Xvfb X-Server

Dear All,
I have problem when running Xvfb command.
I have to run this command to fix REP-3000 error.
we use SunOS 5.8, Our reports server version is from Oracle 9IAS service and we are not running any patch.
When i run Xvfb command on server it's showing error :
=======================
fatal server error
Can not establish any listening sockets
make sure an X server isn't already running
21598
=======================
the syntax i'm using to run the Xvfb is :
===============================
XVFB_HOME=/usr/local/xvfb
$XVFB_HOME/Xvfb :1 -co $XVFB_HOME/rgb -fp $XVFB_HOME/fonts/misc/,$XVFB_HOME/fonts/Speedo/,$XVFB_HOME/fonts/Type1/,$XVFB_HOME/fonts/75dpi/,$XVFB_HOME/fonts/100dpi/ -ac -screen 0 1024x768x8 -sp $XVFB_HOME/SecurityPolicy &
================================
May be any body in this forum can give the link where can i download Xvfb that working fine.
By the way,
How to enable the xhost ?? because i read some post that suggest enabling xhost, i already try run the Xclock command, and it show the clock on the server (Im my opinion the XServer is running if the Xclock is run), we are using KDE desktop on the server.
Anybody can help Us ?
Thanks
Regards
Nifer

I am running the report server from 9iAS Release 2.
I had a xvfb that worked with the version from 9iAS but my new report server doesn't work.
I point it to a development box and it works.
I downloaded the version you refered to and it doesn't work either.
Do you have any ideas? xclock seems to reun without errors.
I am runing Solaris 8.
Hi Junifer,
First off, make sure you have a compatible xvfb solution. Not all of the work with Reports. You can download one from OTN here:
http://otn.oracle.com/products/ias/ias_utilities.html#xvfb
Also, you may want to look at metalink article 181244.1 for more information. While the information in this article is written for Oracle Applications, most of it is applicable here, too.

Stewart

How to start Xsun without mouse and keyboard?

I'm trying to run a second Xserver on a solaris 8 machine, but when I start Xsun I always get "failed to initialize core device".
I've tried plugging in a USB mouse and use kmdconfig to setup OWconfig, but this did not work. I've also tried to fool Xsun by telling it to use a serial mouse and then softlink /dev/tty03 to a console/stdout but this causes Xsun to hang after starting. I can see the second display go dark and then nothing happens. If I do a ctrl^c I will get "failed to initialize core device" printed.
Has anyone here done something similar?? Please share your stories/solutions..
Thanks

I don't know if this is related to your case, but Xsun will not start on a headless server since there's no video device attached.
Maybe this can shed some light:
Enable X Server on Headless System
On headless systems, The Xsun(1) X server does not run by default because it
cannot find any graphics devices. In such cases, the Xvfb(1) X server can be
run instead. Selecting which X server to run entails modifying options for
Xserver(1).
This article explains how to enable a service running the Xvfb(1) X server via
SMF on a headless system so that Xvfb(1) is always started upon reboot.
Document Body:
Usually, Xsun(1) is launched by dtlogin(1X). As there are no graphics devices
on headless systems, dtlogin(1X) cannot launch Xsun(1) by default.
However, by enabling the "svc:/application/x11/x11-server" service or its
instance via SMF and setting it to run Xvfb(1) instead, a X server can be
started for every system reboot.
Below are two example procedures that enable an instance of the
"svc:/application/x11/x11-server" service. You can choose either procedures.
- Non-Interactive Setup -
1. Create an instance for the "svc:/application/x11/x11-server" service.
# svccfg -s svc:/application/x11/x11-server add Xvfb
2. Add property group for "options".
# svccfg -s svc:/application/x11/x11-server:Xvfb addpg options
application
3. Set the "options/server" property to run Xvfb(1).
# svccfg -s svc:/application/x11/x11-server:Xvfb setprop
options/server=astring: "/usr/openwin/bin/Xvfb"
4. Set the "options/server_args" property to control access restrictions.
This is optional.
If you would like to disable access control restrictions (i.e. "xhost +"),
you can specify the "-ac" option.
# svccfg -s svc:/application/x11/x11-server:Xvfb setprop
options/server_args=astring: "-ac"
If you would like to enable access control restrictions (i.e. "xhost
+<host_or_user_name>"), you do not need to specify any options. Clients (i.e.
host or user) can run "xhost +<host_or_user_name>" to modify access control
restrictions. Please refer to InfoDoc# 77005 for more details on how to use
remote Xvfb(1) server.
5. Enable the "svc:/application/x11/x11-server:Xvfb" instance.
# svcadm enable svc:/application/x11/x11-server:Xvfb

