wjc@ho5cad.ATT.COM (Bill Carpenter) (02/22/89)
I have had little success so far getting MGR going. Since our news
feed seems to have been a little spotty the last few weeks, perhaps
these questions have been answered and I missed it:
1. Has anybody else had the problems described below? Were you able
to get it going? (If your answer is "just run set_colormap", then
either you had a different problem or I am too dense, since I have
tried that.)
2. How can I get a copy of the diffs to make this run on a SysV
machine? (I saw this mentioned in comp.windows.misc, but have been
unable to track them down.)
If you can help on either of these, please respond by email. If you
would like to know what I find out, mention that and I'll keep you in
mind.
Thanks

Even though I have applied these patches, I haven't been able to get
MGR up completely on my SUN3 running SunOS 4.0. I'm hoping you've
seen these symptoms before and there is an easy way to fix it. I have
tried making the "color" version and the "prod" version. Both failed
to come up, but differently:
color: Got the opening copyright screen (very attractive!), but
whenever I open a window, it hangs. Actually, the first window I open
flashes on the screen and then disappears completely. After that,
each window comes up on the screen as expected, but I never get
anything to happen (no shell prompt, no echoed CRs, nothing). "ps"
shows defunct processes, leading me to believe that the shell is dying
for some reason (I've tried both sh and ksh). If I run it with a
mgrc file, all the windows open up, but they just stare at me with
nothing going on in them. I can mouse back and forth, etc, with no
trouble. Just can't *do* anything.
prod: Fails with "can't find screen", even though I have done the
MAKEDEV for bwtwo0 (this is on a color SUN3).
I have attached part of the output from debugging with everything
turned on. The stuff at the end keeps repeating until I violated the
filesize ulimit.
Any clues? (Like, are other people having this problem?) BTW, I did
set MGR setUid root. Anything else need that just to get basic
windows cooking? My ptys are root 666 on both sides.
