[SOLVED] Failed to run Qt applications under Xwayland

exaos · 2015-04-14 05:35:42

I installed extra/xorg-server-xwayland, extra/qt5-wayland, extra/kwayland. My .config/weston.ini looks like this:

[core]
modules=xwayland.so

When I execute gnuplot_qt, or try to plot under gnuplot cli, I got the following error message:

Failed to create display (No such file or directory)

What's wrong?

I encountered same error with several other applications, e.g., texdoc.

ea-laptop :: ~ % texdoc pgf                                                   
ea-laptop :: ~ % Failed to create display (No such file or directory)

According to the answer to this question on StackOverflow, I need to run weston first --
