1. Use perfstat to ensure that there are no perf tools processes
running...no glance, gpm, scopeux, and especially no midameon.

2. Use ipcs -m and grep for 0x0c6629c9 and 0x06347849.

3. If either or both of these exist in the shared memory table, then
note down their ID's...they are 4605 and 4606 on my system.

4. Use ipcrm -m to remove the entries from the shared memory table.

5. Do either a mwa start, glance, gpm, or midaemon -p to see if
midaemon starts up with no problems.

Hi,
I have a similar Problem..
giving mwa start the script does not finish end when I control with perfstat it's displayed that scopeux doesn't run...
The problem is fixed only rebooting...
Alex, do you think is a problem like the precedent???

Hi Alex,

Thanks for your help. It's work very well only gpm gives the below error.

CRB: mcm01 # gpm
Connecting to Display...
Error: Can't open display:
Error: Couldn't find per display information

NOTE: I would like to assign you points but the option is with unsigned. How can I fixed it?

Again Thanks,

Augusto

export DISPLAY=local_ip_address:0

eg export DISPLAY=15.145.32.104:0 or you could use the hostname as well just remember to add the :0 !

If you get "connection refused : not authorised...." you need to run xhost + on the system : see previous Forums Posts on xhost or the man page for more details.

Robert > not sure are you saying you have the same error ? Did you try the suggested fix ?

If this doesn't resolve .... open up a new post and we will see what other forum people think ?

Augusto > Nearly forgot The DISPLAY variable must resolve ie if you cant nslookup the ip or hostname between the remote server and the local display it won't work : advise add ip/hostnames of the 2 systems involved to their respective /etc/hosts should do the trick if you do encounter problems.
