Hi,
I am using Porteus text mode . I want to run GTK application using text mode of porteus without using X-server. It is showing warnings and error like,
Code: Select all
Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:
I used the following commands, but It seems like these commands are not helpful.
Code: Select all
$ startx xvfv-run ./(gtk_application)
Seems like xvfb is not working in this. Any help would be appreciated.

I never heard of a way of running XWindows programs without a running X Window session. Did you manage doing so in another Linux variant?
Cheers!
