swagentd log

[Macho_2]

I had received the following error from the swagentd log file during swinstall. Please advice how to solve this issue :-



======= 08/21/08 15:37:03 JST END swagentd (pid = 24203).


======= 08/21/08 15:37:15 JST BEGIN swagentd (pid = 25134).

Looks like another install session is already running - check this.

>>>ERROR: Cannot lock "/" because another command holds a conflicting
lock. The process id of that command is 351

answer is there in output:

check if another instance is active when you tried
check process id 351..if your session is still active..

Hi;

Please refer to my attachment. Why my swinstall screeen is not readable properly.
Please advice.

You have a problem with the terminal emulation - what client are you using?

Try putty!

[Macho_2]

I am using HyperTerminal with vt100 Emulation and even using telnet and putty, I have the same problem.

[Torsten.]

check your TERM variable:

# echo $TERM
and set accordingly
# export TERM=vt100
or
# export TERM=xterm
(for putty).

You can also try

# eval `ttytype -s -a`

Hi;

I had change the term to vt100 and the problem still like that and even the putty have the same problem. Please advice.

Macho,

Please run following

#/bin/X11/resize

Recycle swagent daemon

/sbin/init.d/swagentd -r

See the results.

Dear;

I am still having the same issue. Cannot read the swinstall menu properly. What else can do ?

[Torsten.]

Even if I think you can make this working with putty, you can also try the GUI for swinstall.

I personally use Putty as others have mentioned (http://www.putty.org) but in either case your terminal and TERM settings must match.

In Hyperterminal under "File|Properties|Settings" set Emulation to VT100. Next, after logging in run the command "export TERM=vt100" before starting SD.
