Jaffa Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 Hey guys, I'm having a little more trouble this weekend than usual. Here is the story. X11 wont launch, it just wont. I'm trying to open OpenOffice.org and X11 wont launch. I have tried launching X11 by itself and it bounces in the dock once and then dissappears. this is the first time I have tried it on my MacBook. I installed it off the original DVD media that came with my computer when I first got my macbook, but I have not tried using it until now. I have also tried re-istalling from the original media and it still dowsnt work. here is what the crash log says Host Name: MacBook Date/Time: 2006-10-15 10:32:57.711 +1000 OS Version: 10.4.8 (Build 8L2127) Report Version: 4 Command: X11 Path: /Applications/Utilities/X11.app/Contents/MacOS/X11 Parent: WindowServer [61] Version: 1.2 (???)

Lostgame Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 I have the same problem, actually, it's weird. Use NeoOffice, though, please. It's amazing, universal and aqua.

Jaffa Posted October 16, 2006 Author Share Posted October 16, 2006 I have the same problem, actually, it's weird. Use NeoOffice, though, please. It's amazing, universal and aqua. I have an Intel build of OOo and for what I want to do I would much prefer it to be in X11. If I cant tho NeoOffice might have to suffice. I cant believe I am having this problem tho. tried to fix prebindings? sudo update_prebinding -root / -force Tried it. didnt work Jeff P.S. Any more ideas guys?

Jaffa Posted October 20, 2006 Author Share Posted October 20, 2006 It's fixed. Ok. What I did was I copied the X11.app file from another Intel machine and put it in my Utilities folder and it all works good now Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/30378-x11-wont-load-on-my-macbook/#findComment-213189 Share on other sites More sharing options...
