From: Gary Mills on 21 Apr 2008 12:48 I just did a Live Upgrade from Solaris 10 8/07 to 5/08 on an X4100. When I logged in for the first time to see my JDS3 desktop with Staroffice 8, the bottom bar showed a dtobsolete window. It was hidden behind one of my gnome-terminal windows. As well, one of my three performance meters was missing. When I brought the dtobsolete to the front, I saw that it announced that CDE will be removed. I wasn't even using CDE! The JDS3 desktop is our default. When I clicked on it to get rid of it, my third performance meter appeared. How can I get rid of this annoying, misleading, and obstructive thing? I want to do this for all users, not just for myself. -- -Gary Mills- -Unix Support- -U of M Academic Computing and Networking-

I would guess that one of your performance meters uses the CDE libraries and this is what is causing this message. Which performance meter is it? If I remember correctly, you can turn off the message by removing the executable bits on /usr/dt/lib/dtobsolete. -- Thanks, Matthew ---------- Matthew C.

Which performance meter is it? It's sdtperfmeter. I like to have three of them running to monitor three different remote hosts. As I recall, gnome-perfmeter wouldn't work that way, but maybe it's been fixed by now. >If I remember correctly, you can turn off the message by removing the >executable bits on /usr/dt/lib/dtobsolete. That's a good starting point. -- -Gary Mills- -Unix Support- -U of M Academic Computing and Networking-

I still use perfmeter (from openwindows) which I've saved away in my home directory and still use on nevada. I like monitoring tools which are small enough not to seriously perturb what they are monitoring ;-) For some reason, perfmeter always seems to run a horrible pink colour on Gnome, but I can live with that. -- Andrew Gabriel [email address is not usable -- followup in the newsgroup]

I remember running a screenful of perfmeters on a sparcstation 2 monitoring several servers. The RIP tombstone icon was an instant eye-catcher when there was trouble. |
