X11 problem

I am having this error when trying to install Oracle 10 on Fedora Core.
I googled all over the net but no fix.
I worked on DISPLAY settings, changed hostname to ip
I did everything that I could do but nothing helped. It is driving me krazy. I just want to start working on my database. I am not a Linux guru nor a big fan.
Thanks in advance.

Well I resolved this problem by going to:
System-Administration-Logical Volume Management a nice gui thing.
I did choose VolgVol00 under VolGroup00 - Edit properties -Use remaining -Mount point /
then I pushed the slide to the end.
All is fine now, I installed Oracle without problem.

Can you help me please. I did a lot of searches but I still am unable to fix this.
It has something to do with the env, but I dont know how to go about it.

  • Inkscape/X11 Problems with external Monitor

    Hello,
    I´m using Inkscape to create vector art on my MacBook Pro.
    Since my update to Mavericks I´m having problems with X11. I have the version 2.7.5 of XQuartz installed currently.
    After some troubles, Inkscape opens up just fine.
    But I cannot drag Inkscape over to my external monitor, which is based to the right of my notebook.
    Inkscape simply disappears.
    I´m quite the DAU ;-) with Computers and Software, so it would be nice, if you can help me.
    Thanks a lot in advance!
    Best,
    Sonja

    How about trying a native Mac app like iDraw http://www.indeeo.com/idraw/

  • X11 problem after upgrade to Snow Leopard - keyboard unresponsive

    I have just upgraded to Snow Leopard from Tiger.
    I use Sun's Secure Global Desktop native client which runs using X11. It worked fine under Tiger, but since the upgrade it isn't working - the native client starts up (and starts the X server), it responds to the trackpad and I can focus on the login box, but when I type nothing shows up, so I can't log in!
    I installed X11 with Snow Leopard and as far as I can tell it is running OK - Gimp seems to work. The SGD native client log says this:
    Smart card library loaded: /System/Library/Frameworks/PCSC.framework/PCSC
    Smart card support failed to initialize (0x8010001d)
    Server version 4 3 0 915
    Client version 4 2 0 983
    Info: local X server available
    Any assistance would be very gratefully received.

    If other X11 apps are working except this one, then perhaps it's incompatible with Snow. To see if this is the case I would suggest installing Snow on a freshly erased drive (could be an external or other internal) and see if the problem is fixed. Could be the result of upgrading. You did upgrade Leopard, not Tiger, right? Can't do the latter without first upgrading to Leopard.

  • X11 problem after upgrade

    Hi. I just upgraded from 10.3.9 to 10.4.5, and am having problems running X11 applications. First, during the upgrade, I chose to update X11, and afterwards installed Xcode.
    When I open a terminal, and set the display, running an application like xeyes gives me the error
    _X11TransSocketINETConnect() can't get address for 0:6000: No address associated with nodename
    Error: Can't open display: 0:0
    However, if I open an xterm from the X11 application menu, and then run xeyes, it works fine.
    I've searched on the web, and ran into a few people complaining, but I haven't found the solution. Any ideas?

    How do you set the display? "0:0" is wrong. It should be ".0".

  • X11 Problems - Apps wont engage after startup

    Hi folks,
    I've updated my X11. The first step was to download the newest Developer Kit and then I've updated X11 via "Software Update"
    Changes:
    Open Office 2.04 was running on the "old" X11, on the new, it loads up to the half, then it stops loading, the loading-buttons shuts down and the program OpenOffice is'nt any longer shown as "active".
    So, what did I made wrong?
    Never change a running system. Solving this problem might help a few thousand mac users out there using OpenOffice

    hi Sheva,
    this is becoming a well-known problem.... it has to do w/ some specific fonts.
    http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=71096
    try this from Applications > Utilities > Terminal...
    sudo mkdir -p /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF_bad
    then
    sudo mv /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/Vera*.ttf /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF_bad
    you will need to enter your admin password after each command...
    post back if it didn't help...

  • Serious X11 Problems - Reinstalling X11 made things far worse - PLEASE hel

    I was trying to run Darwine and I got an error that said "_X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: path too long", so after trying to find some info and finding nothing useful, I decided the easiest thing to do would be to reinstall X11 from the Leopard DVD. Well, now I have a COMPLETELY broken copy of X11 that REFUSES to start, and yet I can see the icon flash and disappear in the dock every 5 seconds like it's trying to autostart constantly. GIMP is broken (plus an old Release Candidate version seems to try to open up THREE copies of X11 and yet fails to start), Inkscape is broken, Darwine is still broken, and I'm REALLY mad.
    How do I fix this?

