Hi Luis,

Could you post some lines before and after the Failed to connect to the D-Bus session daemon:” error above? Also, what is the command line that you are running that is resulting in the above error?

Thanks,
TK

Hi TK,

I´m trying to stream a video file without graphic interface using cvlc, and i have the error that u describe in the post. I don´t have any graphic package instaled. I tryed what you said but I can find /tmp/.X11-unix/X0, I´m using centos and installed vlc without errors. Do u have some hint?
thanks in advance
Luis
