[daip] Help with Aips

[b.d.moloney at student.ucc.ie]

Hello,
My name is Brian Moloney, I'm working with Denise Gabuzda in
Cork, Ireland. The reason I am writing is because I recently
came across a problem with AIPS and Cormac Reynolds from
JIVE told me to ask you guys. 

Recently I had to replace the motherboard on my computer,
and since then I have not been able to get the MSGSRV and TV
screen to come up when I execute AIPS. An error message
comes up when AIPS loads that states the following (I
included the whole lot, just in case):

[aips at caracal ~]$ aips
START_AIPS: Your initial AIPS printer is the 1300 PS NONE PS
laser jet
START_AIPS:  - system name AGN_Laserjet|HP, AIPS type hp

START_AIPS: User data area assignments:

   Disk 3 (3) is /home/aips/DATA/CARACAL_1
   Disk 4 (4) is /home/aips/DATA/CARACAL_3
   Disk 5 (5) is /home/aips/DATA/CARACAL_5
   Disk 6 (6) is /home/aips/DATA/CARACAL_2

   Tape 1 is DAT on caracal on CARACAL
   Tape 2 is REMOTE
   Tape 3 is REMOTE

Now, I have checked /etc/services and compared it to the
other computers in the lab (that work) and as far as I can
see it looks identical. Also, it was possible for Cormac to
log in from Jive and get the tv screen working remotely but
still nothing could get it to work on this computer. Have
you guys come across this problem before? I'm guessing that
it must be some local setting that is incorrect but I don't
know where to look (I'm really not too comfortable with
Linux, windows has completely corrupted me!).

It would be great if you guys had some ideas for what I
could do. Or if, by chance you have come across it before
and know what I should do, that would also be great.

Thanks for your time,
Brian
