Package: x2goclient Version: 4.0.5.1-2016.08.18
On Windows 7 using the built-in X server of X2Go Client starting nmrDraw fails.
It is a program from the NMRPipe environment, installation guide is below.
Xfce is used as session.
X2Go server is: Fedora 24 x86_64 (reproducable with Fedora 22 x86_64 as X2Go server) $ rpm -q x2goserver x2goserver-4.0.1.19-11.fc24.x86_64
$ rpm -q x2goserver-xsession x2goserver-xsession-4.0.1.19-11.fc24.x86_64
$ rpm -q nxagent nxagent-3.5.0.32-4.fc24.x86_64
After starting nmrDraw from the terminal no window of nmrDraw appears as expected. The error message is: $ nmrDraw ... (NMRDraw) XView error: Cannot open connection to window server: :50.0 (Server package)
Using a different X server is a workaround. The steps are:
- download freeware: http://mobaxterm.mobatek.net/download.html -- Home Edition if you lack administrative rights to install 'installer edition', download and extract 'portable edition'
- close all X2Go connections
- reconfigure X2Go client: X2Go Client -- Options -- Settings... -- X.Org Server settings: |x| use custom X-Server change from: executable: C:\program files\vcxsrv\vcxsrv.exe command line options: -multiwindow -notrayicon -clipboard to: # for portable version executable: path to MobaXterm_Personal_9.0.exe # for installer version (packages extracted during runtime to %temp%\Mxt90 ; X-Server is: %temp%\Mxt90\bin\XWin_MobaX.exe) executable: %programfiles%\Mobatek\MobaXterm Personal Edition\MobaXterm.exe on 64 bit OS: %programfiles(x86)%\Mobatek\MobaXterm Personal Edition\MobaXterm.exe # either version append to command line options: -silent-dup-error -nolisten inet6 -hostintitle +bs -nowgl -noreset :0
- restart X2Go client
Other X2Go clients I tested and the outcome of starting nrmDraw:
on Lubuntu 14.04 with X2Go Client 4.0.1.1: error
on Mac OS X 10.10.6 with X2Go Client 4.0.5.1: OK
on Fedora 24 x86_64 with X2Go Client 4.0.5.1: OK
The installation guide for NMRPipe follows. The commands work for Fedora 24 x86_64 using a Bash shell.
