Superkaramba and X Errors

JockVSJock · 03-08-2006, 09:52 PM

Found Superkaramba packages for 10.2 here

http://sox.homeip.net/slackware/slac...amba/pkg/10.2/

I installed them, but when I go to start up, I get this error message

Code:

root@probot:/opt/kde/bin# ./superkaramba
superkaramba: cannot connect to X server

I've killed X and restarted it, but no dice...searched googled and didn't find anything...any ideas?

thanks

I haven't been here very long but are you running X as a normal user account and trying to start superkaramba as root? I get the same error when I try to run it from a root command line while running kde as my user account. Also, I don't know what you use for a desktop but in kde after installing superkaramba it shows up in my utilities menu, is where I start it from

Sunman, thanks for the help, and you were right. I run X as a user and did chown on superkaramba and run it from my KDE menu and it runs like a charm.

Got LiquidWeather running right now...see screenshot...

No problem at all

Just glad I could actually help someone for once instead of looking on here to solve my own problems.

Actually, it is better to use the URL http://www.slackware.com/~alien/slac...amba/pkg/10.2/ which is a mirror of my own server at sox.homeip.net. My server (running at home behind a cable connection) is offline from time to time.... whereas the slackware.com server isn't (at least shouldn't :-)

Cheers, Eric

Ok, thanks for the info Alien Bob...

Hmmm...

I want superkaramba to start up when I start KDE...so I would modify .xinitrc, but I the only way I can run superkaramba is from the KDE button and I right clicked on it and didn't see a path to put in the file...I may have to play around with this one.

thanks

Once you started Superkaramba and still have it running when you logout, at next login it should just start again - without you having to configure anything.

This is of course if you didn't disable KDE's session support.
