Cannot start X server: Envizex

[Floyd Rose]

I have some very old Envizex X Terminals and recently had to change my boot system from my HP system to an AIX system. The files seemed to install okay and the download works to the terminals. However when it comes time to initialize the X server I get an error message saying..."Failed to load X Server: Not owner". I suspect a permissions problem but do not know where to look. Any suggestions?

[Charles Slivkoff]

The terminals use either NFS or TFTP to access the Netstation software (formerly known as Enware).



If you are using NFS, be sure that the terminal name is specified in the config screen. Also, make sure that name resolution works (forward & reverse) from the server. Finally, make sure that the terminal has access to the software.



If you installed the Netstation sw from it's bundle (and didn't just copy it over), then you should have an "xtadm" script. One of it's options is for installation testing, specifically for NFS/TFTP.



Hope this help!

Chuck is right, you need to make sure /opt/hpxt is in your /etc/exportfs
use the xtadm script.

If you're on an AIX system, you'll need to install the s/w to a hp-ux system then copy it across to the aix system.
You'll find it difficult to get a patch for netstation s/w for aix. tar your /opt/hpxt and untar it to the aix system.
Make sure bootp/ nfs/ tftp services are running.
