zdesktop: installation error (failed to inject zimlets) + doesn't start

Hi,

Trying to install zdesktop on Linux (Debian Squeeze), clean install.

I get an error message at the end of the installation process ("Failed to inject zimlets. Some features may be missing"). Unsurprisingly, zdesktop won't start.

Attached are zdesktop.out & install4j installation log- any help would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks,
-E-

I'm having the exact same issue any help would be appreciated.

Me too. Anyone solve this yet?

I had the same issue under Squeeze.

I noticed a directory named .!yahoo/# ( long garbage string ) present in my home dir after the first run attempt, after deleting this directory ZD seems to start fine ( I had to manually reinstall the Zimlets though ).

Update:

I took and deleted all directories/files related to ZD and reinstalled from scratch, I still got the Zimlet failure message during install but ZD starts without any other issues.

The only difference between this install attempt and the prior ones is that I updated Squeeze from apt to the latest revision.

Bumping this hoping someone as any input regarding this..

I suggest you try out ZD 2.0 beta1. Thanks!

I was working some days trying to discover the reason of the problem.
The problem in my Debian, was that the kernel was resolving dns only for ipv6.
To solve this issue you have to run this command from root:

sysctl -w net.ipv6.bindv6only=0

Then you can start the zdesktop daemon from your home directory (or where you had installed) and your user (not root)

zimbra/zdesktop/sdesktop start

To verify if the daemon is running:

zimbra/zdesktop/sdesktop status

Finally, if you want to preserve the kernel change during booting, you can add this line at the bottom of the file /etc/sysctl.conf:

net.ipv6.bindv6only = 0

(If you already had that line with 1, just replace it)

I hope, this can help somebody.

Thanks
Gustavo

Hi,

Still not working for me.

Installed the latest Beta, installation completed successfully (or so it seems), but the application hangs forever when executed (never actually starts).
