Hi
I am new to Solaris and have just installed my 1st server but would like to know how to get into the X Windows enviroment. Could someone please give me some pointers.
Thanks
Ok Im no expert - but what version of Solaris? are you at least able to log in as root?
Are you using it with a local mouse/keyboard/display or are you connecting remotely with another workstation or pc with exceed or something similar?
I am using V10 of Solaris.
I am using a local/mouse/keyboard. I have tried using xstart but no joy.
Is this on a SUN server or a p.c. (Solaris versus Solaris x86)?
If you are on a SUN server, then what type of server did you install?
Normally it should start CDE (Common Desktop Environment) on boot - do you get a signin screen after boot or a login prompt? To change from CDE to Xwindows from the signin screen, there should be a drop down menu there (although I thought Xwindows was support was suppose to be dropped at some point - maybe that was OpenWindows - not sure).
I'm not sure about x86 since I haven't played with it in some time.
Thanks for your help, problem is now solved. I have reinstalled and system working ok.
