How can I run steam in a second X server?

I've been trying to run steam in a second X server so that I can "alt-tab" by switching ttys. I've tried following this and this. and switching the binary to /usr/bin/steam -bigpicture. When I do this, the screen goes black except for a cursor at the top left. What am I doing wrong? Do I need to run a wm?

@nomadpenguin: This sounds very similar to an issue that I was having over the summer following the xorg update. Here's how I got things working.

  • How can i run my java3D programme on the server?

    i am facing the problem: In my servlet programme, i created an object of an BranchGroup which looks like this:
    public class FirstServlet extends GenericServlet {
         public void service(ServletRequest sres,ServletResponse srep) {
    BG bg = new BG();
    in the BG programme, it should be like this:
    import com.sun.j3d.utils.applet.*;
    import com.sun.j3d.utils.universe.*;
    import com.sun.j3d.utils.geometry.*;
    import javax.media.j3d.*;
    import javax.vecmath.*;
    so when i click "submit" and the servlet is invoked, the erro page comes:
    500 Internal Server Error

    Well you have to install ORACLE developer runtime on your client side. then just copy your complied forms (fmx) files to your client machine and set it up to run.
    Hope this helps

    Ehm, I wasn't referring to you at all... read up,
    there's a comment by jschell saying that CGI might be
    easier/better for his purposes.
    Yep.
    I know PHP/Perl/whatever might be easier for some
    purposes, but only if you happen to know them and want
    to/are able to use them. Ok. But you aren't the one asking the question are you. And the person who asked the question seems to have absolutely no familiarity with Apache or applets.
    So whatever they do they are going to have to learn a lot.
    And that does indeed suggest that in all likelyhood they have not investigated the alternatives.
    And for the vast majority of internet applications, especially with smaller projects (obvious this person is not working with a large team), using perl, or something besides java, is going to be the best business solution. It is simpler, and more secure (probably due to the fact that it is simpler.)
    Since this is a Java forum, I
    answer under the assumption that people have made a
    choice one way or another to use a Java solution to
    their problem, so I try to solve it in Java first, and
    only when that fails (very seldom) do I turn to other
    solutions.You approach problems by arbritrarily deciding to try to solve it in java first and only if you fail do you then look to other solutions?
    My first step is to try to figure out which of the various avenues is going to cost less. (And a secondary, but non-trivial concern, is then to convince the customer that just because they have heard of a buzz word like 'enterprise bean' that it doesn't mean that is a cost effective solution.) We must come from different worlds.

  • How can I run 2 keynote presentations on 2 different macs with only one keyboard?

    How can I have 2 different keynote presentations that I want to run simultaneously through 2 different projectors, but I'd like to try and avoid using 2 keyboards - and use a hardware solution, rather than relying on my 2 fingers!! (it's a long conference!!!) thanks for any help.

  • How can I run a vi developed with 7 Express?

    How can I run a vi developed with LabView 7 Express on another machine ? Do runtime versions exist ?

    Apparently, you want to run it on a machine that does not have LabVIEW installed.
    To make a standalone executable of your LabVIEW program, you need to have the Application builder (included in LabVIEW professional and higher, avaliable as an add-on for base and full).
    To run the application, the target system need to have the LabVIEW 7.0 runtime installed (available as a free download).
    There is also the LabVIEW Player. In this case you need to digitally sign your VIs and there are a few limitations. It is meant for for sharing code ideas and is not a viable substitute for the appl
    ication builder.
    Of course you could also get a second copy of LabVIEW.
    Some other options that would work in a very narrow set of situations: Read your LabVIEW license agreement. Under certain conditions you are allowed to install a second copy of LabVIEW on your home computer. If this is for personal educational use only and you qualify, you could also buy the LabVIEW student edition.

  • How can i run a executable right after a rman job has run?

    How can i run a executable right after a rman job has run?
    I have a rman job that execute every night. The backup is local.
    I want to have a duplicate of the backup on another machine.
    I want the executable to sync the directory to execute right after the rman backup.
    How can i do this using the job scheduler?
    Normaly, i would configure rman to run the backup on both location. But im having trouble with rman regarding this:ORA-600 [2103] on RMAN Backup to NFS mounted file system

    Hi,
    If the rman job is in fact a Scheduler jobs (appears in the dba_scheduler_jobs view) then you can create a second event-based job that runs after the rman job (and set the raise_events attribute for the rman job).
    Instructions are here
    Create Event based job
    Hope this helps,

  • How can I run Google Analytics on my site being hosted in Business Catalyst?

