[Qgis-developer] PyQGIS standalone without x server
Hi Since I do not have access to a server w/o x server I cannot test it by myself. Does anybody know if a running x server is required to run pyqgis standalone apps? E.g. something like this: app = QApplication(sys.argv) QgsApplication.setPrefixPath(/home/stefan/Apps/qgis_master, True) QgsApplication.initQgis() QgsProject.instance().setFileName(os.path.join(current_dir, bpav5000sw.qgs)) QgsProject.instance().read(): QgsApplication.exitQgis() Best regards Stefan Freundliche Grüsse Stefan Ziegler Kantonsgeometer Amt für Geoinformation Amtliche Vermessung Rötistrasse 4 4500 Solothurn Telefon +41 32 627 75 96 Telefax +41 32 627 75 98 stefan.zieg...@bd.so.ch http://www.so.ch ___ Qgis-developer mailing list Qgis-developer@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer

QApplication will try to make a connection to it. QCoreApplication does not - but it brings other limitations. Actually there is an easy way to try it out - just set DISPLAY env variable to nothing: martin@zenbook:~$ DISPLAY= python Python 2.7.6 (default, Mar 22 2014, 22:59:56) [GCC 4.8.2] on linux2 Type help, copyright, credits or license for more information. from PyQt4 import QtGui app = QtGui.QApplication([]) : cannot connect to X server (the process is aborted) Cheers Martin ___ Qgis-developer mailing list Qgis-developer@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer
