Running in command line without UI on ubuntu

[TomUK]

Hello,

I'm trying to get CC running on a server with no screen; I've got somewhere but I'm not getting any new clouds created; I'm running on ubuntu14 and this is the command and the output I'm getting:

Code: Select all

root@aa:/# xvfb-run /usr/bin/CloudCompare -SILENT -o /data/office.e57 -SS SPATIAL 0.1
[LOADING]
Opening file: '/data/office.e57'

Am I trying to achieve something that's possible, and if so then any thoughts on what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks!
Tom

Hum,

There's no reason why it shouldn't work at least. But maybe there's an error and you can't see it (as it's normally output... in a graphical dialog :D)

Aha, yep, tried running with a UI and found the error, as I was trying to process an e57 but with an old CC.

I'm running ubuntu 16, do you know if there's any CC 2.7 packages available?

Thanks!
Tom
