The Desktop Messaging System Could Not Be Started HP-UX
Hi People!
I've just got a HP-UX system dumped on me. I've started it, followed all the install/setup questions, and everything was going ok, right upto when going into the desktop enviroment I got the message "The Desktop Messaging System Could Not Be Started".
Now I've checked the /etc/hosts file and their are 3 entries:
192.168.0.1 coms.mshome.net coms
192.168.0.125 hpunix hpunix
127.0.0.1 localhost loopback
In falesafe mode I can ping 192.168.0.125 but cannot ping hpunix (the name of the system). I presume I've got to fix this before the desktop will work.
Any ideas whats gone wrong?
Cheers
Phil
