Hi all,

after installing Adabas on Linux I got a XVT error and the DBA workbench does not come up.  
On Sun Solaris I never had such a problem. Can anyone help me out there?

Hallo Iaido,

what X-Server do you use. What Linux version is in use.

Hi all,

Please look into your Adabas documentation, for example Adabas Version 3.3 Release Notes, chapter Installation Adabas on Unix.

There you wil find a warning:

> [@](#):
>
> If you intend to install and use the Workbench, you should ensure that the terminals are not set to use 64k colours (default setting for Linux).

:!:  
But, please keep in mind better to call your local support or contact servline24  
[http://servline24.eur.ad.sag/public/](http://servline24.eur.ad.sag/public/)

Hope this will help.

Hi,

I am trying to use DBA Workbench on Linux (64) and after the first problem be solved - it was missing lib3 (solved installing Motif), I am still receiving an error when I start dba workbench. I am using XMING as part of graphic on Windows. See below the error. Does anyone have any idea how to solve it? Is there anything else that is missing on the configuration or installation- server or client?

I received the same error today under RHEL v6.3 64-bit.  
Basically, you need to install a package which has ‘a set of 75dpi resolution fonts for the X Window System’. In my case the pakcage was called xorg-x11-fonts-75dpi-7.2-9.1.el6 (noarch).  
Once installed, activating ADADBA via a Terminal started the graphical frontend.
