[minmoo]

hi
cde dosn't work correctly. system shows following message.
1. error bining socket address 177, errno = 2
2. cannot establish any listening sockets - Make sure an X server isn't already running.
3. Server unexpectedly died.
4. Server for display hostname:0 canlt be started.

I don't know what this happened.

Hi,

Make sure your system is able to resolve the system name and ip address correctly.

do a "nslookup" and try this,

nslookup
> Server_name
> Server_ip
> exit

If the same is a problem, first resolve the name resolution and then try the CDE thing.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

If it still doesn't work, try this diagnostics tool:

# /usr/contrib/bin/X11/dr_dt

Hope this helps. Regards.

Something is using the Xserver port : 177 !

Try ps -ef | grep X, mwm, dt, xdm, gdm & vue to see if another Xserver or window manager has started already ?

What run level are you at ? If above 3, drop to 2 then go to 3 ?

Check how many dtlogins you have running : 1 parent + 1 child per display/remote session ?

Also could be permissions on /var/spool/sockets and also worth checking is /tmp ... you get some odd errors sometimes.
