[Fedora-directory-users] Admin Console fails to start

[Ian.Bishop]

Hi,

I also had this same problem with startconsole except that I was getting
the same problem even when connected to the X console. After installing
xorg-x11-deprecated-libs RPM it works both from the X console aswell as
via X forwarding over ssh.

Interestingly, before this fix I had tried replacing
/opt/fedora-ds/bin/base/jre/bin/java with a symbolic link to the java
binary from jre1.5...I then was able to get the initial splash screen
without any java errors, but it wouldn't show the login prompt


Ian.
