hpux desktop - dterm and xterm

[Patrick H Hughes]

After logging into desktop and opening a dterm window I get nothing but bogus characters returned. Any additional dterm windows open render the same results. I did a telnet session from a workstation and also received bogus characters in a xterm window. Thus far I have restored the /usr /h/COTS /h/COE and the profile and login files under the / directory. In single user mode everything appears normal. Any idea or suggestions on what to try next?

Thanks,

Does text appear normal when you login to CDE? Do the Dtterm menus look normal? Have you tried specifying a different font via the menu? Have you tried a "failsafe" session? What about the CDE text editor "dtpad" from the front-panel? Do you login on the console of the system directly, or via an X terminal, PC, etc?



In the CDE "Application Manager" you will find an icon for "xwd" which will let you take a window dump and save to a file. Use this to grab a shot of the dtterm/xterm display and we'll probably be able to offer additional suggestions.
