I reinstalled vmd as user (not root); i installed it
in directory "/home/benji/vmd".
it doesn't work: there are the same problem:
if i go in vmd's dir and i type "vmd" as user, it
starts and go off, without any error printed in the
shell (it prints "[1] 6853" but the number always
changes).
if i type "vmd" as root, it starts ang go off,
printing in the shell: "Warning: Tried to connect to
session manager, Authentication Rejected, reason :
None of the authentication protocols specified are
supported and host-based authentication failed". in
the shell it also prints "[1] 6933" changing always
the number.
thanks anymore.
