calibre: cannot connect to X server

cptnemo · 09-02-2013, 11:18 PM

Hi,

I saw there are many posts on the Internet related to this error. Still also it seams there are different causes.

I am running calibre (0.8.51) headless on a Raspberry Pi. Calibre works fine-I can browse the books via the web interface-still when I try to start and stop calibre from ssh terminal I get that error. I remember I used to be able to do that before. I really can't imagine what went wrong. Calibre start correctly at booting with this script.

Any suggestions on where to start/look to solve it?
