X11vnc gives weird errors

Hi,
I've been trying to get x11vnc working on my other box but if I start it I get weird errors, and I can't find anything on google about this, as many other things are causing these kinds of errors, while no results turn up if I add x11vnc to the search parameters...
Here's the output:

vncserver (for virtual screens :1 and such) is working well btw and there is no firewall installed on that box. It's a twinview setup if that matters. I have no idea what's wrong...
Any idea?

To run x11vnc from ssh session you either have to "su" to root or run x11vnc from local console.
AFAIK shared memory access from different virtual terminal is disabled by default so you have to have root priviliges to access it.
Sorry this bit of necromancy, but i've searched the net about this problem and could't find any specific pointers so now hopefully google will find this solution

  • Can't open Sharing pref pane. Gives weird error.

    Suddenly I can't open my Sharing preference pane. It gives the following error:
    "You cannot open Sharing preferences because it doesn't work on an Intel-based Mac."
    I haven't run any utilities that remove language packs or architectures. I tried to re-install the 10.5.6 combo update but it says that the updater can't be applied.
    Anyone know how to fix this?

    Okay, I managed to get the combo updater to install. Don't know why it didn't work before. Then I repaired my permissions.
    The Sharing pref pane now opens but it's non-functional (buttons don't respond to mouse clicks) and there are display errors like incorrect or missing text.
    I also tried restoring the Sharing pref pane from my Time Machine backup but that didn't make a difference.
    So, I think you're right. I need to do a archive and install. What a pain in the *ss that is going to be.

  • Weird error from iMovie 9.0.2 - Quartz Extreme required - what gives?

    I got this weird error message from iMovie 9.0.2 today ...
    "Quartz Extreme required.
    iMovie requires a graphics card that is compatible with Quartz Extreme. One or more of your graphics cards does not support Quartz Extreme.
    [Quit]"
    What is going on here? I have an Intel i5 Quad Core iMac with 16GB of RAM and 1.5TB free on my drive. The graphics card in this iMac has 1GB of VRAM (ATI Radeon HD 5750) so I thought it could handle pretty much anything I throw at it.
    I had a movie of my daughter's school play (about 1.5 hours) which I edited in iMovie today and then selected the Menu to finalize the Project.
    SInce it was taking a few hours, I left the machine to run and do its thing.
    When I got back, I found that iMovie had shut down and I had the above error message on my screen.
    I bought this machine so that I could do some amateur video editing ... and this is my first attempt. Not happy with this result!
    Any advice/suggestions/guidance on what is going on here?

    Agreed; Since the FX-5800 and up GPU's Require up to 7 Amps from the +12V Rail, then Yes 16 Amps is Very Light indeed , Dont Forget your P4 CPU under Stress (Gaming) Can require up to 10-11 Amps, combine that with the 7 Amps that your GPU May Require, and you are Over your +12V Rails Power capabilities...You should have at Least 20Amps on your +12V Rail, and because you are a Gamer! You should Have one of the Better PSU's Available that have 30 Amps + available on the +12V Rails. ie Enermax 465W or Antec 480W..............Sean REILLY875

  • Ccashut gives an error

    I'm trying to load data from SQL Server to Oracle. When I try to deploy my mapping, default agent gives an error and says restart agent. Ok, I go to Linux and say "ccashut", give pwd and get this:
    [oracle@xware unix]$ sh ccashut
    Checking admin port: 23791
    Enter password:
    Error: Could not connect to the remote server. Please check if the server is down or the client is using invalid host, ORMI port or password to connect: Disconnected
    Exiting due to error.
    That "remote server" is very weird, it's on the same server? How can I fix this, this is now a show stopper because I can't deploy my mappings. I have the Linux server in my clients hosts-file, I know pwd is right and now I don't know anymore what to do...
    Thanks in advance,
    Mari

    I'm trying to deploy a mapping but can't do it because OWB says that CCA must be restarted (and that's done using ccashut ans ccastart, according to owb manual). Default agent location must be registered before I can deploy a mapping and that registration fails with "restart" error.
    Connection failed. CCA-1536: Control Center Agent is unavailable, please restart. Details are: Error reading application-client descriptor: Error communicating with server: Connection refused: connect; nested exception is: javax.naming.Communication.Exception: Conenction refused: connect [Root exception is java.net.Connect.Exception: Connect refused: connect] ormi://xware:23791/jrt

