[Sugar-devel] xephyr error on Fedora 16

Well, like it says, the actual error message is elsewhere, so we can't
help you much without further information. Can you post the full
output, please?

Please make sure to update sugar-jhbuild and install anything
"./sugar-jhbuild depscheck" mentions (except for gnome-python2-evince
- I still need to fix the Read dependencies) before trying again.

If there's no error message (or just something unhelpful), please try
running the following command directly:

Xephyr :100 -ac -title 'Sugar in a window' -screen 800x600 -noreset

I expect it to fail, but once you tried that you can use the Fedora
support channels to get help; there's nothing Sugar-specific about it
then.


Your now-working Debian Wheezy setup should be better than a Fedora 16
one (at least Fedora 17 seems to be required for everything to work),
though. ;)
