SAM Problem.

[Juan Manuel López]

Hi,
On a new machine, when I try to start sam, show me the message: The display is invalid , or something like this.
I am sure that I have not set any display variable, can anybody tell me what I am doing wrong ?
Thanks in advance.
Juanma.

Hi Juan,

Try running "xhost +" and then exporting the display "export DISPLAY=xxxx:0.0"

Have you tried to set a DISPLAY-Varialble and to export it and then running SAM ?

Hi,
If you execute a
#unset DISPLAY
and try sam again, does it work ?

Hope this helps,
Tom

Just do a
DISPLAY=:0.0;export DISPLAY

if c shell

setenv DISPLAY ipaddress:0.0

Here ipaddress ---->the ipaddress of the machine on which you are trying to open the SAM.

Thanks

As I understand, to use the SAM on text mode, I have to unset DISPLAY and then will go to text automaticaly.
On my system, it does not work, and I do not know why.
I have got " export TERM=hp " on my root .profile, so when sam is trying to start, show me the message " invalid display " or something like that.
That??s my problem, SAM does not start on my HP.

Hi,
mmm, strange ...
Try the following :
#export TERM=hpterm
#sam

If that does not do the trick, try using a telnet to the server. Can you start sam from the telnet session ?

Tom
