I have an Amazon EC2 instance that runs Ubuntu 16.04 server. I installed atom and for some reason I am not able to start Atom. Everytime I start atom with the command line I see
I still get the error in command prompt but I am able to start atom
Thanks to this guy https://www.zhukun.net/archives/8070
This is what I did
sudo cp /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libxcb.so.1 /opt/atom/
sudo sed -i 's/BIG-REQUESTS/_IG-REQUESTS/' libxcb.so.1
and then
cd /opt/atom
./atom
The output of this being
Xlib: extension "XInputExtension" missing on display ":1".
Xlib: extension "XInputExtension" missing on display ":1".
Xlib: extension "XInputExtension" missing on display ":1".
bash: cannot set terminal process group (-1): Inappropriate ioctl for device
bash: no job control in this shell
But Atom did start as expected!! This is what I wanted.
