For the user id you are using, you need to have a few things defined:

a default shell in and home directory in /etc/passwd

If you have a home directory, there should be a file there called .profile

This lets you set a variable called TERM.

This is necessary for normal telnet or ssh operations.

at log on try this:

env | grep TERM

It is either not set or set incorrectly.

Hi,
Please modify the file ~/.dtprofile, uncomment "#DTSOURCEPROFILE=true"!
In ~/.profile,set the TERM variable correctly, for example:

if [ "$TERM" = "" ]
then
eval `tset -s -Q -m ':?hp'`
else
eval `tset -s -Q`
fi

Hope this can help you!

Hi,

if you can log in to hp-ux box, to open graphical terminals or any kind of graphics windows you must do two things:
1.- Run the x windows server called Exceed from your windows box
2.- In the text terminal you are log in type:
export DISPLAY=ip_address:0.0

where the ip_address is the ip address you are connect from.

then you can run your graphical application.

Frank.

Thank you all for your responses.

I was able to correct the issue by installing the gold pack bundles. This was a new install, I had managed to configure everthing but had forgotten to install the support plus cd. I was installing an app and realized I was missing the bundles.

After install, the terminal consoles were working (Yep I am scratchig mey head on this one). But it works now.
