this was not a failure. I made the message more informative though.

this one is the failure. I tried something to make it work.

and pushed tag v0.7rc4

the test should pass without internet connection.

see:

you commented:

#MNE_SKIP_SAMPLE_DATASET_TESTS=true \
#  xvfb-run --auto-servernum --server-num=20 -s "-screen 0 1024x768x24
-ac +extension GLX +render -noreset" \
#  $(NOSETESTS) mne

which was "supposed" to do the job and also avoid failure when running
tests requiring X such as tests relying on mayavi if present.

the xvfb-run should not be in the Makefile.

let me know if tests pass now. If not I'll comment the test.

thanks again

Alex
