问题
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 the following
Xlib: extension "XInputExtension" missing on display ":1".
I used vnc to setup ubuntu desktop and I am using vncviewer to access the desktop and start atom.
I am not sure what I am doing wrong. My vncconfig file looks like this
#!/bin/sh
# Uncomment the following two lines for normal desktop:
# unset SESSION_MANAGER
# exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
gnome-session &
gnome-panel &
gnome-settings-daemon &
metacity &
nautilus &
gnome-terminal &
[ -x /etc/vnc/xstartup ] && exec /etc/vnc/xstartup
[ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid grey
vncconfig -iconic &
x-terminal-emulator -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" &
x-window-manager &

This is good in general if you use headless VM;
cd /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/
cp libxcb.so.1 libxcb.so.1.bak
sudo sed -i 's/BIG-REQUESTS/_IG-REQUESTS/' libxcb.so.1
It will fix all apps with same error

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.
