Failure to open GUI on hpux 715 running 11.0 OS

[Dan Walker]

I am trying to run SAM on a remote server using the GUI on a 715 HPUX machine. I put in
export DISPLAY=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:0.0
but still no GUI shows up.
What am I doing wrong?

[Patrick Wallek]

On your local machine, NOT the one you are trying to run SAM from, you will need to do either an 'xhost machine_name' where machine_name is the machine you are attempting to run SAM from, or to allow ALL machines access you can do an 'xhost +'.

xhost is located in /usr/bin/X11

[Bill McNAMARA_1]

the xhost command allows this connection to be made.
If the xhost does not fix it ( you should be seeing permission denied style errors ) make sure the application runs a x interface and that you're not going through a firewall blocking port 60000.

Later,
