Xibo install in a Cloud: RuntimeError: No available video device

Asked by Michel

Hello all,

I'm installing Xibo server 1.6 on a Ubuntu 12.04 wich is running in a cloud. When i run ./run.sh i get this error:

root@********: /opt/xibo/pyclient/client/python# ./run.sh
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "XiboClient.py", line 24, in <module>
    from libavg import *
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/libavg/__init__.py", line 15, in <module>
    from avg import *
RuntimeError: No available video device

Because its running in a cloud it doesnt have any video devices or drivers.

Does somebody has a solution?

Greetings,

Michel van der Hulst

You can't run the client without a display. You need a local hardware
accelerated graphics card

So the server can't run in the Cloud?

The server can. The client can't

That isn't the server. Note it's the client directory you're in.

The server files we distribute don't even contain the client directories.

Please pop over to the manual and follow the instructions for installing
the server, or alternatively purchase hosting from the project sponsors

Thanks, i have installed the server succesfully in the cloud using a old manual.
