CDE problem

minmoo — Tue, 16 Apr 2002 00:53:45 GMT

hello,
N-class, 11.00
cde login screen does not appear.
I checked as following
1)Run /usr/contrib/bin/X11/dr_dt.
2)Check the error log /var/dt/Xerrors
$HOME/.dt/errorlog, $HOME/.dt/startlog
3)nslookup " and "nslookup
4)Check permissions and ownership
5)Check the contents of /var/adm/inetd.sec.
6)usr/sbin/ping
7)mv $HOME/.dt $HOME/.dt.orig
mv $HOME/.dtprofile $HOME/.dtprofile.orig
8)installed the cde run time patches
9)dtlogin daemon -> ok
10) rpcinfo -p -> ok

I can't find the cause.
How can this problem be resolved?

Hi,

Check that:

1) You are at least in run-level 3 or higher:

# who -r
. run-level 3 Apr 10 06:06 3 0 S

2) Your startup script is enabled with a capital S and linked to /sbin/init.d/dtlogin.rc:

# ll /sbin/rc3.d/S990dtlogin.rc
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root root 23 Apr 9 07:07 /sbin/rc3.d/S990dtlogin.rc -> /sbin/init.d/dtlogin.rc

3) Check that CDE is specified in your desktop configuration file:

# cat /etc/rc.config.d/desktop
DESKTOP=CDE

Hope this helps. Regards.

Also check to make sure the line ..

* Local local@console /usr/bin/X11/X :0

is not commented in /etc/dt/config/Xservers.

Hello,
Try
stopping all the dtlogin daemons.
Now run
/usr/dt/bin/dtconfig -e (enable auto start)
Logout and wait for the autostart.

Thanks

Seems to me everything looks initially OK .... does the N-class have a graphics card ?

can you check using ioscan -fnC graphics

Or is this a problem wrt remote displays if so can you give us some details on s/w and h/w involved.

Hi,

is there any kind of firewall between that server and your X-windows station?
XDMCP (the login protocol) is using UDP, which is usually NOT permitted through firewalls...

Just my $0.02,
