The three font paths you list should already be in the font path generated by vncserver. Are you sure the fixed font is installed? On Fedora, for instance, you have to install an additional RPM to get that font, and it isn't always installed by default. Does this issue also occur with the TurboVNC 1.0.2 server? > The server starts ok, but the window manager (either twm or fvwm) does > not stay running and prints this error message: > > xcb_io.c:507: _XReply: Assertion `!dpy->xcb->reply_data' failed. Fixed in SVN and new build spun: http://www.virtualgl.org/DeveloperInfo/PreReleases Note that twm didn't work with TurboVNC 1.0.x either, but it failed differently. The root cause of the failure in 1.1 beta was that I had failed to merge in the updated version of the XListFonts() procedure from xf4vnc, which was necessary to match our newly updated libXfont that includes FreeType support. I suspect that the problem in 1.0.x was simply that we didn't have FreeType support, so it couldn't load a font it needed (specifically Helvetica.) > When running Xvnc on either OpenSuse 12.1 or CentOS 6.2, I start an xterm > directed to the VNC server display, and it pops up in the viewer (with the > shell prompt displayed correctly). However, typing a return in the xterm > window causes an immediate exit of the TurboVNC 1.1beta vncviewer. Fixed in SVN and the new build above. The issue here was two-fold. The TurboVNC Server was not properly encoding empty cursors, and the Unix TurboVNC Viewer was not properly handling this misencoding. The viewer now properly handles the empty cursors, whether encoded correctly or incorrectly, and the server now encodes them correctly. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Keep Your Developer Skills Current with LearnDevNow!
