1757.0. "dxterm process goes away" by SUTRA::EOS (ingenieur illogique) Fri Nov 17 1989 11:29

HELP (I'm new to Ultrix and DECwindows)
System is a VAXstation II/GPX
I've just upgraded to Ultrix v3.1/ UWS 2.1
I copied .Xdefaults from /usr/skel/.Xdefaults
I've got no other applications running.
I can create a UE window, but not a terminal window - I get
a starting process "dxterm" then immediately an exit process
message.
I was running UWS 2.0 with no problems.
From /tmp/sm714.errs:

X Toolkit Warning: Cannot allocate colormap entry for "White"
X Toolkit Warning: Cannot allocate colormap entry for "Black"
X Toolkit Warning: Cannot allocate colormap entry for "wheat"
X Toolkit Warning: Cannot allocate colormap entry for "black"
X Protocol error detected by server: integer parameter out of range
  Failed request major op code 91 X_QueryColors
  Failed request minor op code 0 (if applicable)
  ResourceID 0x151f88 in failed request (if applicable)
  Serial number of failed request 52
  Current serial number in output stream 52


		any guesses?

Re: .0

I assume the /tmp/sm717.errs messages were for errors encountered by the
session manager rather than by dxterm.

I'm not sure why dxterm would be failing, especially since it worked for you
in UWS V2.0.  Did the size of your swap file change when you upgraded to
Ultrix V3.1?

Your rgb files are corrupt.

cd /usr/lib/X11
cp /dev/null rgb.dir
cp /dev/null rgb.pag
rgb <rgb.txt

reboot or kill/restart your server

    or your upgrade was not properly done.
    
    Read the UWS 2.1 release notes carefully.
