Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server.

 Hi all!


I'm trying to start Installation Manager and the WebSphere Migration Tool (migration.sh) and both are returning the same error:

#./migration.sh

Gdk-Message: 11:56:11.512: eclipse: Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server localhost:11.0.

#./IBMIM

Gdk-Message: 12:29:21.210: IBMIM: Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server localhost:11.0.


Does anyone has a clue of what is happening?

The SO information is: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.9 (Maipo) running on s390 platform.

Hi Ralph and thanks for your time spent on searching this in the internet. 

In fact, there are so many information about this common error and lot of tips also, but each one seems to be related to a different causes getting the same error message and I tried out some tips but nothing helps.

I opened an IBM case and they appointed the root cause in my case.

The problem in my case was that the automatic Linux update updated Firefox and with that gtk3 was installed creating a conflict with applications that depend on gtk2 such as Installation Manager, migration script and so on.
 
The (interim) solution was to remove gtk3 and install Firefox on the previous version that uses gtk2.

 I think that you are facing some platform related issue. This forum is likely not the right place to ask. I found several hits in the internet. Maybe better to look there.
