i havs started xfs by

and xfs serveice is running.

how to enable cde

[Manix]

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

Run these commands & post errors in
"/var/dt/Xerrors" for clues.

try a read of the following, its pretty comprehensive in that it covers most things that could go wrong ;-)

That sounds good.

I know nothing, but if you have no
"/usr/dt/bin" directory, then I'd guess that
someone has deleted it. Around here, for
example:

dyi # ls -l /usr/dt

dr-xr-xr-x 35 bin bin 8192 Jan 23 2008 app-defaults
dr-xr-xr-x 7 bin bin 96 Jan 23 2008 appconfig

dr-xr-xr-x 37 bin bin 8192 Jan 23 2008 config

dr-xr-xr-x 7 bin bin 8192 Jan 24 2008 share


My similar system has more installed CDE
stuff than yours, but I'd expect the plain
CDE kit to include "/usr/dt/bin" and
"/usr/dt/bin/dtconfig":

dyi # swlist -l product | grep -i cde
CDE B.11.31 HP-UX CDE User Interface
CDEDevKit B.11.31.01 CDE Desktop Developer's ToolKit

dyi # ls -l /usr/dt/bin/dtconfig
-r-xr-xr-x 1 bin bin 5018 Jan 12 2007 /usr/dt/bin/dtconfig


You might try re-installing the CDE kit.

2.do installation will affect the current os,after installation will be there be any data loss in server,since they are in production.
