X-windows only works for root

[Eric Shupe]

I just got a copy of Reflection X installed. When the CDE login comes up I can log in as root and everything is fine, the workspace and desktop loads. Now when I try to log in as a user it gives me an error saying the desktop messaging systems could not be started. Then when I click OK the Reflection X session terminates. Is there something I need to set for all the users to be able to use CDE with Reflections??

Thanks

Eric,

Are the users' home directories local (I assume root's is)?

Hi Eric,

sounds like a permissions problem with your CDE installation to me...
Try "swverify CDE*" and check the contents of your "/var/adm/sw/swverify.log" for wrong owners/groups/permissions.
Then correct those being wrong.

HTH,

Hi,

Along with the suggestions listed above, try running /usr/contrib/bin/X11/dr_dt and see if it lists out any errors.

This could be simple permission issue. Also try as one user and look at his/her $HOME/.dt/errorlog to see if you get any clues there.