    Hi,
    I already have an existing website which is hosted, and of course I am the domain owner.
    I have created a new modified site in Adobe Muse CC and will wish to upload this new site to my domain once completed.
    I will need to run Google Webmaster tools etc before I replace the old site.
    I do not wish to replace the old site as yet prior to completing the new site in Muse CC
    At present I am "subscribed" to Google Analytics/Webmaster tools as a webmaster under my webmaster site (different) and have placed the "google verification code" metatag in my new site's "page properties <head></head tags only", and have uploaded to Business Catalyst.
    Business Catalyst are not my hosts for this site once it becomes "live". They are my "Trial Hosts"
    ? how can I run google analytics and tools for this new site prior to lauch (ie replacing my old site) ?
    Many thanks, await your response.
    (PS... Latest Muse CC is ACE!... Love it!)

    I finally figured out what I was doing wrong. First the information has to be entered on the home page. So the path is Home page> Page properties> Metadata> HTML for <head>. Secondly I was entering the information from the downloaded html file rather than the code they provide  under the alternate methods tab during the verification process .

  • How Can I Run A SQLJ Normal Project In SAP NWDS

    I have a question about SQLJ in SAP NWDS.

    4.I coded the normal project,and export the project .jar,everything is ok.

    How Can I Run A SQLJ Normal Project In SAP NWDS?
    PLS Help me and don't let me alone!

    Tony,
    Why not try to import your SQLJ project in SAP NWDS. Add all the jars mentioned to the project path both for compile time as well as runtime. Now try running he project. Once you are able to bypass java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError, you will get other errors related to SQL statements. These Oracle SQL statements needs to be converted to OpenSQL format.
    Chill out!!!

  • How can I run the report for different input values at the same time?

    Reports version: Report Builder 6.0.8.13.1
    Oracle version: Oracle8i Enterprise Edition Release 8.1.7.0.0
    I want to run the same report for different input parameter values and spool each o/p to different file and ftp to a server. For this, as a first step, I am spooling different input values in to a file, reading those values through a loop and calling the report for that input values. Each report run/execution is taking 15 minutes. Total report execution is taking approximately 4 hours (assuming 16 different input values) to complete. So I have to wait 4 hours to see ALL outputs.
    I would like to run the report parallel for ALL the input values and I should be able to see the ALL outputs with in 15 or 16 minutes.
    In my shell script, I added & symbol at the end of the report call to start/run the job in the background. Due to this the control passed to the next step after the report call. At this place I have an ftp command to send the output file to a different server and it is giving error some thing like “o/p file is not available/created yet". This is due to the fact that report writer is NOT yet completely started/initiated or it is NOT completed the spooling.
    How can I run the report at the same time for all the input values and save the time?
    Thanks in advance.
    Kishore.

    Increase the number of server engines running right now it seems there is only one engine running ,increase it to 4 or 6
    and then atleast 4 or 6 reports will run simultaneously.
    For FTPing the output add to your sript to check whether it is locked and if not then only try to ftp .
    Also for more better functionality read the document (chapter 15 ) for 10g reports for its new fuinctionality.

  • How can i run a java class file from shell?

    Hi all,
    I've a .class file named "File" that contains Main method, it is in the package "File2".
    How can I run it by shell command?
    PS: "java -cp . file" doesn't work it launch->
    Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: File2/File (wrong name: File2/File)
    Thanks in advance.

    Just to understand: is File2 ar jar archive or not? If it is a jar archive, have you tried open File2.jar? If File2 is a directory within the current directory, have you tried java -cp . File2/File? I just tested with a set of classes and it works... Let me be precise:
    * Let us imagine you are working in a directory whole path is PathToDir/
    * in this directory you have the classes put in a directory called File2
    * in order to launch File.class then you would have to invoke :
    cd PathToDir/ (just to be sure)
    java -cp . File2/File
    *if you were to do the following then you would have the problem you describe
    cd PathToDir/File2/
    java -cp . File