    Well, I followed the instructions on http://forums.macosxhints.com/showthread.php?t=80171&page=3 (the last post) and it worked great, but now when I start any X11 application it opens up 2 copies of X11, one of which I can quit, one of which actually is running the app. Also, Darwine and the Gimp Release Candidate work, but the latest version of Gimp from Wilber-Loves-Apple, as well as Inkscape, don't work. I think there was a patch for X11 that I installed for these long ago, but I can't remember how I fixed it.

  • X11 problems

    Hi,
    I am trying to start magicdraw on my Mandrake machine running WL8.1 SP3 using their API. I am trying to start it from a Bean which i have deployed.
    I receive the error "Can't connect to X11 window server using ':0.0"
    The API does not support headless mode.
    I have tried doing the following:
    in /etc/profile, i set
    X :50 &
    export DISPLAY=localhost:50.0
    then i do an "init 1" and an "init 3" to restart everything.
    so i would expect that since Weblogic is started by root, that i would have screen 50 available for X Windows apps.
    However, no matter how i try to set environment variables, it always says "Can't connect to X11 window server using ':0.0"
    Where is Weblogic reading this value from?
    Thanks for any help!
    Michael

    Not sure about where it is reading the DISPLAY env variable, but the spec
    prohibits creating a UI from within an ejb. So, what you are trying may not
    be possible.

  • Snow Leopard 10.6.2 can't run 'X11.app' (with system log)

    Hello everyone, English is not my mother tongue so may not be exactly correct, sorry about that.
    Background:
    I have a MacBook White (13-inch, Mid 2009) that isn't unibody, and was running Leopard 10.5.
    I am the only one that will use the Mac and my user account is as the 'admin'.
    When I was using 10.5, I could open the 'X11.app'.
    But few days ago, I did a clean installation of 10.6.2 Snow Leopard from the USD$29 disc.
    After that I installed the iLife '09 (the gray disc bundled with the MacBook),
    and I cloned the drive to my ext. FireWire HD immediately after the installation of SL and iLife'09 by using the CCC (Carbon Copy Cloner).
    After that, of course, I was going to install the apps I need, and update the software.
    _But the problem appears:_
    When I try to open the 'X11.app', the X11 icon begins jumping on the Dock, but nothing happens.
    Jumping and jumping... finally, it doesn't jump any more, with just the X11 icon on the dock.
    What's more, there is no white dot under the icon, which means the app isn't running at the moment.
    I right-clicked the icon, it shows me 'application not responding'.
    So, I open the *Activity Monitor*, and I can see there are two apps related to X11 are running:
    (1) X11
    (2) X11.bin
    Please see below for the system log (around 1min. log, starting with the time when I open the X11)

    As I've said, I have a clone of 10.6.2 on my ext. FireWire HD.
    So I've tried to boot the MacBook with the key 'option' pressed in order to boot from the clone.
    What surprises me is that I can open the X11 without any problem.
    And I've tried to open a new user account to test.
    Even if the account isn't 'admin', the X11 can be opened too.
    What this phenomenon tells me is that maybe there is an app(s) that I installed will make the X11 not open.
    I've Googled the problem and tried the following methods:
    (1) Reinstall the X11 from the Snow Leopard disc.
    (2) Log in as the 'root' user, go to *System Preferences* to create a temporary account (e.g. named 'test') so that I can delete my current account (e.g. named 'User') (I copied the UUID and pasted it into TextEdit, saving it on my different partition of ext. FireWire HD.). Then I open a new account with the same username (named 'User') and paste the UUID I previously saved to the newly created account (named 'User'), and then redirect the home folder path to the original home folder (the account named 'User' that I deleted).
    (3) Create an account for testing (e.g. named 'test'), set it as admin. Then log in as the 'root' user, to use 'ditto' command in Terminal to copy my home folder to the account named 'test'. After that, I make the account for testing (account name 'test') have the permission to read and write the files by pressing 'command + I' the home folder, and then set the user 'test' having the permission to read and write and apply this to all the enclosed folder.
    NONE of the above has worked.
    So what can I do in order to make my X11.app work again?
    Thanks in advance!!

