[Problem with VIPM for linux]

First, I confirmed that the CentOS VM is using Xorg.

Using the openSUSE VM, I confirmed that the default x server is Xorg (echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE responds with x11).  I was unable to launch VIPM (unable to open x display).  Changing over to Wayland, I again received the same error message.

I will be posting this update over in the NI forums, in the Linux Users group.  Again, if anyone has suggestions, I would appreciate them.

I missed the part where you are using a VM for this. Are you accesing from a remote X session? If so, the root user will require some additoinal authorization to run GUI based applications in remote sessions.

Having followed all of the above suggestions, I am still unable to open VIPM.  When I run the command "sudo ./vipm" I get an error "Unable to open X display".  I am using openSUSE 15.1, and trying to use VIPM 2017 with LabVIEW 2017.

Any suggestions on how to run this one down?

Thank you!

This may be due to the Wayland X server. If you are using Wayland, try switching to the Xorg X server and see if the command works.
