Gedit via remote X causes crash

I have experienced some odd behavior when running ssh -X from my Solaris 9 x86 and connecting to a Redhat 8 x86 machine. If I run xclock, emacs or other non-GTK+ and non-Qt based GUI applications everything works fine. When I try to run a GTK+ based application such as gedit or gnome-terminal, as soon as I hit enter in my remote terminal to launch the application on the Redhat 8 with it's display piped through ssh to my Solaris, the Solaris X session drops me back to my Solaris graphical logon. Another application I tested is umbrello, which is Qt based. This doesn't crash my local X session but it does given an error from Xlib that GLX is not available.
Before this I had believed that the X protocol was standardized and that any X program on any UNIX could be remote displayed on another X session on any other UNIX via ssh. Is this not the case? What factors needs to be compatible for an X program to run on one UNIX and display on another?
Also, before installing Solaris 9 x86 on this machine (a Dell Optiplex) it was running Redhat 9 x86 and when using that remote displaying these applications did not cause any problems.

  • Managing apps via iTunes 12 causes crash

    When installing apps via iTunes 12, opening the graphic view of the destination page and either clicking on the "install" button for the app or attempting to drag the icon from the list to the desired page on the device usually causes iTunes itself to crash. The destination page has been doubled-clicked and in the forefront before attempting the install.  This happens both with a direct USB connection and when synching over Wi-Fi.
    Two actions which sometimes seem to help are:
    Synching before any rearranging or installing an app on a page, and
    Using the scrollbar on the Apps list which seems to force more (all?) of the app icons to be displayed.
    Probably not relevant, but I've also found that entering a portion of a file name in the Find field at the top of the Apps list often misses app names which don't appear until more than the text of the title is typed in.  For example, I have the app "Listacular" which will display as found (along with 19 other apps) if I enter the text "list" in the search field, but not if I only enter "lis" for which only 3 apps are returned.
    I'm wondering if this is a Yosemite issue since, for example, I do not get the "Do Not Disturb" option at the top of Notification Center until I've done a scrolling action on my "Today" list? Scroll = Swipe to Refresh?
    I don't recall this ever happening with the prior version of iTunes.
    I can rearrange the app's page location on the device itself, but through iTunes should be more efficient. 

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
    In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the name of the crashed application or process. For example, if Safari crashed, you would enter "Safari" (without the quotes.)
    Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    ☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
    Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
    ☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    In the Console window, select
              DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ User Diagnostic Reports
    (not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of crash reports. The name of each report starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report related to the process in question. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
    I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
    If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
    In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
    Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

  • HT5704 Hi, Two recent updates for my iPhone have caused crashes (down the white lead via iTunes).I have "fixed" but not sure of the cause?

    Hi,
    Two recent updates for my iPhone have caused crashes (down the white lead) via iTunes.
    I have "fixed" but I don't know the cause?
    Each time the update does n't complete.
    The download does n't happen.
    The computer & internet connection are good.
    It is as if the Apple server does n't complete?
    The phone stays in recovery mode, until you reset and rebuild in iTunes.
    All software is up to date, but I can't find the cause
    ANY IDEAS?
    Regards,
    P.
    <Email Edited by Host>

    No error messages.
    It just fails to complete the download, so recovery mode is the next step.
    This can be over a period of eight hours or more!
    I have so many (original) Apple USB leads that I would n't know if I have been using the same one (if it was faulty).
    Does this sound like a "common" problem?

  • Remote panels - Client Crashes Situation

    Hello,
    I would like to ask if someone can help me with the following situation.
    I have an application which contains a top level VI and several other dialog VIs. This application can be accessed by a remote client via Remote Panels. From the top level VI (contains the menu - while loop and event structure) the client selects what he want to run. Then the front panel of his choice opens on his computer. It all runs ok.
    However, if the client computer suddenly loses internet connectivity, then the Run Time Engine reports a plugin crash in the browser.
    On the server side, all opened apps seem to freeze. I can turn them off one by one and then restart everything again.
    Could anyone let me know how to approach this issue? I would like the client, in case a crash happens, to be able to reconnect to the application.
    Thank you and have a nice day.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hello and thank you for the reply,
    On the server side I am using Labview2011 with SP1, under WinXP.
    On the client computer, Run Time Engine 2011, Chrome under WinXP.
    The server is situated in a laboratory and it should work on its own, 24/7, without my intervention for taking control of the app.
    So now, I have considered the scenario when a client connects to the application, starts running it and after a while he will use the Windows Task Manager to end the application, without considering the normal options which are available in the menu. In this case, in the browser I would get Image1. Basically the client will have to connect again to the server. On the server side, I have inserted a state where I check to see if there are any remote clients connected to my application. If no client are connected, then it closes. So as the client kills the task, imediatelly my server stops the application. So this is solved and works fine.
    The second scenario is when a client does not close the application even when his time allocation has reached 0 minutes. Again, the server checks this time limit and it closes the client connection. For this, I have used in a case, the code presented as Image2. If this situation occurs, the client is disconnected and he
    gets the Image 3 message on the browser. This error appears twice and each time the client presses Continue. In the end the server takes control and it is all ok.
    However, what might cause this error? Is there a chance to fix it? I couldn't find any reference to it and the Remote Panels.
    Thank you and have a nice day.

