Hello,

i just installed JRiver MC20 on a Ubuntu 15.04 server. I access and setup JRiver through mobaxterm that allows me to open a X window.
I run the configuration as followed :

>> Install and run once remotely via ssh and X forwarding to get the configuration setup.
>> Then exit mediacenter.
>> sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-dummy (and the other packages it pulls in).
>> create the following configuration in /etc/X11/xorg.conf

>> I create a file named "rc.local" in /etc/
>> I put inside

--- Quote ---nohup Xorg >/dev/null 2>&1 &
#give X  some time to start
sleep 5
su - someuser -c"export DISPLAY=:0;mediacenter20 /mediaserver"
--- End quote ---
in my case someuser is qnap the user name i use to connect

>> type : sudo nohup Xorg >/dev/null 2>&1 &. The answer is "[1] 1886"

>> as qnap user :
export DISPLAY=:0 ..... Answer : nothing
mediacenter20 /mediaserver....Answer : Erreur de segmentation (core dumped)

So it seems that is does not work for me. Could you help me to figureout this issue ?

Thanks for your support.

Your system (QNAP?) is missing some pieces.
When you use mobaxterm to connect you are using a x server on the machine running mobaxterm.
This server supplies many of the dependencies (like fonts).

Just installing the dummy xserver on a remote machine and configuring it will not necessarily supply all of MC's requirements.
You could be missing the necessary fonts (very likely if it's a qnap) or some gtk or other packages.

Patatorz:
Thanks for your quick feedback. any idea where I could find some support to find these dependencies ?

Ubuntu 15.04 server is running as a virtual machine on my QNAP TS-251.


or at least is there a way to launch mediacenter20 at the startup of the session without any X server. I just need to access in order to modify.
