You never give sufficient details for anyone to be of much help.
You don't say how your are starting it or the environment. But you are apparently
starting it from a session which has no connection to a DISPLAY.
Example....
[egreshko@meimei ~]$ env | grep DISPLAY
DISPLAY=:0
[egreshko@meimei ~]$ /usr/bin/gnome-terminal
[egreshko@meimei ~]$ echo $?
0
Starts just fine...
If I set DISPLAY properly
DISPLAY=:0
echo $?
0
I get:
Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 keyUnable to init server: Could not connect: Connection
refused
Failed to parse arguments: Cannot open display:
echo $?
1
