Cannot connect to HPUX 11i

Hi Everyone,

When trying to connect to my HP-UX 11i server from a Solaris chooser on a Sun Ray (it is a thin-client), I get the error listed below in my /var/dt/Xerrors. I can connect to a HPUX 10.20, 9.05, or any other type of UNIX from the chooser screen on this thin-client. Why does it only fail on HPUX 11.0 and 11i? What is so different about the fonts on this OS? I can connect to this server from another brand of thin-client, but this other brand of thin-client (NCD) has its own font server.

The HP-UX 11i server has no customization in X. I.E None of the /etc/dt/config scripts have been modified.

Warning: Cannot convert string "-dt-interface system-medium-r-normal-s*-*-*-*-*-
*-*-*-*" to type FontList
Warning: Cannot convert string "-dt-interface system-medium-r-normal-s*-*-*-*-*-
*-*-*-*:" to type FontList

*-*-*" to type FontSet
Warning: Missing charsets in String to FontSet conversion
Warning: Unable to load any usable fontset
Warning:

Conversion failed. Cannot load font.

Please help. This is driving me crazy!

Thanks!!!

Is the font server (xfs) running on your HPUX 11i server?
Check /etc/rc.config.d/xfs
Set RUN_X_FONT_SERVER=1
Then run: /sbin/init.d/xfs start

Seems in 11.00 and 11.11(11i) the default setting for the font server is off.

The procedure above will correct the problem.

Make sure the DISPLAY variable is set properly so that X output goes back to the workstation you are working with.

export DISPLAY=192.168.0.20:0.0
