I asked about this a while back with no response, but now have a bit more
information. Still no idea how to fix it.
I am occasionally seeing the above error when running various programs.
Originally, I discovered it when running the "display" command from
ImageMagick.
$display picture.jpg
display: color is not known to server `FOREGROUND': No such file or
directory @ error/xwindow.c/XGetPixelPacket/3064.
No picture is displayed.
GraphicsMagick does the same thing, but it shows the picture:
$ gm display picture.jpg
gm display: Unable to load font
(-*-helvetica-medium-r-normal--12-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1) [Resource temporarily
unavailable].
gm display: Color is not known to server (FOREGROUND) [No such file or
directory].
gm display: Color is not known to server (BACKGROUND) [No such file or
directory].
I have now discovered a tcl/tk program that appears to have the same issue:
$ ./Mobi_Unpack.pyw
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./Mobi_Unpack.pyw", line 211, in <module>
sys.exit(main())
File "./Mobi_Unpack.pyw", line 202, in main
root = Tkinter.Tk()
File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line 1745, in
__init__
self.tk = _tkinter.create(screenName, baseName, className, interactive,
wantobjects, useTk, sync, use)
_tkinter.TclError: unknown color name "BACKGROUND"
My reading indicates that this may be due to an issue with the xorg rgbpath
declaration, but I don't know how to check what xorg is actually using
(since the rgbpath declaration doesn't appear in any of the files in the
xorg.conf.d subdirectory). /usr/share/X11/rgb.txt is present, though.
Where and how is FOREGROUND and BACKGROUND defined for this purpose?
