991.0. "dtadvfs doesn't appear!" by MSAM00::FOOSZEMUN () Wed Jan 29 1997 03:39

    Hi,
    
    	I'm installing 2 Alphaserver 2000 running Digital Unix 4.0a with
    LSM & Advfs.  I've already install the subset of Advfs from the
    associate product 4.0a cd #2 (AFA401).  I also installed the
    advfs-utilities license & did a netsetup.
    
         But when I issue this command 'dtadvfs &', I got a pid then a #
    prompt reapply.  After that nothing happen.  But there is no error
    messages at all.  This problem also happened  the other system.  
    Then I did a 'ps -ef|grep 'xxx'.  xxx -- pid of advfs gui, the 
    process wasn't there.  I also checked the syslod.dated & messages
    files, I didn't see any error.  
    
    	What should I do next?  For your information, I still haven't
    install any patches yet.
    
    
    
    Thanks,

Look in /var/opt/dtadvfs/ for a log file.  I've forgotten exactly where it gets
placed, and I can't look it up on the current system.

Also, try running it from csh.  That at least will tell you when a background
job has exited, which sh won't.  My first guess is an xhost or display problem.

    Hi,
    
    	Thank for your reply.  You are right, it is a display problem.  I
    made a mistake, I forgot to configure the system using ECU.  The current
    type of configuration is using a standard VGA driver.  After 
    I installed the drive & rebuild the kernel, everything is working fine.
    
    
    
    Thanks,
