- System: SPARC 2, 32MB, SunOS 4.1.2, OpenWindows 3.0, Patch 100075-8
- (rpc.lockd jumbo patch)
-
- SunPC will not start up on this system, it gets to the point of asking
- the (one-time) question about internationalisation preferences, and then
- hangs. It is expecting input from the keyboard (a number or just a CR),
- but nothing will get it to respond. The curious thing is that I tried
- firing it up remotely from a SPARC 10 running SunOS 4.1.3 (i.e. running
- on the SS2 having set the DISPLAY variable to the S10), and it did
- work. Thus I suspect a problem with the OW 3.0 server (it is possible
- that the OW3.0 on the SS2 is older than the OW3.0 on the S10).
-
- Whether it hangs or not (i.e. even when I got it to work remotely from
- the SPARC 10), the following messages appear in the window
- from which sunpc was invoked:
- error doing kbs I_PUSH: Invalid argument
- error doing mss I_PUSH: Invalid argument
-
- I installed the lockd jumbo patch since that is what the Installation
- Guide suggests as a possible cause of a window freeze, but nothing
- changed after the reboot.
-
- Any ideas anybody?
-
- Thanks
