FvwmTabs

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.
