VNCViewer will not run kwrite or dislay text file

manza7 · 07-17-2004, 09:09 PM

I have a Linux file server (Mandrake 9.1) sitting in a network closet with no keyboard and mouse, I use Win32 VNC viewer to access from my W2K desktop so I can setup cron jobs, start Mozilla to download files etc. Most of the stuff I want to do works fine except when try to launch kwrite or kate, all I got is opening screen flashes and disappears.

I also cannot view any text file in Nautilus, when I click "Open" all I get is "Application "nautilus-text-view" (process 1901) has crashed
due to a fatal error.
(Floating point exception)"

Seemed to me the system does not know where to display..

I launch the vncserver in a linux command window "vncserver :1"
Then I use vncviewer with 192.168.1.xx:1 to launch from W2K desktop to access Linux server

Please help.. Thanks
