Gorse" To: blinux-list@redhat.com Subject: rap and rvplayer Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII List-Id: Well, after a long battle I did finally get rap to work. The problems I had were caused by needed fonts not being installed on my system and the script telling Xvfb to look for default fonts in /usr/X11. In my case, X is in my /usr/X11R6 directory, so I needed to modify rap to tell Xvfb to look for fonts in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc rather than /usr/X11/lib/X11/fonts/misc. Also, I didn't have some required fonts installed, but rap began to work after I installed the xfntbase Debian package. I'm hoping that maybe this will help people who are having trouble getting it to work; just keep in mind that if it encounters an error (ie, a required font not being present, the file you're trying to play not being there, etc.), it will just sit and wait forever. You could always try to run startx and see if it gives any errors to find out if you have all the X-related files you need (which I didn't, and startx gave errors). -------------------------------------------------------------- |DO what you think is right, not what society expects of you.| ---------Michael Gorse / http://www.wpi.edu/~mgorse/ ---------