Does Xvfb server starting shuts down the other servers linked to it.

We deploy our application using Weblogic server.We use Xvfb Server for rendering Digital Image.
We could find that the Weblogic server is shutting down within an hour if we restart the Xvfb server.
Can anyone clarify if there is any relation between restarting a Xvfb server and Weblogic server.
Regards,
Sridevi

Since we dont have access to that machine currently, can you please list the possibilities of this problem.
We will get back to you once we get the access.

Xvfb and Report Server

Hello,
I have a problem with Xvfb Server. I can't access reports files the requests are terminated with error :
REP-3000: Internal error starting Oracle Toolkit.
Even if the process Xvfb is started on the server.
The display variable too is set correctly on the context_files
Could you please give some help ?
BR,

As applmgr user, please confirm that you can issue "xclock" with no issues. Also, please issue "xhost +" as root user.

Windows developed report hangs on Unix Reports server ??

Hi,
We recently migrated from a Windows BI tier to HP-UX Itanium. The problem I have is that one particular report just hangs in the Unix reports server. The basics of the report are that it has repeating frames which displays three record blocks per page. I use a formatting trigger on a derived field to alternate the background colour of the frames.
After making several modifications to the report I've discovered that the trigger to alternate the background colour is the issue. I can use the same field with a trigger to say conditionally display a field or hide another frame and that works ok. I can set the background of the frame to another colour and the report works fine.
As soon as I use a formatting trigger to change the background it hangs.
In terms of report development I'm stuck with only Windows as Report builder is not available for our platform so troubleshooting this is a tedious process.
Has anyone seen anything like this before ????
Cheers,
Ron

hello,
oracle reports has always had this dependency. it needs the x environemtn for rendering of the output. so you need an active xsession for the reports server to point DISPLAY to.
a possible work around is the use of a soft-terminal such as VNC or xvfb (see oracle9i application server release notes for details).

[SOLVED] Trouble Building Xorg-Server 1.6.1-1 (Modified PKGBUILD)

ever since the release of xorg-server 1.5.3, i've been using a modified
PKGBUILD to build xorg-server sans hal and dbus. (not gonna try
justifying it again; that'd just lead to yet another flame war.)
i've never had a problem until the 1.6.1-1 PKGBUILD, which adds the lines:
libtoolize --force || return 1
aclocal || return 1
autoconf || return 1
automake --add-missing || return 1
after applying patches and before running the configure. these added lines produce:
libtoolize: putting auxiliary files in `.'.
libtoolize: linking file `./ltmain.sh'
libtoolize: Consider adding `AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR([m4])' to configure.ac and
libtoolize: rerunning libtoolize, to keep the correct libtool macros
in-tree.
libtoolize: Consider adding `-I m4' to ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS in Makefile.am.

Aborting...
my modified PKGBUILD is build. please note that i *have* tried
reverting my changes (the commented patches), to no avail.
as i'm pretty clueless vis-a-vis makefiles and the autoconf system,
could somehow point me in the direction of a fix?

Not any help to your error but have you tried the one in aur with disabled dbus and hal?
I've been using it for a week or so with no problems and it built fine.

['Solved'] xorg-server 1.9.0-1 split into several xorg servers

So what's up with the [Testing]'s xorg-server 1.9(.0-1) being split into xorg-server/-common/-devel/-xdmx/-xephyr/-xnest/-xvfb?
Last edited by algorythm (2010-08-24 16:24:35)

nvidia doesn't get built, just repackaged, so it doesn't require any xorg-server-* stuff to build. The -devel package is required to build drivers from source. The xorg-server and xorg-server-common packages are the usual packages that will become installed on all desktop systems.

