CDE Login works but hangs on the Welcome Screen
CDE Login works but hangs on the Welcome Screen
I wonder if anyone has had this problem before
Basically I have two systems one an itanium running 11iv3 (which I had to install the CDE environment)and a PA-RISC based system running 11iv1
Both of which I can get the login screen up using reflections x but when I login all I get is the Copyright screen etc and it just sits there.
I have removed all my .dt files just to make sure I didn't have any original corrupt files to no avail
Regards

Re: CDE Login works but hangs on the Welcome Screen
All the .dt files need to be there and be owned by the user logging down.
See that the font server is running, /sbin/init.d/xfs start
Review /etc/rc.config.d/xfs and make sure the font server is set to run.

Re: CDE Login works but hangs on the Welcome Screen
Enable CDE
/usr/dt/bin/dtconfig -e
Ensure the initdefault level in /etc/inittab is 3
If the system is not currently at runlevel 3, execute
init 3
start CDE
/sbin/init.d/dtlogin.rc start
If you intend to use HP-UX Xserver, update the following HP-UX 11.31 OS Patch as well:

Re: CDE Login works but hangs on the Welcome Screen
I have even installed the product on two other systems and these worked fine first time around so it makes me think that there is some sort of corruption on the two systems
I even restored my existing .dt and .dtprofile from a system I know to work and this makes no difference

Re: CDE Login works but hangs on the Welcome Screen
This install put the setting in so I'm not too sure why it's reporting faults
I can change some but I think this is defeating the object - I will run it against the other Itanium 11iv3 which works and compare

Re: CDE Login works but hangs on the Welcome Screen
"when I login all I get is the Copyright screen etc and it just sits there. "
So you are able to login.
Hence you are getting the GUI here
So the issue is with GUI login
Have you tried to login by creating a new user ?
Check the startlog file which reside in the home directory of the user
This will provide you the hints on wat is happening after you login via GUI
Also check if you are able to login via root
Also check if you have nsswitch.conf file
Also it this an NIS setup ?? Why am I asking is that if it hangs on Copyrights, I believe it unable to find the profile file or the variables which needs to be defined
Also check that there is sufficient permission for /tmp directory
# ll -d /tmp

Re: CDE Login works but hangs on the Welcome Screen
As previuosley noted, does it work if you try to login as root? If yes, very likely fixing the 4 SUID-root files will solve the problem.
All other warnings can be ignored. By the way do not attempt to change the permission of any of the symbolic links in the warnings. You will mess up the permissions of the symbolic link targets and not the symbolic links themselves.

Re: CDE Login works but hangs on the Welcome Screen
Re: CDE Login works but hangs on the Welcome Screen
Ok after a long and hard look at the other systems that are working I have found the problem
RPCBIND. I had disabled all of the nfs scripts in the system startup including nfs.core so will now have to add it in again.
I don't suppose someone could explain as we don't use nfs at all here and I am a bit loathed to start re-adding processes we don't use
Thanks for everyone who helped

Re: CDE Login works but hangs on the Welcome Screen
----
NOTE: CDE utilizes ToolTalk services, which are RPC-based. Therefore, if the RPC services are not functioning, CDE will not work as expected. A frequent occurrence is where the NFS and NIS rc startup scripts are disabled in /etc/rc.config.d which normally would start portmap/rpcbind, and therefore some other method must of starting the daemon must be implemented.
Even if the process rpcbind is running, it may need to be restarted to get back to a normal state.
