[Info-vax] 8.4 and DECwindows CDE login box not coming up

[Steven Schweda]

> GBLPAGES                  4800000      65536      10240         -1 Pagelets    D

   On my (seldom used) V8.4 system:

ALP2 $ gbl
   Global pages: 3442228, free: 3091104, contiguous: 3091072.
   Global sections: 1400, free: 511.

   Things are bigger on my main V8.3 system:

ALP2 $ gbl
   Global pages: 3442228, free: 3091104, contiguous: 3091072.
   Global sections: 1400, free: 511.

ALP $ sh sym gbl
  GBL == "@ SYS$MANAGER:GBL.COM"

ALP $ ty SYS$MANAGER:GBL.COM
$ G = F$GETSYI( "GBLPAGES")
$ GF = F$GETSYI( "FREE_GBLPAGES")
$ GC = F$GETSYI( "CONTIG_GBLPAGES")
$ WRITE  SYS$OUTPUT  -
   "   Global pages: ''g', free: ''gf', contiguous: ''gc'."
$ G = F$GETSYI( "GBLSECTIONS")
$ GF = F$GETSYI( "FREE_GBLSECTS")
$ WRITE  SYS$OUTPUT  -
   "   Global sections: ''g', free: ''gf'."
ALP $ 

   Also, around here in DECW$PRIVATE_SERVER_SETUP.COM:

$ decw$server_transports == "DECNET,LOCAL,TCPIP"

   Are you using an old one or something based on the newest
DECW$PRIVATE_SERVER_SETUP.TEMPLATE?

   Is the problem in the basic X server or
DECW$STARTLOGIN.EXE?  (Can you get something on the display
even if the login box is not there?)
