I have a solaris v250 server. We dont have any Monitor/Keyboard. We were using this server from remote using PUTTY SSH.
I am new to solaris. If i am right, I can access the X window of my solaris from my remote system( Even though i dont have way to see X window by directly connecting the monitors). As like i connect to my windows server using Remote desktop connection.
Is it possible in solaris, Is the X window is already enabled in my server. How can i use it. my local machine is a windows machine. I will be accessing my remote solaris from my local windows.
I downloaded xming and installed it. I made enabled x11 in putty and the X launch was active in my system tray. But i am not getting any X window. Do i need to do some more configurations in my solaris system ?.
Given that you have a headless server, probably not. Solaris ships with two X servers - Xorg and Xsun with Xorg being the default nowadays. Check the date and contents of /var/log/Xorg.log.
Also, log in with putty, and echo $DISPLAY .. if the display variable is not set, then x11 forwarding is not set up properly. Double check your settings in putty, then make sure these are set in /etc/ssh/sshd_config (they are by default):
If $DISPLAY is set, then try running /usr/openwin/bin/xclock .. see if it appears on your machine. If it does, then try running /usr/dt/bin/dtlogin and see what happens.
If $DISPLAY is set, but xclock doesn't work, try disabling ipv6.
