Hi,

I would like to run a software on a computer with linux and to see it on another computer linux or windows via telnet.

The software is a java program so I should see it the graphical interface of the soft when I run it in a telnet terminal.

When I run it, it's written :
_X11TransSocketINETConnect: Can't connect: errno = 111

I can start the Xserver so it should be well configed. I tried to run it from a linux computer with the option -display but it's the same result.

I can run the software on the computer where it is. The only way I find to run the software is with VNC but the VNC windows is always shuting down.

Does somebody have an idee to help al least a liitle bit about the error _X11... ? Where does come from this error?

Xavier

/usr/include/asm/errno.h

#define ECONNREFUSED 111 /* Connection refused */

is your DISPLAY variable set up correctly (e.g. DISPLAY=mymachine.local:0.0)
and exported (export DISPLAY)
does your X server allow you to connect ?
(xhost +myclient.local)

the computer running the program is ROBOT1 (server side)
the computer on which I want to see it is XAVIER (client side)

The variable DISPLAY on the server side is set to 'XAVIER:0.0'
I run the command 'xhost +robot1.asl' on the client side and it says that it adds robot1.asl to the access control list
But it's still the same thing when I run the program

Xavier

can you start other programs (e.g. xterm, xclock) ?

No I can't run other programs like xterm or xclock. The error is the same.

try this:

1) log on to your SERVER ( the one with the big display and the mouse is the server in X11 :-) and type "xhost +" to disable access control completely and disable any firewall you might have running
2) log in to a shell (assuming bash) on your client ( the one running the program in X11 terms )
3) find the address or name of your server and check if it is reachable on the network (e.g. the server is named "bobo" - test it with "ping bobo")
4) type "DISPLAY=bobo:0.0" and then "export DISPLAY" to tell your client where to open the window
5) start "xterm" to verify the setup

I tried to run the command xhost via telnet but it gives me the same error. I tried to run the command directly on the computer and it gives "unable to display "" " but the xserver wasn't running when I did this.

In fact the server is a robot without screen and mouse. I can plug a screen but no mouse on the robot's PC (server). That's why I would like to run program from other computer. Is it a problem? Do I have to run xhost on the computer server with xserver running?

I can run xserver on the robot but it is not usefull. Do I have to run the xserver to do all this? I tried with running and not running but it's the same error.

no xserver needed to run client programs

i suspect you didn not set/export the DISPLAY variable correctly

Maybe I didn't set/export the DISPLAY variable correctly.

But when I run "$DISPLAY" on the client side, it gives XAVIER:0.0 . XAVIER is the name for the computer server.

>But when I run "$DISPLAY" on
how do you "run" $DISPLAY ?????
did you export it ?

I did export it before

I run $DISPLAY to to know what is in the variable.

i hve a simialar problem with when i run XF86Setup i configure all hardware on my componce thts done i ask it to strt the x server and it keeps sayin _X11TransSocketINETConnect: Can't connect: errno = 111 over again until it says giving up plz help

hope i understood your configuration
xavier - the X server (the machine with the GUI)
robot1 - the X client (the machine running xterm)

check your /etc/hosts file on both machines
e.g.
10.0.0.1 xavier
10.0.0.2 robot1



try this :

on xavier:
1) RUN: ping robot1
if robot1 responds correctly
2) open a local xterm
3) RUN: xhost +robot1
to allow host robot1 to access the display on xavier

then:

on robot1:
1) RUN: ping xavier
if xavier responds correctly
2) RUN: xterm -display "xavier:0.0"
