That is the message that shows when I try to launch the latest Zimbra Desktop.

I am running it under OpenSuSE 10.3. Where do I begin to troubleshoot?

Thanks.

Nevermind, uninstalled, did and rm -rf on /zdesktop, reinstalled...works now.

Maybe I had an earlier version installed prior?

Anyway, works now.

Go to the folder where you installed it then

./zdesktop stop

./zdesktop start

And see if you can reconnect to it via prism / Zimbra offers Open Source email server software and shared calendar for Linux and the Mac in a browser.

Watch the zdesktop/log/mailbox.log for errors.

Nvm then - might do those steps first if there's a next time.

Thanks Mike. Always good to know those things. Also gives a little insight

into how to control and test the low level stuff which I always like to know.
