Solaris

Ok now this one seems a bit weird-after getting all of this to work now, I have found I can only log in using the Java Desktop Session. CDE will not run over the remote Xnest session. Is this deliberate? I wanted to use CDE to use the Solaris Management Console on the host remotely, since I dont have another Sun machine to run it from.

I'm glad about your success!

Regarding to CDE, On the login windows should appear an "options" button, there, in "sessions" should appear the "Common Desktop Environment" option... (Note I'm using Solaris 9)
Regards.

Actually the problem is CDE not starting durring the session. After selecting Common Desktop Environment from the sessions menu and loging in, the screen goes black with the hourglass, then returns to the login screen. I have tried this with different user acounts, and I also tried with an account that does not exist to test and see the behavior of an incorrect login to see if maybe i was entering the login information incorrectly. The login screen does not disappear and it states in the window that it was an incorrect login.

Java Desktop functions just fine. Again if you wish to try out the system, you can use the fvallejo account from above.

Thanks!

I have seen that kind of behaviour before on remote X desktops, but can't remember how to fix it. One thing though, you can run SMC just fine from JDS.

Oh I didnt know the GUIs were compatible. I can jsut execute SMC like a normal application from JDS?

Thanks!
