[Technical Support_2]

Hi
System is up and running except CDE.
/etc/rc.log says
Start CDE login server
Output from "/sbin/rc3.d/S990dtlogin.rc start":
----------------------------

permission on files are ok
-r--r--r-- 1 bin bin 616 Jul 1 16:03 /etc/hosts

Name resolv is working fine.
ip to name is working fine. I can ping both way.

/var/dt/Xerror has this
more /var/dt/Xerrors

dr_st reports two warning.
WARNING: /usr/dt/bin/xmbind does not exist. It needs
to be on the system in order for HP CDE to run properly.
There may have been a problem at installation. You
can either reinstall HP CDE or get a copy of the file
from another compatible system.

Two dt processes are running
ps -ef |grep dt

root 5400 3063 0 09:32:10 pts/0 0:00 grep dt

No X process is runing
ps -ef |grep X returns empty

Changes: we replace graphics card bring by HP. same model.

Ignore the 2 dr_dt errors .... not relevant but if you've changed the graphics card try this ->

rmsf /dev/*crt*
insf -evd framebuf

reboot or bring back to run-level 3

also I'd try to isolate why X isn't running, if the above doesn't work try init 2 and then run /usr/bin/X11/X :0 any errors ?

Attached is the CDE tshoot guide..

hope it helps..

Check for patches:

11. dr_dt is checking for /usr/dt/bin/suid_exec and
xmbind which do not load.

Resolution:
The dr_dt utility has been fixed so that the search
for suid_exec will not be done as it is not delivered
and search for xmbind would be done at the correct
location.

Hi Alex,
I was reading your thread
http://forums.itrc.hp.com/cm/QuestionAnswer/1,,0x0990e7613948d5118fef0090279cd0f9,00.html

did everthing what you have mention

Still trying.

What about running sam and checking the Xserver/graphics card is enabled under DISPLAY->XserverConfig->add screen to config ? or checking in the /etc/X11/X0.screens file it adds up to the same thing ?

Does running X: 0 give us any clues/errors ?

I'd be surprised if the graphics setup is being stored and not released in the ioconfig files and don't like advising people to mv the copies in /stand and /etc unless I've ran out of all other ideas .....

[Alex Glennie]

I *think* this is X related nothing to do with CDE .... most likely device files or Xserver configuration ....I've just read my old post and that covers CDE issues ... have you tried my suggestions wrt rmsf/insf and also the Xserver/sam config yet ? results ?

[Sachin Patel]

Cool X man

While I was reading your thread and talking to HP. In file /etc/dt/config/Xserver I found this line in comment
# * Local local@console /usr/bin/X11/X :0

Ask HP guy because I was reading your other thread and saw that this line needs to be uncommented.

Everthing is working fine now.

That'd throw a spanner in the works ..... tells X to start locally on your local dispaly

what I can't figure is if it was working how or who put the # in front of the * local line .... guess the give away was CDE was runing but not X and me jumping to conclusions re the change of graphics cards .....doh !

Been busy this last hour had quite a of X related questions on the forums and in the UKRC comming through so my excuse is I can't multi task too well ;) Time for a coffee and a smoke I think ;) or get me a JRF clone ;)

Most probable. It happens automatic because we had console far far from system (i.e using extension cable) and yesterday they move monitor one door down. Display didn't comeup and so guy called hp and ask for new graphics card. HP replace graphics card. But may be because video signal wasn't strong enough it did disable that line and boot the system to level 3.
Today someone use sorter monitor cable and hook monitor. but because of disable line it never comeup to CDE.

Then they ask me to fix it ASAP.
