the problem is, i cant log on using the cde - the machine thinks a while, and goes back to the cde logon. so i logon via a prompt, no problem.
I have modified .profile and .dtprofile with
DISPLAY=Socrates:0.0
export DISPLAY
this doesn't seem to work - sam boots is terminal mode. if i enter the above two lines at a prompt, and then run sam, i get:
the DISPLAY environment variable is set to "socrates:0.0", but the current configuration won't allow sam to run on that display.
... by typing /usr/bin/X11/xhost +Socrates
...
(obviously the machine is named socrates)
when i type the xhost +Socrates, i get unable to open display "socrates:0.0"
i am new to unix, and am trying to learn it, but i am having a hard time finding enough entry level stuff to configure the machine with.
any help is much appreciated. the machine does see my local network - i can ping my firewall and other computers, so the network part seems ok.
thanks
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: CDE problem
It sounds as if the Xserver is starting fine, otherwise you wouldn't see the CDE login screen ! So ...
Check the following : /var/dt/Xerrors (Xservers Log file)
/var/adm/syslog/syslog.log
/etc/rc.log
$HOME/.dt/startlog & errorlogs, consider adding set -x into your .dtprofile, you'll get more info in startlog !
I'd also remove the DISPLAY setting in the .profile & .dtprofile to avoid confusion, i don't think it's a good idea to set them anyway, as if networking & hostname resolution are OK, the system should work it out for itself.
Run the CDE diagnostic tool : dr_dt & make sure you're patched for latest CDE/Motif and Xserver Patches.
Depending on the errors you find will determine the root cause, if none are found I'd suggest networking/hostname resolution is the most likely candidate, if you make the system standalone ie : edit /etc/nsswitch.conf to use files only and make sure the entries in /etc/hosts include the hostname & loopback entries and tie up with those in
/etc/rc.config.d/netconf what happens, nb I'd init 2 then init 3, no need for a reboot.
Also we can run CDE in debug but more of that later.....

Re: CDE problem
Exactly the same problem. Solved by configuring the LAN interface and the hosts file. Also, Network Service Switch should look at /etc/hosts first rather than DNS.
Use SAM in the command line only log in. Go to networking configuration and you'll see the points I've stated.
All the best,
John.
