not able to start cde-session
when logging in as non-root I get the following message:
"Unable to initialize or connect to the Desktop messaging system. Check your $HOME/.dt/errorlog for more information. Press OK and your session will exit."
Lookin into .dt/errorlog reveals the following:
"dtsession: The ToolTalk session server (ttsession) could not be started. This
indicates that either ToolTalk is not installed or that it is not
installed correctly on this machine. Please see your System
Administrator.
Workspace Manager: I/O error on display:: dummy:0.0"
But there is a process "/usr/dt/bin/ttsession -s" running.
I am able to log in as root without problems. Please give me some hints! Should I reinstall ToolTalk. Or are there any config-files I've missed?
Best regards,
Aleksandar Vujevic

Re: not able to start cde-session
Looks like it is a permissions issue.
Check the permissions of /etc/resolv.conf, /etc/hosts, /etc/services files. They should have read permissions for others.
Run /usr/contrib/bin/X11/dr_dt
and fix the errors that show up.

Re: not able to start cde-session
DISPLAY=$(who -m -u | awk '{print $8}'):0.0
export DISPLAY
Usually makes that problem go away.
I put it in /etc/profile
others put it in .profile

Re: not able to start cde-session
I checked dr_dt's output and removed some warnings about some missing langauge files. Now I get no warnings at all.
I installed patch PHSS_29201 which resolves some ttsession issues, notably a version mismatch warning showing up in syslog.log:
"/usr/dt/bin/rpc.ttdbserver[1492]: rpc.ttdbserverd version (1.1) does not match the version () of the database tables. Please install an rpc.ttdbserverd version (or greater)"
The syslog is clean now. I would guess the problem has something to do with permissons but then dr_dt says it's all right. Is there anything else I can do?
Thanks,
Aleks

Re: not able to start cde-session
nslookup dummy ? nsloopup dummy's_ip ?
can we see the entries in /etc/hosts or is DNS or NIS involved ? If yes what happens if we rely on entries in /etc/hosts via nsswitch.confs hosts: line ....
ll $HOME ? for an affected user ? what's the ownership of the .TTauthority file ? it's not owned by root at all ? or are the non-root users sharing the same $HOME or similar ie uuid

Re: not able to start cde-session
it looks like it doesn't matter how I try to log in (workstation, xterminal or pc (via Exceed)). It's the same error message (see 1st message).
Networking is ok. I'm using DNS and I can ping and nslookup the workstation. I can start a CDE-session as root but not as some other user.
I just noticed there is no .TTauthority file for some users. Those who have this file the ownership ist 600 (owned by the user).

Re: not able to start cde-session
If root can login but the users cannot, it's almost always a permission problem somewhere. I would also check the /etc/hosts file (should be 444), the /etc/resolv.conf file (again, 444), and /etc/nsswitch.conf (444).
Hope this helps.

Re: not able to start cde-session
/etc/resolv.conf had 640. Changed it to 644 and everything is ok. Unfortunatly dr_dt doesn't check this file.
Thank you all for your help.
Aleks
P.S.: At least I learned a lot about CDE ;-)
