The error log file when VcXsrv failed to lanuch. win-kexsl.log (1,503 bytes) |
|
There should be a fix for this coming - can you rm the win-kex.log file and do again? This seems to stem from running kex seamless as root, and root owning the log file, so when you try to run it as a normal user, it can't write to the log. |
|
Tried removing the log files, this time it ran without any errors, however, nothing appeared on the desktop. No Xfce desktop bar for seamless usage. Even tried starting a program from console and received error "Error: no DISPLAY environment variable specified". when is the fix arriving? any planned dates? |
|
I must thank you for your swift reply though. Highly appreciated! |
|
Can you reproduce this with the latest version of kex? |
|

I open other native programs like file manager..etc and then open the Firefox browser. The browser don't come-up but other windows opened before freezes and eventually vcx server crashes. Screenshot 2021-10-24 040008 (Medium).png (389,194 bytes) |

vcxserver crash window.. |
|
I have 4K monitor and wondering why it is not taking my native resolution. it would be great if it identify the native resolutions. |
|
Are you using an Nvidia GPU on that system? We've seen some issues running Firefox and Nvidia GPUs but we aren't sure where the issue is exactly. |
|
you are right, I am using nvidia. |
