Troubleshooting the X Server

The Troubleshooting page of the Exceed onDemand Xconfig dialog box provides several methods for troubleshooting problems associated with the X server.

Client Log File

The client log file records Exceed onDemand Client connection information. To generate a client log file, logging must be enabled. Click Enable Logging on the Settings menu in the Exceed onDemand Client dialog box. Once you have connected to a host, you can view the client log by pointing to File, View Log, and then clicking Client Log on the Exceed onDemand Desktop menu.

Proxy Log Files

Select the Xconfig file in which you want to configure the proxy log settings and open the Exceed onDemand Xconfig dialog box. The Troubleshooting page lets you configure the type of information you want the Exceed onDemand X server to log. Specified information, such as transport errors and the names of requested fonts that were not found, is recorded in a proxy log file (ewebhost.log). This file is located on the Exceed onDemand Server. For information on generating a log file, see Generating Proxy Log Files.

You can view the proxy log file using the Exceed onDemand Desktop menu.

Trace Files

Select the Xconfig file in which you want to configure trace settings and open the Exceed onDemand Xconfig dialog box. The Troubleshooting page lets you configure trace options. You can trace the events, requests, and dialogs that occur between the X server and the X application. For more information on tracing X server actions, see Tracing X Server Actions and Accessing Log or Trace Files.
