Nope, I get: /sw/bin/xvfb-run: line 164: 25297 Trace/BPT trap XAUTHORITY=$AUTHFILE Xvfb ":$SERVERNUM" $XVFBARGS $LISTENTCP >> "$ERRORFILE" 2>&1 Xvfb failed to start even after removing my .Xauthority file. > If not, try editing /sw/var/lib/dpkg/info/image-oct362 as a superuser -- added .prerm to that > and change > > /sw/share/octave/3.6.2/image-1.0.15/octave-forge-prerm > > to > > xvfb-run /sw/share/octave/3.6.2/image-1.0.15/octave-forge-prerm and that worked -- many thanks! -- Viv ________________________________________________ Dr Viv Kendon http://quantum.leeds.ac.uk/~viv tel: +44 113 343 4864 Physics and Astronomy Quantum Information Group University of Leeds ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites.
