      Do you have X11 running on your device?

          @Asha You should know what is running on your device. What os and window manager is running on it? Do you use X11, framebuffer or something else?

              That X11 server is not running on your device I guess.

                As we already told you several time: you don't have an X server running.

                Please answer @jsulm questions about what graphical stack you are running on your board.

                  the running OS is debian.

                  i cross compiled qt ,i am running the executable in my laptop through board,i installed vnc software in my laptop ,in this vnc server i am able to see the output..but while connecting the display i am getting that error..

                  can i install vnc software in my beaglebone board,and after that executing that exe file ,can i get the output in display?

                      There is no need to do this if you want your app running on directly connected display! VNC is for REMOTE access.

                      "how to run that or how to enable that server on my board?" - simply install a desktop environment like XFCE/Gnome/... or at least a window manager, it will install X11 as well. But I'm wondering how you plan to use your device if you do not even know what is actually running there and what you actually want to use on the device?

                            There is no such thing. Debian is a Linux distribution and can be used with many different desktops and window manager.
                            What does

                            ps -e | grep X

                                  ps -e | grep X

                                  this command displays all process status which are running right..

                                  one more thing I want to clear,

                                  "I put sdcard in my board,and executing the qt application without connecting the display, then getting the same error Qxcb"

                                  but

                                  "without sdcard, I am executing the qt application ,then its asking

                                  Qvnc server created on port 5900"

                                  when I execute the VNC software in my host machine, I am able to see the output..

                                    you're running this command when the graphical desktop is shown?

                                    no,
                                    I run that command without the connecting display..
                                    ps -e | grep X

                                      I connected my board with display,

                                      And,I am able to see the graphical desktop on my display,

                                      while giving this command

                                      ps -e | grep X

                                      I got the result:

                                      1199 tty7 00:00:02 Xorg

                                      so what it means?

                                        So, now X server is running. But your app doesn't start, right?
                                        You get "Qxcb connection:could not connect to the display"?
                                        Do you start your app as root or normal user?

                                          @Asha in addition to @jsulm question,

                                          Do you start your app as root or normal user?

                                          How are you starting your application:
                                          Do you have a physical keyboard attached to the board?
                                          Or do you connect to the board from PC with a SSH session?
