9086.0. "cde not starting" by NETRIX::"[email protected]" (Ludwig Dallmeyr) Mon Mar 10 1997 10:39

Hi,

Have two systems in a dms environment:

DMU Server:

AServer 4100 4/400, DU 4.0a, FW Rev. v3.0, palcode 1.21.

DMU Client:

Decstation 3600, DU 4.0a environment, ZLX-M1 graphics card (PMAGC-AA),
FW Rev. v6.9.

Client is booting well, but cde is not startet.
Same error message like in note 8390 in digital_unix conference:

DMU Client (nntk14):
------------------

# more /var/X11/xdm/xdm-errors (also in /usr/var/dt/Xerrors)

xdm error (pid 6657): error 48 binding socket address 177

Fatal server error:
Failed to establish all listening sockets
xdm error (pid 915): server unexpectedly died
xdm error (pid 915): Server for display :0 can't be started, session disabled
#

Does somebody has a clue what is causing this error message ?
There was no solution in note 8390 and I haven't got enough 
knowledge about cde and X to figure out what is going on.
This note is also xposted in cde conference.

Please help me,

Ludwig.

Hi,

The cause for CDE not coming up was an empty 'Xserver.conf' file
at the client side. I don't know, why this file was empty, but after
copying a prototype to 'Xserver.conf' everything works fine and
CDE is starting.

Ciaou,

Ludwig.
