Have you tried to set displayDISPLAY=:0.0 rdesktop <server>? Your didn't change something? How was your last time connection? How you terminate your session? Does anyrdesktopis still running? if yes, you would need to kill those sessions first as it caused the DISPLAY used by that session still and doesn't allocate same display thought

@αғsнιη I have set DISPLAY to 0 but not for a specific server, makes no difference except it shows display:0 in the error. No, I did not change something. What do you mean by last time connection? I usually terminate my session by closing the rdesktop screen but when I get this error I use ctrl + c. There are no rdesktop procs in ps -ef

AFAIK you need toexporttheDISPLAYvariable, notsetit. Otherwise child processes, like yourrdesktop, won't inherit it.

I have never had any luck with the rdesktop program. I have great luck with the remmina package. If you don't mind, I suggest you try that and see if it solves this.
