    Odd problem with gVim

    I have an odd problem with gvim when editing files on a remote machine... It goes something like this:

    Code:
    milambar@localhost: ssh -Y remotemachine
password:
Welcome.
milambar@remote: gvim somefile.php

    And at this point gVim appears, and works from this point on without a issues... So.. I'm wondering why invoking gVim, which is a text editor, is trying to access ALSA, which is sound related?

    Re: Odd problem with gVim

    Does this happen with other applications? What happens if you use -X to enable X11 forwarding, rather than -Y?

    Re: Odd problem with gVim

    No, it only happens with gvim.

    When I use -X instead of -Y, I get:
    Code:
    ALSA lib confmisc.c:670:(snd_func_card_driver) cannot find card '0'

    Which is much shorter, but still rather weird imho.

    Well, try:
    Code:
    gvim --disable-sound somefile.php

    Re: Odd problem with gVim

    Although it seems sound related, is X installed on the other machine? Is there a working desktop environment, or does it offer only CLI interface?
    How do I install <program X> || I want a script!! || Chinese isn't ready for the desktop

    Re: Odd problem with gVim

    The remote machine has X installed, although because it operates 'headless' except when something goes wrong, X is not normally running. Would this be what is causing it?

    Also --without-sound, as suggested, doesn't appear to be a valid switch in "man gvim", but I tried it anyway. Nothing different happened.
