Solaris 8 login GUI doesn't come up.
Hi experts,
I've installed Solaris 8 to Sunfire V480. After installation I only could login to the server using CLI command. Can you show me how to start the login GUI? I use standard SUN graphic monitor and keyboard.
Thanks in advanced.
VN

Is "dtlogin" running? Nearly every installation of Solaris I have done has enabled GUI login then I have had to go out of my way to disable it.

Looks for files called Xaccess and Xservers (or similar), normally in /usr/dt/config

Thank you for quick replies.
I tried:
/usr/dt/bin/dtconfig -e
/usr/dt/bin/dtconfig -D
I also checked for Xaccess and Xservers in /usr/dt/config and they were already there. But it still doesn't work. What can I do next?

Does Xservers have a line referring to ":0" ? That means the first screen connected to the system. Do the log files method anything starting and failing.

On my systems there is a message on the system console at startup saying the ":0" is starting up.

Can you point an X terminal at the machine?
