$ wineconsole cmd

Application tried to create a window, but no driver could be loaded.
Make sure that your X server is running and that $DISPLAY is set correctly.

err:wineconsole:WINECON_Fatal Couldn't find a decent font, aborting

$ echo $DISPLAY
only a blank line displayed.

$ export $DISPLAY=":0.0"

-bash: export: `=:0.0': not a valid identifier

$ export $DISPLAY=:0.0

-bash: export: `=:0.0': not a valid identifier

$ export $DISPLAY=0

-bash: export: `=0': not a valid identifier

None of them can work.

Please advise what will be the correct syntax to run "export $DISPLAY"

TIA

Just remove the '$', since it's really a variable declaration.

If you use the $, then $DISPLAY is expanded to its value, which is an empty string, and the resulting line is this:

export "=:0.0"

Hence that error message that you get, since neither of '=' nor '.' are valid characters for an identifier.

Hi i92guboj,

I got it. Exec the command without $ before DISPLAY

Thanks
