Problems running MC on Audiolinux

<< < (2/4) > >>

lateboomer:
After I boot Audiolinux in command prompt line interface, I typed the following at command prompt:

ps -e | grep mediacenter || mediacenter21 /mediaserver

It said Mediacenter : unable to open X display (null)

But if I log into Audiolinux in GUI mode, I open QTerminal to type in above command, JRiver is opened until I cancel the command.


What is the issue? Thanks.

In MC settings, turn on Media Network and tell MC to run Media Server on startup of the OS.  See the topic called "Media Server" on our wiki.

Mediacenter requires an xserver to run even in server mode.

lateboomer:
I have booted up Audiolinux into command line mode. How do I check for running of xserver? I checked ps -e and htop but didn't find mediacenter or xserver. Do I need/how do I configure the cron to allow auto start of server mode?

I have set the settings at JRiver to enable network and for startup I set Linux to run Mediacenter.

The xserver is the GUI. You can't run MC from the console without a GUI running.
