hello KenCunningham, the info in the passwd field is intact. whats funny is that after i've mucked around in the text-only , then log out and wait, i will come back the the window manager login, and when i log in my entire environment is normal,IE: /home directory, env variables, aliases ,etc...

hello KenCunningham, /etc/passwd looks normal with x in the password field. The shadow has the encrypted as expected. I can log in with my id and password, but seems like something kills the mount. thanks.

another tidbit (while i was trying to pursue Annihilannic or Mike042 suggestions, thank you both): after reboot, at the text login message, I logged in and it said: No directory! Logging in with home=/ does that clue anyone in as to when or where its breaking? Thanks....

follow-up: the 'ping of sunserver' problem WAS unrelated, and is now fixed. Unfortunately, the original problem: 'reboot now doesnt start window manager' still persists. Can someone pass on how I manually start a window manager from the command line? Thanks.

I left the machine running and came back a few hours later and the window manager was running. I logged in and the windows came up normally. Then I rebooted, and it stopped back at the text login, again. Did something have to time out?

hello annihilannic, there is no entry for /var/log/Xsun.0.log, but there are the others. svcs cde-login: offline 22:19:30 svc:/application/graphical-login/cde-login:default /var/dt/Xerrors: : (EE) Failed to load module "dri" (module does not exist, 0) : /var/log/Xorg.0.log: : (EE) Failed...

Hello all, The window manager just stopped starting at boot-up, and the only thing i did was to configure this new install for network access. How do i figure out what broke that caused the window manager to not start? I just installed Solaris 10 x86 and just (successfully) configured the...

hello cryptoadm, i guess i'm running too fast here... it didnt occur to me that OpenSolaris and Solaris10 were mutually exclusive. i'll retrace my steps (and try to work more slowly... [like that'll happen, :^) ]) cheers

sorry, but when this machine was used with the included WinXP, it auto-negotiated just fine. the info i got from the person who figured out how to set up solaris-10 with this ethernet drivers, didn't have to unset auto-negotiate (matter of fact didnt have a problem at all). doesnt make sense to...

hello dandan123: results from '#dladm show-dev' are- skge0 link:unknown speed:0 Mbps duplex:unknown It does not sound promising, eh? Thanks.

I've tried to let the existing DHCP config from the Win2K server to handle things by: touching /etc/dhcp.skge0 touching an empty /etc/hostname.skge0 deleting /etc/nodename and /etc/defaultdomain and now i have 'ifconfig -a' results: skge0...
