Re: Gnome for HPUX released

Don't worry Alex this is an FYI post, not a post asking for help.

I have installed GNOME on 2 HP-UX 11.11 machines. The site recommends 11.0, but I gave it a shot and it runs on 11.11 (11i) as well.

So far I am pretty impressed. There are some things that don't work, but they say that on the web site too.

The only problem I've found so far that I find somewhat troubling is that Gnome currently does NOT work when the system is Trusted.

I installed it on a trusted system but could not log in. I untrusted the system and everything worked fine then.

Just thought some of you might like to know.

Re: Gnome for HPUX released

I've installed it on my B2000 and it certains appears to be quicker then CDE. perhaps that's down to the window manager.

Problems:- Doesn't appear to handle my UK keyboard very well.
Using xmodmap I can persuade xterm windows to handle the 'pipe' symbol, but it always comes out as a 'broken bar' when using Gnome Terminal.

Re: Gnome for HPUX released

Neil,

I have installed Gnome and also have been having trouble with my pipe key. I have a UK keyboard and have been using shift and the backslash key instead of the pipe key, but as you say it gives a broken pipe in the Gnome xterm window. When I use this pipe though it still doesn't work. Do you have anymore suggestions?

Thanks,

David.
