(Linux) Latest Update - Server can't find X

jcpt928

So, I went through and updated our server last night, and, noticed yum installed a new version of Doomsday.

I am using the exact same command to start the server as I always have; however, I am now getting a "doomsday: cannot connect to X server" error and the server will not start.

Any help would be appreciated.

BTW, this is a headless VPS that is accessed over SSH.

(doomsday -server -dedicated -game hexen-v10 -p ~/.doomsday/conf/autoexec.cfg)

Which version you've got installed now? If it's 1.10, as noted, the server is now a separate binary.

Try this command line instead:

doomsday-server -game hexen-v10 -p ~/.doomsday/conf/autoexec.cfg

I.e., "doomsday-server" is the name of the binary, and the "-dedicated" option is not needed. If you want log output to stdout, use the "-stdout" option.

Please note that "doomsday-server" is a non-interactive process, so you need to use the Shell to operate it. See "man doomsday-shell-text" for information how to control a server running in the background.

Thanks for the reply. This solved my issue. I read through the change-log for the latest version and didn't see this noted as a change. I may have missed something.
