Hi:

Make sure that you have set and exported the DISPLAY variable. Substitute your IP address (for that of 10.100.101.102) in the example below:

# export DISPLAY=10.100.101.102:0.0

Regards!

Hi,

You should have a X Session open either on same host or any other host within same network for this to work.

The reason what appears here is that you have X session open on some other host and then you are doing telnet/rlogin to this host. Is not it?

If yes find out the default DISPLAY set on the host where the X-session is open by
#set |grep DISPLAY
DISPLAY=10.51.25.227:0.0

Set the same DISPLAY in the session of that host where you want to run SAM in GUI mode by

#export DISPLAY=10.51.25.227:0.0

Now if SAM is run it should open up in GUI mode only.

HTH,
Devender

Can you give some more information? Are you using the console, a terminal or connecting from a PC?

If you are connecting from a PC, you'll need an X Server running on your PC before you'll be able to get the GUI interface to work.

In my environment I can't login directly as root due to security policy. When I use "su - root" I lose the GUI variables and they must be reset.

Please let us know more and maybe we can help.

Stephen, i am using a x-terminal and logging on as root, when i type in SAM i get the TUI version not the GUI.
i know that i need to add the DISPLAY in my env, but i want to do it right.
thank you in advance

# export DISPLAY=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:0

Where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx equals the IP address of your local terminal (pc).

thanks,

Hi,

put something like this in $HOME/.profile or /etc/profile:
(part of our common template):

if [ -t 1 ]
then remhost=`who am i -R | awk '{print(substr($NF,2,length($NF)-2))}'`
# post-processing of remhost
case "$remhost" in
'') remhost=localhost
disp=:0.0 ;;
*:0.0) disp=$remhost
remhost=${remhost%:*} ;;
*:*) remhost=${remhost%:*}
disp=$remhost:0.0 ;;
*.*) remhost=${remhost%%.*}
disp=$remhost:0.0 ;;
*) disp=$remhost:0.0 ;;
esac
DISPLAY=${DISPLAY:-$disp}
export DISPLAY
fi

Hi,

Perform the following steps to run SAM in GUI mode:

1. Uncomment 'DTSOURCEPROFILE' in the '/.dtprofile' file.

2. Logout

3. Login again. (start a new shell session for changes to take effect)


From doc A5840407 in knowledge base.
