Re: [idvusers] Running the IDV on a headless server

Hi Stu-

You might try the 1.3.1 version of Java 3D for Solaris. You can download it at:

https://java3d.dev.java.net/binary-builds-old.html

The problem with Xvfb is that it needs to support the version of GLX that Java 3D does.

Matt,

I just wanted to provide some information to everyone on this list about our experiences w/getting IDV installed on our (headless) systems since Evan (Lowery) and myself have been doing a good deal of posting about the issues we have been coming across.

So far our preliminary tests indicate that we were successfully able to install IDV 2.8u1 on our PE2970 w/32bit CentOS 5.4 - using the (full) IDV installer - but only when we chose v1.3 (compatibility mode option) of Java 3d; using v1.5 would result in fatal errors when trying to create images using ISL files.

Yes, in my case as well it only worked with the Java3D version 1.3.

I used Xvfb 4.8; did you use Xvfb 4.1 successfully on the 32 bit Centos version 5.4?


Does anyone have any idea how to run the IDV in background on Solaris? No luck here finding an Xvfb that works.
