Problem to log in with CDE
807559Nov 9 2001 — edited Sep 14 2005I got a preinstalled Solaris on an Ultra5 running. At first I did not want to use CDE, so I
used /usr/dt/bin/dtconfig -d and got everything working. After a couple of days I needed to run an application with graphical interface so I used /usr/dt/bin/dtconfig -e and restarted the mashine.
Unfortunatly after I log in I get an error message like:
The DT messaging system could not be started
1. Close your session
2. Start in Failsafe
3 Check your hosts file
...blah...blah
My hosts file looks something like:
#
# Internet host table
#
127.0.0.1 localhost loghost
10.128.76.77 zyklop loghost zyclop.intern.tstrch.com
I also deleted my home directory and created a blank one to see if some strange configuration file was the culprit, without luck, get the same message.
Everything else works i.e. I can telnet to the mashine over the lan so I guess the hosts stuff is working.
Several people recomended me reinstalling the whole OS, but I belive I am only missing something trivial.
Does anybody have any suggestions?
