Subject: bug#63555: emacs 29 complains that it can't connect to the display
Date: Wed, 17 May 2023 09:51:43 -0400

Package: emacs
Version: 29.0.90

In previous versions of emacs, if the DISPLAY/WAYLAND_DISPLAY variable
was not set, it would default to tty mode.  In version 29, it seems to
assume a default value and complains that it can't connect to the
display server unless you run it with -nw.
