a>). When I echo the value in a terminal it correctly says 0. Now, however, when I try to run an application, I get the following error (no matter which app I run):<br> <br> (gnome-calculator:4443): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0.0<br> [1]+ Exit 1 gnome-calculator<br><br>Any ideas?<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2012/4/19 <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:darxus@chaosreigns.com">darxus@chaosreigns.com</a>></span><br> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div class="im">On 04/19, Rune Kjær Svendsen wrote:<br> > I'm trying it out on a live CD now that I've created with the script I'm<br> > attaching to this message.<br> > For some reason it's not working.