Printing barcodes on 10g server running on Solaris OS

Hi,
We are using Reports 10g (10.1.2) on Solaris Operating System (SPARC 32-bit).
We wanted to print barcodes using Java bean method. It prints fine in windows, but giving below error when run on web using rwservlet. Actually we are using virtual display using xvfb.
My question is: Do we need to have physical display by setting up another machine like in 6i ?
Can we achieve the rendering of barcode image using virtual display ?
What are the setup steps needs to be followed if rendering is possible with out using physical display ??
Thanks somuch!!!

we are running Xvfb located at /usr/openwin/bin/
In particular, we are starting the Xvfb server with the following command:
nohup Xvfb :1 -screen 0 1600x1200x32 &
We are then setting the DISPLAY on the command line and in the reports.sh
script using: DISPLAY=10.25.3.123:0.0; export DISPLAY
We verify that it recognizes the display using "xset -q"
In reports.sh file We entered below line:
## REPORTS_DEFAULT_DISPLAY=NO; export REPORTS_DEFAULT_DISPLAY
DISPLAY=10.25.3.123:0.0; export DISPLAY
But still we are getting java.awt.GraphicsEnvironment.checkHeadless(GraphicsEnvironment.java:121)

Is there anything wrong in the above setup ?
Please advice.

How can I keep a newly created reports server running?

I have had to create a second reports server under 9ias Rel.2. This server is in addition to the out-of-the-box server installed with 9ias Rel. 2. I created the new server logged on to a Solaris session using the command rwserver.sh server=<new name>. The creation went just fine. I am able to use the new server just fine, EXCEPT if I log off the Solaris session used for the startup of the new server.
I know this sounds similar to the problem of the default server going down if the unix session is logged off. However, I solved that problem by installed XVFB, using a DISPLAY of other than 0, and changing the opmn.xml file. All that works great. But, it does not seem to have an effect on the new reports server I created.
Does anyone have any ideas how to get around this issue for reports servers other than the default?

I had similar prob. but with vnc instead of xvfb.(similar product)
I put the startup of vnc in the same script as the start of the rwserver.. it looks like :
export DISPLAY=servername:12.0
vncserver startup
wait 5 secs
set oracle homes etc..
rwserver.sh server=myrepserver
I start this script using the unix nohup command :
nohup startrepserver.sh &
the vnc server starts and the reports server starts..
I use a different port (12, 13,..) for reports/discoverer/forms compilation

i give a call to a shell file on the server (Red Hat Linux 9.0) which in turns calls a java
program that runs on gnome-terminal.
i have started Tomcat from SSh for that i have exported DISPLAY (Environment variable) from
.bash_profile. i need to do this because i need graphics environment (X11 Windows) for jfor
which is used print jpeg images in PDF and RTF reports.
PROBLEM
Some time my server display gets destroyed or the server gets Logout automatically, when my
process is running.
following is sode to start a gnome-terminal
strCommand="gnome-terminal -x /root/PWAppSh/StartPartialRunOff.sh PartialRunOffApp "+
strpubType + " " + strGroupNumber +" "+ id + " " + Cur_Time+" "+ strPubDate +" "+
strFromDate +" "+ strToDate ;
p = rt.getRuntime().exec(strCommand);
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(new FileInputStream(strRootPath
+ "/pw/WEB-INF/classes/pid.txt")));
                         pid= "";
                         while((pid = br.readLine()) != null)
                              getPid=pid;
                         ses.setAttribute("process",getPid);
                         ses.setAttribute("RunType",strrunType);
                         System.out.println("#Get Process ID:"+getPid);
                         FileOutputStream fos = new
FileOutputStream(strRootPath+"/pw/System/Mgmt/Sessions/RunoffOutput.txt");
                         Stdout_Stderr errorGobbler = new
                              Stdout_Stderr(p.getErrorStream(), "ERROR");
                         // any output?
                         Stdout_Stderr outputGobbler = new
                              Stdout_Stderr(p.getInputStream(), "OUTPUT",
fos);
                         // kick them off
                         errorGobbler.start();
                         outputGobbler.start();
                         // any error???
                         int exitVal = p.waitFor();
                         System.out.println("StartRunoff ExitValue: " +

destroyed when my Program is runnig on Gnome terminal.
kindly help me,
Thanks in advance for ur most important suggestion or solution.

