616.0. "cde is not starting" by NETRIX::"[email protected]" (Ludwig Dallmeyr) Mon Mar 10 1997 10:37

Hi,

Have two systems in a dms environment:

DMU Server:

AServer 4100 4/400, DU 4.0a, FW Rev. v3.0, palcode 1.21.

DMU Client:

Decstation 3600, DU 4.0a environment, ZLX-M1 graphics card (PMAGC-AA),
FW Rev. v6.9.

Client is booting well, but cde is not startet.
Same error message like in note 8390 in digital_unix conference:

DMU Client (nntk14):
------------------

# more /var/X11/xdm/xdm-errors (also in /usr/var/dt/Xerrors)

xdm error (pid 6657): error 48 binding socket address 177

Fatal server error:
Failed to establish all listening sockets
xdm error (pid 915): server unexpectedly died
xdm error (pid 915): Server for display :0 can't be started, session disabled
#

Does somebody has a clue what is causing this error message ?
There was no solution in note 8390 and I haven't got enough 
knowledge about cde and X to figure out what is going on.
This note is also xposted in digital_unix conference.

Please help me,

Ludwig.

	Doesn't look like a CDE problem, something's wrong with your 
	Xserver.

616.2Xserver.conf file was emptyNETRIX::"[email protected]"Ludwig DallmeyrWed Mar 12 1997 05:1110
Hi,

You are definitely right, the Xserver.conf file was empty, so the 
X Server was not started. Therefore the xdm could not bind to 
X Server sockets.

Thanx for your help,

Ludwig.
