Subject: error in X client for LINUX when selecting Restore
Date: Wed, 25 Aug 1999 18:40:28 -0600

     Hi Unix gurus:  one of our customers had the following problem using
     the X-Windows LINUX client.  Most of our UNIX techs eschew the
     X-windows client so I don't know if this problem is a common one.  Is
     the X-Windows LINUX client known to be full featured?  Reliable?  Can
     you offer any clues about the problem?

     I looked at the download site and see that the current Linux client
     has a 6/25/99 date ... does this reflect a level update?  The last
     time I checked the LINUX client was still at level 1.

     T.I.A. for LINUX client info.  Eric Lewis UW-Madison

When I hit the "restore" button on the X client running
on Linux, it crashes, and I get the following message on
the console:

Xlib: sequence lost (0x101dd > 0x101ce) in reply type 0x0!
X Error of failed request:  BadGC (invalid GC parameter)
  Major opcode of failed request:  56 (X_ChangeGC)
  Resource id in failed request:  0x400103
  Serial number of failed request:  477
  Current serial number in output stream:  65998




<< RFC822.TXT >>

The Linux client is still unsupported and somewhat buggy (PTF1 level).
You should not use it in production environment.
I have not heard about plans to support linux in the future.
