Bug#827404: gramps: Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused

[Vincent Smeets]

Package: gramps
Version: 4.2.3~dfsg-1
Severity: minor

Hallo,

I have a batch script that calls gramps to make a backup of the
databases. This script is run by crontab, so it is run without an X
display avaliable. In case no X display is avaliable, then gramps
outputs an error message. Even in case no display is needed. See the
following output:

vincent@PC-Vincent:~$ echo $DISPLAY
:0
vincent@PC-Vincent:~$ gramps -l
List of known Family Trees in your database path

/home/vincent/.gramps/grampsdb/544be60b with name "Smeets"
vincent@PC-Vincent:~$ unset DISPLAY
vincent@PC-Vincent:~$ gramps -l
Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused
Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused
List of known Family Trees in your database path

/home/vincent/.gramps/grampsdb/544be60b with name "Smeets"
vincent@PC-Vincent:~$


My backup script still works so this is only a minor error.

Regards,
Vincent
