CDE doesn't start

[Christopher McCray]

I have a new L class 2000 server that I have don the initial configuration for. I have a GUI moitor attached to it as well as a console terminal. The GUI monitor worked prior to reboot, but now when I log in, I get the blue screen, but goes no further. Any ideas??

Things you might check.

1. /etc/dt/Xservers
Make sure "* local local@conso......." is not commented.
2. /etc/hosts
Make sure you have an entry for your hostname.
Run nslookup on your hostname and ipaddress
If either fail, this could be the prob.
3. Make sure you have the latest CDE Patchset.

Well if you see the blue screen X is starting ! as is CDE ?

Sounds as if it could be a permissions or corrupt user session ? : is root affected , all users ?

Can U log into a failsafe session ? Check output from dr_dt , $HOME/.dt/startlog NB add set -x into .dtprofile first & then attempt a login and then check the file ?

Rm -r $HOME/.dt then try login ?

create a new user ? problem persists ?
