"unable to activate the qt5 interface" yade 2017.01a

Asked by Carolina

Greetings

I recently installed the yade 2017.01a version and I'm trying to run a script that I usually used in yade 1.20.0 in ubuntu 16.04, with no problem at all, but now I'm getting the message:

ImportError: Connecting to DISPLAY at Yade startup failed, unable to activate the qt5 interface.

And I can't open the graphic interface of the program.
I installed yade by sudo apt-get install yade, and the version of my OS is Ubuntu 17.10 - Release amd64

Hope anyone could give me some tips to solve this issue.
Thanks in advance

Carolina

Finally I went back to ubuntu 16.04 and installed yade 1.20.0 where the script runs without problem.
Thanks
