I tried installing Kubuntu to Mom's machine. It failed to reboot. Tried Mandrake, same deal. Installed CentOS, installed and rebooted like a charm. But, I'm still having the issue with Java's Wonderland launching X11 applications from with it, using Xvfb. On the Wonderland list, everyone says it works like a charm from Ubuntu. Right outa the box. <sighs> I really don't want to install it, but I gotta have the X11 applications features enabled (thus Xvfb) Dinking around I had an AhHa! moment. I spotted this in /etc/profile # Start the X virtual frame buffer (Xvfb) #if [ -f /usr/bin/Xvfb ]; then #/usr/bin/Xvfb :1 -screen 0 1024x768x16 #fi # Set the DISPLAY variable for the X virtual frame buffer (Xvfb) #export DISPLAY=localhost:1.0 These are commented out, as of course you can see, from the get-go. I tried uncommenting them out and X froze up. So, just maybe I'm closer to a solution? Would you enable one or both? I did both and it froze. Anyone have a clue what's happening or what effects this to fail, yet be included in this pretty-much standard file??
