hi, am new to hp-ux, i just bought an hp-ux with the hp-ux 11.0 os, is very old, and i wnat to start the x window system but it send an error that said that couldn't open the x server, i try startx, xinit, and nothing, and also where i can find tutorials for hp-ux os for beginners
is x installed on your system? you probably dont have x installed on your system.
what errors are you gettting when you try to start x?
try issuing the following
export DISPLAY="ip_address_of client_machine"
the try to display your x-window.
if the adove does not work post back with any error messages.
Since you're getting an error message "can't open x server", you almost certainly have x installed.
I kinda agree with Hassan2. But let's say that your ip address is 100.90.80.70. Then you would need:
export DISPLAY="100.90.80.70:0.0"
yeah i overlooked that, i only saw
"i try startx, xinit, and nothing"
in hpux 11.00 you can use x with CDE or VUE application.
in first verify if the software is installed
swlist -l product
in second time verify the run-level
who -r
in third verify the start of the X server
more /etc/rc.log
ls -l /sbin/rc3.d (by default)
in last verify the name service
nslookup <nameserver>
echo $DISPLAY
I fixed the problem, it was the mouse that it wasn't working and i changed and now the GUI is working, and there is a website where i can know more about hp-ux 11.0. Thanks guys for the help.
Hi All
I have a similar issue. Using Relection X for emulations and can get xclock and xload to work. However startx gives the following errors:
# startx
X server: Error in /etc/X11/X0screens (line 612)
Device name invalid or missing after keyword "Screen".
X server: Will try default "/dev/crt"
Failure to open default device file `/dev/crt`.
Please either specify the proper device filename in
your /etc/X11/X0screens file or fix `/dev/crt`. This filename is either
non-existent or is not a character special file.
Fatal server error:
\Eg
giving up.
xinit: Connection refused (errno 239): unable to connect to X server
xinit: No such process (errno 3): Server error.
Have checked and the following products are installed:
VUEtoCDE B.11.11 HP VUE to CDE Migration Tools
X11 B.11.11 HP-UX X Window Software
Xserver B.11.11 HP-UX X Server
