RE: [ncl-talk] Ubuntu Linux: No plot in x11 window

I tried this, and it came up with a blank ctrans window. When I closed the ctrans window it said

X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).

Thanks again for all of the help.

Sean,

Can you try another test. Edit the "gsun01n.ncl" file from the
previous test, and change "x11" to "ncgm".

Then, type:

   ncl gsun01n.ncl
   ctrans -d X11 gsun01n.ncgm

and let me know if you see a plot this time.

You are the second person that's had this problem specifically
on Ubuntu, and I don't think we found a solution for the previous
person either.

I'm trying to google this to see if any info comes up.

The pdf workstation creates perfect images, so I know that I'm coding it correctly. A "blank white" x11 window pops up, and cycles normally when I click it, until all plots are "displayed", and then closes. I tried the command "xeyes" to make sure x11 was working properly, and it did it's normal thing. As a side note, I'm not using CYGWIN (though that installation on another PC works great), but Ubuntu Linux (version 7.10). Any ideas?
