Problems

NOTE: This information is old, and has not been necessary for multiple years. This information is strictly here for historical purposes.

This page will attempt to document the common problems people face when trying to start Collab VM Server.

On Ubuntu 16.04/Debian 7/etc, when I attempt to start the server, I get a message that libvncclient.0 could not be found.

If you are receiving this error on Ubuntu 14, please make sure that libvncclient1 is installed (sudo apt-get install libvncclient1). Do the same on Ubuntu 16 as well.

This is because Collab VM Server is compiled with an older version of libvncserver. Ubuntu 16.04, 16.10 and Debian 7, 8 by default come with a newer version of libvncclient in their repositories, which instead of being named libvncclient.0, is named libvncclient.1. Fear not, however. Collab VM Server is fully compatible with the newer libvncserver, but a symbolic link needs to be created.

On amd64:

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libvncclient.so.1 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libvncclient.so.0

On i386:

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libvncclient.so.1 /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libvncclient.so.0

Start the server again, and it should work just fine. This does not need to be done on Ubuntu 14.04.

When I attempt to start the server, I get a message that libuuid.so.16 could not be found.

Type the following command and try again:

On amd64:

sudo wget http://computernewb.com/libuuid.so.16 -O /usr/lib/libuuid.so.16

On i386:

sudo wget http://computernewb.com/i686/libuuid.so.16 -O /usr/lib/libuuid.so.16
