JAVA_HOME=/path/to/java/1.5/jre ./startconsole -a http://localhost:3389 the splash screen pops up, but the login screen does not appear. firing it up with java 1.4.2 works. i have the sun java packages installed following the jpackage nominated procedures for 1.4.2_07 and 1.5.0_03 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): fedora-ds-1.0 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. set JAVA_HOME to the <jdk1.5_home>/jre 2. fire up the console with ./startconsole 3. go nowhere Actual Results: splash screen pops up, the message is 'please log in...', but the login screen is not visible Expected Results: the login screen should have been visible Additional info:
Yeah, unfortunately there is a window ordering problem - the logo/splash screen is on top of the login screen. Try this: ./startconsole -x nologo
makes sense, might check out the source and see if i cant provide a patch.. maybe a note somewhere about only jre 1.4.2 at this stage? cheers, jd
I think jre 1.5 will work fine if you use ./startconsole -x nologo We'll add this to the FAQ If you are a Java programmer, please take a look at http://directory.fedora.redhat.com/wiki/BuildingConsole and http://cvs.fedora.redhat.com/viewcvs/console/src/com/netscape/management/client/console/Console.java?root=dirsec&rev=1.4&view=auto
I log into the server via ssh -X and I had the problem of the window being invisible. Using another X server, In this case X Darwin would normally only show the logo. Fixed this with and -nolog option and found that the main window was nearly off the screen. Pulled it back and all was well
