3122.0. "Can't create DECterms ..." by BACHUS::VERCAMMEN (La VAX qui rit...) Tue Jul 24 1990 04:29


	Satellite uVAX/GPX from MI cluster trying to create a DECterm 
	from the Session managers applications menu produces the 
	following DECW$DECTERM_OUTPUT log file:

Can't open display
PTY exiting.
 
%NONAME-E-NOMSG, Message number 02DBC002

	The DECW$SERVER_0_error.log contains the following messages:

	What is this obscure PTY????
	What logical name match is missing????
	I already rebooted ...no luck...
	Other satellites have the same problem.

	Any hints,

	Thanks,

	Jan

3122.1Ignore the error message about LATSTAR::VATNEPeter Vatne, VMS DevelopmentTue Jul 24 1990 12:3111
The "SYSTEM-F-NOLOGNAM, no logical name match" error is the system status
returned with the "DECW-W-ATT_FAIL, failed to attach transport LAT" message.
It means that the server could not load the LAT transport for its use.

You may ingore the error message about not being able to load LAT, as the
LAT transport is not supported for use by the DECwindows server.  It was
a mistake that the server ever attempted to load the LAT transport.  This
will be fixed in a future major release of DECwindows.

Your real problem is why DECterm can't open it's display.  Someone else
will have to answer that question.
3122.2more information needed. please post in hannah::dectermDECWIN::WOODBURYWed Jul 25 1990 11:076
    Please define decw$decterm_output to point to a log file in your
    login.com, and post the results and this note in Hannah::decterm.
    
    Thanks,

"PTY exiting" really means "DECterm exiting".  PTY means pseudo terminal, but
I agree that the message isn't very meaningful.

"Can't open display" means that XOpenDisplay returned 0.  I wouldn't expect
you to get this error when you create local DECterms from the Session Manager;
it usually means that you need to SET DISPLAY/CREATE or add a node in the
Session Manager's Secuity menu.
