Regarding local display...

[srinu_1]

Hi all,

I am not getting the login prompt locally.I am able to login remotely to this server.It's showing simply blank screen.What is this problem?.Any idea, please suggest me.

In the server check telnet/ssh running fine.
You can refresh inetd.

Also You can check your Firewall and other restrictions in the local pc.

hth,
Raj.

Hi raj,
I restarted the inetd services.But no use.Still I am getting the same problem.

Firewall restrictions means which service and parameters should i check?.

Thanks

Hi,

You mean, not getting console login? or Display login?
What kind of Server/Workstation it is?

Regards,
Rajesh

Srinu ,

getty is only responsible here for console login.

You have problem with console login or with all telnet login ?

If problem with console login , check if getty is running :

/usr/sbin/getty console console


Cheers,
Raj.

Hi,

Sounds like issue with monitor.
Monitor is not compatible. Display wouldn't come for 14 and 15 Inches monitor seen.

Try with connecting any 17 Inches monitor.

Thanks & Regards,
Rajesh

If you have the chance, reboot and hold the "del" key at the console during start up. See the following from the "init" man page:

"If messages are expected but do not appear during booting, it may be caused by the logical system console (/dev/syscon) being linked to a device that is not the physical system console (/dev/systty). If this occurs, you can force boot init to relink /dev/syscon to /dev/systty by pressing the DEL (delete) key (ASCII 127) on the physical system console."

I seem to recall that, on early HP-UX 11, this would happen if the system was rebooted from a station other than the console / GSP
