XServer

Mike Burk — Thu, 17 May 2001 10:30:22 GMT

I am trying to display a java app on a 10.2 box over the network that is running on an 11.0 box. I get "connection refused by server" I have run /usr/bin/X11/xhost + but I still get the error?

check your display variables andalso that hostname/ip address resolution resolves correctly & both ways.

for testing dont use the java gui use xclock ... it comes with a -display option too .... does this work ?

Can you post the exact full syntax of the error + contents of /var/dt/Xerrors if timestamp looks relevant ?

ps -ef | grep X on both systems ?

Have you su'd at anytime ?

The display variable is setup correctly, I tried Xclock and it also bombs. I have su'ed on these boxes. When I run the xhost + command I am logged on locally as root, the command runs and then I get a message that states that I need to be logged on locally to disable or enable security?

could this be user based Xaccess control as opposed to host based ..... any problem with posting the above info ?

if ps -ef | grep X comes back with a -auth string one or more of the hosts is running X with user auth enabled.

could try sharing the .xauthority files ?

Whats in Xerrors ?

Hello Mike,

when you "su" you loose your DISPLAY variable!
Set it pointing to the display you are sitting in front
of and do not forget to append ":0.0" to the IP-address
or hostname.
