5939.0. "CDE/no login box/open3D" by VAXRIO::MAURO () Fri Mar 14 1997 14:07

    Hi,
    
    AlphaStation 255/300
    PalCode 5.56
    Console Vers 6.3-5
    OpenVMS 6.2-1h3
    Motif 1.2-4
    DECW$OUTPUT = GYA0 (I suspect it is a ZLX-E)
    
    During the the Motif startup the login box doesn't appear. We already
    checked all sysgen parameters. The startup stop with a black screen.
    The DECW$SERVER_0_ERROR.LOG stop with the messages below:
    
    GL Extension initialized
    Build Date and source Tree:
    DEC:PKO:O3D:3.4.0"V32_SSB:3.4.0:09:18;96:OSF1:V3.2.148:CC::OPT::

    14-MAR-1997 14:43:35.4 Calling dispatcher...
    
    I found the open3d035.release_notes in SYS$HELP I would like to known
    how to be sure that it is being installed during the boot. Do I need to
    include a open3d startup file within the systartup_vms.com?
    How I can check out if it seems to be installed all right?
    Any other reason for login box doesn't appear?
    Is the procedure to troubleshoot no login box from motif 1.2-3 useful
    to motif 1.2-4 (CDE)?
    Any tip will very welcome...
    
    Thanks, Mauro.

	You can get a log file for the CDE login process the same way as for the DECwindows login process: by defining the logical name DECW$LOGINLOG in SYS$MANAGER:DECW$PRIVATE_APPS_SETUP.COM to be the name of the log file and restarting DECwindows. -- Bob
5939.2	No news with .1	VAXRIO::MAURO		`Mon Mar 17 1997 10:06`	9
	I used .1 suggestion. During the DECW$STARTUP restart the file DECW$LOGIN.LOG is created empty. It seems that everything works fine but the console screen maintains itself blue/white letter, but not locked, the customer is able to access it as a serial terminal. Does it can be a hardware problem? Or even an error in the Graphic Card configuration? Regards, Mauro.
5939.3		GRIM::MESSENGER	Bob Messenger	`Mon Mar 17 1997 11:35`	9
	Is the DECW$SERVER_0 process running after the login attempt? If so, try this: log into the SYSTEM account and enter these commands: $ set display/create/transport=local $ run decw$examples:ico Does the ICO program start? If not, what error messages does it display? -- Bob
5939.4	I think already did this test...	VAXRIO::MAURO		`Mon Mar 17 1997 12:02`	15
	Bob, the system is out right now. But I figure that already did this test and the run ico didn't return error and after few minutes I aborted it. After that, when I try to type the decw$server_0_error.log I got the message "file currently locked for another user". If I restart the decwindows the previous version of this file is empty. Do you have any tips about Alphastation 255/300 with motif 1.2-3, openvms 6.2 and open3d v3.5? May I get this situation if I have a wrong graphic card? The is a FIS station and since the customer started to use it that Motif didn't work. Thanks, Mauro.
