HP 9000 rp3440 hp 11

[Phillip Popp]

Hi,
I have a remote box rp3440 running hp11. I use vnc server to access a CDE gui as that box does not have a graphic interface for a monitor. My problem is that I can not launch a terminal window other then the one already launched. I am tryinh to launch from terminal icons, not sure of how to run a terminal window from the command line. When I try to run sam, I get the following error.


The display environment variable is set to "hpserv03:1.0", but the current configuration wont allow sam to run on that display.

The DISPLAY environment variable must be incorrect or if you are running sam remotely you may need to allow the remote system to access your local X server by typing
/usr/bin/X11/ xhost +hpserv03

on your local machine

I say no to running sam in a terminal version and try the command suggested above and get the error.

/usr/bin/X11/ xhost: unable to open display "hpserv03:1.0"

I am not very familiar with display settings or how t ochange the enviroment variable or what to set it to.

Any help you guys can give me would be great. As I mentioned it is not just sam but I can not launch any terminal window.

Thanks,

Phil

Hi

Firstly export the display by doing following

#export DISPLAY=hpserv03:1.0:0.0

then run the command.

Shalom Phil,

Suggestions:

If you have a Linux box or virtual machine available, try this.

ssh -X hpserv03

Then try xclock and check functionality.

The ssh command with the -X switch sets up an X windows tunnel, secure through ssh. It will let you run most X windows applications without difficulty.

You may still need to set your DISPLAY variable, depending on your profile settings, but you can set up as many connections as you desire this way.

Hi Phil,

What did you change on the system? Maybe this could give you a clue where the problem lies...
