CDE

[Jason Tan]

Is HP-UX 10.x or 11.x default installation include CDE for server? How to check? If is install, is there possible way to call the CDE from windows using some X server emulator software?

Hi Jason,

Yes. Both versions include CDE. I would check if it is properly installed by running /usr/contrib/bin/X11/dr_dt program. It will list out if it is missing any files and permissions.

It is also possible to emulate CDE from windows. The products I know are Exceed and Reflection X.

You need to have the CDE filesets loaded on your system and associated patches
# swlist -l fileset | grep CDE

Once it is installed, there is a start-up script called /sbin/init.d/dtlogin.rc that needs to run.
After this daemon is running, you should be able to establish a connection from your X emulator software, as long as it is configured correctly. There are a number of these on the market, as well as a free ffering from VNC.
