Trying to run the shell in stealth mode yields this error message over and over:

```
xsel: Can't open display: (null)
: Inappropriate ioctl for device
```

I am running Ubuntu 18.04

Research direction

Start by reproducing stealth mode on Ubuntu 18.04 and trace where the CLI invokes xsel. The issue is done when stealth mode no longer repeatedly reports the display and ioctl errors in that environment.
