I have absolutely no clue how to make X11 use the tcsh shell. I don't even know what that is.
A shell is just the software that interprets the commands you type into a terminal session/window. There are several popular ones.
I'll try to find how to change it - it should be simple...
In the meantime, instead of the
setenv DISPLAY localhost:0
command, try using
export DISPLAY=localhost:0
I think that's the correct way to do it. Apparantly one of the biggest differences between tcsh and bash is that in bash you don't use setenv.
OK, here's a question... if you change the default shell for OS X, does that change also change the default shell for X11?
eta: Crap, I should do some work. In the meantime, here's info on changing shells: [link]
You can't change the default shell for OS X or for X11, you can change the default shell for a user.
I'll try all this when I get home, for sure. Thanks muchly!
You can't change the default shell for OS X or for X11, you can change the default shell for a user.
Yeah, that's what I meant. Of course, I didn't say that, so thanks for the clarification....
So what was the question then?
Is there just one thing to change? i.e. does changing the default shell for a user in the regular OS X environment also change the default shell under X11?
Oh, I was assuming that was not the case. That makes things easier. The link I gave above has instructions on how to change a user's shell that should work for Theo, then.
Has anybody networked two Tivos? What's the best way to do it cheaply? I'm willing to run Ethernet under the floor, and I hear that the throughput is substantially better.