    But you have it running in the other account. With X11 problems, this is as easy as it gets.
    I hope this problem can be solved soon...
    Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure you are going to have to use the Terminal.
    I see, thanks for the info.! (I am new to the Mac since 2009 )
    The only one that would cause any problem by being removed is ".Trash". You don't have any of the other files that Bob is talking about. It would be annoying for any heavy Terminal user to lose those dot files, but perfectly safe.
    There is no need to even attempt to backup anything in /tmp.
    Thanks for the info.!
    Try this. In System Preferences, select Sharing and enable "Remote Login". Login to that Standard user who can run X11 with no problem. Then, just as a test, run "ssh <mainuser>@localhost". Verify that you are in the home directory of the user with the X11 problems. Don't do anything yet. Just type 'exit' to logout.
    Reboot your machine. Login as the Standard User. Run "ssh <mainuser>@localhost" again. This time, run the "rm .<somefile>" on all those dot files (except for .Trash and maybe .CFUserEncoding). This time they should all stay deleted. Follow Bob's advice too and do "rm Library/Preferences/org.x.X11.plist". Type "cd /tmp" and delete everything you can find in there. You can't do any damage there. Type "exit" to quit the ssh session.
    Now logout of the standard user and log back in to your primary user and try it again.
    I am now at the standard account called 'test' and browse this web page using Safari through Wi-Fi.
    4 things:
    .bash_history
    .DS_Store
    .fontconfig
    .Xauthority
    ==========
    With the '.fontconfig', I can't delete it from the Terminal:
    +Michael-Leungs-MacBook:~ Michael$ rm .fontconfig+
    _+rm: .fontconfig: is a directory+_
    (At this moment, I Googled the 'rm' command and found these web pages:
    http://ss64.com/osx/
    http://newsourcemedia.com/blog/basic-terminal-commands/
    That's why I try the 'rmdir' and 'sudo rm'.
    But NONE of these command helps)
    +Michael-Leungs-MacBook:~ Michael$ rmdir .fontconfig+
    _+rmdir: .fontconfig: Directory not empty+_
    +Michael-Leungs-MacBook:~ Michael$ sudo rm .fontconfig+
    +WARNING: Improper use of the sudo command could lead to data loss+

  • Openoffice 2.3.1 won't launch with X11 2.1.1 under Leopard 10.5.2

    Hi,
    I have noticed that with every version of X11 > 2.1.1, Openoffice won't start.
    It does launch, but nothing happens.
    Removing the X11 versions 2.1.2, 2.1.3 or 2.1.4 in a "clean manner" via Appdelete and then re-installing X11 2.1.1 makes Openoffice starting and working again.
    GIMP and Inkscape are not affected since they fully work with all X11 versions mentionned.
    Don't know the reason for this problem.
    However, since it is related to the version of X11, this must be a X11 bug.
    P.S. see also this thread : http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1389757&tstart=0

    I've just tested the following thing :
    Clean deinstall X11 2.1.1 and Openoffice 2.3.1 with Appdelete.
    Install X11 2.1.4 (latest)
    Reboot
    Install Openoffice 2.4.0RC4
    Same problem.
    X11 works fine with GIMP or Inkscape.
    OOo launches, but does not start at all.
    So this is truly a X11 problem.
    Worse : the supposely fixed "Command timed out" window error that shows up at OOo launch is still here...

  • X11 won't display UTF-8 characters (using Kbabel)

    Hello everyone
    Boy, the discussion lists have changed! Forums are a good idea, though.
    I'm a volunteer open-source translator, and the most effective translation editor for us is Kbabel. (LocFactoryEditor [1] for OSX is very good, though. I use it continually, and BBEdit [2] for CVS/SVN management of translation files.)
    When I installed Kbabel, everything went OK, but when I tried to open a PO (Portable Object, translation file format, basically a text file) file, the translations in my language (Vietnamese) were just gibberish. None of the accented characters displayed correctly. Since my language is pretty much all accented characters, this was a critical problem. Characters entered had the same problem. No readable data in, no readable data out, no translation possible.
    I had set my X11 prefs to inherit my keyboard choice, and had chosen the right keyboard. I have Lucida Grande set as my default font, and it handles Vietnamese very well.
    This was months ago. I reported it as a bug against Kbabel, but with investigation, we found it was an X11 problem. I was told at the time (sorry, I can't remember the reference) that this was a known X11 bug, which Apple had not yet fixed. Judging by the continuing mess when I try to use Kbabel now, it hasn't been fixed.
    How do we track bugs reported to Apple, or continuing problems of this type? Do you think this is really the problem, or is there another way to solve it?
    Any help very much appreciated.

