[HECnet] Tru64 question - solved

[H Vlems]

Apparently something was wrong with the configuration file for cde.
So I did a find / -name Xconfig 
and that pointed me to /usr/dt/config/Xconfig, which in turn is a link to
/usr/var/dt/Xconfig.
The file contents told me not to modify that file, which probably happened.
So I copied it to /etc/dt/config, rebooted and all was well.
Why it went worng in the first place, no idea at all...

Quite right, Hans. Finland is at UTC+2.

Well, have to test myself. It's so long a time since I've been working
with Tru64 that I've forgotten many details. It's late now so I have to
test tomorrow.

The session options give me Failsafe and another one (name forgotten),
but that last one was selected.
I end up in a single xterm window whether logged on as root or as hans,
makes no difference.

There is probably the last used desktop selection "xterm".
Try to select from the session options the CDE desktop before you log in.

Logging in on the console of a Tru64 V5.0 machine
I ended up in an xterm terminal and nothing else.
The usual "new DECwindows" desktop was gone.
Any ideas where to look for a fix?
The system is an AlphaServer 800 that had been power
off for a year now.
