1) You do have a XWINDOW server on you telnet terminal, correct. 2) is the DISPLAY environment variable set up correctly? Note - the DISPLAY variable should have the IP address of your display station (telnet terminal), not the terminal type. something like:
export DISPLAY='a.b.c.d:0' vt382 sounds more like a terminal type, not an ip address or host name (resolvable to an IP address via DNS). -- John McKown Senior Technical Specialist UICI Insurance Center Applications & Solutions Team +1.817.255.3225 > -----Original Message----- > From: Larry Heath [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Thursday, December 12, 2002 9:06 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: No GUI ?? > > > I've installed redhat 7.2 in a S390 LPAR, booted from DASD, > set DISPLAY to > vt382 but when I telnet in using > TeraTerm, I get the following when trying to activate gnome (exec > gnome-session) > Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: > SESSION_MANAGER=local/linux2.shawinc.com:/tmp/.ICE-unix/8879 > > Any thoughts on why or on how to activate a GUI?
