Unable to login to HP UX system

[HPUX Admin_2]

When i try to login to HPUX System it gives the erroe as

The desktop messaging sysytem could not be started.

To correct the problem:

1. Chosse [OK] to return to login screen.

2. Select Failsafe Session from the login screen's option
menu and log in.

3. Check to see that the desktop is properly installed,
the hoastname is correct (/etc/hosts) and that the
network is properly configured.




I was able to login to system before and i cant restart the system its a Licence Server.

So please help.

Are you using an application on a PC/laptop to access the UX server?

If so can you provide some details about the PC and app?

If not are you logging in directly via CDE on the HP ux server itself?

Hi Rohit

Just follow the steps

Copy the nsswitch.files to the nsswitch.conf.

# cp /etc/nsswitch.files /etc/nsswitch.conf

If you use dns, edit the the line

hosts: files
to
hosts: files [NOTFOUND=continue] dns


have fun!!!

You have to fix this first.
Can you do a command line login?

it is not able to go in # promt

i think i have to restart the system and login in single user mode and make some space clear in /root

am i doing the write step.



Rohit

[Johnson Punniyalingam]

you can take reboot let the system come up.

no need to go single user mode,

Once system up .. pls check bdf --> output in front of the Console,

it should work .. :) than try clear some free space

Thanks,
Johnson

[Dennis Handly]

If you can log into the system from anywhere, can you do a bdf?
Can you free up some space in /tmp or /var/tmp?

[HPUX Admin_2]

i have rebooted but it dint worked same problem.


Rohit

[Johnson Punniyalingam]

>>i have rebooted but it dint worked same problem>>>

same probelm .?

bdf -> output

You can check if dtlogin is running with the following command:

ps -ef | grep dtlogin
If you do not see the dtlogin process listed (note that grep will be listed since it contains dtlogin in its parameter list) then you need to start it in order for Xdmcp sessions to this machine to work. You can start dtlogin as follows (as root):

/usr/dt/bin/dtlogin &

Your Xdmcp sessions should now work,

Thanks,
Johnson

[HPUX Admin_2]
