error message acc. DISPLAY

Klaus Bobzin — Thu, 21 Nov 2002 09:23:52 GMT

I'm getting following error:
xrdb: Connection refused
I suppose this occurs in connection with Exceed. Maybe someone has a solution.
Thanks in advance.

xrdb : Xresource database : used to get or set the contents of the RESOURCE_MANAGER
property on the root window of screen 0, or the SCREEN_RESOURCES

so most likely cause is probably
$DISPLAY not set correctly.

could you elaborate on how and under what enviroment this occurs ...

when the user tries to open a window on the server through EXCEED the error occurs:

DISPLAY=xxxxxx:0.0
xrdb: Connection refused
xrdb: Can#t open display 'xxxxxx:0.0'

Thx!

Ok lets rewind a bit, user starts Exceed, are they logging into CDE first before they try to open the window ?

If not how could I reproduce the circumstances with my copy of exceeed ?

Is the DISPLAY setting in the xrdb error that of the pc or hpux system ?

what window ... what's the application ?

hi alex,
CDE login is working, user is connected to the system. user opens a terminal window via telnet or rlogin and is asked for the password. after this the message "checking for disk quotas" appears and after this the error message. i hope this infis useful.
bye

OK so the user rlogins or telnets first before seeing this message presumably to a remote system ?

do they export DISPLAY in their remote .profile or run xrdb commands or similar from within their .profile

can you check what the DISPLAY variable is set to once they have telenetted .. does it return the local host ID or the remote system you have telnetted to ?

Also consider running dr_dt and examining the output or checking ll /usr/bin/X11/xrdb

-r-xr-xr-x 1 bin bin

does this occur for all users ?

anything extra in $HOME/.dt/errorlog or /var/dt/Xerrors ?
