How to start up openwin after console login?

[leereg_5]

System: HP11.0
After installation, it can not startup open windows. Each time after rebooting, I have to login from console and can not startup open windows. my question is:
How to start up openwindows as normal system boot?


Thanks in advance!

Are you referring to "OpenWindows" or to the CDE filesets which you can open GUI Motif programs.

I just got console login prompt. How to get CDE when bootup?

[Michael Tully]

Hi,

We use CDE from PC's on our desks. To make
sure that you can use CDE first let's make
sure that it is loaded.

Either this

# ps -ef |grep -i dt
# ps -ef |grep dt
root 5562 1 0 Aug 10 ? 0:00 /usr/dt/bin/dtrc /usr/dt/bin/dtrc
root 5589 5562 0 Aug 10 ? 0:00 /usr/dt/bin/dtlogin
root 2965 29126 1 15:31:17 pts/ta 0:00 grep dt
OR

# swlist -l product |grep CDE
CDE B.11.00 HP-UX CDE User Interface
CDEDevKit B.11.00.01 CDE Developer Kit
PHSS_13409 1.0 CDE Loc Action/Res Dec97 Cumulative Patch
PHSS_16482 1.0 CDE Localization for UTF8 locales
PHSS_20140 1.0 CDE Runtime OCT99 Cumulative Patch
PHSS_20145 1.0 CDE Msg Cat OCT99 Cumulative Patch

To connect from your PC you will need to
have a package installed, such exceed from
Hummingbird, XVision or something like this.
Once loaded and configured you can use X based
applications and see such things as SAM and
swinstall in GUI.

You could possibly use a Web console if you have one available to you, but we don't use one here so I am not sure if these work from the CDE or from web based applications.
If you are using a standard 70096 terminal as your console you will not be able to anything other than character based applications.

Hi Michael:
Maybe I've confused you. Infact after I installed the OS. It can not boot up to CDE even on it's own monitor(workstation). It just prompt "console login:" to me. I can only input root name and passwd to login. Any clue?

[Michael Tully]

What type of console/workstation is it?
Model number, product number will help.

[leereg_5]

We use HP B132L+ workstation with SUN 21' vertical color monitor.

Hi,

Just place the following line in the /etc/rc.config.d/desktop file

DESKTOP=CDE

This should start the X windows environment automaticaly each time you start the system.

Hi,

If U are set U installed CDE File Sets then make sure that U are booting the system to init level 4.becoz CDE starts only in init level 4.

U can try

# init 4

If that works then U can go ahead and change the default in /etc/inittab

Hope this helps out..

Hello,
The CDE starts at run level 3.
The file /sbin/rc3.d/S**dtlogin script starts it.

Just try /usr/dt/bin/dtconfig -e .
Then do a /sbin/init.d/dtlogin.rc start.
It should work.
Thanks.
