vw74 startup problem
Locked
 
|
Hi everyone,
I've recently downloaded and installed VW7.4 and have been trying to use it without success. I am under Linux (kernel 2.6.14) and my window manager is enlightenment 0.16. I am using the provided script (VisualNC) to start the visualnc.im image file... the splash screen comes out and my cpu goes up to 100%, but visual work does not start, the process just keeps on consuming memory and cpu indefinitely. I understand this is not much info, but I don't where to find anything else that helps pin pointing the problem..... any suggestion?? Hoping to fix this soon, Thanks a lot in advance for any thoughts that might help, Ricardo Birmann |

1) At the bottom of the "Download Cincom Smalltalk
Non-Commercial" webpage there's a link to "Installation Troubleshooting help". Which includes: "Issue: Out of memory error when starting the install image under Linux" (It would help to have that information somewhere that doesn't require a user login) 2) You'll find more information in the archives of this mailing list http://www.parcplace.net/lists/vwnc-archive Specifically http://www.parcplace.net/list/vwnc-archive/0511/msg00248.html best wishes, Isaac --- Ricardo Birmann <[hidden email]> wrote: > Hi everyone, > > I've recently downloaded and installed VW7.4 and > have been trying to use it > without success. > > I am under Linux (kernel 2.6.14) and my window > manager is enlightenment 0.16. > I am using the provided script (VisualNC) to start > the visualnc.im image > file... the splash screen comes out and my cpu goes > up to 100%, but visual > work does not start, the process just keeps on > consuming memory and cpu > indefinitely. > > I understand this is not much info, but I don't > where to find anything else > that helps pin pointing the problem..... any > suggestion?? > > Hoping to fix this soon, > > Thanks a lot in advance for any thoughts that might > help, > > Ricardo Birmann > __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Thanks for your reply Isaac, but I don't seem to be having a memory problem.
From the troubleshooting page: "Issue: Out of memory error when starting the install image under Linux This may be a problem with too many fonts. To verify this, execute the following in a shell: xlsfonts | grep "^-" | wc If the first number of the result is close to or greater than 5000, fonts are probably exhasting a system memory resource." I am not even near 5000 (I am at work now and dont remember the exact number, but it was somewhere around 2500)I am guessing my visualnc.im image is corrupt, because the virtual machine launches just fine with the installation image (install.im)... too bad I dont have any other images. Can a basic 7.4 image be downloaded from anywhere?? regards, Ricardo Birmann On 3/5/06, Isaac Gouy <[hidden email]> wrote: 1) At the bottom of the "Download Cincom Smalltalk |
