2010-10-25 13:35:41 su_v description Somehow similar to #165983, but not completely. We are running inkscape on a server without X for converting SVG images. In principle, inkscape offers a nice batch mode via the "-z" option, but this seems not to be implemented consistently. If you run inkscape as a normal user your get Xlib: connection to "localhost:11.0" refused by server Xlib: PuTTY X11 proxy: MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 data did not match (inkscape:24050): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_display_list_devices: assertion `GDK_IS_DISPLAY (display)' failed 301.27942 so despite some error messages you get the expected output. If you do the same as apache user (which doesn't have the X authorization files) you get $ inkscape -z -W drawing.svg X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication. The application 'inkscape' lost its connection to the display localhost:11.0; most likely the X server was shut down or you killed/destroyed the application. so inkscape does not run properly. It would be nice to be able to run inkscape without any need for X at all. Somehow similar to bug #165983, but not completely. We are running inkscape on a server without X for converting SVG images.
