Need to fix display issue

Sreer — Tue, 20 Sep 2011 16:41:47 GMT

Hello Gurus,

I have not much idea about the graphics configuration in hpunix.

process state (/usr/contrib/bin/X11/xinit /home/xstart/.xinitrc) 0 instead of between [1 - 1]

getting this error in my server. Actually server was not in use forlong time.

So i dont have its history of theserver.

My only thing is I need to set the server up for the display using those files.

I can modify if needed...

The thing is that I need to setup the above mntioned file well for my application teams.

For that is it necessary to have a graphics card?

how to find it out?

is it have any relatin ship with X11 forwarding?

Few files and their contents are pasted..

root@serverx:.../root # ls -l /home/xstart/.xinitrc
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root sys 176 Sep 20 16:34 /home/xstart/.xinitrc

This looks like a message from some sort of monitoring agent that is configured to expect to have exactly 1 copy of the command "/usr/contrib/bin/X11/xinit /home/xstart/.xinitrc" running, probably at all times.

This command looks like a command to start a X11 GUI on a locally-attached display. It is not at all related to X11 forwarding: if you connect to this system from some other system, and the other system can display X11 windows, you only need to have the DISPLAY environment variable configured properly to run X11 applications on this system and have them display their windows on the other system.

As far as I know, the /home/xstart directory is not standard in HP-UX. So someone has probably built a custom script for starting up the GUI display without a login prompt.

The .xinitrc file can be used to determine which GUI applications to start for the display. The file you pasted seems to define a simplified desktop: a solid gray background, a clock and a server load meter in the lower right corner, a console log message viewer in the upper right, and a 60-line Xterm window in the upper left. It also allows the "pv2000" system to send remote X11 windows to this system, and runs mwm (Motif Window Manager) to draw the window frames and desktop menus. If the mwm process stops, the X11 display will shut down.

Since the .xinitrc file is in /home/xstart, the command might be intended to be run as user "xstart".

Model 9000/785/C8000 is a workstation, so it most likely has a built-in display adapter. Hopefully it also has a working display connected to it (maybe an old CRT).

What happens if you become root on this system, and then run this command?

su -c "/usr/contrib/bin/X11/xinit /home/xstart/.xinitrc" - xstart

>xhost: unable to open display ""

Have you exported DISPLAY?
