Runing X remotely

[Marty Metras]

I have an HP-9000 HPUX 11.0 and I want to run X windows on it from a remote Linux box.
Every once it a while some thing work faster in the GUI.
Can some one point me to what I need to do this?

On the linux box:

# xhost +hp_hostname
(where hphostname is the hostname or IP of the hp box)

login as you normally do, to the hp machine:

# slogin/rlogin/ssh/telnet/etc... hp_hostname

# export DISPLAY=linux_hostname:0.0
# gui_command_here

(linux_hostname can be IP instead, if needed)



Another way is to make sure the Xserver is running on the
HP side, and possibly the X font server as well...
then shutdown X on the linux box, and type:

# X -query hp_hostname

This gives you the entire CDE desktop of the remote machine.
That may or may not be what you desire.
Hope this helped!

On the HP box, you will need to make sure the first variable in the file /etc/rc.config.d/xfs is set to 1

This will start the font server on boot.

This is not needed if you've already done a connect to the box via Exceed or some other X front end.

A search on the itrc search engine for X Windows Linux will reveal a few cookbooks that will tell you how to deal with other issues you need to make the process work perfectly.

Hi Marty,

Client side:
First you have to use this command:
xhost + or xhost +namemachine
With this command you give permission to use your display for output.

Go to the UNIX box en typ
DISPLAY=aaa.bb.c.d:0.0 ( ip adres van je Linux box)
export DISPALY
Typ Xload &


You should see xload screen on your Linux box

Succes

Hi Marty,

you could use "xauth(1)" to grant permission or you could use "ssh" with the "-X" and "-f" option:

|HPUX:
| sshd # must be running
|
|Linux:
| ssh -X -f HPUX /usr/dt/bin/dtterm

FWIW,
Wodisch
