Summary0001142: megacc requires X11 even tho it's a commandline
DescriptionI'm admin on a UCI cluster that has mega installed. I'm trying to help a user get the megacc commandline version running as a batch job, but it insists on an X11 connection:
$ megacc
(megacc:17433): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:

altho this is only a warning, the program dies and won't progress. Is there a way to shut this off?
Trying to set 'xhost +', explicitly set a DISPLAY, etc does not work in batch mode.

megacc -h does not seem to provide a way to do this.

Hi Harry,

I am writing in response to the bug report you recently submitted regarding the megacc software. To resolve the issue you encountered, you can download an updated build of megacc using the link below:

http://www.megasoftware.net/releases/megacc [^]

This is just the binary executable (no installer) so you should just move it to /usr/lib/megax/ to replace the megacc file there (or just uninstall megax and put the megacc file in the path - maybe /usr/local/bin). This new build has no dependency on GTK so it should run fine on a headless machine.

The link died, where I can find the megacc build has no dependency on GTK so it should run fine on a headless machine.Thanks a lot!
