Can not login to CDE -- only Fail Safe Session permitted
Hi,
I am a hobbyist with a very old machine I have been trying to get up and running. I have an HP 9000/C240 with 1G of RAM and 3-8.5G HD. It is configured with 1G SWAP/DUMP. Currently only one drive is in use via LVM. I have not gotten around to creating more volumes just yet.
It is running HP-UX B.10.20A 900/782 two user license
This is a new install, and I am open to installing again. The problem I have is that when I try to login as root into CDE a core dump is produced after splashing the copyright information and the system immediately logs me back out. I can login to Fail Safe Session and run SAM just fine.
The system is configured on a network, and when it boots nothing is failing. When I login Fail Safe mode I can ping addresses on the Internet just fine.
Previously I had installed the OS with no networking. When I had done this I could login to CDE just fine using a wide number of accounts and shells.
I noticed that when I login as root using the Fail Safe Session, who reports that root is logged in twice, once as console and once as PTS/0 the console session is just idle.
I have created other accounts using SAM and then attempted to login to one of them, in all cases I have to use a Fail Safe Session.
I am interested in hearing thoughts regarding what can cause the system to produce the core file and then prevent me from logging in. Could it be the wrong terminal type? I am not sure how to check but I have an HP A4331D monitor on the machine.
I am very new to UNIX administration so please be specific when you ask me what the log files say.
Thank you in Advance,
Respectfully,
Dirk

dtwsmdeleteworkspace
DtWsmDeleteWorkspace(API) DtWsmDeleteWorkspace(API)
NAME
DtWsmDeleteWorkspace -- delete a specific workspace
SYNOPSIS
#include <Dt/Wsm.h>
int DtWsmDeleteWorkspace(
Widget widget,
Atom workspace);
DESCRIPTION
The DtWsmDeleteWorkspace() function works with the CDE workspace manager, dtwm(1), and deletes a specific workspace. Applications can use
this function to implement an interface to the workspace manager.
If the DtWsmDeleteWorkspace() function is not successful, the most likely reason for failure is that the CDE workspace manager, dtwm(1), is
not running. The DtWsmDeleteWorkspace() function requires a widget. A gadget (or unrealized widget) is not acceptable for the widget argu-
ment.
DtWsmDeleteWorkspace() sends a message to the CDE workspace manager, dtwm(1), to delete the workspace. If the workspace name is not valid,
no action is taken and the workspace manager reports no error.
ARGUMENTS
widget a realized widget
workspace the name of the workspace (in X atom form) to delete
RETURN VALUE
The function returns Success (0) when it succeeds, and non-zero when it fails. Note that these are not the same values _DtWsmDelete-
Workspace returns.
