Screen Hang After Logon Using X-Windows (Reflection)

[Sorayuth Kamthawee_1]

Dear who can help me,

I had experienced problem with logon to the HP-UX using Reflection after I opened connect to the host, after I logged on to the system then the license screen (the blue screen) is displayed and then it will not bring me to the terminal session. After that I have to reboot the system, actually this is not the good way to do, but there are not any choices for me.

When this is occurred, it will affect to all clients and every accounts. Anyway before it's go wrong the hosts is working well.

What's going wrong to me,

My HP-UX is 11.0

Thanks in advanced for anyone who looking forward to help me,

Sorayuth

Hi,

In the first place, are you able to login and access CDE from the server itself? If you can't, login to the CLI (command line) mode and run /usr/contrib/bin/dr_dt to find out what is wrong with your CDE.

Hope this helps. Regards.

Hi,

Sorry, the full path of dr_dt should be:

# /usr/contrib/bin/X11/dr_dt

Hope this helps. Regards.

Hi,In CDE if root is able to login successfully and rest all is having problem then check this,

Go to comand line login and(options>command line login>)at CDE login screen,
1)
Check the permissions of the file /etc/hosts and /etc/copyright. Permissions for these two files should be set to atleast readable by every one using the commands.

chmod o+r /etc/hosts
chmod o+r /etc/copyright


If root itself is not able to login successfully in CDE,

2)
There may be a IP clash in your network.

There may another node or system in your network using the IP address of your system.

To find this out, disconnect your system from network and ping the Ip address of your system from some other system in network. In ideal condition it should not ping if it pings then there is an another system with same IP.

Hi

1)check dr_dt


2)Look at /var/dt/Xerrors
$HOME/.dt/startlog $HOME/.dt/errorlog

Post any error messages

3)Check the syslog

4)Check that rpcbind is running

[Nearly] everytime I've seen this problem, it's been caused by DNS mis-configuration.

If you're connecting to server A with client B, perform fully qualified forward and reverse look-ups of server A and client B on server A.

Odds are you'll find you need to tweak /etc/hosts or /etc/resolv.conf

Hi Everyone,

This machine can be ever used before from anywhere else in the system, and when it's has this problem occurred (I don't sure the time) everyone including can not logon to the host via Reflection and this is not the first machine that experiencing with this problem. The solution at a time that I use to troubleshooting this problem is just only reboot the machine, BUT I can't do that on the Production hosts.

The things that I can do for this time is:

(1) I can telnet to the hosts (Command Line)
(2) Open the Reflection and then issue command, export DISPLAY=w.x.y.z:0.0. After that I can use the X

But many of my applications need to connect via Reflection. Anyway I'm now investigating the problem from the output of command (it's very useful).

I will waiting for the solution from all of you, and will notify back if I have found some of other solution for this problem.

Thanks for your help,
Hope this problem will be solve nearly soon.

Check that rpcbind is running next time you have a problem, if it's not then fyi :

rpcbind is started by /sbin/init.d/nfs.core

Hi,

The problem about the X has been solved already, and the cause of the problem comes from (very thanks to "Alex Glennie") it has stopped. is stopped because I need to remove all services from all of our machines and had stopped by using the following command:

/sbin/init.d/nfs.client stop
/sbin/init.d/nfs.server stop
/sbin/init.d/nfs.core stop

Is there are any other way that I can start without starting the service?

Any I will start the until I have other solution to start without using

I would like to say thank you for "Steven Sim Kok Leong", your recommended command (dr_dt) is useful and it give me alot of information.

Again very thanks to "Alex Glennie" your recommendation help me so much.

Anyway thanks everyone for your help and recommendation.
