VNCserver - run error - Couldn't start Xvnc; trying default font path.

Hi there,
I am trying to get vncserver running on a solaris 10 server and am floundering. When I run vnvcserver, I get the following:
Couldn't start Xvnc; trying default font path.
Please set correct fontPath in the vncserver script.
New 'X' desktop is unknown:12
Starting applications specified in //.vnc/xstartup
Log file is //.vnc/unknown:12.log
I have been trying suggestions from older forum posts and edited the /.vnc/xstartup file so it looks like below (the Fontpath line and the comment avove it were added by me
#!/bin/sh
xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
# Copied from picked http://www.realvnc.com/pipermail/vnc-list/2006-June/055196.html
FontPath = "/usr/openwin/lib/X11/fonts/misc/,/usr/openwin/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/"
xsetroot -solid grey
xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" &
twm &
I have checked these directories and they both seem to have loads of font files - Could anyone suggest what I can do to move forward?
Thanks

@soldier1184:
Some cards require an older driver because nVidia dropped support for them in later drivers. (I don't know if the particular card the OP has is that case.) Also, just assuming an internet search to find out how to clean the nVidia drivers is a little bit jumping the gun, right? I mean, as long as the drivers were installed with pacman, they can be removed with pacman. Simply suggest:
sudo pacman -R nvidia nvidia-utils <other nvidia package(s)>
If that doesn't work, we can dig a bit deeper for sure.
@kaldøran:
Did you install anything new that caused this issue, or did you just boot up and have a problem? You said "you start to install your nVidia card", but later say you don't want nVidia. if You don't want the nVidia stuff, remove the package(s) and reboot and see how things go from there. If you didn't install anything new and this just started happening, can you boot to a terminal and run startx?

  • While reset my iphone3G to factory setting it get stuck and couldn't start,i tried to restore it from i tune but its shows me error 1015 and couldn;t restore suggest me what to do.

    PLz any body suggest me i had hanged up with my computer for last 3 day but couldn't solved it.

    That article is universal, and not limited to iOS 4.x.
    The phone is either jailbroken or has suffered a hardware failure.
    Error 1015: This error is typically caused by attempts to downgrade the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch's software. This can occur when you attempt to restore using an older .ipsw file. Downgrading to a previous version is not supported. To resolve this issue, attempt to restore with the latest iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software available from Apple. This error can also occur when an unauthorized modification of the iOS has occurred and you are now trying to restore to an authorized, default state.  Very rarely this error is caused by a hardware issue and requires service.

  • Xmms2: ERROR: Couldn't start playback: Could not start playback

    Hi there,
    I am having a problem with one of my favourite music players and that on several arch machines. It does kind of work only coincidentally. That means: usually I get the above mentioned error message, sometimes - out of the blue - it does play music. This behaviour is independent from the output.plugin i am using, either alsa or jack. The funny thing is, if I use OSS there is quite a few clicking from the loudspeakers but then it does work. If I change back there is some clicking again for some seconds and then ... same procedure as with (almost) every attempt to use this little beast. ;-/
    Does anyone else have this problem or can give me any hints what I could do to get the baby up and running? On an archbox that had been not as up to date as the other two boxes xmms2 did work. Maybe I should file a bug?
    All the best,
    das.t

    After searching I discovered that with the option
    --with-plugins cdda
    a lot of plugins are disabled and among them all output plugins, so it can't work. I gave a look at the configuration options and tried to disabled all the plugins
    like in the package with --without-plugins:
    --without-plugins=coreaudio, ices, mac, modplug, nms, pulse, sid, sun, waveout
    In that way the cdda plugin can be used and it solved the problem, but I'm not sure it's necessary to recompile xmms2.
    If somebody manages to use cdda without recompiling xmms2 I'm still interested.
    And now I can listen to audio cd !

  • "Couldn't start this app" error when trying to open Action Items and any other built-in apps

    Hi all,
    When I try to open the Action Items app within an email in OWA, I get the error seen in the screenshot. In Outlook 2013, the frame comes up with a 404 error.
    Third party apps load fine.
    This is a new install of Exchange 2013 Enterprise with CU2. Everything else seems to be working fine. I have tried rebooting the server and disabling and re-enabling the apps with no luck. Can't seem to find anything in the Event Log about it.
    Any ideas why this would happen and how to fix it?
    "Something went wrong and we couldn't start this app"

    Hi,
    Could you please check the IIS log and see what’s the error code?
    Try using the administrator account to log in the Outlook and see if he can see the apps successfully.
    Thanks,

    I've tried to download the flash player several different times and each time i get a connection error message.It downloads fine and when i run the file to start install, it installs up to 5% and then i get the connection error message. I've tried disabling my antivirus software, closing my browser for install and nothing.Can someone please help me? I'm using Firefox.

    Hi!
    I had the exact same issue, being on a mac. If you are on a mac and the connection error message occurs, then use this link http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/latest/help/install_flash_player_osx.dmg
    It allows you to download it offline, which is what I used.

  • I can't install on uninstall iTunes on my laptop; running Windows XP.  I've tried all the steps in Apple Support as well as Windows support.  Can anyone help?  I fet the error "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable

    I can't install or uninstall iTunes on my laptop.  I've followed all the steps on Apple Support as well as Microsoft support.  I get the error "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable.  Pick an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'iTunes.msi".  This has been going on for a couple of weeks now and I'm very frustrated.  From what I can see, I'm not the only one with this problem, but I have yet to see anyone post a solution that works.  Microsoft wants to charge me $99 to troubleshoot it for me and Apple will charge $20.  I think both are ridiculous as this is obviously not "operator error".

