x-windows with cde/gnome/kde via xdmcp

Hi

I'm a newbie to HP-UX. How would I go about setting up CDE for use with X-Windows on my WindowsXP PC? Can you provide any easy-to-read documentation (or link)? (I've tried docs.hp.com)

Regards
Luq A

Hi Luq,

What kind of X emulation software do you use on your PC ?
(Xvision, reflectionX, CygwinX etc)

Hi,

For Reflexion, you just need to export the following in your UX users .profiles:

export DISPLAY=":0.0"

Hi Robert-Jan

I use Starnet's X-Win32 x-windows to bring the CDE to my windows environment. It does this using the XDMCP protocol.

Hi Luq,

For reflectionX, After installation and setup (easy processes). To configure, Go to start -> Program -> Relection -> Wizards -> Connection Wizard. The reflection connection wizard dialog box will appear. Just supply the relevant info and click next next until its done. Thereafter, launch it and you are on.

All the best.

Charles.

I'm not using RelexionX, just wanting to use CDE on my PC.

Hi Luq,

Have a look at this tutorial on the starnet webpage, it should give you a good run through of how to set it up on your PC.

http://www.starnet.com/support/#tutorial

And if that doesn't help then try this link for there support, they do state that they give free phone and email support.

Re: x-windows with cde/gnome/kde via xdmcp

Hi Luq,

Check if the CDE login deamon is running:

#ps -fu root|grep dtlogin

If not, execute this:

#/sbin/init.d/dtlogin.rc start

PS: what's HTH? Huge Tones of Hugs?? :)

Sorry Eric,

HTH is "Hope This Helps", I suppose after all the discussion on using proper English I better stop using it. It never even crossed my mind until you said it so thanks but no hugs unfortunately.

Thanks guys. I'll try the tutorial and FAQs from Starnet. I'd actually like "XDMCP config on HP-UX" documention.
