Troubleshooting Exceed and Ssh problems:
Here are some common errors and their causes.
Problem:
Possible Causes:
Solutions:
You type the UNIX command (such as "xterm") and you get an error similar to
X connection to 128.32.138.27:11.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).
An
XWindows server
(Exceed, XDarwin, etc) is not running on your local computer.
The .Xauthority file in the user's UNIX directory is old.
The UNIX account is over its
disk quota
; this prevents the .Xauthority file from being written.
Your firewall is blocking it.
Start an
XWindows server
on your desktop computer.
Delete .Xauthority file in your UNIX acocunt; login again to UNIX account.
Reduce UNIX disk usage
and
login to the UNIX account
again.
Turn off the firewall and try again. If that fixes it, then turn the firewall back on and enable the Hummingbird Exceed program. (For the Symantec filewall, turn off "auto protect" and tell it to alert you when it blocks something, so you'll get a chance to "allow" the XWindows connections.)
You type the UNIX command (such as "
xterm
") and you get an error similar to
Error: Can't open display:
OR