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Failed to run task sequence. Error occurred while starting the task sequence (0x8007000E)

    Hi there
    Patch Tuesday yesterday (10th June2014). As always we deploy new patches first to a test collection where Windows 7 updates automatically apply.
    Upon trying to rebuild any of the machines in this test collection, we were presented with the following error message:
    Failed to run task sequence.  Error occurred while starting the task sequence (0x8007000E)
    After searching about this, I found this page from Niall Brady, which explained the problem:
    http://www.niallbrady.com/2013/05/17/after-selecting-a-task-sequence-in-configuration-manager-2012-sp1-you-receive-threadtoresolveandexecutetasksequence-failed-code0x8007000e-in-smsts-log/
    So I removed some of the machines from the test Windows update collection, and as per the advice in the above link, the error was gone and those machines could be built successfully.
    So the problem is there were too many many policies downloaded (apps, packages and most of all updates) for the task sequence ram to store, hence the error.
    Now...
    ...I have a question.
    The next logical step to my mind is to patch our OS image with all missing patches, so these do not have to be downloaded at build time. Niall mentions this as one of the resolutions to this issue.
    However there seems to be some confusion over whether this would actually make a difference.
    I read through this link:
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/7e597b44-2586-4063-b6d0-cec48a7c11c7/sccm-2012-task-sequence-failure-0x8007000e?forum=configmanagerosd
    There's seems to be no consensus on this.
    Is SCCM 2012 clever enough to - when the task sequence is first started - to download ONLY the updates (policies) it detects as NOT present in the OS image...
    or
    Will it simply try to download policies for ALL items deployed to it, whether the updates are present in the OS image or not?
    I will be disappointed if SCCM 2012 SP1 CU2 isn't clever enough to only download policies at build time for the apps, packages and updates it detects as needed.
    I'd be grateful for some clarity on this.
    Regards,
    John, Glasgow.

    Hi Jason
    Thank you for replying, I appreciate it.
    1) We currently have 15 or 16 software update groups for Office updates, dating back a month or two. The latest software update group contains all the patches in the previous software update groups plus the patches released on 10th June. Do you recommend
    deleting all but the latest software update group?
    2) I'm almost reluctant to ask this, but based on what you have advised, is it the case that when the task sequence executes, it will download policies for each update in each software update group regardless of whether it has already downloaded a policy
    for an update in a previous software update group? So in effect it's downloading policies (for updates) it has already downloaded?
    3) I'm not clear on why there would be no policy for an image; in Niall Brady's informative page on the 8007000E error, he writes the following:
    "The reason it has run of space could be due to four possibilites: too many applications, too many Windows updates, too many Task Sequence steps, too many referenced packages'.
    Can you shed some light on why there isn't a policy for an image?
    Thanks again for replying,
    John.

    after i have downloaded firefox 9.1 and tried to open it, i get the sentence : it couldn't be prepared properly (default 0xc0150004) and the programm does not run

    I couldn't find anything on the error text you posted but I did find lots of google hits on [http://www.google.com/search?q=%22The+application+failed+to+initialize+properly%22+0xc0150004 "The application failed to initialize properly" 0xc0150004]. Is that the error?
    In any case, did you try a clean reinstall of Firefox? If not, open the C:\Program Files folder and delete the '''Mozilla Firefox''' folder, if it's there. Next, go to mozilla.org/firefox click the green download button and install a new copy.

  • Portal not starting - Error: Couldn't connect to DB

    Hi
    I have installed a WAS ABAP 6.40 stack running on AIX 5.2 and Oracle 9.2.0.6. I then successfully installed a JAVA add-on stack. I then successfully installed a portal.
    The portal was working fine, I could successfully logon to it via the url http://<fully qualified hostname>:58400/irj (84 being my instance number)
    Now the portal no longer works. Some investigation has found that my J2EE engine is no longer starting.
    When I enter the command startsap as <sid>adm, I see the following:
    Checking BWD Database
    J2EE Database is not available via  test
    See logfile JdbcCon.log
    Below is an extract from the file /home/<sid>adm/JdbCcon.log

    If anyone can advise, it would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi Sam,
    Sometimes it is only because you have not set the environment correctly (ORACLE_HOME, ORACLE_SID).
    Is your TNSNAMES.ORA correct?
    If you do a "ps -ef |grep oracle" you should get a list of processes. Make sure you see PMON and SMON processes as well as the LSNR processes.
    If you don't see the LSNR processes start the listener.
    If this don't help try to start the DB manually and check with tsnping, otherwise come back again with mor info.
    regards
    Wolfgang

  • My toolbar is missing and there is a button where it used to be that says "Please re-install the Toolbar" but when I click on it nothing happens? Also when I start Firefox I get a script running error how do I solve these issues?

    My toolbar is missing and there is a button at the top left that asks me to "Please re-install the Toolbar" but when I click on it nothing happens???
    Then when I start Mozilla I get a long delay before it launches and a script running error "A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, or you can continue to see if the script will complete.

    How do I solve these issues???

    No idea - and you provide no clues
    what version of iPHoto do you have? Of the OS? is the iPhoto icon you are speaking of in the Dock?
    re-read your post and try to provide information using standard Mac terms since we can not see you or your computer and only have your worrds to let us try to help you
    Somehow my "IPhoto" icon now says "Preview".  When I click on "Preview" nothing opens up except the bar says Preview.  When I click on the Preview on the bar, a box opens up with different items, except when I click on any of them, there is nothing there.  The only thing that work is the "quit preview".  However, it is still there where my IPhoto icon should be.  I can't get into my IPhoto.  How do I get rid of this "Preview" and how did it end up taking over the IPhoto icon???
    If you go to your Applications folder and double click on iPhoto what happen?
