CDE not loading

mark lenderman — Fri, 13 Apr 2001 16:19:11 GMT

This is a follow-up to an earlier question with some more information. I am not loading CDE and am only allowed to login as root in "Safemode". I modified something within the .dtprofile script and don't know what could be wrong with it. I am assuming this is the problem. I may need a workable copy of it sent to me to compare against. Also, my DTSOURCEPROFILE=true is set ok. Many thanx!

CDE will not load if there is an error in .dtprofile or .profile. You can do a quick error check by sourcing those files from the command line:

. ~/.dtprofile
. ~/.profile

If there is a syntax error it will be echoed to the screen along with the line number.

This should be a good place to start.

Hi,

I haven't read your previous questions, and therefore some remarks relating to what I've found in the last one.

As concerns not starting CDE there could be many different reasons, often relating to the proper network configuration.
For example problems with resolving can be a reason of not starting CDE.

As concerns .dtprofile and .profile files, do not think you could change them in such a way to stop starting CDE.

But if you need them you'll find them (just default forms:
in:

/usr/dt/config/sys.dtprofile
/usr/newconfig/.profile

Edit .dtprofile,.profile and add in line 1 set -x for debug after in command line
#./.dtprofile
#./.profile

Good luck
