35.0. "Xtoolkit fatal error" by KATO::NOFSINGER () Thu Jan 26 1989 18:18

    
    After installing decwindows on the client, rebooting the system
    with decw$startup in the systartup_v5.com with no errors from the
    system, I tried the procedures in note 19.  On Chile I've set 
    security access for client::nofsinger.  The results of my attempts
    are shown below.
    
    >set display/create/perm/trans=decnet/node=chile
    >show display
    
        Device:    WSA2:
        Node:      CHILE
        Transport: DECNET
        Server:    0
        Screen:    0
    
    >run sys$system:vue$master
    %DWT-F-DWTABORT, xtoolkit fatal error
    
    On the client x$x0 does not exist even though decw$startup executed
    without errors (this may be normal I'm trying to provide as much
    information as possible).   
    
    Any ideas appreciated.

35.1desperate remediesOKYAH::COLLINSMJSomething to do with BSB....Fri Jan 27 1989 09:2015
    Some simple suggestions based on local experience...
    
    1.	See note 26, have you stopped and started DECnet on 'client'?
    
    2.	Are 'chile' and 'client' both running the same version of
        DECwindows. I can only get this 'set display' lark to work
        between nodes running the same versions.
    
    3.  Now for the obvious one... 'chile' is running DECwindows isn't
        it? No insult intended but a customer I know did try this!
    
    Good luck.
    
    Mike.

      No I've not stopped decnet.

     Installed from the same savesets.
     
     The only difference being that on the client (a Hyperion) I did
    not install the workstation device support software.  The client 
    and server (chile) are not part of a cluster.

    This may not be the problem, but I get the XToolkit fatal error
    consistently if I try to run from a subprocess. eg: I have three
    main windows. In one of them I SET HOST 0 and log into SYSTEM. I
    can run anything in the two main windows but will get a fatal error
    from the xtoolkit from my SYSTEM window every time.

35.4CLOCK WORKS CLOCK WORKS ASD::NAMBURITue Oct 30 1990 14:3412
I NOticed this while working with decwindows.

 Shouldn't this feature change for the better:

		Time had to be modified on my workstation due to change
	in the day light savings time. I set the time using the DCL
	command. Clock did not reflect the change immediately. It has to
	be stopped and restarted again. I feel it should work the other
	way i.e,"It should reflect the change immediately".
