Gwibber used to work before but after updating my system via yast, gwibber does not start anymore. When I tried to start gwibber in a console, I get the following console messages. I’ve tried to provide as much info as possible. Please give some directions to solve this issue.
It should be noted that I am running vncserver on this system that is serving desktop on display 6. I’m assume that’s where “:6” comes from.
I also don’t know if executing “xrandr -q” giving the message “RandR extension missing” is significant to this issue as the libxrandr is available.
$ gwibber
Xlib: extension “RANDR” missing on display “:6”.
