Xwindows problem

[Paul_481]

Hi,

We got a newly installed rp4440 server with HPUX 11i. We need to install oracle on the system and we need GUI to do it. I tried to connect to the server from my windows workstation but failed to. No error message, Xwindows just closes.

Since this is newly installed, we have not tried to connect to the server before using xwin.

Regards,
Paul

HI paul,

U have any Xmanager or ReflexionX software, that will do the task for you, check in the /etc/hosts file for the host entry. and see if dtlogin.rc service is running ??

let me know.

Regards,
Govind.

Try this:
Start X on your PC. (don't try to connect to the server yet)
Open a regular telnet session form your PC to the server and type "who -u"
Find your login session, and find where you connected from in the right-hand column.
Now (assuming you're using ksh or POSIX)type "export DISPLAY=:0.0" (without the quotes or <>'s)
Then type "nohup /usr/dt/bin/Xsession&"
This should bring up CDE on your PC, and you can then disconnect the telnet session

Hi,

Check the /etc/hosts

127.0.0.1 localhost loopback
192.168.15.17 idmp004

Check dtlogin

# ps -ef|grep dtlogin
root 1703 1677 0 15:41:41 ? 0:00 /usr/dt/bin/dtlogin
root 8909 8775 0 19:31:09 pts/ta 0:00 grep dtlogin

Check display
# echo $DISPLAY
172,16.69.88:0.0

Check Xsession
# ps -ef|grep Xsession
root 8807 8775 0 19:28:14 pts/ta 0:00 /usr/bin/ksh /usr/dt/bin/Xsession
root 8917 8775 0 19:31:51 pts/ta 0:00 grep Xsession

It seems all are working fine but still cant connect using Xwin.

Xwin cofig
session name:idmp004
connect using:XDMCP
hostname: 192.168.15.17
XDMCP:Query

Any other ideas?

Regards,
Paul

Paul,

Check display
# echo $DISPLAY
172,16.69.88:0.0

is that a typo ? (127,16.69.88 > 127.16.69.88)
