Display type: cgsix
What were you trying to do?
Get the Athena console to appear with user-specified X resources; log out
normally afterwards.
What's wrong:
Running config_console twice in rapid succession causes the console to die.
/var/athena/console.pid exists but references an invalid process ID. Logging
out with the Dash "Logout" button causes the X session to die, but dm does not
exit on its own. After up to 3 minutes, the server will restart itself. (On
8.1 Suns "Tickets destroyed." is displayed on the screen as a console message,
but dm still hangs.)
What should have happened:
The console window should have reappeared, if my X resources had indicated
this. Pressing the "Logout" button should log me out immediately.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
config_console(1); console(8)
