Summary0006664: UI(error): ui_init(), failed to open X11 display:
Description

We are facing problems with Rdesktop and Xfreerdp since version 2020. We have tried several configurations, but without success. I installed the kali 2020-3 and it has the same error. The only version of Kali that we had no problems with was in 2019.
Can anybody help me?

Steps To Reproduce

root@kali:~# xfreerdp /u:administrator /p:134679 /v:140.190.50.12
[ERROR]{[com.freerdp.client.x11] - failed to open display;
[ERROR]{[com.freerdp.client.x11] - Please check that the $DISPLAY enviroviment variable is properly set.

or

also had you tried this :
su root
xdpyinfo
find the string behind "name of display" e.g., name of display：127.0.0.1：1.0 (which is "1.0")
export DISPLAY=:1.0

I tried several ways and I can't. In kali 2019-3 it works perfectly. In Kali 2020, however, no known way worked.
I upgraded from 2019 to 2020-3 and stopped working. So now I'm using 2 kali linux. This is very unproductive.

that's weird because when i echo variable $DISPLAY i get :1
try this (export DISPLAY=<your.own.ip>:0.0)

It really is very strange. Já tentei several forms and not with it. He thought it might be a BUG in some Gnome or Kali service.
