monitor display gone

lastgreatone — Tue, 12 Feb 2002 13:37:47 GMT

hp A4490A. Checked the obvious but still no display. I had disabled rpc.ttdbserv and dtlogin since all administration is mostly remote. I had seen a line command prompt but now there is not display at all. Any clues why? I started up dtlogin, I still do not have a display? How do I check if the graphics card is broke? The ioscan shows a claimed state.

telnet from the remote pc / node and edit the file "/etc/inetd.conf" where you disabled the rpc.ttdbserv service and enable it. Then you should get the display.

1. run /sbin/init 2 followed by /sbin/init 3

2. Check dtlogin is running ? If not->

3. check both /usr/dt/config/Xservers and /etc/dt/config/Xservers ,look at the last line it's telling the Xserver to start locally . If the line is preceeded by a comment ---> # Local local@console .....

remove the # and then run /sbin/init 2 followed by /sbin/init 3.

Still not working :

4.run /sbin/init 2
5./usr/bin/X11/X :0 .... result ? Also check in /var/dt/Xerrors .....

post errors and results ?

ps dr_dt may be worth running too

Hello,

the local graphics login (CDE) is determined by the file "/*/dt/config/Xservers", where "*" is "etc" or "usr".
In there should be a line like this:
* Local local@console /usr/bin/X11/X :0

if that line is commented out, you will not get a CDE-login...
If you have to modify that file, do not forget to send a signal "HUP" to the "dtlogin" process with the lowest process id.

HTH,
Wodisch

It could be because of the wrong IP in the export DISPLAY command in the profile. Just a guess !!!

This is in /var/dt/Xerrors:
Warning: Cannot convert string ":Alt Ctrl Insert" to type VirtualBinding. Not sure if this is related to the problem of no display. Any ideas?

The Xerrors contents is not relevannt in my opinion .... how about my other suggestions ?

It would be interesting to see if this is an Xserver or a CDE Problem hence points 4 & 5 ?

Also post or take a look at the output from dr_dt .... CDE diagnostic tool.

As to entries in .profiles .... since a user hasn't logged in via CDE or via the hpux command line I suspect not.

As to the rpc.ttdbserver ... check dtlogin is running first ?
