Starting Optional Types of HP VUE Sessions

In addition to the regular HP VUE session, HP VUE provides these other types of sessions:

HP VUE Lite is a scaled-down version of HP VUE. It is useful for limited-memory systems, or in situations where you do not need all the functionality of regular HP VUE. Starting an HP VUE Lite session is described in “Logging in with HP VUE”.
A session in a different language lets you use HP VUE in a language other than English.
A failsafe session provides a terminal window. It is useful for performing configuration tasks before logging into another HP VUE session.
No Windows mode lets you temporarily leave HP VUE to work outside the HP VUE environment.
Figure 2-11 HP VUE provides optional session types.

Using A Session in A Different Language

The default language for your system is set by your system administrator. The Options menu lets you access other languages. Choosing a language in the Options menu sets the LANG environment variable for your session. The default language is restored at the end of the session.

Select the language using the menu displayed from Language in the Options menu on the Login Screen.
Type your user name and password when prompted to do so. See “Logging in with HP VUE” for more information.

Logging Into and Out of a Failsafe Session

A failsafe session is a simple session that starts the Workspace Manager and a single terminal window. It provides a way to correct improper HP VUE sessions caused by errors in the login and session configuration files. As such, it is probably something that you will seldom use.

Logging In.

Select "Failsafe" from the Options menu.
Type your user name and password when prompted to do so. See “Logging in with HP VUE” for more information on logging in.

Logging Out. Type exit in the terminal window and press Enter.

Suspending HP VUE Using No Windows Mode

No Windows mode is not an HP VUE session. When your system is in No Windows mode, HP VUE is suspended, and you must type all commands. You log in from the operating system login prompt, rather than HP VUE's Login Manager.




	NOTE: Certain types of configurations do not provide a No Windows mode option.

Entering No Windows Mode.

Choose "No Windows" from the Options menu. The login screen disappears and is replaced by an operating system prompt, typically a $ or a >.
Type your user name and password when prompted to do so. See “Logging In and Out of HP-UX” for more information on logging in at the command line.

Leaving No Windows Mode. Type exit at the prompt, and press Enter.
