I use Putty with X-ming em DISPLAY variable is OK. The xclock is executed successfully.

Anyone had this problem?

Thanks!

You need to install Xming fonts to resolve this issue.

Hi Renato

I had experienced same issue during my sysyem upgrades, installing X-ming fonts helped.

Hi Divyanshu!

I read this thread and environment is configurated. Other threads always recommend to set the DISPLAY variable.

Follows the complete log.

If you see the exception stack, the rendering problem can be because of JVM or fonts.

Try changing the JRE to the other you have on your OS and check for missing fonts in your current shell. Other option is to switch shell to bash or csh and set DISPLAY for sidadm and run VA again.

If this is not working, update us.

Hello

Such issues occur because of incorrect export of DISPLAY variable. In your case, DISPLAY variable seems to be set correctly as xclock is working fine. Can you try setting DISPLAY variable to another client machine and see if it works there? Are you able to launch configtool and other GUI based tools? You may take a restart the client machine and try again.

Cheers,

Tapan
