[yocto] Segmentation fault with "hob"-command (now no html)

[Siegfried]

Hello Dexuan,

thank you fort hat hint.
The problem was that I was working as "root" and did a "su - <user>".
Doing that the environment seems to be different to a normal login.
I've played around with the "DISPLAY" environment variable and "xhost".
Now it works. Trying to start "hob" as normal user works without any
intervention.

Thanks again,

Siegfried
