Raspberry Pi: ebook-convert only with xvfb (html to pdf)
I've just installed calibre 1.3 on my raspberry pi (Debian wheezy), I'll only use ebook-convert in the future.
html2txt, html2epub and html2mobi works fine, but html2pdf requires the usage of xvfb --> xvfb-run ebook-convert in.html out.pdf I'd like to know why this is needed (Or to be more exact: why is it needed for pdf, but not for the other ones). (There's a post in this board from Kovid that xvfb isn't required with versions later than 0.8.x) Rai |

Because Qt needs it and html2pdf uses Qt WebKit.
