Some trouble with GTK

Hello all, I've been trying to get an Arch Linux machine up and running for a while now, but GTK will just not let it happen. After installing LXDE, LXDM and Chromium onto a machine, I seem to be getting this error:

[rvs314@localhost ~]$chromium
no protocol specified
[984:984:0324/163912.712391 : ERROR: browser_Main_loop.cc(279)] Gtk: cannot open display :0

I have tried exporting the DISPLAY variable to 0.0 and a few other common fixes to no avail. If you need any more information I can provide it, and all of my software is up to their newest versions. Any help you can give is appreciated. Cheers!

Set your hostname.

Turns out setting my hostname was the problem. Thanks to jasonwryan for a quick and helpful answer.
