Hi there! is there a way to open TBrowser in batch mode

[jblomer]

Hello,

The TBrowser is interactive in nature, it cannot be used in batch mode. ROOT apparently opens in batch mode even though you don’t explicitly call it that way (you don’t use root -b). Please check if the DISPLAY environment variable is set (echo $DISPLAY). You can also see if you can open any other graphical application, e.g. if instead of ROOT you can open xterm.

If this is an SSH connection, you can use ssh -Y user@hostname to get remote graphics.

Cheers,
Jakob
