Cannot log into CDE.
CDE then chucks me back to the login screen.
Looking in the $home/.dt/errorlog file there is a comment about ttsession:
"dtsession: The ToolTalk session server (ttsession) could not be started. This
indicates that either ToolTalk is not installed or that it is not
installed correctly on this machine. Please see your System
Administrator."
I have tried everything suggested in the knowledge base document
KBRC00004164 which hasn't helped.
I have ran Dr_dt which showed 0 errors and 0 warnings.
I have looked at knowledge base document KBRC00004688 but this too does not give me an answer.
The only thing I could see that could be wrong is that in the syslog file there is a machine mentioned which is not the machine I am trying to logon to. It says:
Jun 6 14:44:00 MACHINE1 syslog: libtt[13785]: libtt: system("ttsession -s -d MACHINE2
:0"): signal 4
Where machine1 = the current workstation
and macine 2 = some other machine on our network.
Anybody got any other ideas as to what is happening that hasn't been covered in the knowledge base articles.
Cheers,
David.

Re: Cannot log into CDE.
1)vi /etc/inetd.conf
2)Find
rpc stream tcp swait root /usr/dt/bin/rpc.ttdbserver 100083 1 /usr/dt/bin/rpc.tt
dbserver
3)Comment it out.
4)inetd -c
5)Find the $PPID of /usr/dt/bin/rpc.ttdbserver and kill -9 $PPID
6)mv /TT_DB/ to other name on root and any local directories where it exists.
ll /TT_DB /*/TT_DB and remove all directories found which are local.
7)vi /etc/inetd.conf
8)Find
rpc stream tcp swait root /usr/dt/bin/rpc.ttdbserver 100083 1 /usr/dt/bin/rpc.ttdbserver
9)Remove the comment and reopen the line.
10)inetd -c
The first rpc request will rebuild the database.

Re: Cannot log into CDE.
2) I'd be tempted to run set_parms initial again
3) how did you rebuild ?
4) Can you get to CDEKBRC00003554 ?

Re: Cannot log into CDE.

Re: Cannot log into CDE.
Hi
A small Input here. Please check ur /etc/hosts entries once again. It should have own IP address with hostname and loop back address.
Best of luck

Re: Cannot log into CDE.
Looking at /var/dt/Xerrors this is mentioned:
/usr/bin/X11/xset: bad font path element (#40), possible causes are:
Directory does not exist or has wrong permissions
Directory missing fonts.dir
Incorrect font server address or syntax
Warning: Missing charsets in String to FontSet conversion
Warning: Cannot convert string "-dt-interface user-medium-r-normal-l*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*" to typ
e FontSet
Is it just a permissions problem? Which file do I need to check?
Many thanks.

Re: Cannot log into CDE.
he simple solution to this problem involves configuring and
running a font-server on the system which is running CDE and
forcing the font server into the X-Server (X-Terminal) font-path.
To do this a few things are required:
1 - The font server needs to be configured to include the CDE
fonts in its catalog
EDIT: /etc/X11/fs/config
Append ",/usr/dt/config/xfonts/C" to the end of the
"catalogue = ..." line
EDIT: /etc/rc.config.d/xfs
Set the following variable: "RUN_X_FONT_SERVER=1"
EXECUTE: /sbin/init.d/xfs start
If the font-server is already running, kill it and
restart it.
2 - Force CDE to add the font-server to the X-Server font-path
by editing the Xsetup file. (NOTE: This steps REQUIRES
the IP address of the CDE session server. You can get
this information by running: nslookup `hostname`.)
COPY: /usr/dt/config/Xsetup to /etc/dt/config/Xsetup
EDIT: /etc/dt/config/Xsetup
Add the following line to /etc/dt/config/Xsetup replacing
"IPADDRESS" with the IP address of the server as returned
from "nslookup `hostname`":
$XDIR/xset fp+ tcp/IPADDRESS:7000 1>/dev/null

Re: Cannot log into CDE.
Should work
Did you exit CDE after xfs set

Re: Cannot log into CDE.
Is that the exact text of the message about the messaging system ("Desktop messaging system failed to initialise or start")? There are a lot of threads in the forum about "desktop messaging system could not be started", most of which seem to focus on name resolution. Could this be your issue?

Seems ok.
The build was from our ignite server and so running set parms again I doubt will help as all hostnames were specified at the time of build.
Just looking at the KB article.
Thanks

Re: Cannot log into CDE.
Does
/usr/contrib/bin/X11/dr_dt give any problems.
When you reset the rpc.ttdbsession are you sure you got all of the TT_DB directories.
Try this
Check permissions and ownership of the following files:
-r--r--r-- 1 bin bin 616 Jul 1 16:03 /etc/hosts
-r--r--r-- 1 root sys 1010 Jun 25 18:22 /var/adm/inetd.sec
Check the contents of /var/adm/inetd.sec. It should contain:
dtspc allow [hostnames or '*'. No aliases]
spc allow [hostnames or '*'. No aliases]
mserve allow [hostnames or '*'. No aliases]
If not add these lines to this file and reread the file:
/usr/sbin/inetd -c
If you still cannot login try mv $HOME/.dt to $HOME/.dt.old
login again
