GUI not working... CLI is working fine
Hello,

I have X4500 running Solaris 10. I can access it through CLI but I cannot see the GUI. When I reboot it, the GUI works till all the files are loaded (ie., the initial boot sequence) and it prompts me to enter username and password and there it ends. The screen just has a blinking cursor and I can see no further.

Kindly, help me with this.
Thank you.

this will tell you which services are down and why, sometimes the GUI goes down because other services are down. check it

within your shell and as root, issue `/usr/dt/bin/dtlogin -daemon; exit`. if this brings up the login, we know there are no issues with the daemon. however, you will need to allow dtlogin to start even after reboot. issue `/usr/dt/bin/dtconfig -e` to allow login manager to start everytime. after issuing that command, you will need to reboot.

svcs is svc:/application/graphical-login/cde-login:default

check out man page - A. dtconfig(1) Man Page (Solaris Common Desktop Environment: Advanced User's and System Administrator's Guide) - Sun Microsystems