    I would suggest you repeat your query in the unix forum, where the experts on such stuff are more likely found, and where there have been other threads about using accented chars in terminal, etc.

  • Can't connect to X11 window server using ':0.0' as the value of the DISPLAY variable.

    A Java AWT, X11 problem posted in the weblogic ejb newsgroup. I haven't been in here for long, but
    that has to be a first.
    If you have the DISPLAY env variable set to :0.0, you have to be at the console on a Solaris box
    running the XServer. 'xdm' I think is the code that has to be running. Also, I think the format is
    <hostname:0.0> or better <hostname:0> unless you are on a multi-headed workstation. Something like:
    export DISPLAY=hostname:0
    where hostname is the name of the host running an XServer and the .xhosts file allows access to the
    XServer from the display client.
    Apparently, you are not at the console?
    Anyway, I don't think there is a newsgroup here that I could even recommend to cross-post this to as
    it is not a WebLogic question. I think I would try the Discussion Forums at http://java.sun.com.

  • X11 and Gimp won't start

    Hello all.
    First of all, sorry if this is in the wrong section, I wasn't quite sure where to post this, seeing as X11, which i'm having problems with is a utility, I thought this might be the right place to post (it says about 'utilities' in the forum descriptions afterall).
    Anyway, I seem to be having a problem with the X11 utility, which I installed off of the OS X DVD (from the 'optional installs' package), and a problem with The Gimp, both of which i think are probably related.
    Well I installed The Gimp a while ago, aswell as the X11 program, and both worked fine (you probably already know that The Gimp needs X11 to run). But at some point, it suddenly stopped working. I think it may have been after an update, but I really can't remember.
    The problem I was having with The Gimp is that it would go to start up, but just after the X11 icon appeared in the dock, the cursor would change to an X for a few seconds. The splash screen would come up, but it didn't even appear to have a background or progress bar or anything, and didn't do anything.
    At that point, just running X11 on it's own, or OpenOffice.org worked fine.
    Well recently, i've tried to run The Gimp again, and something different happens. The X11 icon comes up and starts bouncing in the dock, but after a few seconds, it closes again, and The Gimp tells me that it needs X11 to run (which I already have of course).
    When I try to run X11 on it's own, the same thing happens. The icon comes up in the dock, starts bouncing, then goes again.
    I've used the Console program in the Utilities folder, and both times, for both problems (when The Gimp had the funny splash screen and wouldn't start, when it wouldn't start up at all, and when X11 wouldn't start), I get the same few lines which might help, these are below:
    XFree86 Version 4.4.0 / X Window System
    (protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6600)
    _XSERVTransmkdir: Owner of /tmp/.X11-unix should be set to root
    [DRI] screen 0 installation complete
    Screen 0 added: 1280x1024 @ (0,0)
    Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/CID/, removing from list!
    Quitting XDarwin...
    So now, I have The Gimp that doesn't work, X11 that doesn't work, and OpenOffice.org doesn't work either (same problem where X11 quits), which is rather annoying, since I could do with using The Gimp.
    I hope that explains my problem a bit, and I hope someone can help me sort it out. Thanks in advance for any help

    For the problem with /tmp you might see if there is any useful information in this discussion. I've seen a couple of other people with a problem involving /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/CID. Don't know what the scoop is on that. The directory is supposed to have two files: fonts.dir and fonts.scale. If you have the CID directory and it has the required files I'm afraid I don't know what else would need to be done, although running Repair Permissions from Disk Utility is something you might try. It doesn't hurt, might help, and shouldn't take too long. You might also try posting your problem in the UNIX discussions. You're more likely to attract the attention of people familiar with X11 problems and solutions in that forum.

  • [SOLVED?] Problem with multi key macros in emacs

    I recently made the switch from gentoo to arch, for the most part everything is up and working. The only thing I am having a problem with is GNU emacs, for some reason i can't use some macros that need more than 2 keys to be pressed. For example M-< will not work but for some reason C-_ will. I haven't got the faintest clue as to what the problem is. I am running xfce and using the us keyboard layout. If i run emacs outside of X than all the macros work fine. Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance.

    seeing as this problem persists in both the terminal and gui versions i don't think that is possible. I also tried running both versions in twm to see if anything was different. The keys still aren't seen correctly but this time they are replaced with random characters that are not part of my keymap. An X11 problem or keyboard configuration problem?
