[Nek5000-users] postx black window

Sun Oct 20 10:59:17 CDT 2013

Hi Tubois

I had a similar problem when installing on an Ubuntu 12.04 machine (I am
not sure which OS you are using) The problem was solved by installing the
following packages:

mesa-utils
libx11-*
libxt-dev
xfonts-100dpi
xfonts-100dpi-transcoded
xfonts-75dpi
xfonts-75dpi-transcoded

Perhaps this will help you determine what packages need to be installed on
your system.

Sorry to bother people in the list for this kind of naive question.

I tried postx on two computers, one my laptop, one cluster in my
laboratory.

I got the same screen. It seems to be some graphics issue with the system.

You can find the screenshot attached here.

So what should I do? Thank you very much!
