[PD] Trouble loading PD under Linux

[Jim Ruxton]

Hmm. I tried running PD with -noadc and -nodac . Now my computer doesn't 
crash, just that specific window. I can ctrl alt F3 to another session. 
The message I get now is:

Application Initialization failed
no display name no $Display environment variable.

Any further thoughts?
