Troubleshooting
On some systems (I've particularly noticed this with RedHat) you may get the resulting error:
|
|
|
|
Connection to server failed |
|
|
|
|
This is typically because the hostname is associated with the loopback device in /etc/hosts & it shouldn't be.
ie. On a machine called itchy this is a troublesome /etc/hosts file:
|
|
|
|
127.0.0.1 itchy.springfield itchy localhost.localdomain localhost
192.168.0.254 itchy.springfield itchy
|
|
|
|
|
It should look something like this:
|
|
|
|
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
192.168.0.254 itchy.springfield itchy
|
|
|
|
|
If you have other problems, send an e-mail to the FVWM Mailing List with "FvwmTabs" somewhere in the subject line & someone (probably me) should be able to help you.
