manza7 Posted July 18, 2004 Report Share Posted July 18, 2004 I have a Linux file server (Mandrake 9.1) sitting in a network closet with no keyboard and mouse, I use Win32 VNC viewer to access from my W2K desktop so I can setup cron jobs, start Mozilla to download files etc. Most of the stuff I want to do works fine except when try to launch kwrite or kate, all I got is opening screen flashes and disappears. I also cannot view any text file in Nautilus, when I click "Open" all I get is "Application "nautilus-text-view" (process 1901) has crashed due to a fatal error. (Floating point exception)" Seemed to me the system does not know where to display.. I launch the vncserver in a linux command window "vncserver :1" Then I use vncviewer with 192.168.1.xx:1 to launch from W2K desktop to access Linux server Please help.. Thanks [moved from Software by spinynorman] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aRTee Posted July 20, 2004 Report Share Posted July 20, 2004 Can you open a terminal window inside the vnc session? Then start some of these non-functional apps and report the error message... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulSe Posted July 20, 2004 Report Share Posted July 20, 2004 You could try associating another text-viewer (like gedit/kedit) in nautilus instead of using the built-in one as a quick-fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manza7 Posted July 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 Unfortunately, I am not sure how to change the file association. As for the error message, thanks for the suggestion to run in a terminal window, I was trying hard to figure out how to see error messages. Here is what I got: sh-2.05b$ kwrite Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":1.0". Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":1.0". Xlib: extension "RENDER" missing on display ":1.0". sh-2.05b$ kate kbuildsycoca running... Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":1.0". Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":1.0". Xlib: extension "RENDER" missing on display ":1.0". Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":1.0". Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":1.0". Xlib: extension "RENDER" missing on display ":1.0". DCOP aborting call from 'anonymous-21047' to 'kate' ERROR: KUniqueApplication: DCOP communication error! sh-2.05b$ Mutex destroy failure: Device or resource busy I am not familiar what the messages meant though, anu help is much appreciated. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwiftDeath Posted July 21, 2004 Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 You should use ssh, I found it easier to use. It'll also run programs on your screen after you login and execute them their. You can start ssh by going ssh ipaddress. I have no clue how to do this in windows though. I think you'll need to use a program like PUTTY, or something.
