linux xdmcp

Eddy Sun — Wed, 04 May 2005 20:07:25 GMT

tried to start xdmcp query from the local linux for a UNIX client:
#/usr/bin/X11/X -query scs -once
A CDE login window came up on the local linux server. When logged in, nothing came out. Exit by Ctrl+Alt+Backspace and the following message shown on the screen (relevent part):
...
(warning) fglrx: No matching Device Section for instance(BusID PCI:1:0:1) found
Could not init font path element /usr/X1186/lib/X11/fonts/local/, removing from list !
Could not init font path element /usr/X1186/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo/, removing from list !

UNIX: HP-UX 11.0 9000/785
LINUX: Redhat Linux 8.0 3.2-7
XFree86 Version 4.2.0/X Window System (Protocol Version 11, Version 0)
Thanks for any advice

Very strange!
It works for me from RHEL4 to HPUX11.00.

Are you able to connect to this HPUX from other Xserver[s]?

No problem with Other HP-UX as Xservers. Also, I do not have problem in using this linux as Xserver by using rsh (HP-UX as remote client).

check the font path and ensure you have font server running in linux.

check /etc/init.d/xfs and see whether it is running if not re run it. ensure u have disk space avaialble in /tmp and /

also check ur xinitrc file

1. Plenty of space in / and /tmp; > 60G
2. Check ps -e; it's running; xfs script ok;
3. This linux has been used successfully as Xserver by using rsh to other UNIX station.

Can you copy the entire contents of '/var/log/X*.log' to this thread please?

It should have some more information in it.

I am assuming following, please correct me if i am wrong:

X Server is on Linux (RedHat 8.0)
you are trying to launch X query from HP UX machine (HPUX client)

is this correct? or is it the other way around.

one thing which i found is client connections are getting rejected to open terminal sessions. from your X server (linux or HPUX) add the client machine by xhost +
eg: xhost +scs

this will allow access from the client.
