Motif

Motif V1.1 (RISC Only)

Motif Version 1.1 is available from the Remote Installation Service. The installation guide for this version is not available online. Once you are ready to proceed, See section How Do I Use the Remote Installation Service, and follow the instructions given there.

NB. If you installed the ULTRIX Operating System using the Remote Installation Service the Motif subsets may have been included. You may verify whether the Motif software has been installed by using the setld -i command.

Once the necessary software subsets have been installed you should copy the following file:

	   /usr/lib/DXM/clients/mwm/Xdefaults_motif

to .Xdefaults in your home directory. Then you should use the Customize/Window option of the session manager to select the correct window manager to be used. The following window manager should be started:

	   /usr/lib/DXM/clients/mwm/mwm

Do not forget to use the Customize/Save Current Settings option of the session manager to save this change. Log out and back in again and the Motif window manager will now be running.

Motif V1.1.3

Motif Version 1.1.3 for both RISC and VAX systems running ULTRIX Version 4.2 or higher can be obtained from the central Remote Installation Server (dxsoft). The installation guide (in either postscript or text format) can be copied from dxsoft via ftp. This version of Motif is considerably larger than version 1.1 and requires some preparation of the system so you are advised to read the installation guide carefully beforehand. Copy the guide as follows:

	   #ftp dxsoft
	   #Name (dxsoft.xxxxx): anonymous
	   #use your machine name as the password
	   #cd doc/motif
	   #get motif113_install.ps       (or .txt as required)
	   #quit

It should be noted that Motif Version 1.1.3 must be installed in the /usr partition. Once you are ready to proceed, See section How Do I Use the Remote Installation Service, for instructions.
