Cannot open connection to window server
I have a newbie question and I'm new to the list so excuse if this question has been posted before. I installed SuSE 9.2 on a HP Pavilion AMD64 laptop. I'm using this at work where I need to log into other (solaris) machines and run X applications (such as emacs and other inhouse apps). On one particular machine I can run these apps but on most other machines I get the following error message: XView warning: Cannot load font set '-b&h-lucida-medium-r-normal-sans-*-120-*-*-*-*-*-*' (Font package) XView warning: Unable to open default font set XView error: Cannot open connection to window server: 145.166.24.187:0 (Server package) The steps I take are: %xhost remote_machine %ssh -X -l user remote_machine %setenv DISPLAY myip:0 I had to remove the "-nolisten tcp" argument from the startx script. Anyway, am I missing a particular font set? If yes, where can I get the required font set? If no, what am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance, Mark

%xhost remote_machine %ssh -X -l user remote_machine %setenv DISPLAY myip:0
What is the value of myip? Is it really 145.166.24.187? What should work in any case is: 1) xhost + 2) ssh remote_machine 3) export DISPLAY=my_desktop_ip:0 xterm ... Greetings Alexander
