How do I install XWindow?

Dear all!

I setup successfully HP UX BE.11.11. But I did not find XWindow.

How do I find it and install on this server?

Thanks

Re: How do I install XWindow?

Hi,

A doc is available on the following link to configure x windows

http://docs.hp.com/en/5991-6480/5991-6480.pdf

please check also you can check with

On your HP-UX local system, enable it to receive X Window screens from the target system:


# /usr/bin/X11/xhost + targetsystem

The xhost command is described in the xhost(1) manpage.

On the target system, set your DISPLAY environment variable to the domain name or IP address of your local system:


# export DISPLAY=localsystem:0.0
#xwindows

this will start xwindows on you localsystem
but for this you need a reflextion X

Thanks,

Remind that when you switch user you should export DISPLAY and add the xauth-entry;

echo $DISPLAY
xauth list -> find your display entry

su - whatever

export DISPLAY=..........
xauth add "entry you found in formal session"

just to test:
# xclock
