Topic: SME 7.3 + eyeOS + Office Support problem =)

[mterrasson]

Hi all,

I'm working on a project including SME 7.3 , thinstation and eyeos .

The SME is intalled as Server, gateway, thinclient server and eyeOS server. The thinclients boot on smeserver via PXE, load thinstation image and acces via firefox to eyeOS. All of this works fine =)

But I need to enable OpenOffice support for the eyeOS platform, and here's the problem.
To enable support, I need to install a X server for openoffice can be executed in. I follow an  Howto from the eyeOS wiki witch advise to use Xfvb.
So I install OpenOffice.org2.i386 from repo and also Xfvb (following this french howto).

Now I get some errors when I try to lauch Xvfb with the command given in the howto :

Code: [Select]

[root@vsme ~]# Xvfb :1 -ac -screen 0 800x600x16 -fbdir /tmp &
[2] 4269
[root@vsme ~]# _XSERVTransSocketOpenCOTSServer: Unable to open socket for inet6
_XSERVTransOpen: transport open failed for inet6/vsme:1
_XSERVTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: failed to open listener for inet6
_XSERVTransSocketINETCreateListener: ...SocketCreateListener() failed
_XSERVTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: server already running

Fatal server error:
Cannot establish any listening sockets - Make sure an X server isn't already running
unlink: No such file or directory
unlink  failed, errno 2


I try to find ou a solution via google, but I only find that it was _maybe_ a Xorg / X11 problem.

Thank you for answering,

EDIT :I tried to lauch xserver with startx, i get this :

Code: [Select]

[root@vsme ~]# startx
xauth:  creating new authority file /root/.Xauthority
xauth:  creating new authority file /root/.Xauthority

Hi mterrasson

Sorry for the Noob Question but may I ask how did you install eyeos etc. on the sme server 

[mterrasson]

Hi =)

To install EyeOS on SME server, you have to install php5, mySQL5 . APache 2.x is also needed, but it's included in SME 7.3.

When it's done, you create an ebay (I always name it "eyeos" ) with this right :


Of course you can restrict the access by password etc, my project don't require that =)

Once it's done, log you on the sme as root, go to the ibays repertory and then run this command :

Code: [Select]

##Download eyeos tarball in "dl"
mkdir /home/e-smith/files/ibays/dl
cd /home/e-smith/files/ibays/dl/
wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/eyeos/eyeOS_1.6.0.1.tar.gz

##Decompress the tarball
tar -zxvf eyeOS_1.6.0.1.tar.gz
## We cp files to the eyeos ebay
cp -a eyeOS/* /home/e-smith/files/ibays/eyeos/html/
cd ..
## Remove dl
rm -Rf dl
## Remove index.html so we can access install.php
rm -f /home/e-smith/files/ibays/eyeos/html/index.html

Then, access the ebay via web ( http://MY_SME/eyeos/ )

Enter root password, hostname and press Install eyeos

Congratulations, it's done

Hi again :p

I'm still working on this project and I've a new problem.

I've installed Xvfb, and it works fine, I've installed OpenOffice (eyeOS need it to read office format, odt, xls, etc. ).

When I try to open an odt, it doesn't work , i've this error in /var/log/httpd/error_log

Code: [Select]

[root@linux-pass ~]# cat /var/log/httpd/error_log

I've seen on Ubuntu forum that it can be fixed by deleting (or moving) the .openoffice located in the home folder, but this folder does not appear in the SME 7.3

Does anybody already had this problem ?
