I have just upgraded to fixpack 2 on my SuSe 9 system and found that the
DISPLAY variable was NOT set in /etc/init.d/netnmrc .  Folowing the link
supplied by Drew gives the fix, except the article says that this will
be included in Fixpack 2.  I simply put the DISPLAY line at the top of
the netnmrc file.  Here's that link again:

_http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=658&context=SSGMPW&dc=DB550&uid=swg1IZ04210&loc=en_US&cs=UTF-8&lang=en&rss=ct658tivoli_
<http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=658&context=SSGMPW&dc=DB550&uid=swg1IZ04210&loc=en_US&cs=UTF-8&lang=en&rss=ct658tivoli>

I also found that it insisted I applied Fixpack 1 to the Web Console
before applying Fixpack2.

As James says, it writes to logfile in <NetView drive>:\temp so if your
console isn't installed on C: then you need to fix that too.  The error
code I was getting in the java window behind the web console was "bad
HTTP response code 503" - in case that helps anyone.

Cheers,
Jane
