Hi, After the upgrade to VMS 5.3 and Decwindows 2.0 a customer can't start File View and DECterm windows from the session manager. He gets the message 'Starting file view' and 'Starting DECterm', but they never appear. SHOW SYSTEM shows no process. We increased GBLSECTIONS from 300 to 400 and 600, and GBLPAGES to 30000 and 50000. No success. VIRTUALPAGECNT 40000 PQL_DPGFLQUOTA 8192 PQL_MWSQUOTA 340 PQL_MWSDEFAULT 170 PQL_MWSEXTENT 340 PQL_MBYTLM 32768 PQL_MPRCLM 8 PQL_MASTLM 100 PQL_MBIOLM 40 PQL_MDIOLM 40 There is no INQUIRE in sylogin.com or login.com. We defined the logicals to get logfiles from the File View or DECterm, but without success. Pool parameter are o.k. Any ideas? Thanks in advance Michael

| 2799.1 | Bypass your login files. | UTRTSC::CAHILL | Tue May 22 1990 04:51 | 9 | |
The most obvious thing is your login stuff,have you tried bypassing
your sylogin and login files altogether,I would try that first and
then you can at least rule out your login files.
There has been a change in the way DECwindows starts applications in
V2.0,something to do with the session manager writing commands to
mailboxes,I'm not sure of the details but I am sure someone else with
more knowledge on the subject will give you more information.

| 2799.2 | Another suggestion | DECWIN::BROUILLETTE | Thu May 24 1990 10:11 | 7 | |
Yes, rename your login files. That is by far the #1 cause of this problem. Another suggestion is to enable accounting and look at the exit status of the processes. There is a lenghty note in this conference about how the session manager starts processes. | |||||
