Why needs RRC on Linux X Server running?
![]()
I can only start the RRC Server if my Putty Session has the Display variable set and on my PC the X-Server is running. Is this normal? RTC and RQM run without the mentioned variables, why cant RRC do the same?
In Catalina.out my error message says: The application '<unknown>' lost its connection to the display localhost:10.0; most likely the X server was shut down or you killed/destroyed the application. |

Same problem here using Websphere. We cannot even put the startup of RRC into the init.d scripts! After server reboot, we need to manually (!) use a special maintenance-only terminal server connection to fire up RRC and then we can disconnect again.
Note: Not that any window would actually come up on the display... Seems that RRC just needs the handle... The error message here is: Exception in thread "SWT Display Thread" org.eclipse.swt.SWTError: No more handles |

As I understand it, this is due to the image conversions that are performed on the server for the web ui.
ETA: Just to further clarify, by image conversions I'm referring to the process by which artifacts such as sketches, storyboards, process diagrams, etc are rendered on the web. |

Hello, solved the problem for me, we have an Xvfb running so i set the Display variable in the server.startup file to the Xvfb display and now it works. Thanks for your replies.
