Help : Cannot launch Konqueror when connect thru VNC

[manza7]

New to Mandrake & Linux, with help from kind hearts in this forum, I setup my Linux server, ran Vncserver and am able to access the server using vnc viewer from W2K PCs using 192.168.x.x:1 as instructed, however, when I try using konqueror, I get the below:

 

[xmen@comp xmen]$ kdesu konqueror

Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":1.0".

Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":1.0".

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".

[xmen@comp xmen]$ Mutex destroy failure: Device or resource busy

 

Try regular konqueror without kdesu, same thing.

 

Aother strange thing, when I click logout, I do not have options to shutdown or restart any more only logoff and save configuration?

 

Please help... Thanks

:(

Can you post the contents of the /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file?

There it is. I don't think the stock nv driver for nvidia supports glx. You can either comment out the Load "glx" line or grab the official NVidia driver from nvidia.com and install it and change

 

Driver "nv"

 

to

 

Driver "nvidia"

[MottS]

If you wanna install the nVidia driver, look at our FAQ:

OK, thanks for the pointers, I will try later.

 

Curious, does this have anything to do with VNC to the server, I had no problem using Konqueror/Kdwrite without VNC (i.e. directly connected to the server with Monitor rather than VNC into the server and launch)??

 

Why is the graphic card driver not an issue when connected directly?

 

Thanks :?:

[manza7]

I loaded the Nvidia driver per Motts link, same result in VNC, cannot do Konqueror or Kdwrite, but both work fine not thru VNC..

 

Any help is much appreciated.

 

Thanks

[manza7]

Can someone please help with this? Puzzle me....

 

Thanks

[MottS]

Did you try mozilla?

[manza7]

I gave up and since I had other problem and needed to add another harddrive, I decided to reload MD.

 

Everything seems fine except now when I try to VNC from any W2K machine, (192.168.x.x:1), I got the Linux hour glass and desktop screen but nothing else (no icons of anythng, no error message)

 

The file in /etc/sysconfig/vncserver has the vncservers 1:user in it and Vncserver is loaded at boot, NVIDIA driver is loaded and tested.

 

Mozilla - same result.

 

If I launch VNCserver as root in console (Vncserver :1), then it works but not when logged in as any other user..

 

Any thoughts?
