QPixmap: Cannot create a QPixmap when no GUI is being used

NotionCommotion · 08-22-2012, 07:30 PM

I am trying to convert HTML to an image. wkhtmltopdf works great to convert them to PDFs. The sister product wkhtmltoimage, however, is driving me crazy.

With both wkhtmltoimage-amd64 and wkhtmltoimage-i38, images created by JavaScript are not included in the image, and I get the following errors:

Code:

[root@localhost bin]# /usr/bin/wkhtmltoimage-amd64 http://www.highcharts.com/demo/area-basic test.jpg
Loading page (1/2)
QPixmap: Cannot create a QPixmap when no GUI is being used   ] 89%
Segmentation fault
[root@localhost bin]#

The wkhtmltopdf which is working is version 0.9.9, and was installed using http://www.amberdms.com/?cms=opensou...x_repositories.

The wkhtmltoimage which isn't working is version 0.11.0_rc1 Linux Static Binary (amd64) and was installed using a static binary found at wkhtmltopdf.

My operating system is Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.18-308.11.1.el5 #1 SMP Tue Jul 10 08:48:43 EDT 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Please provide any suggestions.

Thank you

I just tried the wkhtmltopdf-0.11.0_rc1 Linux Static Binary (amd64) located at http://code.google.com/p/wkhtmltopdf...-amd64.tar.bz2, and get the same errors as when using wkhtmltoimage.

Why an older version using the amberdms repos works, I do not know, but it does.

Maybe I can install wkhtmltoimage from source, but I am a little over my head.

Any help getting wkhtmltoimage working will be very appreciated.
