Subject: Re: Ultrix 4.3 Installation and Performance Reports Wanted
Date: 9 Oct 92 22:38:11 GMT
Organization: Physics Dept., Brookhaven National Laboratory

I recently did a complete installation of Ultrix 4.3 on a DECstation 5000/200.
Initially, I attempted to upgrade from 4.2 but this left a slight problem - the
system no longer recognized my swap2 partition.  As this left me suspicious of
the integrity of the upgrade, I did a complete installation the next day.

Following the installation guide rigorously (though the process seems little
changed from 4.2) and spending most of the day listening to my TK50 grind, left
me with a working release of 4.3.  The Motif-based DECwindows interfase is
infinitely superior to the old DECwindows!!!  I have experienced no major
problems as yet (1 day later) BUT...

Minor (perhaps major) problem #1:

With the old server, Xtm2d (this is a PX machine with a 19" Trinitron monitor),
I NEVER had any problems with applications getting the colormap resources they
needed.  Now I find that if a program allocates a large number of colors (200+),
other applications are out of luck.  Is this  a problem with the Xserver
configuration or something more serious?  The server which is now installed is
Xws which appears to be the correct one for a PX machine from what the
documentation says (or doesn't).  I didn't install the TrueColor Server because
it was unclear what machines that is designed for... should I have installed it?

That would work if I could trust all of my users.  This works just fine on

Reply-To: paul@terra.ucsc.edu

I'm sorry if this has been asked a thousand times, but one of my
users sent me the following note, and a tar file containing another
version of rlogin:

ULTRIX V4.1 patches for rlogin to sun 
------------------------------------------

/usr/ucb/rlogin
---------------

This patch fixes the "rlogin to SUN"  hanging problem.  The problem was 
traced down to oob handing which removes data because an oob recv(2) 
call was returning with EWOULDBLOCK.  We thought, at first, select was 
not blocking but in fact we were blocking in a read after being called 
(via SIGURG signal) in oob().  This read would block forever waiting for 
out of band (oob) data which never seems to arrive. The problem seems to 
be in new XTI/OOB code added in V4.0 (we get an OOB signal but never see 
data arrive). 

TO INSTALL:  on VAX or RISC machine:

                # cd /usr/ucb
                # mv rlogin rlogin.org
        ** Now copy or tar the new patch rlogin into this directory.
                # chown root rlogin
                # chmod 4755 rlogin

------------------------------------------------------------

So, what is this?  Where did it come from, and does this problem still
exist in Ultrix 4.2A?

Is the Model 200 running the correct version of ULTRIX (V4.2A)?
Is the configuration built to support the HX.  I don't know if
the HX has a difference device driver (and configuration file
entry) from the CX, but it's worth comparing the two configuration
files to see if there are any unaccounted for differences.

Hmm.  When I used troff to print man pages to another system running the

too big, and the headers on the top overwrote each other.  Kinda depressing,
especially since our VAX 11/750 running BSD 4.3 works fine with this setup

Of course, I'm not sure if this was a macro problem, a troff problem,
or just one of those general Ultrix problems.

Try changing the order of the libraries in the link statement. This works for
me:

-lDXm -lMrm -lXm -lXt -lX11

Another one that got me was installing other software that overwrote the DXm
(and maybe other) libraries. Pulling the right libraries back off the kit
fixed it.

Hi,

I just downloaded the xcd tarfile from gatekeeper in an attempt to use my
RRD42 on a DE 5000/25 to play audio CD's.  I "tar x"'d the file to put the 
stuff in the appropriate places and tried running it.  "locate_cd" declared
that my CDROM was /dev/rrz4c and off I merrily went with "xcd -f /dev/rrz4c".
This called up the window but with a CD in the caddy, and in the unit, the
buttons would do nothing.  

I then proceeded to attempt to get the source code from gatekeeper, and it 
isn't there.  Not only that but then the tarfile itself had disappeared.

So my question is: has anybody any ideas why it won't work, when it's all DEC
stuff involved.  Also, is there a better version available now since it appears
the old one has been pulled.  xcdplayer available on gatekeeper is for SUN's
only, although I'm toying with the idea of hacking the code to work under
ULTRIX.

Any help/info would be greatly appreciated.

apparently  this  bug is gone in 4.2A. I  just installed 4.2A couple of
weeks ago, and there is no problem  when rlogin from SUN to DEC or
vice versa. Howerever , rsh works from  DEC  to SUN, but not SUN to
DEC. It keeps telling me that permision denied. I guess I did not
set up the security right on the DEC , but haven't figure out

Has anybody used this technic (host initiated connections) to dial out
with UUCP?

I tried with Wordblazer modem on the 200 series terminal server with
RTS/CTS turned on and CS8 but UUCP (stock Ultrix or Taylor 1.3) crashes
on in g protocol negotiations (bad checksums).
I admit kermit works - it uses 7-bit transmissions.

All and any help will be appreciated...

"exit" should do it.
