I'm running Digital Unix True64 system. version4.0. My CDE is shutoff. How can I start the CDE. When I boot my system I don't even get graphic startup picture in the beginn. I've tried to activate thourgh Graphical UI Selection Facility in /usr/sbin/setup.But all I have is alot of inactive processes and no CDE. Even after a reboot.

And Do have to change the /etc/initab to make the CDE start after every boot or where in the shell I have to make the changes that CDE starts everytime that reboot.

I know that before it use to work on this system.

Please Help....

You must insure that your X server environment and processes are running before CDE kicks off.

Data CDE

Yes X server environment and processes are running. And all the programs are installed. Some reason it doesn't run.

I'd tried useing /sbin/init.d/xlogin start that didn't work. I had to kill that process because the machine stopped running. This I got direct from Unix support.

Then I got a tip from someone to start /usr/dt/bin/dtlogin -daemon. And that did not work.

I know that shells and profiles that start the CDE but still can't see or find that keeps the CDE from starting..

Please Help again........

There may be some environmental variables that must set before CDE will start properly. Do you know what environmental variables CDE requires (LANG, DISPLAY, etc.)

For many X applications, the DISPLAY environmental must be set (and set correctly) for X to work. A quick example of the use of DISPLAY:

export DISPLAY=localhost:0.0

(as I recalloff the top of my head, please check the syntax).

Also, the host which is receiving the X application must have provided permission for the X application to run on the host (normally with the <B>xhost</B> command

Help Neo,

I know but this is dumm question. Where is X applications to be found. Your example from DISPLAY could not find.

And I don't know what environmental variables CDE requires???

Note that all I know is that CDE worked before on this system and was shut off.

thanks
