| I would say you almost certainly have two logins running at the sametime.
How this happens, I could not guess. You should be able to verify this
with a SHOW SYS. As to what causes it, I don't know given that you have
checked your startup file. Is it possible that this happened only
once, or does it happen repeatably?

| 763.2 | LOGO problem | 37755::WESTMORELAND | | Thu May 11 1989 16:43 | 11 |
| Burns,
This seems to happen with some consistency when you log on
directly after system startup. Once you resolve the problem by
"quitting" the session manager it does not reappear unless the system
is rebooted.
Is there a particular process that controls the Digital log which
would get duplicated; if so what would the process name be? Appreciate
the help, Rob.

| The logo is run by the login process, which is started by sending a mailbox
message to the job controller (just as with a terminal). I'm afraid we'll
have to wait till the login/session manager guru gets back from DECUS.

| 763.5 | Possible solution | 7415::DMCARR | Those summer nites are calling... | Fri May 12 1989 14:06 | 12 |

One possible cause is if you're running RSM. In sys$manager, there's
a file named rsm$startup_commands.dat which contains a list of
the installed products and their associated startup commands. Change
the startup command for decwindows to be the string "rsm(#)keine"
(don't ask why this particular string is used - its a mystery), & this
will keep rsm from starting a second decwindows session. (There is
another note elsewhere in this conference re: this situation, but I'll
be darned if I can find it).

I've had the same problem as mentioned in .0 -- and I'm not
running RSM. Reply .2 described it best, logging in immediately
after system startup. The only difference being that my logo
does disapear after you enter username and password but then
pops back while the session manager is starting.
I've also tried logging in to the "new login screen" and it
works perfectly. I end up with two session manager icons
as well as two DECterm 1's two DECterm 2's etc..
I'm running V5.1-B on a Mayfair/GPX

| Dom,
You indeed were correct. I followed your suggestions and the
problem was resolved. Appreciate the help it certainly had me stumped.
Thanks again. Rob.

| 763.8 | YES I wanna remove the logo!!!! | ROMCSA::RAMPA | Real men don't use menu ! | Wed Jun 28 1989 07:21 | 7 |
| hi,
I would remove the DEClogo from the login-out or (better)
subistitute it with a custom one... In the related .dat file seems to be
possible to set the logo constant to False but: it works on ultrix but
not on VMS... Can anyone find a way to remove it ?

| To remove the DIGITAL logo from the login process on VMS, you define
an exec mode logical in the SYSTEM logical name table with the name
DECW$LOGIN_BACKGROUND. It doesn't matter what value you assign
the logical, but it must be in the SYSTEM table and in exec mode
as those are the only logicals that LOGINOUT looks at.
$define/exec/system decw$login_background anything
I've heard in the future you will be able to point to a file with
your logo. I also heard that one of the first customers to call
the CSC here in CS to find out how to do this (disable the logo)
was IBM. It seems Big Blue didn't like having our logo in large
letters on their VAX workstations.
