Export DISPLAY problem

[Valkiria Santos]

Hello Guys,

I have a problem to do an export display from server to workstation.
I doing:
xhost + (on workstation)
export DISPLAY=:0.0
I tried with IP, alias, hostname...
Doesn??t work!

Name resolution it??Ok.

Maybe some daemon, process, service??

Any idea?

Tks,
Valkiria

1.Who are you logged in as, yourself, or root? Also, what shell are you running, ksh, csh, sh?

2. When you execute the xhost command, what result do you get in return?

3. For ksh, the above should work.. if its csh, your export command should be:

setenv DISPLAY hostname:0.0

For sh, do it in two commands:

DISPLAY=hostname:0.0
export DISPLAY

Hello!

On workstation you shoul do xhost +
and on the server export DISPLAY=:0.0
and run the aplication on the server and the
X output will go to workstation.
Ofcource the X server should run on.

I suspect that you are trying to do the export as another user than the one who initially logged onto the workstation. CDE restarts the display manager at login and only that user can effectively do the xhost command.

Please try opening a new terminal window from the toolbar, and do the xhost + from there.

We use the IP address of the box trying to be the X client.

Our windows network assigns bogus hostnames to all windows pc's logged onto the network. You can see the DISPLAY variable is set to that if you open a gnome terminal window.

One problem. it X apps wont work until DISPLAY is set to IP_addy:0.0

DISPLAY=192.168.0.40:0.0
export DISPLAY

Don't ask me why, I don't know, I'm just reporting results in hopes it helps you.
