NDO — Tue, 20 Aug 2013 07:22:47 GMT

Hi All!

I am trying to run xclock on my ssh session to but so far I am having the error above.

what I did was :

export DISPLAY=10.100.4.72:0.0

xclock

Xlib: connection to "10.100.4.72:0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified

Error: Can't open display: 10.100.4.72:0.0
Error: Couldn't find per display information

The above IP is of my pc, and on my pc I have started xming, but I am unable to run it.

If you use X with a ssh tunnel, the display will not be on :0.0 - depending on your applications the variable will be set automatically.

Try mobaxterm - works very good.

Hi!

After installing MobaXterm, I have successfully run xclock, but when lauching ignite from command prompt, I am asked to run xhost +<hostname>, on another server, but when trying to run that I have the following error:

xhost: unable to open display ""

Do I Have to setup DISPLAY on this server as well?

Did you connect from the first hp-ux server to a second? Using ssh too?

No.

What is happening is that I have installed ignite server sofware on one server, and I have managed to create two network clients from launching "ignite" on the command prompt from the ignite server, so when the graphical interface is launched and I go to menu Actions then "create a network recovery recovery archive", in the end it ask me to run "xhost +<hostname> on the client server, but then fails with "command acess using ssh -X to host was denied"

so I am not sure that I have to run ssh -X <hostname> from the first server or not

I will close this thread here, and move this to the ignite forum

>> it ask me to run "xhost +<hostname> on the client server,

Did you run xhost on the client?
(in this case this means the ignite SERVER)

No , I have run that on the server that I want to create an archive (not the ignite server)
