CDE login error

[ITSD-ACCS]

I try to log-in as normal session, but I get an error. Error message on the screen is "Unable to intialize or connect to the Desktop messaging system. Check you $Home/.dt/errorlog for more information. Press OK and your session will reset"

I looked in the /.dt/errorlog file and found the following:

dtsession: The ToolTalk session server(ttsession) could not be started. This indicates that either ToolTalk is not installed or that it is not installed correctly on this machine. Please see your System Administrator.

Workspace Manager: I/O error on display::my_computer:0.0

I tried to follow the advise to remove the ./dt directory, .TTauthority and .Xauthority uner $HOME.

I use account 'OPER1' to login and it work fine. Then I tried the other user account 'OPER2' , the same error occurred. Please note that OPER1 and OPER2 share the same home directory

Please advise.

Check /etc/hosts file.
Is it correct ?

[ITSD-ACCS]

I believe the host table is okay. As it work for user OPER1 .

Hi

Vi /etc/inetd.conf

comment out line
rpc stream tcp swait root /usr/dt/bin/rpc.ttdbserver 100083 1 /usr/dt/bin/rpc.tt
dbserver

inetd -c

kill rpc.ttdbserver if running

If you are only using HP this is enough

Otherwise

ll -d /TTD_DB /*/TT_DB

remove any directories found

vi /etc/inetd.conf

remove comment from line above

inetd -c
