Hello Everybody,

When I boot the system in QNX 6.2.1, shelf is not running. When I try to
run shelf manually, it give error like " Could not open widget database"
and exits

What could be the problem ? where can I find the widget database ? can I
copy the widget database from other QNX system ?

Any suggestions are helpful.

Thanking you

  1. Is this an embedded system? If so, you need to add the +raw attribute
    to the shelf binary in the build file.

  2. The binary may have been stripped by someone,
    try /usr/sbin/pkgctl -r /usr/photon/bin/shelf and see if
    that helps.

Regards.
