UNIX HP-UX

Hi,

While login to Xmanager its showing " XDMCP connection failed. Try again? "
the error attached .

Is the /usr/dt/bin/dtlogin process running on your server?
dtlogin is the process that handles your XDM connections.

Hi vbe,

Yes it's working the output given below -:

# ps -ef | grep dtlogin
    root  3448 26431  0 15:53:49 pts/0     0:00 grep dtlogin
4

the output shows your gep only

Look what it should look like:

# a HPUX 11.00 box
ra1:/home/vbe $ ps -ef|grep [d]tlogin
    root  1534  1515  0  Aug 25  ?         0:07 /usr/dt/bin/dtlogin
# a HPUX 11.11...
ant:/home/vbe $ ps -ef|grep [d]tlogin
    root  2369  2319  0  Sep  6  ?         0:01 /usr/dt/bin/dtlogin
    root  6243  2369  0  May 29  ?         0:00 /usr/dt/bin/dtlogin

now look using your command:

ant:/home/vbe $ ps -ef|grep dtlogin  
    root  2369  2319  0  Sep  6  ?         0:01 /usr/dt/bin/dtlogin
    root  6243  2369  0  May 29  ?         0:00 /usr/dt/bin/dtlogin
     vbe 12142 12047  1 16:31:01 pts/2     0:00 grep dtlogin

In red, the grep command...

OK,
Then please tell me where is the problem occurred.

7

Let's start by the obvious... Arrghhh you did not mention your OS version and platform...
So till 11.11 this is what you do to find your init level: who -r dtlogin starts at 3...

8

Hi vbe,

The OS details is as follows -:

 HP-UX   B.11.31 U ia64

And after using who -r its showing -:

# who -r dtlogin
dtlogin doesn't exist or isn't readable
Usage:  who [-rbtpludAasHTqRmW] [am i] [utmp_like_file]
9

It was just who -r
to type:

ant:/home/vbe $ who -r
   .       run-level 3  Sep  6 11:08    3    0    S

Then look at the end of /etc/rc.log :

...skipping...

Start CDE login server
Output from "/sbin/rc3.d/S990dtlogin.rc start":
----------------------------

**************************************************
HP-UX run-level transition completed
Tue Sep  6 11:10:45 METDST 2011
**************************************************
rc.log: END
10

in rc.log its not showing this as per you said -:

...skipping... Start CDE login server Output from "/sbin/rc3.d/S990dtlogin.rc start": ---------------------------- ************************************************** HP-UX run-level transition completed Tue Sep 6 11:10:45 METDST 2011 ************************************************** rc.log: END

11

edit /etc/rc.config.d/desktop and
add "DESKTOP=CDE" or modify the line to if exist
then do a

/sbin/init.d/dtlogin.rc start

OR

dtconfig -e can be used to set this up for you. Man dtconfig for details.

12

in desktop its showing " CDE Desktop enabled Thu May 24 17:50:34 IST 2012
DESKTOP=CDE
DTPRTSVR= "

so is it require to take backup of the file before editing ??
where shall i add the code in desktop ?? front of "DESKTOP=CDE " ??

13

No
execute dtconfig -e

Then look again at /etc/rc.config.d/desktop

It should have added new lines like:

# CDE Desktop enabled Mon Feb  7 20:18:43 MET 2011
DESKTOP=CDE
DTPRTSVR=

If so, execute now (as root...)

/sbin/init.d/dtlogin.rc start
14

Well?

15

After doing this its also not showing anything regarding dtlogin in /etc/rc.log.

16

rc.log is for when the system comes up, at boot time...

So if you have executed

/sbin/init.d/dtlogin.rc start

Check now to see if its running:

ps -ef|grep [d]tlogin

17

YES,

now its showing -:

# ps -ef|grep [d]tlogin
root 29358 29167 0 18:15:46 pts/0 0:00 /usr/dt/bin/dtlogin
