• Re: openXP crash on netcall (linux mint 64bit)

    Ignore my previous post. Apparently your error.log in the linux version contains the same stuff that DEBUGLOG.txt contains in my Win32/DOS version.

    Until the resident Linux-version-guy shows up, look at the messages in your "¯ /¯Netcall" folder. They record the transaction details during
    a call/connection.

    where is that Netcall folder supposed to be? it is not in my
    /home/user/.openxp folder and not under /usr/local/lib/openxp

    maybe it would be there after a successfull first netcall?

    The only other thing I could recommend is to follow the steps in Quick- Start guide, exactly. I created a handy link to it here:
    http://openxp.kolico.ca/
    I remember it having several specific considerations for the Linux version.

    Thanks! I gonna read that.

    As you haven't yet made a successfull netcall, the folder won't have
    been created yet. Once you do make a successfull netcall however, the
    folder will show up in the message areas list.

    Thanks, that did the trick. i have used Telnet and 23 as i thought that would make sense :) but TCP/IP and 24554 was the way to go.

    Still, maybe someone could take a look into the openXP linux version and
    find out why it crashes without an error on wrong server settings.

    Thanks for the help!
