Hi, I have been running VMS Decwindow on my workstation and just switched over to Ultrix. I installed the software from CD-Rom the installation went fine I just did a basic installation to see if I could get this going. When I booted the system after the installation it came up fine but the server never started. When I tried to start it by hand by doing /usr/bin/Xqdsg I get the following error: Could'nt get SG device map InitSg: Could'nt get FIFO buffer Is there something I am not doing that I missed. I was under the impression the the UWS software would start automatically when I booted the system. I am familiar with Ultrix but not in a workstation environment. I also dont have much experience in system management with Ultrix. Any suggestion would be appreciated. Or if there is anywhere in the Ultrix Docs that talks about this (I did'nt see anything). Thanks, Marc

>/usr/bin/Xqdsg I get the following error: > Could'nt get SG device map > InitSg: Could'nt get FIFO buffer Power-off/power-on and, boot to single user mode, Run 'fsck' and 'shutdown -r now' to see what happens. Hope you are not having hardware or faulty software installation problems. Kris.. | |||||

I solved my own problem. I had the console of my 3100 going to the printer port and used a session on my vt330. So what I did was switched the console back to the graphics monitor and reinstalled Ultrix. Once I did that everything came up fine. For some reason when the system was being configured it must have thought there was no graphics device since the console was not a graphics device. By the way does anyone know if there is a way to set up an alternate console running Ultrix? Thanks, Marc | |||||
