Creation/Management/Remote Control/Linux

Introduction

Because of the variety of Linux Operating Systems available problems might raise when using GraalOnline software. This page will outline a few known problems and solutions on how to fix them.

Remote Control Directories

The Remote Control client uses 2 directories within the graal root directory. The first directory is: ~/.graal/rc which stores the control2config.txt configuration file, private messages, and player profiles. The second directory stores the language-specs, images, and the executable file located at ~/.graal/graal4/rc/.

Remote Control from any Directory

To begin with the Linux Remote Control client can only be launched from the directory it is executed from without crashing due to not being able to find the images used by the graphical interface of the Remote Control client. This disallows the user to create a shortcut for the client.

Fix

Open a Terminal session and type the commands below:

 cd ~/.graal/graal4/rc/
 mv rc rc_bin
 nano rc

Using the text editor 'nano' type in the following:

 #!/bin/sh
 #cd ~/.graal/graal4/rc/
 exec ~/.graal/graal4/rc/rc_bin

Now set execute permissions so you can launch the file:

 chmod +x rc

This should allow the Remote Control client to be launched from any directory as a shortcut.
