Thanks for the response - I just need a little translation into IBM sysprog-ese to get this concept clear.
I am running a windows desktop so I downloaded Xming to use as the Xserver - It installed OK - I then ran Xlaunch to get it going - xming.exe appears as a running process in Task Manager - to configure I selected display number 0 (zero) and accepted all other defaults. On my Zlinux I issued -bash-4.0# set DISPLAY=20.250.180.96:0,0;export DISPLAY Then to test I issued -bash-4.0# xeyes Error: Can't open display: I can ping 20.250.180.96 from zLinux and in a Putty SSH session so I know I have IP connectivity. I'm not sure what " make sure you have run 'xhost +remote.linux.system' on the desktop system" means in the context of the above config. I used xeyes as a test because I don't have xterm (my Zlinux is Fedora11 and xterm doesn't appear when I enter z + TAB in bash. More help needed as I am still in the deep-end floundering ;) Bern.... -----Original Message----- From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:linux-...@vm.marist.edu] On Behalf Of David Boyes Sent: Thursday, 1 October 2009 11:37 PM To: LINUX-390@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Re: Windows emulation On 10/1/09 12:35 AM, "Bernie VK2KAD" <vk2...@hotmail.com> wrote: > I am trying to get bochs working on Fedora11. > > I am using the Hercules image that was distributed in Jun/Jul timeframe > running under Hercules 3.06 > > After manually installing the BIOS images I was able to cleanly install > bochs - when I went to start it I realised that I would need xwindows so I > then did "yum install Xorg*" - the install occurred without a glitch - then > when I go to "startx" I get the following - I am now at the deep end and > floundering - can anyone suggest what steps I need to proceed ??? You do not want to run the X server on the Z10, you run the X server on the desktop machine you are going to use as a display. The default startx script tries to start a X server on the same host -- which it's not going to do because z machines don't have frame buffers. If you are in bash on the Linux guest, start X on your desktop system, make sure you have run 'xhost +remote.linux.system' on the desktop system and use: set DISPLAY=your.desktop.workstation:0.0;export DISPLAY on the remote guest. And then run bochs. The DISPLAY environment variable is used by the X libraries to figure out where to actually send the display information. This is true for all X applications. You can test if you set it up right by doing the above set command and then typing: 'xterm &'. If a window appears on your desktop, you're ready to go. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@vm.marist.edu with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@vm.marist.edu with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
