Xlib errors on remote desktop / Illegal instruction
November 14, 2015 02:18PM
Hi folks,
I have a Pogoplug E02 with Bodhi's Rootfs.
Linux debian 3.16.0-kirkwood-tld-2 #2 PREEMPT Sun Aug 31 18:56:01 PDT 2014 armv5tel GNU/Linux
Distributor ID: Debian
Description: Debian GNU/Linux 7.9 (wheezy)
Release: 7.9
Codename: wheezy

I have installed xfce4 & tightvncserver and this is my xstartup file for remote desktop over vnc:

#!/bin/bash
xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
startxfce4 &
xsetroot -solid grey
/etc/X11/Xsession

I have tried iceweasel and it throws up this error:
" Xlib: extension "RANDR" missing in display ":1.0"
Illegal instruction"

Google searches & fixes have ended up in no joy. The end result I understood was that tightvncserver doesn't support RANDR for iceweasel or midori.

Do I understand correctly ?
I tried installing vnc4server and it is not installation candidate; vnc4server does supports RANDR (from google results)

Any suggestions on solving this ? I am looking to run a web browser with 2 tabs at max.

Thanks.

This error does not affect anything. So did you start iceweasel or minori and try browsing?

Hi bodhi. Thanks for quick reply.

I selected ice weasel through desktop/applications and nothing happened , iceweasel does not starts.
Then I started desktop terminal and I have command of iceweasel and then this error crops on terminal.

I can run midori and got this error during midori starts. I think it is just your installed version of iceweasel.
