1633.0. "Problem running decwindows Process on the boot node" by RUTLND::POLCARI (John Polcari,APO1/C11,289-1704) Thu Oct 26 1989 15:39

    
    I am trying startup up the decwindows process on a 785 so that the 
    satellites can run decwindows on the boot nodes because they dont have 
    enough memory to run it.
    
    I changed the window_system parameter to a 1 and then rebooted the 
    system. When I try to startup decwindows it says that No graphics 
    on this system. 
    
    Then I try to type in   Set display/node="......."  but it says that 
    no such device is available. It is looking for a decw$display.
    
    
    How can I go about running Decwindows  process on the Boot nodes 
    for the satellites?

    No graphics available is normal on the boot node.  Don't forget to say
    /CREATE on the SET DISPLAY command, which is your current problem.
    Don't forget to authorize the workstation from Session/Customize/Security.
    
    This has been covered before in this conference.
