I launch it from this ssh -Y login, see the initial splash image, which goes away after its initial timeout, and the cli then reports it couldn't get a screen, so the whole thing exits. The failure messages are somewhat less than worthless (to me at any rate) but it does write a pair of files: ================= RUN_IN_PLACE=no EMC2_DIR= EMC2_BIN_DIR=/usr/bin EMC2_TCL_DIR=/usr/share/emc/tcl EMC2_SCRIPT_DIR= EMC2_RTLIB_DIR=/usr/realtime-2.6.32-122-rtai/modules/emc2 EMC2_CONFIG_DIR= EMC2_LANG_DIR=/usr/share/emc/tcl/msgs INIVAR=inivar HALCMD=halcmd EMC2_EMCSH=/usr/bin/wish8.5 Using previous inifile: /home/gene/emc2/configs/genes-mill/genes-mill.ini INIFILE=/home/gene/emc2/configs/genes-mill/genes-mill.ini PARAMETER_FILE=emc.var EMCMOT=motmod EMCIO=io TASK=milltask HALUI= DISPLAY=axis NML_FILE= Starting EMC2 server program: emcsvr Loading Real Time OS, RTAPI, and HAL_LIB modules Starting EMC2 IO program: io Starting EMC2 TASK program: milltask Starting EMC2 DISPLAY program: axis Killing task emcsvr, PID=3395 Killing task milltask, PID=3441 Removing HAL_LIB, RTAPI, and Real Time OS modules Removing NML shared memory segments =================== That is one of them, here is the other: ========================= 3395 PID TTY STAT TIME COMMAND 3441 PID TTY STAT TIME COMMAND Stopping realtime threads Unloading hal components =========== Real informative. NOT! Now, the fix that did make it work before is still there: gene@shop:~/emc2/configs/genes-mill$ echo $DISPLAY localhost:10.0 So, do I need to add something to this machine? Its running pclos-32 bit, 2010, uptodate except for tar as 1.24 and 1.25 are broken and will not work with amanda. What happens if I change $DISPLAY to = coyote.coyote.den:10.0 That is this machine, or I could use this machines IP too, but then either marries it to this machine only, not a real fix IMO.
