Desktop login failed

When an GUI application was running on hpunix, I typed the following command line 'df -k /usr', then the application window dispeared from CDE. I had to logout. I got message shows that desktop login start failed. I had to relogin from 'console', and got the error message form /var/dt/Xerrors. The error message says that server unexpectly died and cannot start X server. How can I recover X server? I tried to boot hp server, it still cannot work.

Hi
What happens if you start the X server manually "/usr/bin/X11/X :0.0".

Hi,

you should try to remove the socket for the grmd manully. Just delete the file
/var/spool/sockets/grmd
It will be recreated by restarting the X-Windows subsystem. This may happen automatically, or can be force by reboot (or by stopping and starting the dtlogin.rc script.

Heiner
if this makes any sense to you, you have a BIG problem
