rhythmbox-client communicates with rhythmbox using the dbus session bus, so you need to make sure the client process has the same DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment variable as the rhythmbox process. > Strace shows following piece: > > [pid 19937] write(2, "Autolaunch error: X11 initialization failed.\n", 45) = > 45 > > How to fix this? And why X11 is needed by command line program? It does not use X11. That must be part of dbus's attempts at starting a session bus when DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS is not set. _______________________________________________ rhythmbox-devel mailing list rhythmbox-devel@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/rhythmbox-devel
