Shalom,

Normal causes of this problem:
1) Incorrect permissions on the config files. See the .dt directories, if you are using CDE.
2) Network issues blocking the connection. XDMP broadcast will not work on a network segmented with VLANS.

1. Are these envizex's or envizexII's ? what version of enware are you using.
2. Next since the xterminal has booted we can assume networking may be OK ..it needed to contact the server to get it's directives files etc. Have you checked on the server you are attempting to connect to has a window manager/XDMCP running ?

for CDE check if dtlogin is running
for vue " " vuelogin " " ?

If they're not that's your problem : either configure the xterminal to broadcast and pick an alternate host running XDMCP or start the window manager on the server fyi to start CDE manually try /usr/init.d/dtlogin start.


Also try a remsh get log or interupt the xterminal boot process and go into the diagnostics section of the config gui and look at the logs there ? you may be able to use the F12 key whilst at the busy cursor stage ....

If CDE this sounds like it could be font problems ..... it maybe worth checking the font path of the xterminal : remsh get config | grep -i font ?

If log and /var/dt/Xerrors have font errors try this :

1 - The font server needs to be configured to include the CDE
fonts in its catalog

EDIT: /etc/X11/fs/config

Append ",/usr/dt/config/xfonts/C" to the end of the
"catalogue = ..." line

EDIT: /etc/rc.config.d/xfs

Set the following variable: "RUN_X_FONT_SERVER=1"

EXECUTE: /sbin/init.d/xfs start

If the font-server is already running, kill it and
restart it.

2 - Force CDE to add the font-server to the X-Server font-path
by editing the Xsetup file. (NOTE: This steps REQUIRES
the IP address of the CDE session server. You can get
this information by running: nslookup `hostname`.)

COPY: /usr/dt/config/Xsetup to /etc/dt/config/Xsetup
EDIT: /etc/dt/config/Xsetup

Add the following line to /etc/dt/config/Xsetup replacing
"IPADDRESS" with the IP address of the server as returned
from "nslookup `hostname`":

$XDIR/xset fp+ tcp/IPADDRESS:7000 1>/dev/null

Add the tcp/IPADDRESS:7000 to the xterminals font path (head) and then reboot the xterminal
