VNC-Viewer for HP-UX 1

[b50443]

Hi,

I have installed the VNC Utility x2vnc-1.2 from the HP-UX Software Porting And Archive Centre, but I do not get a X-Window containing the display of my W2K PC.

(ln x2vnc-1.2 vnc)

Dtterm:
vnc pc1:0 <Thats my input>
vnc: VNC server supports protocol version 3.3 (viewer 3.3)
Password:
vnc: VNC authentication succeeded
vnc: Desktop name &quot;pc1&quot;
vnc: Connected to VNC server, using protocol version 3.3
vnc: VNC server default format:

And then nothing more happens.
Could you help me ??? Any suggestions ?
(xhost+ is set / My HP-UX version 10.20)

I have been able to run a vncserver from HP-UX 10.20; working from memory here, so forgive me for the fog. As I recall, I launched the server using a command, vncserver, which was a perl wrapper script around Xvnc. The first time you run this, it will prompt you for a vnc password, then create a hidden directory, $HOME/.vnc, I think, and put a password file, and an Xstartup script in it. When run, vncserver will check to see if there is already a `hostname`:0 session running; if so, it will increment the number so you have another display ala: `hostname`:1 and so on. In $HOME/.vnc, there will be a log file of that session, so you might want to look there. I have found that with HP-UX 10.20, I had problems with the font resources; I had to modify the vncserver wrapper script and take out one of the fontpaths. This I detected from the log file. Also, the wrapper script is pretty limited; basically, it justs sets up an xsetroot and xterm, then runs twm. I was able to replace that with cde.

As to the PC, I don't see why you would need X capabilities at all. You should be able to just run vncviewer and put in the system name:session, i.e. hostname:1 & go from there.

Good luck,

These may or may not be the same versions you
are running, but I have been able to connect successfuly
from hp-ux 10.20, 11.0 * 11.i to a win 95 or win NT
workstation and vice versa.
