Re: CDE login window

[Adrian Jujescu_1]

Hi All,

On a HP Visualise 3600 workstation I encounter a strange problem with the CDE LOGIN WINDOW( the window in which we must tupe the login name, password, set different parameters of the Desktop ) after the workstation was abruptly stopped by an electrical power failure.
As we already know after the system complete his boot process, shows the command line login prompt and after few seconds if we dont try a login, he start the CDE LOGIN WINDOW.
Well my system refuse to start the CDE LOGIN WINDOW. He stays at the level of the command line prompt and I dont see any CDE LOGIN WINDOW.
I inspect the rc.log file and I notice that the CDE LOGIN SCRIPT finished with succes. If I try a remote X connection on other system I see and I can use without problem the CDE LOGIN WINDOW.
Finally I try to remove the .dtprofile, .dt, and other root user X related files but nothing good was happening, the CDE LOGIN WINDOW still refuse to appear on the display.
I want to ask you, all the peoples who master the CDE Environment, to guide me with hints & tips in order to solve this problem avoiding the reinstallation of the HP-UX.

Best Regards,
Adrian Jujescu

Hi Adrian,

Logon to the system from anywhere and run /usr/contrib/bin/X11/dr_dt. It should print out all the errors.

Do you see any errors? or simply the "console login:" prompt?.

I wonder if your keyboard and mouse are working fine?

Try this:

/usr/dt/bin/dtconfig -d
/usr/dt/bin/dtconfig -kill

/usr/dt/bin/dtconfig -e
/sbin/init.d/dtlogin.rc start

cp /usr/dt/config/Xservers -> /etc/dt/config/Xservers

uncomment the last line ;

* Local local@console /usr/bin/X11/X :0

/sbin/init 2
/sbin/init 3

result ?

Hello all,

Sorry for my delayed answer.
I try all the operations indicated by yo but nothing helps. The dt_dr utility shows only 6 smal problems whith the permissions of files and folders, i correct them but nothing good was happening.

Finally I ignite the station and reinstall all the software applications.

Thank you all for your support !!!

Hello again,

I want to ask Alex Glennie( but all the rest are welcomed ) if there is a book/white paper from HP trying to deal with the CDE trobleshooting methods(logs, configuration files and so on )

Thanks again
