xrandr Can't open display

sajeevank · February 14, 2017, 12:19pm

Hi,

I am working with a Beaglebone Black with Debian Jessie.

I am trying to interface with an LG 19M38H - B LCD display through its HDMI port.

When I am running the command

sudo apt-get install read-edid xserver-xorg-video-fbdev xserver-xorg-video-modesetting x11-xserver-utils

I am getting the following message

root@localhost:~# sudo apt-get install read-edid xserver-xorg-video-fbdev xserver-xorg-video-modesetting x11-xserver-utils
Reading package lists… Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information… Done
read-edid is already the newest version.
x11-xserver-utils is already the newest version.
xserver-xorg-video-fbdev is already the newest version.
xserver-xorg-video-modesetting is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 204 not upgraded.

Then I tried xrandr. It is giving the following message

root@localhost:~# xrandr
Can’t open display

I did the following to solve the issue, after exploring in forums

a)defining environment variable DISPLAY

root@localhost:~# export DISPLAY=:0.0
root@localhost:~# xrandr
Can’t open display :0.0
root@localhost:~#

b)defining environment variable XAUTHORITY

root@localhost:~# export XAUTHORITY=/root/.Xauthority
root@localhost:~# xrandr
No protocol specified
Can’t open display :0.0
root@localhost:~#

c) used the command xhost local:root

root@localhost:~# xhost local:root
No protocol specified
xhost: unable to open display “:0.0”
root@localhost:~# xrandr
Can’t open display :0.0

d) used the command xhost +

root@localhost:~# xhost +
xhost: unable to open display “:0.0”
root@localhost:~# xrandr
No protocol specified
Can’t open display :0.0

e) Also I changed the host name from beaglebone black to localhost to solve the issue.

But nothing is working. Thanks in advance for the help.

Thanks and Regards,

Sajeevan.K

i don't see that you started the X server---it needs to be running for
any of this to work.

Hi Przemek,

Thank You for the reply.

I stated the X server with startx command.
I am getting the following messages in the terminal.

Also now a default display is coming in the LCD display(which may be the BBB’s default display)

Now I tried to run a simpleQt program, by opening another terminal. But it is only showing the following message in the terminal.

I stated the X server with startx command.
Also now a default display is coming in the LCD display(which may be the
BBB's default display)

That's good. I don't know about the erorrs---it looks like the GL
software rendering is turned off but simple X should work now.

Now I tried to run a simpleQt program, by opening another terminal. But it
is only showing the following message in the terminal.

root@localhost:~# ./simpleQt
QXcbConnection: Could not connect to display

Are you doing that from the same terminal as the one you ran startx
from? What is the value of the DISPLAY environment variable?

Try doing
DISPLAY=:0 ./simpleQt

sajeevank · February 16, 2017, 12:28pm

Hi Przemek,

Initially I was not aware of the X server. With a detailed study about X server and X window system, I could solve this issue.
Thank You for the information and help.

Thanks & Regards,
Sajeevan.K

sajeevank · February 17, 2017, 11:45am

Hi Przemek,

My original question was regarding xrandr command.

Now I am able to open a window as per a small qt progam in the LCD display.

But still xrandr is not showing the outputs. It is showing no protocol specified.

root@localhost:~# xrandr
No protocol specified
Can’t open display :0.0
root@localhost:~#

Am I missing something?

Thanks for the help.

Sajeevan.K

walter_harms · February 17, 2017, 12:33pm

how do you connect local via console or remote via (whatever) ?
you must have you X server running.

When you are local

You can open a terminal window ? (xterm, ...)
(note: Handling is more easy if you have a windowmanager running)

now you must be able to try "xrandr -q" inside the terminal window.

hope that help,

Przemek_Klosowski · February 19, 2017, 1:08am

How are you running your qt program? Run xrandr in exactly the same
way; it should work. If it doesn't, describe how you set up your
console, show exactly the commands you're typing and their output

sajeevank · February 24, 2017, 7:49am

Hi,

Sorry for not replying. I have been busy with my works.

Like Przemek pointed out, here the issue may be the way in which I am entering the command 'xrandr’

So I will explain it.

