Instructions for IBM AIX Systems 04/11/94
|
||||
=================================
|
||||
|
||||
The following instructions assume you have already installed the Common Desktop
|
||||
Environment according to the Installation Instructions on the CD jacket. If
|
||||
CDE is used in a networked environment, all systems should be upgraded at the
|
||||
same time.
|
||||
|
||||
There are two ways to start the desktop:
|
||||
|
||||
* You can manually start the desktop Login Manager. This method can be used to
|
||||
avoid rebooting the system. See the section To Start and Stop the Desktop
|
||||
Manually .
|
||||
|
||||
* You can configure the system to start the desktop automatically upon reboot.
|
||||
See the section To Enable and Disable Desktop Auto-Start..
|
||||
|
||||
Before You Start the Desktop
|
||||
============================
|
||||
******************************************************************************
|
||||
If you have a previous Common Desktop Environment (CDE) version on the system:
|
||||
******************************************************************************
|
||||
|
||||
Advise all CDE users on the system to remove or rename their $HOME/.dt directory
|
||||
and their $HOME/.dtprofile. The new files are not compatible with the old
|
||||
ones. If users have customized the $HOME/.dt/dtwmrc file and want to keep
|
||||
it, they will need to cut and paste the appropriate pieces into the new dtwmrc
|
||||
file provided.
|
||||
|
||||
Become the root user on the system. Make sure all other users on the system
|
||||
are logged out of CDE. Kill the Login Manager.
|
||||
|
||||
cat /etc/opt/dt/Xpid (obtain Login Manager process_id)
|
||||
|
||||
kill -TERM <process_id>
|
||||
|
||||
Killing the Login Manager process works no matter how the process was started.
|
||||
An alternate method is to stop the system resource control for the desktop.
|
||||
This method should only be used if CDE was configured on the system with
|
||||
/opt/dt/bin/dtconfig -e. If you don't know how CDE was configured on the
|
||||
system, lssrc -s dtsrc will return the status of dtsrc. If no status
|
||||
is returned, use the kill method in the previous paragraph.
|
||||
|
||||
stopsrc -c -s dtsrc
|
||||
|
||||
Completely remove the /etc/opt and /opt directory structures from the system.
|
||||
The install script mentioned in the README should have already given you the
|
||||
chance to remove these. Remove the dtsrc subsystem only if CDE was configured
|
||||
on the system with /opt/dt/bin/dtconfig -e:
|
||||
|
||||
rmssys -s dtsrc
|
||||
|
||||
Default Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
The Instructions for IBM AIX Systems show basic installation information.
|
||||
We recommend following these instructions before doing any personal
|
||||
customization work except in the case of the Special Configurations.
|
||||
|
||||
Special Configurations
|
||||
|
||||
If your system has one of these special configurations, you may need to edit
|
||||
certain Login Manager files before starting the desktop. More detailed
|
||||
information is in the CDE Getting Started Guide.
|
||||
|
||||
* If the system console is a non-bitmap device (e.g. an ascii
|
||||
terminal)i, comment out the following line in /usr/dt/config/Xservers that
|
||||
starts the Xserver on the console.
|
||||
|
||||
# :0 Local local@console /path/X [options] :0
|
||||
|
||||
* If the system is an X terminal or a host for X terminals,
|
||||
CDE must be running on the host and X Display Manager Control Protocol
|
||||
(XDMCP) must be enabled for the X terminal and must direct the Xterminal to
|
||||
contact the Login Manager on a specified host.
|
||||
|
||||
* If the system has more than one display, see Configuring
|
||||
Multiple Displays in the CDE Getting Started Guide.
|
||||
|
||||
To Start and Stop the Desktop Manually
|
||||
--------------------------------------
|
||||
There are two manual methods to start the desktop:
|
||||
|
||||
* You can manually start the CDE Login Manager. To use this method, you must
|
||||
have permission to log in as root. This method is preferable, because Login
|
||||
Manager sets certain environment variables that are needed during desktop
|
||||
sessions. See the section Manually Starting and Stopping Login Manager.
|
||||
|
||||
* You can log in using conventional methods, and then manually run the
|
||||
CDE Session Manager, which starts a desktop session. See the section
|
||||
Manually Starting and Stopping Session Manager.
|
||||
|
||||
Manually Starting and Stopping Login Manager
|
||||
--------------------------------------------
|
||||
To manually start Login Manager:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Log in as root.
|
||||
|
||||
2. Enter:
|
||||
|
||||
/usr/dt/bin/dtlogin -daemon
|
||||
|
||||
This starts the Login Manager and displays the Login screen.
|
||||
Logging in starts a desktop session.
|
||||
|
||||
To manually stop Login Manager:
|
||||
|
||||
When you stop the Login Manager, you automatically kill all X servers and
|
||||
desktop sessions that it started.
|
||||
|
||||
1. In a terminal emulator window, log in as root.
|
||||
|
||||
2. Obtain the process id of the Login Manager by entering:
|
||||
|
||||
cat /var/dt/Xpid
|
||||
|
||||
3. Kill the Login Manager by entering:
|
||||
|
||||
kill -TERM <process_id>
|
||||
|
||||
where <process_id> is the value obtained from Xpid.
|
||||
|
||||
Manually Starting and Stopping Session Manager
|
||||
----------------------------------------------
|
||||
Using this method
|
||||
|
||||
* leaves you responsible for setting certain environment variables to values
|
||||
required by the desktop if suitable values are not already set in your
|
||||
environment.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
* allows you to use CDE while others serving from the same system, including
|
||||
the console are not.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Log in. (You do not need to log in as root).
|
||||
|
||||
2. With no window system running, from the command line enter:
|
||||
|
||||
/usr/bin/X11/xinit /usr/dt/bin/Xsession
|
||||
|
||||
HINT: if a .Xinitrc file is enabled, make sure it is NOT starting another
|
||||
window manager. Do NOT put the /usr/dt/bin/Xsession in your .profile!
|
||||
|
||||
Session Manager stops when you log out.
|
||||
|
||||
To Enable and Disable Desktop Auto-Start
|
||||
----------------------------------------
|
||||
AIX can be configured to start the CDE Desktop automatically when the system
|
||||
is booted. This method starts CDE as the Session Manager for all users on
|
||||
the system.
|
||||
|
||||
There are several ways to do this configuration:
|
||||
|
||||
* From a command line.
|
||||
|
||||
* Using SMIT menus.
|
||||
|
||||
* Using SMIT fastpath.
|
||||
|
||||
From a Command Line
|
||||
-------------------
|
||||
To Enable Desktop Auto-Start:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Log in as root.
|
||||
|
||||
2. From the command line, enter:
|
||||
|
||||
/usr/dt/bin/dtconfig -e
|
||||
|
||||
3. Reboot the machine.
|
||||
|
||||
When the system is rebooted, a dtlogin screen will appear. If you prefer not
|
||||
to reboot at this time, this command will start the Login Manager now.
|
||||
|
||||
startsrc -s dtsrc
|
||||
|
||||
To Disable Desktop Auto-Start:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Log in as root.

|
||||
/usr/dt/bin/dtconfig -d
|
||||
|
||||
3. Reboot the machine.
|
||||
|
||||
When the system is rebooted, CDE is no longer configured. If you prefer not
|
||||
to reboot at this time, this command will stop the Login Manager now.
|
||||
|
||||
stopsrc -c -s dtsrc
|
||||
|