  • RDP via remote web workspace from Server 2012 R2 Essentials on Win 8 Client unable to connect to local printer.

    Hi,
    Having an issue redirecting to a local printer when using a remote desktop session initiated through from a Essentials 2012 R2 server via remote web workspace on a Win 8.1 client, it doesn't pick up the Local printer, or even give the option of which
    local resources to use on connection, just goes straight through and displays the remote desktop on connection.
    I know its not a server global policy issue as it works fine on a Win 7 client with the same user being able to print locally whilst in a RD session
    Any idea's as to how I can resolve this issue and enable local redirected printing or at least give me the options of specifiying which resources to connect on the local machine at the start of a session.
    It's complicated I think as the essentials box is acting as the gateway so I cannot setup a session directly, the certificates are all working correctly so I am confused as to whats causing the issue.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi,
    Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
    Please try to connect the printer with IP address and check the result. You can go through beneath article might helpful in your case.

  • IPhone and iPad cannot connect via Remote to iTunes

    I updated iTunes yesterday and today none of our iPhones or iPads can see the itunes library via Remote. I've gone through the troubleshooting. The best result I got was to get the icon to reappear on remote's devices list. But it won't connect when I select it. Eventually it stops looking and I get this message "Remote can't connect to your iTunes library. Check your network settings and try again." I've checked all the settings on all the devices. I've logged out and back in. I turned the router off and back on. I've turned home sharing off and back on. Network seems to be working fine for everything else. I have not checked if my Apple TV will work or not.
    Any other ideas?
    Thanks

    Fixed the problem - all I needed to do was power cycle my router. Schoolboy error!

  • Problems conencting via Remote Desktop Connection to a server

    hello! i have a problem connecting to one of our servers via Remote Desktop Connection. The story goes like this: the server works fine, i can connect using my credentials with no problems, the firewall is up. But, when i restart the server, after loading
    windows, the server wont respond. I try to ping its IP Address and no respond. The only way so far to fix this bug is to log on localy (without remote) and disable the Windows firewall. Instantly the server starts to respond and i can connect to it via remote
    desktop conenction. If i restart the server, the problem appears again and the solution to it this time is to enable the windows firewall back again. This enable/disable firewall thing doesnt seem right. Does anyone have any idea?
    thank you!

    Hi Dede,
    Your box is up to date with windows updates.
    Witch windows server are you using?
    Maybe review the firewall exceptions.

  • Windows 8 PC not able to remote desktop via Remote Web Access

    Windows 8.1 PCs cannot initiate a Remote Desktop session to Windows 7 PCs via Remote Web Access running on Windows Server 2012 Essentials.  The Windows 8.1 PC can Remote Desktop to the Windows 7 PC by IP using a VPN, and can connect using
    the "Remote Desktop to the Computer" option under Devices in the WSE Dashboard.
    All PCs and the server have all Windows updates applied.  Specificallly, the Windows 7 PC has KB2574819 is installed and the RDP Policy 8.0 has been activated using local group policy.  NLA is not active.
    Given that direct Remote Desktop connections work OK but not RDP proxy session, it would appear that the problem has to do with the RD Proxy on Windows Server Essentials.
    Is anyone else experiencing this problem?  Does anyone have any troubleshooting tips on how to trace this problem down?

    Hi,
    Please check if there is any error in the remote desktop service log both on the Windows 8.1 client and server sides. You can find the log under Applications and Services logs – Microsoft
    – Windows – TerminalServices.
    Thanks.

  • Photoshop CS4 and graphic cards. Can cause crashing?

    Since upgrading to CS4 I seem to have increased crashing.
    Here are my system specs.
    Mac 2 x 2.66 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon
    9 GB of Ram
    250 GB internal dedicated scratch disc
    NVDIA GeForce 7300 GT with 256 VRAM
    After having endless techs look at my machine and upgrading everything. I am beginning to suspect the graphics card.
    With OpenGL can a underperforming video card cause crashing in photoshop especially with massive file sizes ( multilayered CMYK poster sized files the can exceed 7 GB)?

