CDE

Aidan — Wed, 25 Apr 2001 09:38:10 GMT

I have got a similar problem to some of the other users who could not log into the CDE.

After reading the answers I feel that my problem is in some way network related. I have check all of the settings to the best of my knowledge but to no avail. Can anybody help?

I am fairly inexperience with HP-Ux so please be gentle.

depends on what you've tried, what the symptoms are and what changed recently ( with or without your knowledge) .... feel free to fill in the blanks and we'll see .....

I have been reading a few more of the articles
and upon looking at the startlog I noticed an entry regarding stty and some keys. See attached log.

What I found strange regarding the networking side was that on occasion by remving the network cable from the back the CDE would start.

As far as I am aware all of the DNS, default gateway etc... are configured correctly as when logged in on a failsafe session I can telnet to other machines etc fine.

Any ideas?

I'd still suspect networking or :

edit / check etc/resolv.conf /etc/nsswitch.conf & /etc/rc.config.d/netconf

Does the problem go away if you use files in conjunction with /etc/nsswitch.conf entry or use files first then DNS ?

dr_dt may prove useful : check the permissions on the above dirs - files too !

Do you see a CDE login panel ? Dtgreet ?

not sourcing //.profile (see //.dtprofile)
Warning: Cannot convert string ":Alt CtrlInsert" to type VirtualBinding
/sbin/sh: 1668 Abort(coredump)

the core file should give a little more detail,
but seems you've got some problem with the .profile put a set -x into the first line of the script to get more detail.

then . ~/.profile
and look for errors.

Later,

Problem Solved. It was a DNS issue. Cheers for your efforts!
