How to startup x windows

[Lawrence Mahan]

Where do I look to found how to start using X-windows on an HP-9000 system (N4000) for my PC?
I see several reference to needing this for some utilities but no reference as to how to get the interface up and running.

Thank You:
Lawrence M.

Hi

I think u are talking about the X-terminal software used to connect unix box from windows PC. For this u start the x-windows software and minimize it. Then on unix box type, export DISPLAY=:0.0

Then u start the applicaton from unix box.

Hi,

To get the X-windows/CDE, you need software emulator (eg. hummingbird, reflection). When you would like to run the X-windows from your PC, you need to make sure that 'port 6000' is open on the connection from your PC to HP-UX system.

Check the url below (docID : KBRC00000052) about 'Setting up to run CDE and HP-UX applications with Reflection X' for your reference :

Hope this information can help you.

Cheers,

Make sure the HP-UX box is at the correct (3)run level to start the X SW. Indirect way of checking
ps -ef|grep dtlogin
if not - man dtlogin is a good starting point
Then from PC with X emulation SW and try to connect with XDCMP DIRECT or BROADCAST. Previous response have define the rules of network path

Having set up the DISPLAY environment variable on the unix box to point to my PC, My start -> run -> xterm shortcut on my PC looks like this:

C:\WIN32APP\XCURSION\x86\launch.exe -Xapp -t TCPIP -m rexec cis1 -l root -pwd !pT8Ij$3ekP9q00NX xterm -ls

Ie it logs me in, and the '-ls' runs my .profile, so with 1 click - I'm ready to work in my xterm envoronment.

Is X-windows server dtlogin running in hp machine. Check it as,

# ps -ef | grep dtlogin
Else start as,

# /sbin/init.d/dtlogin.rc start

Use client side X-windows client like Xmanage and start with it's hostname / ipaddress. If you are executing applications from server and wanting that to be viewed in client side then,

# export DISPLAY=:0.0

Start that application in server and passive mode of client application in client. You can work now.
