Hi david,

The Connection refused message you’re seeing is displayed after an application fails to shut down properly (i.e in the case of a crash).

  

Can I ask if PVRTexTool works for you? This uses the same code to manage windows as PVRShaman and PVRShaderEditor.

  

Regards.

i just reinstalled the UBUNTU and the sdkl !!  
  
I have the same error from the first run just after the install completed  
  
PVRGeoPODGUI does work for me but not PVRTexTool from the sdk 3.0.  
  
The previous sdk work fine.  
  
regards  
david

Hi David.

We’ve replicated the issue and are presently looking in to a fix.

The reason that the previous SDK works is that SDK 3.0 uses an entirely new GUI API than the previous release, hence the differences.

  

As a work around, you should be able to launch the utilities if you’re root. You can either do this via su, sudo or gksudo.

  

Regards,

Arron.

Hi David.

Indeed, when the problem is solved we will release updated versions of the&nbsp;relevant&nbsp;utilities.

  

Best regards.