  • Help Weird Error Messages Connecting Externals on USB

    Hi,
    For some reason very recently everytime I plug in a peripheral into the usb port I get a weird error message and the units (like an external HD, external DVD burner, etc.) won't work. The errors are something like:
    The system extensions/system/library/extensions/systems/kext plugins/libkern.kext was installed improperly and can not be used. Please reinstall ir or contact the products vendor for an update.
    Ohter error with the have the same message but file components change like:
    iousbfamily.kext
    bsdkernel.kext
    mach.kext
    udf.kext
    system.kext
    unsupported.kext
    Anybody have a clue? Thanks

    Yes, you should absolutely report it as a bug.
    But this is a problem in error reporting, not in valid code compilation, because the code
    cannot compile -- so don't expect to impart much momentum on a fix without additional community support.
    There's very clearly a coding problem that the static function f cannot access the non-static member
    g.
    To estimate the risk of more serious problems with the compiler, I investigated the two closest scenarios for making the code legal.  If you either:
    make g a static member (and give it storage), or
    make f a non-static function (and call it with an instance of A)
    ...then the code is valid and the compiler doesn't ICE in either case.
    So the severity of this problem is very low because, as you said, this ICE seems to occur only when there is an error in the code.

  • Weird error without any error message

    I've been working on some actionscript 3 system. And all of a
    sudden, it wouldn't execute anymore. When I pushed CTRL-Enter in
    Flash CS3, a white screen would open up (instead of the normal
    flash program) and no trace-output would be given.
    Three hours later I found the cause of this weird problem.
    It's (simplified) the line:
    var value:Number = -(true ? 1 : 0); // This one doesn't work.
    Put this line in your script, and your entire program won't
    execute. And without any error message! I was wondering, why is
    that? By the way, the following lines do work:
    var a:Number = -(2*3+4); // Gives -10.
    var b:Number = (true ? 1 : 0); // Gives 1.
    var c:Number = -b; // Gives -1.
    var d:Number = 0-(true ? 1 : 0); // Gives -1.
    var e:Number = -((true ? 1 : -1) as Number);
    So, my guess is that the code (true ? 1 : 0) gives some sort
    of data type which is not a Number, and therefore doesn't except
    minus signs. But that wouldn't explain why it doesn't even give an
    error. So what IS wrong with it?

    ok - well if these numbers are used to begin the execution of
    a method in your file, it's likely that they are not firing up
    because the syntax here is incorrect. in order to use this type of
    conditional operator (which i do use quite often as well, handy
    convenient ;) the structure should be:
    var value:Number = (condition) ? 1 : 0;
    'true' is not a 'condition' but a boolean result, so it
    should not be evaluated in the way have been using it here -
    however 'true' is 'true' so the result will always be 1 (the first
    expression in the operator) - i'm not certain why you would need a
    -0 result and if you are always wanting a 'negative' number then
    use that number in the return expression, as in:
    var value:Number = (condition) ? -1 : 0;

  • Weird Error When Verifying External HDDs

    Hello
    I'm getting a weird error when verifying my 2 external HDDs. Both give me an "invalid leaf record count" error. But only when I check them with the OSX install cd. If I check them in my user account, they come up OK. Both drives also gave me a "reserved fields in the catalog record have incorrect data" error. Disk Utility was able to fix that error, but not the invalid leaf error. I have tried multiple repairs, but DU says the volume cannot be repaired. The other weird thing is when I ran the first repair, it said 1 HFS Volume Repaired and 1 Volume could not be repaired. I have also tried using Disk Warrior, but it gives a "this volume appears to be formatted with a newer version of the OS" error.
    Both these drives I had plugged into my mom's iMac (running 10.5--my eMac is running 10.3.9) because I had firewire problems back in June. Did 10.5 modify something that has 10.3 mixed up?
    Is there something I can do to fix this or do I need to do another re-install?
    Music Luver
    "+I hear her playing music+..." ~ Barry Manilow

    OS X 10.5 does add additional attributes bits to the file descriptors, so using the drive under 10.5 would be expected to add those additional bits to at least the disk directory plus any modified files.
    When you then check the drives using utilities created prior to OS X 10.5, those older utilities don't understand the additional bits and report then as errors (DU), of the utilities check first and refuse to run if the disk is tagged as from a latter OS version (DW).
    There's a generic warning about mixing older utilities with newer OS versions in Only use Mac OS X 10.4-compatible disk utilities with Mac OS X 10.4 volumes.
    I'd be ready to shrug the error reports off as spurious; however, that DU "corrected" the reserved bits suggests the drive directories will be rewritten again should you again move the drives to a 10.5 computer. Are you seeing any actual problems wiuth reading or writing to the external drives? If not, write it off to 10.5 settings bits that earlier versions ignore; it shouldn't affect your data.

