Fails to launch

Feedback Type:  Troubleshooting Report

Contributed by: MentalColic Thursday, October 26 2006 @ 08:52 AM PDT

Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Less than a month

I downloaded the PPC version 1.10 for a PowerMac 1 Ghz MDD system. X11 launches, TSclientX "bounces" once in the Dock and the menu flashes in the menu bar, then it shuts down without error. Running RDesktop 1.5 in X11 from a manual compile works ok, as does VNC. This system does have dual monitors if that is related in any way.

Fails to launch - DMilisic

Hi... did you consult the documentation? Below is a snip:

If TSclientX doesn't start, open a terminal and run:
"sudo /usr/X11R6/bin/fc-cache"
This will rebuild X11's fontconfig cache.

If you've never used X11 before be patient;
it can take a minute or two to fire up on first-run.

Now if you've already done this and still have the same result, open an xterm and run:
/Applications/TSclientX.app/dist/bin/tsclient

If the GUI doesn't launch, there should be some kind of error output; I'd appreciate it if you could e-mail that output to me for further investigation.

FYI: Before I stamped out the 1.10 release I rebuilt a PPC and Intel Mac from the Tiger Install disc, installed X11, ran the fc-config fixup and had no problems launching... so I'm a little perplexed at why you might be seeing this.

Cheers,
D.

Fails to launch - grtscts

Same problem here. RDC from MS installed - crashed upon printing. Needed solid solution. Found TSclientX, installed X11, ran script. X11 launches then TSclientX shows briefly a black X and simply sits there.
