How can I access my Remote Server in GUI

How can I access my Remote Server in GUI?

I am following these commands:
#export DISPLAY=IP_ADDRESS_OF_MY_PC:0
#cd /opt/perf/bin
#gpm
Connecting to Display...
Error: Can't open display: 10.66.70.188:0
Error: Couldn't find per display information
#

gpm is working with another users, but I am not able to access my server in GUI using gpm.

I tried xmanager & hummingbird software also.

My OS is - HP-UX 11i V2

Is there another utility sothat i can get my server in GUI?

Thanks
Vipin

Vipin,

Try
#export DISPLAY=IP_ADDRESS_OF_MY_PC:0.0

Hi Vipin,
try also

export TERM=xterm

Since you have X server software installed on your PC, you should be able to access the server. I assume that you can ping the server from the PC and the server can ping your PC. You probably need to run the xhost command to allow your PC access. Man xhost for details.

You can use VNC to get display from your server. Download is avaiable at http://www.realvnc.com/download.html.

Or else, you can #export DISPLAY=IP_ADDRESS:0.0
and try connecting from XManager

I tried all these things

#export DISPLAY=IP_ADDRESS_OF_MY_PC:0.0
#export TERM=xterm
#cd /opt/perf/bin
#gpm
Connecting to Display...
Error: Can't open display: 10.66.70.188:0
Error: Couldn't find per display information
#

then i also tried with xmanager, but still i m mot able to connect.

My PC and server acn ping to each other

Did you try "xhost +"?


Pete

[Vipin Singhal]

yes Pete,
I tried also xhost +

but still not working

[Pete Randall]

You say that you tried

"export DISPLAY=IP_ADDRESS_OF_MY_PC:0.0"

yet your error message still says "Error: Can't open display: 10.66.70.188:0", with only one zero. Could you try that again please?

Vipin, Did you keep XManager in passive mode ? If its not done, you will receive same error.
