Window Creation Error - Karmic

I'm trying to run SecondLife-i686-1.23.5.136262 on an Ubuntu 9.10 64 bit system with an NVidia GE Force 9500. I keep getting "Window Creation Error" on start up. I read the REAME file and the system is using the native NVidia drivers. Somewhere there was a post suggesting that aliasing needed to be overridden in the Nvidia configuration panel, but that's not solving the problem, either. I also tried the launcher file suggested in the online documentation so that the viewer could run as root. That didn't help.

I'm totally stumped. Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Clyde

Edit - fixed it by going to the NVidia site and downloading the latest driver. There must have been something messed up in my driver installation because doing this fixed the problem. version 185 works fine.

Hi ^^
Did you check yet if "gvfs" is installed? You could do so by using

sudo apt-get install gvfs

if you use a linux that has apt, that is ^^; that command will either tell you the latest version is already installed or will ask you if you want to install it now. That will hopefully solve your problem cause your missing file "libgvfsdbus.so" is part of "gvfs"
