Hello,

I tried these commands on my headless server, using a remote SSH session, but it didn't work.

First I run:

echo $DISPLAY

and I got blank results

Then I tried:

Xvfb :1 -screen 0 1280x960x24 & DISPLAY=:1 wine explorer.exe

and I got the following results:

(EE)
Fatal server error:
(EE) Server is already active for display 1
If this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.X1-lock
and start again
(EE)
006e:err:winediag:nodrv_CreateWindow Application tried to create a window, but no driver could be loaded.
006e:err:winediag:nodrv_CreateWindow Make sure that your X server is running and that $DISPLAY is set correctly.

I don't know how to proceed in order to solve the issue.

Any help will be more than welcome.

Best wishes,

Daniel.
