IO error on X display

[Namit]

Hi,

What is this IO error on X display 404eeea8 Error: 238 ?
From where can I see some X display error-list, where I can find out the meaning of Error # 238 ?

Thanks

You're getting "connection timed out" error.

# grep 238 /usr/include/sys/errno.h

AS S.K.chan referred to it basically tells us nothing other than there was a problem with some form of communication between client and server.

you may find more useful info in /var/dt/Xerrors or $HOME/.dt/errorlog or even the syslog.log.

However it would also be useful to tell "us" what events lead to the error, is it reproduceable at will, what H/W and O/s is involved etc etc.

Thanks, but I need to know about the X display error also ... this is exactly what I got :

ERROR[0]:PMD connection lost ...
## IO Error on X display 404eeea8
## Error: 238

Are you talking NNM's PMD ? Does PMD core dumps on you when you get the error ? Are you running remote NNM to display X local when it happens ? The X-display list that you're asking is going to turn out to be very "general" error message. The underlying actions that you took will help determine what actually the error means.
