Hi all, I have a server with ubuntu. Now trying to make a windows dedicated server on the host. I have transferred dedicated server files to “root” and get “wineconsole” on the doplet.. I put these commands and get an error..

screen
wineconsole --backend=curses mb_warband_dedicated.exe -r Sample_Battle.txt

Error: 

Application tried to create a window, but no driver could be loaded. 
Make sure that your X server is running and that $DISPLAY is set correctly. 
err:systray:initialize_systray Could not create tray window 
wineconsole: Starting program "mb_warband_dedicated.exe -r Sample_Battle.txt" failed. 
The command is invalid.

Is there anyone who knows how to make it work.. Thanks in advance…

It’s trying to open what you’ve asked it to run in a window, which it cannot.

You probably have to install X on your server.

How can I run it then? And what is “X”

    X is displays what you’ve opened on your server

    X11 is a display server used by most Unix systems to display graphical content.

    If the program you are trying to run really doesn’t require a graphical window, you can probably get away with tricking it into using a “headless” display server with the xvfb-run command. It can be installed with:

    sudo apt-get install xvfb

    Then try prepending it to your command:

    xvfb-run wineconsole --backend=curses mb_warband_dedicated.exe -r Sample_Battle.txt

    asb, I have tried and got this error:

    wineconsole: Starting program "mb_warband_dedicated.exe -r Sample_Battle.txt" failed.
The command is invalid.
root@ottoman:~# XIO:  fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server ":99"
      after 138 requests (137 known processed) with 0 events remaining.

    asb’s suggestion was a pretty good one, but if it doesn’t work, this is one way to install X:
    sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade -y && sudo apt-get install screen unzip xfce4 xfce4-goodies gdm

    You’ll get an XFCE desktop environment that way, just like Windows.

    You can start X using the command:
    startx
