Hello all,
I'm fairly new to Java and just as new to Linux (however I've worked
on most varieties Unix over the past ten years).
I have a desire to run a Java application on my Redhat 6.1 and Suse
6.3 servers that I want to start up at machine boot. I have been on this
news group for a couple of months and have seen some communications about
Xvfb being the utility to use. The java app seems to need and want X up and
running and that I can understand to a point. So having installed the
XFree86 Xvfb 3.3.5 rpm and modified my /etc/rc.d/init script to start both
my Java app and the Xvfb process, I have failed in getting them to run. I
have set the DISPLAY variable (and exported it) in the script to any one of
the following ':0', ':1', ':2' and for a wild shot ':15' (as was mentioned
in an earlier email on this subject). At each point I matched the argument
that Xvfb required. Of these three different parameters I get a variety of
errors, namely
i) _X11TransSocketUnixConnect errors
ii) Can't connect to X11 using ':2'
and iii) could not open default font 'fixed' from Xvfb
stderr
Now I thought I was on to it with the final one but for the life of
me I could not find the named font when I added '-fp' arguments to the
startup line of the Xvfb process.
So to conclude can anyone enlighten this humble soul who's been
banging his head against the wall for far too long.
Thanks in advance!!
Ian
