Dlib: Display Error

Created on 7 Feb 2017  路  3Comments  路  Source: davisking/dlib

This is the error I get while trying to train dlib simple object detector on a Server.

Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key 314 FATAL [1] dlib.gui_core: Unable to connect to the X display.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "train_objects_detector.py", line 76, in
win_det = dlib.image_window()
RuntimeError: Failed to initialize X11 resources

I am not able to understand the error and also not able to find workaround. I read threads with similar problem but their solution didn鈥檛 help me out. (eg: ISSUE #15, #21)

You tried to open a window on a server that doesn't have a UI. What would you expect to happen?

Don't call image_window then.

Thanks. Code works fine now. But can you help me understand what was happening? @davisking
