5965.0. "Iconic map and graphing" by QUABBI::"[email protected]" () Tue Apr 26 1994 12:10

Hi there,

a very ugly problem in iconic map.

I have installed the Framework 1.3 and Alarms & Noti... 1.3
on an Ultrix 4.3.
Sometimes ( more often than less ) if I activate e.g. a SNMP entity
( a host ) by double click and activate e.g. ICMP then -
I will provoke a hangup if I click Graph in the operations pulldown menu
afterwards. The Iconic map process takes about 80% of cpu and never returns.
There is no difference in behaviour if I lock or unlock the map before.

This is not always, but in more than 50% cases.

Any workaround - urgent problem.

Thanks, Maik

5965.1FYI - got the problemMUNDIS::MBACHMANNMAIK BACHMANN @MFRThu Apr 28 1994 13:0313
Hi there,

I got the problem - it is the window manager !!!!

I normally do NOT use the MWM when I use MWM it works.
When I use FVWM ( a pretty nice virtual wm ) it does mostly NOT work.

It seems to reside in a bad return code which has the consequence 
of and endless polling or something like this.

Feel free to test twm, tvtwm or any other window manager you like.

Ciao - Maik

FYI - got it !!


The problem is the window manager !!!!

I normally use the pretty nice FVWM ( a virtual WM like TVTWM ) -
if I use FVWM i get the hangup on differnt machines.

If I use MWM - all works fine.

FVWM seems to poll for a special event or anything similar.
Feel free to test other window managers.

Ciao - Maik
