syslog.log

Hi,

My B132L Workstation HP-UX 10.20 boot without error message in /etc/rc.log but I have this message on the screen:

The X server can not be started on display regulus:0...

I check in syslog.log and I found this error message:

Apr 5 08:36:32 regulus vmunix: System Console is on the ITE
Apr 5 08:36:32 regulus vmunix: Networking memory for fragment reassembly is restricted to 10526720 bytes
Apr 5 08:36:32 regulus vmunix: Swap device table: (start & size given in 512-byte blocks)
Apr 5 08:36:32 regulus vmunix: entry 0 - auto-configured on root device; SCSI: dev = 0x1f006000, O_SYNC I/O cannot be forced to media with this disk!

Apr 5 08:36:32 regulus vmunix: See scsi_disk(7) and scsictl(1m) manpages.

Help me please.

Frank.

Hi

If you are running cde try
/usr/contrib/bin/X11/dr_dt
correct any faults

look in /var/dt/Xerrors for faults
or /var/vue/Xerrors

Check that mouse is attached.
Also keyboard
tail /etc/rc.log for other faults.

o_sync i/o cannot be forced to media with this disk.
Immediate reporting will be performed;
FUA bit cleared from cdv.

THIS COMES FROM OLD DISK FIRMWARE WHICH SHOULD BE UPDATED

Hi Steve,

I found this error in /var/dt/Xerror.log:

Fri Apr 5 09:02:48 2002

Unable to open the Graphics Resource Manager.

Could be a hostname to IP resolution issue.

Confirm your system can resolve "regulus" to an IP address.

Thanks for all,

I resolve my problem with:

rm /dev/crt*
reboot -r

Found this from Technical DB .. hope it helps.

The problem is caused by the fact that the X server can't connect with the Graphics Resource Manager daemon process which
manages offscreen memory, fonts and miscellaneous graphics resources for Starbase and X programs. The GMR daemon process must be able to start up for X and Starbase to run correctly.

The permissions on the grmd program itself and the directories which it writes into must be correct. The following is a list of the correct permissions on the relevant files:

ll /usr/lib/grmd
-r-sr-sr-x 1 daemon sys 40972 Feb 17 11:00 /usr/lib/grmd
ll -d /usr/spool/sockets
drwxrwxr-x 4 root sys 1024 Apr 13 00:55 /usr/spool/sockets
ll /usr/spool/sockets
drwxrwxr-x 2 bin sys 1024 Jul 6 09:26 X11

Hi,
I have the same problem but unfortunately I still can not get my GRM started. i have changed the permissions to reflect the ones here, I can do a nslookup on both the hostname and the ip address.
I did find an error message abit different now in /var/dt/Xerrors which states:
error (pid 1988): Server for display wiluna:0 can't be started.
Please, any suggestions would be great....

Niel,

Check your settings in the /etc/X11/X0screens if it reflects your config.
The file explains itself in comments.