After I enter startx in the command prompt of my desktop (ie root@beaglebone:~#) the following messages appearing in the display of my desktop.

root@beaglebone:~# startx

Also then my simple Qt application is run on the LCD display connected to BBB. (I have already included the executable file of simple Qt application in the file ~/.xinitrc) . (The contents of .xinitrc is given at the end of this mail)

Here the important point is that, now in my desktop terminal, I cannot enter the xrandr command, because there is no command prompt ( ie # ) in the terminal.

Now as Przemek suggested, I included the command ‘xrandr’ in ~/.xinitrc, before ./simpleQt (name of my simple Qt application).

But the execution of this command is observed in either desktop display or display connected to BBB.

I am also giving the contents of .xinitrc file

#!/bin/bash
xrandr
oclock -geometry +1450+920 -bg ivory -fg blue &
./q_msg_linux &
exec openbox

Please suggest a method, how I can run xrandr command in this situation.

Thanks & Regards,
Sajeevan.K

After I enter startx in the command prompt of my desktop (ie
root@beaglebone:~#) the following messages appearing in the display of my
desktop.

root@beaglebone:~# startx

X.Org X Server 1.16.4

(==) Using system config directory "/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d"

1280x720 0.00

So here you're running the xrandr command and getting output from it, right?

Here the important point is that, now in my desktop terminal, I cannot enter
the xrandr command, because there is no command prompt ( ie # ) in the
terminal.

OK, so the terminal program is not set up right. I see that you're
using openbox, which is a window manager.
I am not familiar with it, so I don't know what do you do in openbox
to start programs, but you need to start a terminal emulator and
arrange for a shell to be run within that emulator. This is normally
done automatically, but clearly in your case something is choking up.
I don't know what terminal emulators are available on your system, but
you need something like xterm, gtkterm or lxterm. Perhaps
SOLVED terminal in openbox / Newbie Corner / Arch Linux Forums has some advice that
you could use.

Now as Przemek suggested, I included the command 'xrandr' in ~/.xinitrc,
before ./simpleQt (name of my simple Qt application).

But the execution of this command is observed in either desktop display or
display connected to BBB.

See above---the execution of your xrandr outputs the information about
your screen.

sajeevank · March 8, 2017, 11:29am

Hi Przemek,

Now I am getting the response for xrandr command.

What I need to do is call the command xrandr, after my simpleQt program, but before the calling of X window manager.

So the contents in the .xinitrc should be as follows.

#!/bin/bash
oclock -geometry +1450+920 -bg ivory -fg blue &
./simpleQt &
xrandr
xrandr --output HDMI-0 --mode 800x600 --rate 60
exec /etc/alternatives/x-window-manager

I think earlier I was calling xrandr before simpleQt. I don’t remember correctly. Anyway it is coming now.

The following comments in your earlier post helped me.

"How are you running your qt program? Run xrandr in exactly the same
way; it should work. "

Thank You.

Now I am facing another problem.
I am using a video capture program and instead of simpleQt, now I am placing video capture program in .xinitrc as shown below.

#!/bin/bash
oclock -geometry +1450+920 -bg ivory -fg blue &
./video_capture &
xrandr
xrandr --output HDMI-0 --mode 800x600 --rate 60
exec /etc/alternatives/x-window-manager

Video is displayed nicely. But there is one issue.

A bottle with orange cap is appeared as one with blue cap. That means color displayed is not correct.

This is true for Image capture also. An image which is displayed with original color in debian image viewer is displayed with wrong color, when I am displaying in this way.

I don’t think it is because of the programs that we used here. A frame which is captured with a program is showing correct color with debian image viewer, but with different color, when I am displaying with startx in BBB.

Please provide some hints, where should I work on this issue?

Thanks in advance for the help.

Thanks & Regards,
Sajeevan.K

Przemek_Klosowski · March 14, 2017, 8:47pm

Sorry, I just don't know this area. In general, I'd try to isolate the
problem---I think you started doing this anyway, by moving the
captured images to an external host (I think that's what you mean by
viewing the image with 'debian image viewer'). This would mean that
the image is captured correctly, so the wrong display must happen when
you display it on BBB; does it happen only for the captured images, or
for all images? Keep trying to find the specific case for which you
have the problem. Sorry I can't be of more help.
