Faild connecting to http://sourceforge.net/projects/libsdl-android/files/apk/XServer-XSDL/xfonts.tgz/download
Hi,
I am trying to get XServer-XSDL going on my oder acer aconia tab (a3-a30FHD) with Android 4.4 on it. Gladly I could root it and get a linux running in a chroot.
Instead of using vncserver, I liked to try this X-Server.
But the current version in the PlayStore failed like described here: #112
So I went to see if older versions work. But here I get the message: Failed connecting to http://sourceforge.net/projects/libsdl-android/files/apk/XServer-XSDL/xfonts.tgz/download
and I am stuck with the starting screen (Powered by SDL ... and the logo).
I downloaded the xfonts.tgz manually, can I put the files by myself to the target location and see if this helps?
I have the same problem. If I understand the problem well, it is caused by the fact that sourceforge redirects the link. Since I think xsdl uses curl to download the package, one need to give the option -L to curl:
Even in a real Linux box this works: curl -L https://sourceforge.net/projects/libsdl-android/files/apk/XServer-XSDL/xfonts.tgz/download
this does not work curl https://sourceforge.net/projects/libsdl-android/files/apk/XServer-XSDL/xfonts.tgz/download
Thank you in advance to fix the problem.
It uses Java URL class to download, so no.
SourceForge breaks from time to time, try to download it tomorrow.

Thanks you for your very quick answer.
I read on the google play page of the application some others users have the problem too. Since Sourceforge looks problematic, would it be possible to host the file in an another place (github seems to be a good choice)
And better, if the file can not downloaded, that should not prevent the application from starting. I think the application should take care of such situation and bypass the problem.
Github was broken just yesterday.
Yes, just uncheck the box on the first app start and it will start without extra fonts.
