Starting Other Types of HP VUE Sessions

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

HP VUE Lite is a scaled-down version of HP VUE. It is useful for limited-memory system, or in situations where you do not need all the functionality of regular HP VUE.
A failsafe session provides a Terminal Emulator and Window Manager. 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 in your system console.

To run an HP VUE Lite session

To log in.

Select HP VUE Lite from the Options menu. (This is unnecessary if your previous session was an HP VUE lite session.)
Log in.




	NOTE: Your system may be configured to automatically run an HP VUE lite session. If this is the case, the HP VUE session option in the Options menu is inactive.

Figure 2-3 Use the Options menu to select HP VUE Lite.

To log out.

Choose the logout button on the Front Panel.
Or, choose Log out from the Workspace Menu.

Figure 2-4 Use the log out control (1) to end the HP VUE Lite session.

“Using Tools in HP VUE Lite” describes how to run applications in HP VUE Lite.

To log into and out of a fail-safe session

To log in.

Select Fail-safe from the Options menu.
Log in.

To log out.

Execute the exit command in the Terminal Emulator.

A fail-safe session is a simple session that starts the Workspace Manager and a single terminal window. It is useful when you need access to a single Terminal Emulator window to execute several commands before logging into an HP VUE session.

“To customize the fail-safe session”.

To suspend HP VUE using No Windows mode




	NOTE: Certain types of configurations (for example, X-terminals) do not provide a No Windows mode option.

To enter No Windows mode.

Choose No Windows from the Options menu. The login screen disappears and is replaced by a console prompt.
Supply your login and password as prompted.

To leave No Window mode.

Execute exit from a prompt.

No Windows mode is not an HP VUE session. When your system is in No Windows mode, HP VUE is suspended. You log in using your operating system mechanism, rather than Login Manager, and there are no windows because the X server is not running.
