I know, I know. Use iManager. Whatever. Look — No matter whether you like it or not, Console1 is still an important tool to us Novell administrators. And that is why I installed it on my Opensuse10.3 machine, and ran into this problem…<\/p>\n

The problem is the new Java jre that’s in the Opensuse10.3 distro (jre version 1.5.0_12 as I write this), in combination with the fact that Console1 (version 1.3.6h as I write this) would prefer a 1.4.x jre. You can solve this problem using EITHER of two ways:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Get a 1.4 jre and point your Console1 startup script (\/usr\/ConsoleOne\/bin\/ConsoleOne<\/code>) at it manually, or…<\/li>\n
  2. Add the following line somewhere mear the top of your Console1 startup script to fix the persnickety behavior of the new jre as follows: export LIBXCB_ALLOW_SLOPPY_LOCK=1<\/code><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Regarding option 1, fixing things by going backward in time is not my preferred way of doing things — *especially* when it comes to multiple jre’s — but I have to admit I’ve done this in the past when I’ve had to.<\/p>\n

    Option 2 is best, because when either the jre is updated to be compatible, or if Console1 is updated and you continue to use the same script, it will continue to just work.<\/p>\n

    This may fix other things for you as well, since I’m sure other programs that were coded for the older jre will have a similar problem.<\/p>\n

    Enjoy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
