I'm trying to run ebook-convert to generate epub format from a news feed using a downloaded built-in recipe, on a headless linux server (ubuntu 8.04 server). This fails with "cannot connect to X server".

Version of calibre 0.6.10

Command:

# ebook-convert times-online.recipe times-online.epub

After downloading articles (34%), error is generated:

34% Article downloaded: u'At leisure: Sailing brings Frank Martin relief from recession'
: cannot connect to X server

Attempting to convert a single local html file works ok, ie:

# ebook-convert index.html index.epub

Any help appreciated.

Thanks,

Nigel
