Hi there I've been trying to open and run a monitor in grass using d.mon
I get the error message as below when I try to do this
x0
Graph_Set: can't open
...
so what do I need to set my DISPLAY to ?
It's a DEC Alpha , called polarbear .
I'm running it remotely from another machine (DECSTATION)
...Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Jeremy
Hello Jeremy,
You have two things to do :
. Set your display as the DECSTATION name oe IP number
(witch is really your display, It would be the X-terminal if you
work on a X-terminal ...)
setenv DISPLAY <IPnbr>:0.0 or setenv DISPLAY <name>:0.0
. On the DECSTATION (a Decterm open'd directly from your session
manager for example) authorize your alpha to display on the
DECSTATION (I think on ULTRIX a thing like "xhost + <host>"),
Just "xhost +" enables any host to display on your screen.
(on VMS machines you do this over the "option" "security" menu
from the session manager)
. To see if it's Ok, you can run for example the "xclock" of
your Alpha or any other Xtool
Hope it help you,
