Re: Graphic port login

Hello Michael

what kind of system are you working on???

If the graphic environment is displayed on your graphic port and you dont's want it anymore just run : dtconfig -d

If you are on an itanium based server more info is needed as to what is the current situation , OS etc.

Cheers

It is Itanium, HPUX B.11.23

Yes. Itanium servers have a VGA port on the back, which is connected to the MP card.

If you connect a keyboard, color monitor, you can configure the console to be there in the EFI menu.

Here's a doc with some details:

Re: Graphic port login

I am perfectly sorry, but my question is how to have command line login on graphic port with console defined on serial port.

Re: Graphic port login

You only have to disable the startup of the Xserver on the local console.

This is done through a script in /sbin/rc3.d (dtrc? dtwm?) which has a corresponding file in /etc/rc.config.d/

Disable it, and You get the command line login.

Re: Graphic port login

Have you tried? If yes? what is the output of tty command on this terminal?
