Cadence menu's blank when using NX

Hi there,

has anyone ever seen an issue with blank menu's in schematic and layout when using cadence via NX. We have tried adjusting every NX configuration setting possible but of course the solution may be a combination of settings that we have not tried yet

Thanks

Stu

     Have you called Cadence support? What Virtuoso release are you running?

    Hi Stu,

    Which  version of Virtuoso are you running. I use NX now and then here in Cadence. And we have a few customers using it successfully. 

    If you are running on Windows XP, you probably want to install some fonts to see if they help.

    Hi Guys,

    i have discussed it with a guy i know at a cadence but i've not logged it officially yet.

    The version of cadence is:  IC5141_USR6

    The setup for using NX is:

    1) NX is fired up from an ubuntu 8.04 laptop

    2) The machine on which the NX is running is gentoo linux

    3) From that gentoo linux machine i ssh onto a 2nd machine which is redhat linux 4.0

    4) From that redhat machine i run cadence

    Cheers

    Stu

     Hi Stu,

     2 out of 3 of your  systems (gentoo and ubuntoo) are unsupported platforms.  I don't have them here to try.

    My simple example of RHEL 3 NX into RHEL 4 and running IC5.1.41_USR6 showed  no problems with any menu.

    You might want to simplify your set up like ssh directly into your RH 4.0 box to see if you can isolate the problem. 

    I am sorry I can't be of more help.
