[Problem with VIPM for linux]

All-

Here is the link to the NI forum concerning this thread.  At this time, I have been successful in launching VIPM in openSUSE Leap 15.1.

This may be due to the Wayland X server. If you are using Wayland, try switching to the Xorg X server and see if the command works.

First, I confirmed that the CentOS VM is using Xorg.

Using the openSUSE VM, I confirmed that the default x server is Xorg (echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE responds with x11).  I was unable to launch VIPM (unable to open x display).  Changing over to Wayland, I again received the same error message.

I will be posting this update over in the NI forums, in the Linux Users group.  Again, if anyone has suggestions, I would appreciate them.

Thank you for your responses.  I will post the question on the NI LabVIEW Linux Users group, and I will also verify the X server that I am using, changing to Xorg if necessary.  I will post the updates here and in the NI user group.

On a side note, I switched the VM over to CentOS7, and I have been able to install and run VIPM using the above link to the additional packages.

[Problem with VIPM for linux]

Having followed all of the above suggestions, I am still unable to open VIPM.  When I run the command "sudo ./vipm" I get an error "Unable to open X display".  I am using openSUSE 15.1, and trying to use VIPM 2017 with LabVIEW 2017.

Any suggestions on how to run this one down?

Thank you!

[VIPM 2018.0.0f2 does not detect LabVIEW 2019]

Reading the above thread, does this mean that the Linux VIPM 2017 will only work on LabVIEW 2017 and not 2018 or 2019?  If so, when does JKI anticipate a release of VIPM for Linux that supports newer versions of LabVIEW?

Respectfully,

David

[Can't install VIPM on RHEL8/LabVIEW 2019]

I am having the same experience using openSUSE.  When installing the LABVIEW 2015 RTE, there is this message:

error: Failed dependencies: nisvcloc < 18.1.0 is obsoleted by (installed) ni-service-locator-19.0.0.49152-0+f0.x86_64

Does anyone have a workaround for this?
