3575.0. ""No logical name matched" after unpausing" by FRSTSC::ERLEMANN (Bedman strikes back) Fri Nov 02 1990 03:36

    Hi,
    
    configuration: V2000, VMS 5.2, RD54, 6MB standalone.
    
    After pausing the session, unpausing it and then trying to create a new
    DECterm, following error message pops up: "No logical name matched"
    which you have to acknowledge. You never will be able to create a new
    DECterm, only after logout and -in.
    
    What could that be?
    
    Thanks		Armin

    Six Megabytes?  I hope thats a typo.  If not, then the workstation is
    SERIOUSLY underpowered to run DECwindows.  DECwindows needs a lot of
    memory and DECterm does too (for things like maintaining scroll
    buffers).  Do a SHOW MEMORY before you pause and after, and you will
    probably see that you have depleted your pagefile when you enabled the
    pause screen.  In order to run in this configuration you will need a
    LARGE pagefile, large virtual page count, and you will run very slowly
    and thrash to disk a lot.
    
    I advise more memory.

    re: .1 Unless we suddenly changed policy, this is a supported
    configuration. How would you feel if sold a car and then told - "ha!
    you need to buy WHEELS before you can move...".
    
    In other words, there should be an answer that doesn't involve $$$
3575.3I'm looking into thisHANNAH::BAYJim CNF ENTP PPASEL DECtermWed Nov 07 1990 14:4111
    The trade-off is speed.  DECterm requires LOTS of virtual memory (over
    7000 pages just to start the controller in V3).  As long as there is
    virtual memory, it will run.  But there will obviously be a severe
    paging problem.
    
    You may be correct that this is supposed to be a supported
    configuration.  I will be investigating it, because if it IS, it should
    not be.  Perhaps it was possible at one time, but not anymore.

    Then the SPD had better change. As I recall, it stated 4mb for a
    standalone system and 6mb for a clustered ws.

3575.57000 pages for DECterm controller ? says whoHANNAH::OSMANsee HANNAH::IGLOO$:[OSMAN]ERIC.VT240Thu Nov 15 1990 15:179
The 7000 pages is what SHOW PROC/CONTINUOUS shows on vms for the DECterm
controller.

Is that 7000 private pages, or does that include n000 pages for xlib and
xtlib, and those n000 pages are perhaps SHARED with all other DECwindows
applications ?
