CDE display problem.

[walter crasto_1]

Hi,

On my HP-UX 11i server I am not able to run CDE desktop, it gives me error & requesting to check /etc/hosts file & dt messaging installation.
My /etc/hosts file entry is OK. How can I check CDE messaging is installed properly.

Thanks & Regards

Check for duplicate IP Addresses and hostnames in /etc/hosts and keep it minimum;reboot the node. This procedure fixed most of my problems.

Hi Walter,

what is the entry in /etc/hosts?
I think

127.0.0.1 localhost loopback

If so then add a line for your system, something like the following:

127.0.0.1 localhost loopback
10.100.10.100 pippo.pluto.com pippo

Otherwise if just line for your system is into /etc/hosts then add that for loopback in order to /etc/hosts sees as above.

HTH.

Best regards,
Ettore

what is the exact error?

The best would to make sure that your hostname resolution & reverse resolution works fine

#nslookup

#nslookup

If this is okay and still facing problems the best would be to run the tool

/usr/contrib/bin/X11/dr_dt
and then check /var/adm/Xerrors.

revert on the same

Hi Walter

is the file /etc/nsswitch.conf readable for your users.

A you using DNS. Change in nsswitch.conf to "files / Nis /DNS ".

I have had the same Problems with the CDE Messaging System, mostly it was the nsswitch configuration
