This is driving me crazy, and maybe someone has seen it. I have tried everything. I have a new ubuntu 14 machine and I built everthing with no errors, and avogadro runs fine on the console and ssh -X , but when I try to run it under vnc it always crashes the X server. I have tried every xserver I could find and every version of xstartup I could find. The whole vnc client crashes when I try just avogadro.
After a crash the vnc log file shows: Thu Apr 16 23:46:04 2015 Connections: accepted: 0.0.0.0::51330 SConnection: Client needs protocol version 3.8 SConnection: Client requests security type VncAuth(2) VNCSConnST: Server default pixel format depth 16 (16bpp) little-endian rgb565 VNCSConnST: Client pixel format depth 16 (16bpp) little-endian rgb565 XIO: fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server ":16" after 172 requests (172 known processed) with 0 events remaining. If I run avogadro -h under vnc I see (and it does not crash the server): avogadro -h Xlib: extension "XInputExtension" missing on display ":16". "Avogadro version: 1.1.1 Git: 5e4d1f7 LibAvogadro version: 1.1.1 Git: 5e4d1f7" Locale: "en_GB" Translation successfully loaded. Usage: avogadro [options] [files] Avogadro - Advanced Molecular Editor (version 1.1.1) Options: -h, --help Show help options (this) -v, --version Show version information So there are too symptoms--the XIO crash and the Xlib: extension "XInputExtension" missing on display ":16". Neither of these happen on the console or a regular sh -X session. I really need to get this working under vnc, so if anyone has any ideas or experience with this I would greatly appreciate it!
