Hi,

I came across some trouble running XBMC. After I typed the command: "DISPLAY=:0.0 sudo ./xbmc.bin", it shows:

No protocol specified
Can't open display :0.0
No protocol specified
No protocol specified
No protocol specified
ERROR: Unable to create application. Exiting
CRITSEC[0x8b854ac]: Trying to enter destroyed section.
CRITSEC[0x8b854ac]: Trying to leave destroyed section.

and didn't run. The log file shows:

PHP Code:

Does anyone know what caused this? Thanks in advance!

if you are in desktop 9.04 start by typing xbmc or selecting xbmc from the menu.

If you are not in desktop, you need to follow one of the guides like xbmcbuntu in the wiki. You need to have a display open. Most simple way: install fluxbox&xterm,startx,type xbmc in terminal.

Hi vikjon0,

Thanks for your reply. My xbmc was built from svn source. I think my X window server was installed correctly and it's running and fluxbox was installed as well. According to the log file, it looks like my GLX was not found. But I'm sure that I have installed it. Right now I just don't know any other reason to cause this.

What I am saying is since
DISPLAY=:0.0 sudo ./xbmc.bin"
does not start the windows system (apparantly) you could try to start xbmc from inside fluxbox and see what happens.
