Hi all, I am trying to use the jmeter gui but being on Ubuntu 8.04 - the Hardy Heron there are some known issues with starting java apps.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libxcb/+bug/185311 Bottom line is that after fixing some issues I now got back jmeter. For the record and to save the time of my fellow developers, here what I did. 1) Go to http://people.ubuntu.com/~bryce/Testing/libx11/ and download a) libx11-6_1.1.3-1ubuntu2~noxcb_i386.deb b) libx11-6-dbg_1.1.3-1ubuntu2~noxcb_i386.deb c) libx11-dev_1.1.3-1ubuntu2~noxcb_i386.deb 2) Install in the same order as you downloaded. E.g. a) with: dpkg -i libx11-6_1.1.3-1ubuntu2~noxcb_i386.deb 3) Edit you bash profile vi ~/.bashrc and add: export LIBXCB_ALLOW_SLOPPY_LOCK=1 That should do it and you can use jmeter as usual from here on (I actually did a restart of the system, you may need to do the same). HTH and serves a future reference to fix the problem. salu2 -- Thorsten Scherler thorsten.at.apache.org Open Source Java consulting, training and solutions --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
