Hi everyone,

Im working on HP-UX 11.11. I need to connect to machine from another one that has a linux system.
Im using telnet, to connect that machine from another one and i need a X terminal. For that, i have export the DISPLAY.
But when i try to open a x terminal it says:
# xterm Xt error: Can't open display: %s

Need help to solve this, please.

Thanks in advance.

Hi, thanks for ur attention.

Im exporting DISPLAY with:
export DISPLAY=192.168.13.30:0.0
where 192.168.13.30 is the IP of the machine that have X terminal.

I also have done the command "xhost +" on the machine that have X terminal, to accept external connections.

Hi,

No, it does not work. It says:
Error: Can't open display: 192.168.13.30:0.0

It seems there is a firewall problem or the port is close at 192.168.13.30 machine. I have tried to export from another machine with Linux and it works fine.

Anyway, thank u very much for ur attention.

Best Regards

Pinki

On the linux machine, can you try to issue the following command:

xhost +box1

where box1 = ip address of the hp-ux machine

Same error.

Suppose Machine A = 192.168.13.30 with Ubuntu.

Machine B = 192.168.13.50 with red Hat
Machine C = 192.168.2.20 with HP-UX.

I have done:
1-> xhost +192.168.13.50 on machine A;
2-> Open a ssh session to machine B;
3-> export DISPLAY=192.168.13.30:0.0
4-> xclock &
Result: Error: Cant open display: 192.168.13.30:0.0

Same error...
