2405.0. "HUBwatch for SunOS V3.1 Field" by NETCAD::TRINDADE () Wed Jun 21 1995 10:05

I would like to share with you some issues that has been 
experienced by more than one person when trying to run or 
install HUBwatch for SunOS on a Sun platform.

Issue #1
--------

HUBwatch for SunOS V3.1 requires Motif 1.2. Motif 1.2 is a third 
party package that must be bought and installed on the Sun System prior
to installing HUBwatch.

Sun Direct does carry one of the better known Motif 1.2 packages. 
It's called IXI and I believe it sells for around $250.

Issue #2
--------

File .xinitrc (or .openwin-init) must be changed so that mwm 
(Motif Window Manager) is running instead of olwm, the Sun default
Window Manager. 

The point is to make sure that you are running mwm otherwise, HUBwatch
for SunOS will experience "funny" crashes.

Issue #3
--------

If the following error message displays on the xterm where hubwatch
was started:

"Warning: Can't load Codeset file 'C', using internal fallback"

This means that all the necessary X environment variables have not
been set. In particular XLIBDIR has not been set.

Set the environment vriable by doing the following:

    setenv XLIBDIR $MOTIFHOME/lib

Make sure that it is added to the appropriate file (.cshrc or .login).

2405.1	mouse button 3 locking up Sun	STROP::LAYLAND	Iligitami nil Carborundum	`Thu Jun 22 1995 15:03`	16
	Hi Sonia. I have a small problem with the mouse and Hubwatch for Sun 3.1. If I click MB3 on the hub front panel the system locks up. I am launching Hubwatch from an xterm. There are no errors when I start up windows, or Hubwatch. This is a demonstration kit for Network95 in the UK. I have 1/2 day left to find the fault or physically break MB3. Any answers Regards John Layland UK NBU 830-3552
2405.2	Workaround for MB3 lock-up	NETCAD::TRINDADE		`Fri Jun 23 1995 09:48`	15
	John, Place the following 2 entries in your .mwmrc file under the Buttons MwmButtonBindings section: <Btn3Down> app f.nop Ctrl<Btn3Down> app f.nop This will stop the system from locking-up on you when you press MB3 or <ctrl>MB3 on hubwatch's front panel. Good luck with Networks95 ! Sonia
