Solaris11.4 - no X11

After some problems, I have installed Solaris 11.4. The warnings said
Code:
WARNING: /pci@0,0/.....
(xhci1): Connecting device on port 5 failed
WARNING: /pci@0,0/.....
(xhci1): Connecting device on port 6 failed

Preparing image for use
Unable to mount media
Requesting System Maintenance Mode
(See /lib/svc/share/README for more information)
Console login service(s) cannot run

The problem was that I had inserted the USB stick into a USB3 port. I instead used a USB2 port and could finally install Solaris 11.4. So for future reference, if anyone fails to install with these error messages, I have recorded the solution here.


Now I have a problem. I cannot get to X11. I see the splash screen, so I have graphics. But when I try to start X11, it does not work. How can I get X11 graphics?



After Solaris 11.4 installation, I added the desktop package:
Code:
# pkg install solaris-desktop

But still there is no X11. I reboot the PC, and see some error messages. Can anyone help me solve this problem? I have reinstalled the nvidia driver, I am using version 387.34 which is the one NVidia web site gave me.



I have a Supermicro X10SAT, E3-1245 cpu and a NVidia Geforce 1070Ti.


The error messages say:
Code:
WARNING: Signature verification of module /kernel/drv/amd64/nvidia failed
WARNING: Signature verification of module /kernel/drv/amd64/nvidia_modeset failed
Loading NVIDIA Kernel Mode Setting Driver for UNIX platforms 387.34

krtld: WARNING: Signature verification of module /kernel/drv/amd64/nvidia failed
krtld: WARNING: Signature verification of module /kernel/drv/amd64/nvidia_modeset failed
nvidia_modeset: Loading NVIDIA Kernel Mode Setting Driver for UNIX platforms

And then I try to do "svcadm enable gdm" and after that I do "startx" and see these error messages:
Code:

So are you publishing a solution here or do you still have a problem?

Hello!


Have you checked in /var/log/Xorg.0.log that the driver is loaded properly with all its modules? I would guess that this could be an issue. You could try loading X with Vesa instead to see if this is the case.


Good luck!

I've just had cause to install Solaris 11.4 x86 with GUI (solaris-desktop package) and it just worked (Gnome).

Are you installing on Sparc or x86?

Did you use the AI media or Text install media?
(I tried the AI media but had issues with it so success was with Text.)
