343.0. "Can't Open display" by NZOV01::MATHESON (Robin killed by The Joker? Holy terminations, Batman!) Tue Mar 07 1989 16:57

    Having just searched this conference for the string "open display" and
    read all the notes pertaining to this search string, I still can not
    find why I can not open a window on my workstation (BATMAN) from a
    remote system.  Both VMS V5.1 , TEEPEE is boot node VS2000 for BATMAN.
    
    1  $ set host teepee
    2  $ define /job decw$display wsa2:
    3  $ sh disp (node and transport correct)
    4  $ mc decw$puzzle
    
    X Toolkit Error: Can't Open display
    %DWT-F-DWTABORT, xtoolkit fatal error
    
    * The security on my workstation is TEEPEE::KEN and *::*
    * There is a proxy set up for my username between both TEEPEE and
      BATMAN
    * Global pages on BATMAN are just over half used
    * On BATMAN if I set disp /create /node=teepee and then mc decw$puzzle,
      the error is more informative
    
    Client is not authorized to access server
    X Toolkit Error: Can't Open display
    %DWT-F-DWTABORT, xtoolkit fatal error
    
    From this, I draw the conclusion that the fatal error going from
    TEEPEE to BATMAN does not have anything to do with security.  Can
    anybody shed some light on this?
    
    cheers,  Ken.

343.2	not security, X$X0 undeclared	NZOV01::MATHESON	Robin killed by The Joker? Holy terminations, Batman!	`Mon Mar 13 1989 17:10`	10
	thankQ :-) The X$X0 network object wasn't declared on BATMAN. How that happened, I can only guess. A quick @SYS$MANAGER:DECW$STARTUP RESTART fixed the problem. So it aint only security that gives this message. cheers, Ken. (branch DECwindows resource?)
343.3	I receive the same error, HELP!!!	MISING::SFAFRAK	Let me out of this file cabinet!	`Thu Apr 06 1989 10:50`	16
	I am receiving this same message when trying to open an application like clock on FileView. Once I try to open the fourth application (ie. Calendar, Clock, CardFiler, Calculator, etc.) I receive that error. I then tried exiting out of a DECterm session thinking resources were the problem, but again, same error. I finally gave up and tried to CREATE a new terminal session and the Session Manager crashed. I checked the log and received an ACCVIO. Help!!! Any answers would be appreciated. Scott BTW, my workstation is a VS2000 with 14mb booting into an LAVc.
