Introduction
Because of the variety of Linux Operating Systems available problems might raise when using GraalOnline software. This page will outline a few known problems and solutions on how to fix them.
Remote Control Directories
The Remote Control client uses 2 directories within the graal root directory. The first directory is: ~/.graal/rc which stores the control2config.txt configuration file, private messages, and player profiles. The second directory stores the language-specs, images, and the executable file located at ~/.graal/graal4/rc/.
Additional Packages
If the Remote Control client is failing to launch the current Linux Distribution may not provide the packages needed to launch the client. Attempting to launch the Remote Control client in a Terminal session will outline the missing packages the Distribution is missing.
cd ~/.graal/graal4/rc/ ./rc
Remote Control from any Directory
To begin with the Linux Remote Control client can only be launched from the directory it is executed from without crashing due to not being able to find the images used by the graphical interface of the Remote Control client. This disallows the user to create a shortcut for the client.
Fix
Open a Terminal session and type the commands below:
cd ~/.graal/graal4/rc/ mv rc rc_bin nano rc
Using the text editor 'nano' type in the following:
#!/bin/sh cd ~/.graal/graal4/rc/ exec ~/.graal/graal4/rc/rc_bin
Now set execute permissions so you can launch the file:
chmod +x rc
This should allow the Remote Control client to be launched from any directory as a shortcut.
Launching Remote Control on Ubuntu 9.10
Initially, Ubuntu 9.10 doesn't contain the package 'libgtksourceview1.0-0' which is needed to launch the Graal Remote Control client.
Fix
To fix this problem simply install the package 'libgtksourceview1.0-0' by typing the following into a Terminal session:
sudo apt-get install libgtksourceview1.0-0
