GNOME on HPUX 11i

[James Clay_2]

Hello,

I have downloaded the package from www.software.hp.com for Ximian GNOME 1.4 and expected it to run straight away! I appreciate I should have known better, but has anyone managed to get the desktop to launch using hummingbord eXceed?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Hi James,

I think you just need to enable xdm in the gdm.conf file. It is located in /etc/opt/gnome/gdm. If you look under the section [xdmcp] and change Enable to true. I think you need to bounce gnome for this to take effect.

Also, if this is a workstation note this link for a fix for the gnome startup issues provided by Mike Stroyan :

Just do what James Murtagh says - I just did it myself - worked like a charm!

Tested with Exceed 7

I'm using it with Exceed 7 right now.

See this link.

It tells you how to switch your default environment from CD to GNOME

Step 8

in /etc/rc.config.d/desktop
change the line
DESKTOP=CDE
to
DESKTOP=GNOME

then
/sbin/init.d/gdm.rc start

if you get a message saying that gdm is already running do this

/sbin/init.d/gdm.rc stop
/sbin/init.d/gdm.rc start
