SOL9 z11vnc (tightvnc)

see if your LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable is set.

echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH

if it is set, add /usr/sfw/lib to it

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/sfw/lib

if it is not set, set it to

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib:/lib:/usr/sfw/lib
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

then try again (from the same shell where you set your LD_LIBRARY_PATH

(or add the path where you had it in the jre-files)

Great that worked - but now I get ./x11vnc 0: ot ./x11vnc machineName:1 XOpenDisplay failed (null)

(staying with the variables :-)): what is your DISPLAY-Variable set to ?

PArdon my ignorance but where is the DISPLAY set inittab?  and secondly?  I had to log off the shell and now I am back to the same error with libjpeg.so - can I place the
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib:/lib:/usr/sfw/lib
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

anywhere in the /etc/profile?  
 
 

if you did not have any LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable before, then then /etc/profile is fine... i'd do it right above the export LOGNAME PATH and do the export along with the others.... like this:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib:/lib:/usr/sfw/lib
export LOGNAME PATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH

(will only work after next login)

as for the DISPLAY-Variable: What does

echo $DISPLAY

say?


And how are you connected to your solaris machine? Locally at the screen ? Via ssh ?

comes back blank line

ok, suppose you are locally at your Solaris machine:

DISPLAY=<yourmachinesname>:0.0
export DISPLAY

or do you connect over the network to your solaris-machine ?

I changed it where you stated and still get the libjepg.so error and I also get  -sh: syntax error: 'fi' unexpected.

hmmm.... /etc/profile looks good... the fi unexpected error points to that there some error between the if and the fi... but I suppose you did not change anything there.... try taking it out again and put it to the very bottom (below the bottom trap 2 3)

ok, yes display looks good now

should I place the display at the end in the profile along withy the LD export?

Yes, that aint a bad place

the error is with the last "fi" before the esac

oh, I see, you deleted a "then"

        if [ ! -f .hushlogin ]

                /usr/sbin/quota

should be

        if [ ! -f .hushlogin ]
        then

I think you almost got me to where this works

In the DISPLAY is the machine name hes019 or the full name is hes019.podl.com ????

hes019 should be fine...

if you

ping hes019

does it say it is alive ?


and just to make sure again: You sit right at the solaris machine, right? And you do have a graphical desktop there ?

oh, i had a closer look at your posts...

Am I right in thinking that you DONT sit directly at your solaris machine, but you telnet/ssh to it ?

If so: put the display variable to the machine you sit right at and then :0.0 (such as hcx142.pdl.pok:0.0)

and then you need to have an X-Server running at the machine where you directly sit.

it does say its alive   I am SSH'en  into the SOL9 system.  I guess I do not understand the ??

so your saying I have to add each system that will vnc into this server in the /etc/profile?

ok, the thing you are trying to run opens up a graphical window. of course you want the window to be opened at your PC, not on the servers console (if ever there is one).

The DISPLAY-Variable tells the system where to open up graphical stuff. so this must be set to Your machine (hcx142.pdl.pok is suppose)

In order to be able to open up a window at your machine a so-called X-server must be running there. What program do you use to ssh to your solaris machine ?

okay i ssh into the sol9 as root start the x11vnc with the name of my PC machine.  I have realVNC on my PC and i issue 9.56.204.19:0  which is the sol9 system and I fail to connect and the ssh logon then shows the xopendisplay fail for my PC

no... the DISPLAY-Variable can be set to one value only... maybe we should start over...

what exactly do you want to be able to do? If the Users should just be able to start graphical applications on your solaris machine then you dont need tightVNC at all. all you need is an X-Server for your local PC, then you ssh into your solarisbox, put the DISPLAY to the right PC and then start xsession (or the apropriate graphical application you want)

I AM sorry i certainly went left on this one.  It appears the only instance of xsession is off of  /opt/sfw/etc/xfce/xsession and not executable.  I have the install CDs which do you suggest.  Again Please excuse my ignorance with the Sun

PLease look at a dev/fb fatal error I opened after I went down the path of an X server.  He says to use VNC.  Let me make this a simple a question as possible.  How do I configure VNC x11vnc to aqccept multiple remote users from various places to a local headless server?   I can do it in Linux with no problem.
