XTERM

[khilari]

Hi people, actually i need to use a GUI application, and my TERM is set to ansii. Now i need to set it to XTERM in order to get the GUI enabled. So, how do i go about making my TERM, Xterm.

Thanks.

How are you connecting to the machine? What package are you using?

You normally get ansi when you telnet with a non-GUI type of terminal. Just setting your terminal to xterm will not necessarily allow you to run GUI applications.

To run the SG MGR you MUST be running something like REFLECTION X, Hummingbird Exceed or something similar on a PC. Or if you are logged into the machine directly then you must be logged into CDE.

Khilari,

What kind of X-software are you using? Exceed, reflectionX, VNC?

Once you have one of these, you just need to set your display to be the ip address or name of the server that you are using, into the terminal with your command line prompt. ie:-

# export DISPLAY=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:0.0

Where the xxx=ip address of your x session.
or:-

#export DISPLAY=:0.0

Where the server_name is the name of your x session.

Hope this helps.

Khilari,

Ok:-

1) Start your exceed session and use it to log onto your server.
2) Find out what your PC IP address is, this will be the address that will act as your GUI interface address.
3) export DISPLAY=123.456.789.101:0.0
where the IP address of your pc is the adress.
4) Start your application GUI, it should appear on your PC.
