HWEnable11i - Install screwed up CDE or Graphics Resource Manager

[JJ_4]

Humm,

Not impressed.

I have recently installed HP-UX 11i and was enjoying the thought of ... using it. I had a few SCSI errors and a hang or two and so installed HWEnable11i on my 11i (J2240) machine.

Now I get big problems and cannot start CDE ...

/var/dt/Xerrors :-
Unable to open the Graphics Resource Manager.
The error occurred during GRM initialization.
The X11 server must be able to communicate with the
Fatal server error:
GRM process.

Unable to open the Graphics Resource Manager.

error (pid 2165): Server unexpectedly died

Tue May 29 14:27:16 2001
error (pid 2165): Server for display jaime:0 can't be started.

Vanilla HP-UX 11i.

I swremoved the HWEnable11i - no help.
I re-installed HWEnable11i with no CDE running ('cos it wouldn't start).
I installed PHSS_21811.
I removed chinese and japanese support ('cos it was large).

Any clues at all ('cos I can't do my job - never could really, but now it also looks really bad without any graphics).

Hi

found some docs about your problem .
first the problem acour because the grmd dont have memory to do it .

my advise it to increase the semmnu params

if it not working try to increase the Semaphore params

here is the list of params and des :
sema
(Series 700 only). Enable or disable IPC semaphores at system boot time.

semaem
Maximum value by which a semaphore can be changed in a semaphore "undo" operation.

semmap
Size of free-semaphores resource map for allocating requested sets of semaphores.

semmni
Maximum number of sets of IPC semaphores allowed on the system at any given time.

semmns
Total system-wide number of individual IPC semaphores available to system users.

semmnu
Maximum number processes that can have undo operations pending on any given IPC semaphore on the system.

semume
Maximum number of IPC semaphores that a given process can have undo operations pending on.

semvmx
Maximum value any given IPC semaphore is allowed to reach (prevents undetected overflow conditions).


also my advise , dont install patches if you dont have a problem

[Alex Glennie]

ensure the following permissionsare set:

-r-sr-sr-x 1 daemon sys /usr/lib/grmd
drwxrwxr-x 4 root sys /usr/spool/sockets
drwxrwxr-x 2 bin sys X11
Note that the group ownership on these files MUST be set to "sys", not to "other".

Also maybe worth installing PHSS_21811 ..... latest 11.11 Xserver patch ?

does dr_dt give any further clues ?

Well, thanks to all.

However, it was not the most obvious, bearing in mind that this had been up and running.

The default shmmax at 4Mb was insufficient for ... grmd.

So now all is good.
