Problems and Solutions

Problem: inetd

The inetd invoked kernel takes a long time to come up.

Solution:

The user interface or vts_cmd call can return prematurely. You can reset it by determining the pid (process id) of the inetd process and sending a HUP signal to it. To do this, type:

# ps _ale:grep inetd
# kill -HUP <pid>

Problem: Device Probe Failure

A device probe failed due to a problem in the device. If this occurs, information about the failed device is displayed on the command line.

Solution:

Fix or disconnect the failed device, reboot (boot -r), and start SunVTS again.

Problem: TT Session Unavailable

If OPEN LOOK software is not installed, the TT (ToolTalk) session is not available to the SunVTS kernel. In this case, the SunVTS kernel is running but is not accessible.

Solution:

Install the OPEN LOOK software and start SunVTS again.

Problem: SunVTS kernel Not Responding

If the SunVTS kernel is not running when vtsui is invoked, the user interface starts and indicates that the host name SunVTS kernel is not responding.

Solution:

Start the SunVTS kernel on the <host> system using the procedure described in "Starting the SunVTS Kernel and Interface Separately". Select "Connect to" from the user interface to reconnect.