    Did you install the 11.0.1 update?
    Is your OS up to date with patches?
    Have you tried disabling OpenGL in preferences to avoid using the GPU/Graphics card?

  • How to run windows mobile device center via remote desktop

    I am developing mobile application in Microsoft Visual Studio 2008. I connect to my computer via remote desktop and my operating system is Windows Server 2012 R2. In order to test the application, I use mobile device emulator. I can run device emulator but
    there occurs a problem when I try to cradle the device. I found out that this is because wmdc cannot run via remote desktop. Is there any way to run wmdc via remote desktop? I searched other topics but there is no solution to this.
    Note : WMDC works when I directly use the computer not with remote desktop.

  • File icons via Remote Desktop

    While working on an app, I seem to have run into a problem.
    When you get filetype icons via File.icon when using Remote
    Desktop, the icons always come back blank. Below is a test program.
    When I run it on my box natively, it returns the icon as expected.
    When I connect to the box (XP Pro) via Remote Desktop, the icons
    always come back blank. Can someone run my program and check to see
    if it's just my box that's the problem?? Just type in a path to a
    file (e.g. C:\BOOT.INI) and see if it shows the icon both locally
    and remotely. Thanks!

  • CC 2014 (18.1.0) | Text Field editing causing crashes (Windows)

    Greetings;
    I've noticed lately that when saving files from CC 2014 to a CS6 format - and having those files edited on Mac, in either CS6 or CC - when re-opening those files text fields have been causing crashes on the Windows client. When that same file is opened and text fields are edited on the Mac client, a prompt will just appear stating "Cannot Edit text" - yet it still allows it.
    This has caused multiple issues for our teams as it has created files we're starting to refer to as "mine fields" - as working with the .ai file is like playing Russian roulette with text fields, you never know which one is going to crash the file.
    I would love to work with a team member from Adobe to help find a resolution to the problem, and I'm willing to provide any additional details that might aid in that process.
    Thanks!

    Hello Pureweb,
    Please upload the crashdumps on some file sharing website say Dropbox and share the link with us by sending a mail to "[email protected]". We will analyze the dump and will suggest you the workaround appropriately.
    In parallel, please check that you do not have any 3rd Party plugins installed in it. Please try to remove them one-by-one and see which one causes the crashes or do reverse i.e. remove all the 3rd party plugins. Or Uninstall Ai and check at following location:
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CC 2014
    Please verify that nothing is left at above location on uninstalling Ai. Then try a fresh install and see if Ai works.
    Also, verify that you have the updated Wacom drivers on your system. This might be an issue with the 3rd party program as well. One of the user who was having a similar issue reported on the Ai forum that one of the 3rd party Stahl's ImageWorx DTG RIP - a program for printing to a Direct To Garment printer was causing the issue. So, you may check if the similar thing is not happening in your case.

  • Barn doors transition causes crash

    Dear Community,
    Applied barn doors transition to a project in CS4. Stored that project in 2010.
    Opened the project in CS6 CC - and barn doors caused crashes - so I cleaned off the old and applied replacement barn door transitions in CS6 CC.
    Once the wipe is applied - its fairly stable - sometime crashes sometimes doesn't.
    If I apply a broder colour to the wipe - all ok.
    If I then apply a border thickness - crash every time.
    System;
    Premiere Pro CS6 - 6.0.3 (001 (MC: 264587)) through cloud membership
    Updated and current
    Win 7 Pro - SP1 - 64 Bit
    Source footage SONY EX3 - .mp4 and still image .png's
    No error messages - just crash and need to restart PP CS6
    Try to apply colour and border to a barn door transition causes the error
    This worked before on the smae project when created in CS4
    Not running other software at the time
    NewBlueFX modules installed but not applied to this area of sequence
    i7 - 3.20GHz, 16GB RAM, SSD OS drive, 4 x drive RAID on LSI RAID card, - No I/O hardware
    I am using Are you using Mercury Playback Engine Acceleration and CUDA
    Problem occurs during normal edit - as soon as I start to adjust the barn doors wipe - I don't get to compression
    Thanks

    Hello,
    You have received this email because the content you posted below has been rejected by our moderators.
    Re: Barn doors transition causes crash
    posted Jun 5, 2013 5:15 PM  
    Since the original report earlier today - I now just have to put the timeline scrubber over the barn doors transition and PP CS6 closes without an error message and without saving. The unfortunate part here is there doesn't seem to be any record or log of the crashes to be able to disseminate whats going wrong.
      Barn doors worked in CS4 - and the only change in this project is the re-opening in CS6 CC."
    Question; Did I put something in there that was defammatory, rude, obnoxious, incorrect or un-helpful?
    If anyone here believes I did, I sincerely apologise for the need of moderators to have intervened... and for causing any offence.
