I asked about this a while back with no response, but now have a bit more information. Still no idea how to fix it. I am occasionally seeing the above error when running various programs. Originally, I discovered it when running the "display" command from ImageMagick. $display picture.jpg display: color is not known to server `FOREGROUND': No such file or directory @ error/xwindow.c/XGetPixelPacket/3064. No picture is displayed. GraphicsMagick does the same thing, but it shows the picture: $ gm display picture.jpg gm display: Unable to load font (-*-helvetica-medium-r-normal--12-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1) [Resource temporarily unavailable]. gm display: Color is not known to server (FOREGROUND) [No such file or directory]. gm display: Color is not known to server (BACKGROUND) [No such file or directory]. I have now discovered a tcl/tk program that appears to have the same issue: $ ./Mobi_Unpack.pyw Traceback (most recent call last): File "./Mobi_Unpack.pyw", line 211, in <module> sys.exit(main()) File "./Mobi_Unpack.pyw", line 202, in main root = Tkinter.Tk() File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line 1745, in __init__ self.tk = _tkinter.create(screenName, baseName, className, interactive, wantobjects, useTk, sync, use) _tkinter.TclError: unknown color name "BACKGROUND" My reading indicates that this may be due to an issue with the xorg rgbpath declaration, but I don't know how to check what xorg is actually using (since the rgbpath declaration doesn't appear in any of the files in the xorg.conf.d subdirectory). /usr/share/X11/rgb.txt is present, though. Where and how is FOREGROUND and BACKGROUND defined for this purpose? -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Real D 3D Digital Cinema ~ www.melvilletheatre.com _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
