Installs but won't start on Linux FC6

[iain]

On Linux Fedora Core 6, the installation completed (though hung for quite a while on the start the daemons bit right at the end).

However, the zdesktop doesn't start up, and the zdesktop.err file gives the following:

On the other hand, its started up just fine on Ubuntu 6.10. Now onto more testing.

Funny, I actually have it running here on Fedora Core 6.

The error log mentions not being able to bind properly to an address - is /etc/hosts looking sensible?

I've been able to start/stop zmdesktop at will, with no problem.

[iain]

Ah, yes, I'd mapped localhost onto another IP address for some reason. Corrected that, reinstalled from scratch and it went OK.

Now its hanging on the "Loading..." screen, but it may just be downloading my 500MB of mail before it lets me on, for some reason.

[byte]

In ~/zimbra/zdesktop/log there are log files. Do check to see if there's progress...

But yes, 500MB of mail can take some time to download. Gotta be patient.

Hope all's well!

[iain]

Well, there's patient and there's patient

On my connection, I'd expect 500MB to download in less than an hour (often a lot less, depending on the server).

Zimbra was downloading for 7 hours, then it seemed (from the log file) to stop downloading anything very much, but carried on trying.

It would be useful to know the experiences of others with similar volumes of mail: if it's a general issue, I'll raise a bug.

It would also be useful, for the long downloads, to have some sort of progress bar or, even better, to allow you to use the Zimbra desktop and sync. in the background,

Yes progress bar is in the plan. And we also plan to speed up download. Thanks for the feedback!
