1265.0. "TT_ERR_PTYPE_START Attempt to launch instance of ptype failed" by CSC32::K_MARTIN () Fri Mar 21 1997 12:30

Hello,

Have a customer getting this error message attempting to fire up fuse:


Error message:
Action: FUSE Tutorial [Error]
The request to service this action has failed for the following reason:
TT_ERR_PTYPE_START Attempt to launch instance of ptype failed.


Customer is running Digital Unix v3.2g with the following licenses installed:


           Product Name: FUSE-C-USER
           Product Name: CXXOSF
           Product Name: OSF-DEV
           Product Name: NET-APP-SUP-250
           Product Name: MMS-RT
           Product Name: OPEN3D
           Product Name: OSF-BASE
           Product Name: NET-APP-SUP-150
           Product Name: OSF-USR


Any hints from you fuse-type gurus?  I have not been able to find any info
on this product.

Thanks,

Keith.

	The error message that you are seeing is CDE-related and suggests that the user tried to start a program by double-clicking on an icon in the CDE File Manager. In this case it looks like they clicked on the FUSE Tutorial icon in the FUSE folder but that there was a problem of some sort. Although FUSE will probably work with CDE on 3.2g, I don't think that we can guarantee that it will, since CDE is itself not supported on that release (except as an SDK). If you could provide the version of FUSE being used, that would be helpful (I am going to guess that it is DEC FUSE V3.1, since that would be the only version of FUSE which has both Digital UNIX 3.2 support and CDE support.) There are a number of possible reasons for the failure, some of which could belong to FUSE, but most of which could belong to CDE (or which are user error). Have the user look at ~/.dt/errorlog to see if there are any other failures. Also make sure that the FUSE installation was clean (no errors either installing or integrating the CDE pieces.) Finally, I suggest that the user can work around the problem by either starting FUSE from a command line (/usr/bin/fuse) or by double clicking on the main FUSE icon in the FUSE application group. If they want to start the tutorial, then select "Training/Fuse Tutorial" from the FUSE Control Panel menubar.
