回复: Cannot start CDE

Here it is, and I didn’t find the .Xsession-error file in my home directory.

Hello, I am trying to install CDE to have a look of it. After installing Xorg using pkg on 12.3-Release, I installed CDE through package, and follow the instructions on the pkg message:

This is ancient software that is ported for curiosity purposes. It is unlikely to be useful in everyday use, and should not be used in untrusted environments as there are highly likely to be unresolved security issues. It is also necessary to enable the Subprocess Control Service (and dtcms for the calendar to work). # sysrc rpcbind_enable=yes # sysrc dtcms_enable=yes # sysrc inetd_enable=yes # service rpcbind start && service dtcms start and Add the following line to /etc/inetd.conf: dtspc stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/dt/bin/dtspcd /usr/local/dt/bin/dtspcd and to /etc/services: dtspc 6112/tcp # CDE Subprocess Control Service To start the Common Desktop Environment, % ln -s /usr/local/dt/bin/Xsession ~/.Xsession % env LANG=C startx If you want to use dtlogin as well, you'll need to create /usr/local/etc/X11/Xwrapper.config and add this line: allowed_users=anybody
But it just started XDM, what’s wrong with it?
have you looked in /var/log/X*.log (don't have the precise name nor a FreeBSD system handy)?
Also, there may be a file ".xsession-error*" in your $HOME - check whether there's anything useful there.
