Troubleshooting

This section provides you with suggestions for resolving problems you might have when you load NJVM.


Java GUI Applications Fail to Load

If Java applications have trouble running in the NetWare GUI, ensure that the DISPLAY variable is set to 127.0.0.1:0.0 or to the IP address of the server. For more information, see Setting the DISPLAY Environment Variable .


GUI Fails to Load

If the NetWare GUI fails to load after you install NJVM, run the following .ncf file at the server console:

vesa_rsp

This resets the NetWare GUI to its default configuration. For more information on the default configuration, see Configuring Your System for an Accelerated Video Driver .

The GUI resolution can then be changed from the taskbar menu. For more information, see Configuring X Server Using the GUI Environment Utility .


Mouse Does Not Respond

If the mouse that is properly attached to your server does not function in the NetWare GUI, it might not be configured correctly.

To automatically reconfigure the mouse:

  1. Close the NetWare GUI.

  2. At the server console, enter:

    vesa_rsp

  3. Start the NetWare GUI.

    See Loading NJVM .

    This automatically reconfigures the mouse and also resets the NetWare GUI to its default configuration. For more information on the default configuration, see Configuring Your System for an Accelerated Video Driver .

    The GUI resolution can then be changed from the taskbar menu. For more information, see Configuring X Server Using the GUI Environment Utility .


Applications Using java.net Do Not Work Properly

If Java applications that use the java.net package have trouble resolving host names or IP addresses, ensure that the TCP/IP configuration includes the file /etc/resolv.cfg, and that WINSOCK is loaded on the server. The /etc/resolv.cfg file tells the server its fully qualified domain name (FQDN) and allows the server to locate name servers that can resolve names into IP addresses.

Another problem might be that the IP address and DNS name of the client machine need to be added to the /etc/hosts file. The proper entry format is

<IP address> <DNS name>
