3390.0. "login box do not appear on SPX" by TAV02::GAN () Tue Sep 25 1990 12:26

One of our customers has cluster of 15 VS3100 booting
from 2 bootmembers. Some are SPX and the other are GPX.
VMS is 5.3-1.

On all GPX DECWindows starts OK. On the SPX DECWindows
starts, but the login box do NOT appear. If you login into
it and try to start DECWindows manually (DECW$STARTUP RESTART)
or even start the login box manually (MC DECW$STARTLOGIN)
it works OK.

Has anyone there seen this problem?

		Any help will be appreciated

    I don't know if this is a related problem but I had same problem with
    running Motif V1.1 on VS3100 SPX. The solution was to add a delay of
    ($wait 00:00:15) 15 seconds in the SYS$LOGIN:DECW$LOGIN.COM file.
    
    Give it a try.

3390.2Logname definition fails -> no login boxALEXWS::ALEXBugs are coming in triplets ...Wed Oct 10 1990 07:2228
	Some additional info to .0.

	I've narrowed down the problem to DECW$STARTAPPS.COM file, the last
several lines.


$ decw$startup_dev = F$trnlnm("decw$startup_device")
$ define/nolog decw$display 'decw$startup_dev'
$ !
$ !   Start the session off
$ !
$ RUN sys$system:decw$startlogin

	Now somehow define/log does not work. And decw$startlogin wants
decw$display logical defined in process table.

	I've tried to increase JTQUOTA, PAGEDYN, etc... but to no avail. The
funniest thing is from any VT connected one can do the last two commands and
login box will appear nicely.

	BTW, if DECW$IGNORE_DECNET is not define then the same problem appears
in the DECW$STARTUP just before "NCP SHOW EXEC CHAR".

	Any help?

You have to start going backwards.  What is the value of decw$startup_dev?
decw$startup_device?  Etc.  Or else what error message happens when you try
to define it, etc.

	Burns,

	The answer for the above is that both "decw$startup_dev" and
decw$startup_device are O.K. There is no error message for "Define" command, but
somehow the logical name is not beeing defined.

	Back to you,
