Hi
I have kind of a problem with my NS 3.3 it boot correctly, but after the boot it only displays an blank window with the cursor but no login window, and I can't use any application as the desktop is not able to run
is there any way I can fix this issue, please
any help will be welcome
Thanks
PS: all HW is working fine
Your HW is ok, but what is your HW ?
Did you try to boot in verbose mode, or single user mode to check the filesystem state ?
I got a turbo cube, all the output from the booting process looks Ok it pasess all the tests, and all the initial processess deifned in inetd, I also checked the HDs settings on fstab and no issues with the HDs
when i boot bsd- s (single user) i can access the comand line, i did run fsck to all file systems,
i had backup of the loginwindow.app, and i did a restoration of the app but it doesn't seems to work
Thanks
does the cube have a NeXTdimension installed in it? happened to me a few times: I booted the turbo dimension with only the MegaPixel Display attached. if the dimension is configured as the main display, I don't see anything on the MegaPixel because the login screen is displayed on the dimension...
yes, it does, I have a dimension but I did attached both screens and I have the same issue
:(
ok. then I would pull the dimension for testing. see what happens. if it's still not working: try to login to the cube using telnet. have a look at /private/adm/messages maybe it will reveal something... a successful boot looks like this ->

hi mikeboss
you are the man!! thanks
it just was a process that was taking too long to load, I had disable the process
I can login now, but I got a message which says Can't open NetInfo parent domain
not sure how to fix this, any ideas?
It sounds like your cube is trying to bind to a NetInfo server. To fix this, you need to login as root. Then run the /NextAdmin/HostManager.app. In the menu, choose "Local..." A panel will open, under NetInfo Binding, choose "Use local domain only" and reboot. I hope this helps.
