Problem Starting CDE
hi,

I have installed Solaris 10 from dvd. I have a 1.8GHz processor and 512mb RAM. When I start it, a message is displayed that Xserver cannot be initialised. Please tell me how to start computer in GUI mode, because it logs me into console mode.

Regards
Rochit

Code:
# /usr/dt/bin/dtconfig -e

That will enable it on startup. If you don't want to reboot, run

Code:
# /etc/init.d/dtlogin start

And then log out. You should have a GUI log in screen assuming you're at the console of the server.

Of course if you're trying this remotely, you'll need to export the desktop to your system and that's a whole different set of questions Smilie

if the xserver won't work, try using the xsun server. login as root on the console and run "kdmconfig" to configure the xserver/xsun settings....