    Try
    Reboot the computer, see if that fixes it.
    Then try:
    Backup your files off the computer (not TimeMachine) and disconnect
    Hold c boot off the 10.6 disk and simply reinstalling OS X
    Log in and update to 10.6.8
    c boot off the 10.6 disk again and use Disk Utility >Repair Disk
    reboot and all should be fine, except some third party programs that install kext files, those will have to be reinstalled from fresh sources.

  • Photoshop gives "Program Error" when I try to open files while VPN

    I think this may be a new one. While VPN on my company network, Photoshop CS cannot open any files. Either drag and drop, double click or even file open command. You get the clock and the message "failed to open because of a Program Error.... " or something close to that. I'm sure it says Program Error though. Works fine if I'm not VPN but soon as I'm on it stops opening files or even creating a new blank canvas gives that error. I checked Adobe forum and nothing there to find about this one. Anyone else have this happen?

    Hi, SSI.
    1. What VPN client are you using?
    As a guess, your VPN client may be blocking a port that PS CS may use for license verification over the Internet. The fact that it works AOK when not using the VPN would tend to support this hypothesis. As to what port it may be attempting to use, I can't say, but you may be able to find this out from Adobe and then work with your firm's networking staff to see if this port can be opened for use when the VPN is active.
    2. You noted that you "checked Adobe forum and nothing there to find about this one." Did you post to the Adobe Photoshop forum? If not, I recommend doing so.
    3. You wrote: "You get the clock and the message "failed to open because of a Program Error.... " or something close to that. I'm sure it says Program Error though."As FYI, in cases such as this, copying down the exact text of the message is helpful.

  • When i try to log on to Oracle it gives an error TNS:no listener, WHY?

    hi guys,
    WHen i try to log on to the Oracle 8i server using the user: SYSTEM and password: manager, it gives an error
    ERROR:
    ORA-12541: TNS: no listener
    why this occurs and how do i fix the problem? please give me step by step instructions TY :)
    Message was edited by:

    ORA-12541 ...
    - The client is requesting connection to a service.
    - The service is derived from the alias used in the connection. For example, @orcl ... orcl = alias.
    - The alias is used to look up the host, listener port and service in the tnsnames.ora
    The listener is on the same machine as the database. The listener must be up and listening on the port the client want to use.
    If the listener is not up, there wil be an "ORA-12541: TNS: no listener" error;
    If the listener is listening on the wrong port, there wil be an "ORA-12541: TNS: no listener" error;
    If the client is asking for the wrong port, there wil be an "ORA-12541: TNS: no listener" error.
    To start the listener in Windows, go to the Control Panel > Administration Tools > Services and ensure the Ora?????Listener is started.
    To verify the listener is up, open a command box, and type 'lsnrctl status'
    To see what the client is expecting, on the client machine open a command box, and type 'tnsping {alias}' where you replace {alias} with the alias to be used in the connection.

    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
    Do they launch OK while in Safe Mode?

  • I have a an iMac 27" and am trying to import some videos of a friends wedding into iMovie however one of the movies won't import. It doesn't say why or give any error message or codes. All of the other movies on the card download with out a problem.

    I have an iMac 27" and am trying to import some videos of a friends wedding into iMovie however one of the movies won't import. It doesn't say why or give any error message or codes.
    All of the other movies on the card download with out a problem. The movie in question is not 'corrupt' as you can watch it in iMovie direct from the SD card but as soon as you try to import it, it  just says 'error'. iIve tried moving the file to an external drive ( and other variations on this theme) then importing but have had no luck.
    Can anyone please help me.

    The mystery remains....
    Thanks for the pointers. The file type is .mts (a proprietry sony one).
    I have now found some video converter software (Wondershare and iSkysoft) at a cost. Either will convert this file for me into .mp4. This I can then import into iMovie without any problems. I've checked this on the trial versions and it worked well but without paying am left with a giant watermark in the video
    The mystery (which I still havent solved) is why did 20 other .mts files import fine and then this one not?
    If you could point me in the direction of some free .mts converter software that would be the cherry on the cake.
    Thanks
