<p>Thanks Sebastien. It seems I'm getting somewhere - I installed
"slim" instead of xdm, and had the paraview user login
automatically. Now when I login via ssh, I can see the X server is
running, and the paraview user has the ~/.Xauthority file created
in its homedir (so I guess it did login successfuly). The DISPLAY
variable is still unset, but I get a new error if I set it
manually:</p>
<p>[paraview@vbl-sim ~] $ DISPLAY=:0 glxinfo<br>
Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 keyError: unable to open display :0<br>
</p>
<p>and the same error for any X program (so I can't run i.e. "xhost
+" recommended somewhere). This situation persists through
restarts. I trie ro remove the ~/.Xauthority file as recommended
elsewhere, but that didn't help either.<br>
</p>
(I also tried a second method - starting the launcher through
.xinitrc, but it seems slim ignores this file altogether. That's a
different problem anyways, as for testing it would be more
comfortable if I could launch the server form command line)<br>

<div dir="ltr">You were on the right track with DISPLAY=:0 but I'm
wondering if you setup a "virtual" monitor or if your "paraview"

I'm trying to set up a Paraview Web server on a Fedora 23
machine. The serves is not connected to a monitor or a
keyboard (I only have access through ssh), but it has a
nvidia GPU which I want to use for paraview.<br>
<br>
<br>
I have installed xdm to run the X server, and verified that
it is in fact running with the correct nvidia drivers (by
checking the Xorg.0.log file). The problem is I don't know
how to run the paraview webserver on the X display when
there's no one physically logged in - I can only get to the
server via ssh. When I log in, and switch to the paraview
user, the DISPLAY and XAUTHORITY variables are empty.<br>
<br>
<br>
The webserver itself is running (apache + the python
launcher), but when I try to open any of the example
applications, I get an error like this:<br>
<br>
<br>
$ ./launch-paraview.sh<br>
