Unable to connect to server using CDE env using Hummingbird.

[Silver_1]

Hi,

I have rebooted a prod machine and now the users says that they are unable to connect the server using Hummingbird.

I have noticed that /etc/rc.config.d/desktop was having the entry wrong to start the X server, now i changed it to like this..

DESKTOP=CDE
DTPRTSVR=
DT_LOCAL_X_START_ALWAYS=


How can i start the X - server manually.

Thanks !

/sbin/init.d/dtlogin.rc start

/sbin/init.d/dtlogin.rc start

Now the X display is working while login using Putty.

When HummingBird is used, the CDE login screen comes up, the user logs in , after 15-20 seconds, it again asks for the password.

the errors are like this....

ERROR: Cannot open X display. Check display name/server access authorization.
ERROR: Explorer failed to initialize.
ERROR: Cannot open X display. Check display name/server access authorization.
ERROR: Cannot open X display. Check display name/server access authorization.
ERROR: Explorer failed to initialize.
ERROR: Device does not support full-screen.
ERROR: Device does not support full-screen...

Any ideas..???

Looks like you have an xauth issue to me.

How can i give other users to have the authority ?

Hi Silver,

Can you type the following commands again? The first command will enable the desktop auto-start.

/usr/dt/bin/dtconfig -e
dtlogin.rc start

Best Regards,

...Correction...
Sorry Silver,

I forgot to write /sbin/init.d/ for dtlogin.rc start command.

Right one is
/usr/dt/bin/dtconfig -e

/sbin/init.d/dtlogin.rc start
