Hi,

1. export DISPLAY=:0.0; xhost +
2. export DISPLAY=IP addr:0.0; xhost +

nothing worked for me?? Is there anything that need to be configured.

Also, Not able to login from Humming bird .

The xhost command must be run on the system with the display.

Hi Jayanthi,

->Start Humming bird software.

->export DISPLAY=:0.0

what is the HP-UX version you have?
which Xserver are you using?is that Xvfb?Could you post the /etc/rc.config.d/xvfb

is your application as well as the Xserver configured on the same host?

Could u check how your system responds to

#export DISPLAY=hostname:15.0
#xset -q
#xhost +



Also post "netstat -an|grep LISTEN|grep :60"

Hi J

Check the file permissions of below mentioned files

/etc/resolv.conf
/etc/nsswitch.conf
/etc/hosts

and
use below mentioned script to start xvfb.

#!/usr/bin/ksh
XPath=/usr/bin/X11
XVFB=/usr/bin/X11/Xvfb
export XPath XVFB
case $1 in
'start')
DISPLAY=`hostname`:5.0;export DISPLAY
nohup $XVFB :5 -screen 0 1024x768x8 &
nohup $XPath/xhost + &
nohup $XPath/mwm &
;;
'stop')
XVFBPid=`ps -ef |grep $XVFB|grep -v grep|awk '{print $2}'`
# echo $XVFBPid
if [ "X$XVFBPid" != "X" ]; then
echo "Killing $XVFBPid"
/bin/kill $XVFBPid
fi
;;
*)
echo "usage: $0 {start|stop}"
exit 1
