HP-UX hmlsrv08 B.11.23 U ia64 4246253199 unlimited-user license
i have a little background on linux but this thing is different.
for now, i have 2 questions:
1- install packages seems strange. I use swinstall -s /path/to/some/file.depot but it isn't enough; i have to use CDE's visual thing and select an option called "Options>Change Options>All targets to resolve the source locally" and then it installs the depots. Is there any whay to do the same just using command line?
2- acc compiler comes bundled with those dvd's or do i need to download it from somewhere?
3- i miss bash a lot. is there any way to install it on that box?
4- i want to use CDE occasionally. i am able to do a "X -query 192.168.0.8" from any linux machine and work on it, but for some reason dtterm isn't reading .profile by default. where can i set my PS1 and other variables to be used for dtterm?
5- how can i add icons on that bar? i've tried to drag executables but it starts to ask me for parameters. I would like to learn "the correct way".
6- is there some good native code editor? i have some C/Java to handle and for now i'm using gnome+virtual file system and ssh sessions to compile code.
any answer will be welcome, i thank for the attention.
Solved! Go to Solution.

SolutionJust add the names of the products you want to install or use \* for everything, to the end of the command.
2) If you purchased a license, you can unlock the version on the application DVD.
3) You can download it from the porting center. Do NOT change root's shell!

6) Other than vi? :-) There's vim and eclipse.

Re: yet another HP-UX newbie
Normal (but undesirable) behavior for all the terminal emulators (dtterm, hpterm, xterm). In your $HOME directory, add the following line to .Xdefaults:
echo "*loginShell: true" >> $HOME/.Xdefaults
This tells the shell to behave normally during a login.

HPUX supports bash
after login, type bash
or change your settings in /etc/passwd

Re: yet another HP-UX newbie
Make sure your HP-UX can resolve its own hostname/IP address.
- check that the server's own IP address is correctly specified in /etc/hosts
- run "nslookup hmlsrv08" (or whatever is the hostname of your server). The response should include the correct IP address and hostname of your server.
- run "nslookup
Then restart swagentd, the daemon part of swinstall and other sw* tools:
sh /sbin/init.d/swagentd stop
sh /sbin/init.d/swagentd start

In addition to Matti's caveat, if you want to avoid an interactive installation you need to tell 'swinstall' the name of the bundle or product or patch to install, or specify the entire depot's contents. For example:
# swinstall -s /path/to/some/file.depot IGNITE
# swinstall -s /path/to/some/file.depot \*
In the second example, you must escape the '*' to prevent the shell from expanding it.
