Re: [Avogadro-Discuss] avogadro crashes X on ubuntu 14 under vnc

2015-04-20 Thread Marcus D. Hanwell
Hi Ron,

What VNC server/client are you trying to use? I have Ubuntu 14.04 and
could try to replicate, I would expect this to work with VNC, the
major complication is often getting a good OpenGL context but VNC
usually does rendering on the server-side and simplifies this.

Thanks,

Marcus

 every xserver I could find and every version of xstartup I could find.
 The whole vnc client crashes when I try just avogadro.

 After a crash the vnc log file shows:

 Thu Apr 16 23:46:04 2015
  Connections: accepted: 0.0.0.0::51330
  SConnection: Client needs protocol version 3.8
  SConnection: Client requests security type VncAuth(2)
  VNCSConnST:  Server default pixel format depth 16 (16bpp) little-endian

 XIO:  fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server :16
   after 172 requests (172 known processed) with 0 events remaining.

 If I run avogadro -h under vnc I see (and it does not crash the server):

 avogadro -h
 Xlib:  extension XInputExtension missing on display :16.
 Avogadro version: 1.1.1 Git: 5e4d1f7
 LibAvogadro version: 1.1.1 Git: 5e4d1f7
 Locale:  en_GB
 Translation successfully loaded.
 Usage: avogadro [options] [files]

 Avogadro - Advanced Molecular Editor (version 1.1.1)

 Options:
   -h, --help Show help options (this)
   -v, --version Show version information

 So there are too symptoms--the XIO crash and the
 Xlib:  extension XInputExtension missing on display :16.

 Neither of these happen on the console or a regular sh -X session.

 I really need to get this working under vnc, so if anyone has any
 ideas or experience with this I would greatly appreciate it!

 Thank you!

 Sincerely,

 Ron

Re: [Avogadro-Discuss] avogadro crashes X on ubuntu 14 under vnc

2015-04-20 Thread Cohen, Ronald
I have tried everything, but mainly vnc4server and tightvncserver as
servers, and jollysfastvnc as the client. Note however it seems that X
server crashes, not just VNC and not the client. Even with a bug it
seems only the program should crash, not everything. I found it works
fine with NX (nomachine), but that is expensive. It is completely
reproducible--it never works under regular vnc. Ron
