I am not able to connect the GUI mode using XDMCP in HP-UX 11i v3

[senthil_kumar_1]

Hi All,

I am new to HP-UX.

I have installed HP-UX 11i v3 in new 5 HP VMs.

I have checked if the CDE is installed:

# swlist -l product | grep -i CDE
CDE B.11.31 HP-UX CDE User Interface


I am able to connect X-Terminal through exceed and run graphical window / application (xclock).

But i am not able to connect GUI of whole server through XDMCP.

How to do solve this.

I would expect something like this:

CDE-English B.11.31 English CDE Environment

Hi Torsten,

I want to install "CDE-English B.11.31 English CDE Environment".

Where we can download from?

[Torsten.]

Do you still have your installation media (DVD)?

[James R. Ferguson]

Hi:

With 11.31, CDE is an optional product. Select the CDE-xxx bundle where "xxx" is the language you want. You will find this bundle in your core OS DVD.

Hi

If you have installation media you can insatall it from that DVD.

Shalom,

Two additional items.

1) The font server is not run by default.

/sbin/init.d/xfs
Check /etc/rc.config.d/xfs

Set the start variable to 1.

2) XDMCP is blocked by some vlan configurations on the router. Try a direct connect after you have confirmed the font server is enabled.

Hi All,

Is it "CDE-English" coming with first DVD or second DVD?

Now i have mounted the first DVD in the location "/cdrom" from that how to install the CDE-English.

Could you please guide me.

Hi (again):

> Is it "CDE-English" coming with first DVD or second DVD?

Probably the second DVD, though I'm not positive. There should be an index (list of contents) on the DVDs that will guide you.

# swinstall -s /cdrom CDE-English

Would it not be faster to just put the media in a DVD-ROM drive and look at it than to post a question here and wait for the answer?

To summarize:

CDE is not installed by default with 11.31

xfs is not configured to auto start.

Try reinstalling or installing CDE English, and make sure that font server is running before you do anything else.
