CDE in HP-UX

[Ivan-Maximov]

I have a problem with starting CDE.

I have a Itanium based superdome with preloaded systems (Windows Server 2003 and HP-UX). Each system is on different nPars.
When I login on to nPar with HP-UX system, I got a message: The desktop messaging system could not be started. (see attachment)

How I can correct this problem?

Shalom,

Based on the fact that you seem to have a CDE gui, I'd check permissions of the folders in the user home directory.

vi /etc/rc.config.d/xfs

Make sure the font server is actually running at start time.

/sbin/init.d/xfs stop
/sbin/init.d/xfs start

Check /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log

Thanks Stiven, but my problem didn`t vanish.
Here is my Syslog, It is after I make an attempt to login (tat100rm2.tattelecom.ttc is the hostname of nPar0 in domain :

Feb 21 08:32:09 nPar0 /usr/dt/bin/ttsession[29656]: gethostbyaddr: tat100rm2.tattelecom
.ttc. != 192.168.100.201
Feb 21 08:32:10 nPar0 syslog: gethostbyaddr: tat100rm2.tattelecom.ttc. != 192.168.100.2

As I recall this problem could be related to hostname lookup. Make sure that both forward and reverse hostname lookups are working correctly.

nslookup
nslookup

The above command should return the same information.

Try logging in from the command line as super-user and change the nameswitch order of hosts to /etc/hosts, DNS, [NIS, or None] and try logging in. To change, start SAM, select Networking and Communications / NameSwitch, highlight hosts and under Actions select configure...

Thanks to all. I had solve this problem.
Really it was in DNS. I found old record with same IP adress, and deleted it.