Sounds a lot like a bug in some of the native libraries you use (or even in AWT). Try looking into your log files (especially for X and for your tomcat) to find out if any error messages are printed.
Additionally there are X servers out there that don't need any concrete display hardware to run (Xvfb comes to my mind, but IIRC there are more modern alternatives available). Usign that might or might not solve your problem, but would be a good idea either way.

Fail to download X virtual frame buffer (xvfb)

I went to the page http://otn.oracle.com/products/ias/ias_utilities.html#xvfb in hope to download the oracle prebuilt Xvfb for solaris, when I click on any one of the three xvfb download items, it keeps returning a error page "The page cannot be displayed"
This is for an urgent oracle applications project, any prompt help is appreicated!

This seems to work just fine for SPARC, its on x86 (SUN v40z) that there seems to be some sort of issue?

Use of XVFB Unix tool

we have got a Java application deployed on a WAS 6.40 SP13 and we want to use the server unix tool xvfb for displaying drawings in the browser of the users.
In a previous step we have got this application running on a IPlanet server and we added these 2 lines:
DISPLAY=:1.0; export DISPLAY
/usr/X11R6/bin/Xvfb :1 -screen 0 1152x900x8 &
in the start file of the application of the IPlanet server.
So my question is: where can i add these lines in a J2EE project developped with SAP Developer Studio to use the tool ?
Thank in advance,
Eric.

Hi
RWD uPerform records your actions in Microsoft Windows,web-based, and enterprise applications, and outputs a professionally formatted document and simulation. You can capture screens, buttons, edit fields, and more in the target application.
The recording process captures information to simultaneously produce both a simulation view and a document view of procedural content.
RWD uPerform captures actions in the following target applications:
❐ Standard Microsoft Windows and web browser applications: Support for these
applications is provided in the uPerform base recorder. Application adherence to
World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and Microsoft Windows standards will
determine the consistency and quality of recording. Due to the technology involved in
recording, the DOS command window cannot be recorded.
❐ SAP: Support for SAP applications is provided in the uPerform SAP plug-in recorder.
❐ Oracle: Support for this application is provided in the uPerform Oracle plug-in
recorder.
❐ PeopleSoft: Support for this application is provided in the uPerform PeopleSoft plugin
recorder.
❐ Citrix: In addition, support for applications in the Citrix Presentation Server 4.5
environment is also available.

Xvfb Virtual Frame Buffer in a local zone?

Ok, so this is a bit of a science project....

Was wondering if anyone had gotten this working?

in the GLOBAL: the following works...

/usr/openwin/bin/Xvfb screen 1024x768x24


Doing the same in a LOCAL gives:

# /usr/openwin/bin/Xvfb screen 1024x768x24 
There is no XDISPLAY information for display 0. 
Check the OWconfig file(s) and try again. 

Fatal server error: 
The server will now exit because of configuration problems. 
# able to restore text mode on vfb# 
# 

So lets get a little fancy to get rid of the "XDISPLAY" error... edit /usr/openwin/server/etc/OWconfig and add:

# Virtual X Display for virtuals
class="XDISPLAY" name="5" 
coreKeyboard="NKBD" corePointer="NMOUSE" 
dev1="vfb"; 

Ok, now lets try the Xfb command in the LOCAL again...

# 
# /usr/openwin/bin/Xvfb :5 screen 1024x768x24 

Fatal server error: 
The server can't access IO registers. 

#

trussing this event shows lots of stuff, but no smoking gun (from what I can tell...)


Anyone have any experience in this area?

many thanks,
