8. The RGS Sender will not accept remote connections when a DNS name inquiry does not

resolve to a valid/active IP address—the Sender expects to fully resolve the machine name to an

active network connection IP. To test this, the command hostname -i should report an active IP

address for the qualified hostname. Failure to resolve this address from a qualified hostname may

result in remote connection errors. One way to address the hostname/IP name resolution is to edit

the /etc/hosts file, and bind the machine name to its proper IP address as follows:

127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain

88.1.89.122 blade2 blade2.datacenter.com

If the Sender is being installed on the HP ProLiant xw460c Blade Workstation, the blade

workstation needs to be rebooted into User Mode after Sender installation is complete. For

information on selecting User Mode, refer to the document Administrator’s Guide for Linux on HP

ProLiant Blade Workstations, available at

http://www.hp.com/support/xw460c_manuals.

3.2.4.1 Starting the Sender on Linux

The Linux Sender is started by the “rge” X server extension whose configuration is described in the

previous section. The Sender cannot be started manually. Proper configuration and startup of the

Sender can be verified by examining the X server log file (Xorg.0.log). The log file will show that the

extension is loaded, and that the extension has started the Sender:

Log file content should be like:

(II) LoadModule: "rge"

(II) Loading /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions/librge.so

(RG) 10:29:52.654 HP Remote Graphics extension. Build date : Jul 15 2009

(RG) 10:29:53.002 Listening for RG connections at /var/opt/hpremote/rgsender/sockets/rgsender-

rge:0

(RG) 10:29:53.631 Started rgsender process PID = 5780

END of log file example.

The rgsender.sh command has two options that can be executed from the command line. The

rgsender.sh command does not start the Sender if either of these options are used.

The functionality of each option is as follows:

[-v | -ver | -version] —Displays the Sender version information.

[-h | -help | -?] —Displays the rgsender.sh command line options that are listed on this page.
