"cannot connect to X server"

lcrivell · 09-10-2009, 03:50 AM

Dear all,

First of all I would like to thank the writer of Calibre who just made a great tool and saved us tons of hours.

I can convert my ODT documents in almost all formats, with the exception of LIT.

I then get the error:
Trimming unused files from manifest...
Trimming 'Pictures/1000020000000449000000E2CBA67372.png' from manifest
Trimming 'Pictures/10000000000000F70000004343278609.png' from manifest
Creating LIT Output...
67% Creating LIT Output

Applying case-transforming CSS...
: cannot connect to X server

I am running on debian, I don't have an X server, and I already unset the DISPLAY variable, used the --cover argument to point to a cover file but nothing helped.

Would someone have an idea ?

Thanks in advance,

Laurent

For some operations, an X server is simply required.
