Trying to capture system performance information.

[Keith Fuller_1]

Hi All

I am trying to capture system performance information using perf, glance and something called GPM.

When I try and use GPM from my workstation it says:

Error: Can't open display:
Error: Couldn't find per display information

How do i go about finding out my display information.

First off I'd run xhost + on your local display / terminal and ensure the DISPLAY enviroment variable is also exported correctly eg
#xhost +
#export DISPLAY=hostname:0
#gpm

if that fails can you confirm you are running the gpm process locally on the workstation and
nslookup og hostname and IP are working correct

Hi

The application is basically asking for an address to send the gui to (ie , the ip of your workstation)

do something like

export DISPLAY=:0.0

You will need to be running xwindows or pcxware
