ebook-convert : cannot connect to X server localhost:10.0

Description

When running ebook-convert (calibre 0.6.42) on an ubuntu 10.04 server without x running I receive this error, : cannot connect to X server localhost:10.0, when it is Creating EPUB Output at 67%.

This error occurs somewhere in the plumber.run() function. I suspect it has something to do with the reporter since when I built my own wrapper I used the Plumber class default report_progress=Dummy Reporter?() and didn't get any errors.

No it has to do with rendering the titlepage in an EPUB for which an X server is required. Either update to the latest calibre which will degrade gracefully in the absence of an X server or use xvfb.
