Has anyone used Reflections to connect to there HPUX Version 3 to get a GUI connection. I use if to connect to our old servers just didn't know if it could be used on the Version 3. If so what all has to be done in order to use it. Such as CDE or some other software.

THANKS

Shalom,

I've used reflections, many versions over the years.

Two common problems:
1) User does not own the configuration files needed to log on.
2) HP-UX ships by default with the font server not running

/sbin/init.d/xfs start

vi /etc/rc.config.d/xfs
Configure the first variable to 1 for auto start.

Reflections works great.

Hi David

Did you check the CDE daemon is running or not?

start you reflection Xwindow server
connect to system with an xterm

once logged in execute dtsession.

This will at least give you an idea if things are working.

I am assuming you are attempting to use an broadcast/direct XMDP session.

dt.login needs to be running for XMDP

I don't use it, but my co-workers do without issue on 11iv3. You could always go putty and Xming.

If the dtlogin is not started
/sbin/init.d/dtlogin.rc start

then
Login to the server and type
#export DISPLAY=IP:0.0
#/usr/dt/bin/Xsession &

You can also use the XDMCP method to get access to your CDE desktop from your PC

Otherwise, please post exactly what commands you use and what errors you are getting.

I do believe that is my problem when I go to /sbin/init.d/ there is nothing dt. I don't see a dt anywhere on this server.

CDE is optional on 11.31. You need to install it from your installation media.

When i do a swlist for a product I see CDE comes up. But that is it. I wonder what happen from the warehouse that it wouldn't have been completely installed or something.
