Hi,

May I use redhat as X-terminal of HPUX 10.20?
If yes, how can I do?

Please teach me to do implementation.

Thanks

Hi,

X-terminal or X-windows ?

If you want view a HP-UX x-window software say hp omniback . it is possible.

From the linux KDE start a shell and telnet to HP-UX server and login as a user.
now give this command.
$ export DISPLAY=xx.xx.xxx.xx:0.0
where xxx.xxx.xxx.xx is the IP address of the linux server. then
$ xomni
now hp-ux omniback windows will displayed in your linux desktop

regards,

Yi,
My mean is X-window.

But I want to see HPUX's CDE on Linux.

And I want to see login srceen on Linux.

Before I saw some PC's product, seem like Exceed X, which can display CDE on PC.

Thanks for your help

I'd be inclined to use Xnest :

NAME
Xnest - a nested X server

SYNOPSIS
Xnest [-options]

DESCRIPTION
Xnest is a client and a server. Xnest is a client of the real server
which manages windows and graphics requests on its behalf. Xnest is a
server to its own clients. Xnest manages windows and graphics
requests on their behalf. To these clients Xnest appears to be a
conventional server.

OPTIONS
Xnest supports all standard options of the sample server
implementation. For more details, please see the manual page on your
system for Xserver. The following additional arguments are supported
as well.

As I understand it you may already have this installed ? failing that you could always start Xfree86 on your linux system but use -indirect option ( idon't have access to linux at the mo to check the man page out exactly)

I'll be trying that for grins in about 3-4 months. Let me know how it goes, or wait and we'll collaborate.

CDE specifically may be a problem, but I don't think HP-UX cares. If the client is a proper X client, and an authorized user and IP address if you use inetd.sec, you should have no problems.

What's the problem with KDE or even the gnome interface. I'm told by reliable people that HP's going to use gnome in HP-UX 12

There is an open source depot version of gnome that I once tried and failed to install and get working with HP-UX 11. The gnome interface with Linux is a much more flexible and easy to use desktop and as far as I know, omniback shouldn't have problems with it.

I could try this by dail up, let a Linux machine dial work and talk to an HP-UX machine, but that means I'd have to run a phone line on the weekend. I'd rather do something else.

Hello,

This is done in the following way:

As CDE uses some special fonts that probably
are not available on Linux you first has to
set up the fonserver on the HP-UX machine
like this:

1. Log in on the HP-UX machine.

2. Edit the configuration file of the font server:
# cd /etc/X11/fs
# vi config
add the directory /usr/dt/config/xfonts/C to the "catalogue"
line (comma seperated list)

3. Copy /usr/dt/config/Xsetup to /etc/dt/config (if it doesn't already exist

4. Edit /etc/dt/config/Xsetup and add the following line at the end of
the file:
$XDIR/xset fp+ tcp/:7000
Example: $XDIR/xset fp+ tcp/192.15.32.5:7000

5. Edit /etc/rc.config.d/xfs and set RUN_X_FONT_SERVER to 1.

6. Restart the font server:
# /sbin/init.d/xfs stop
# /sbin/init.d/xfs start

On the Linux-machine start the X server
in this way:

/usr/bin/X11/X -query

where hostname is the name of the hp-ux machine
from where you want the CDE login-screen.

Olav Baadsvik

My experience for sharing:

1. your redhat display resolution have to setup as 1280 X 1024 with true color

2. your redhat have to boot on text mode, and then logon.

3. typing " X -query ", that will be work.

4. good luck for who want to try it

5. thanks for all
