Hi All,

Not sure if this is the correct place, but here goes,
Does anyone know if it is possible to get a CDE gui display from the Sun Netra or V120 server??

Thank everyone!!

I got that setting from the link I posted previously. I used root because It is just a test bed with no user accounts. You can assign it for user accounts also. check the link; besides that I really have not done much more work on it since I got it to work.

Thanks

If I recall you also have to have the location of xauth in the PATH for vncserver to start up, maybe that's what's missing?

Annihil,

I added all that to my PATH variable so it wasn't a PATH issue.

If it was a PATH issue then I would get error messages when I started it manually.

Not necessarily, the PATH set when you log in isn't usually the same as the PATH defined when 'rc' scripts are running. Are no errors whatsoever displayed on the console while the system is booting?

Perhaps try adding exec 1> /tmp/vncserver.startup 2>&1 to the beginning of the script to capture any errors, if they are scrolling past too quickly or something.

You were right it was a path problem.

The console was throwing up an error message which I didn't catch earlier. Is there a way to see the console messages after booting ? /var/adm/messages doesn't seem to capture the vncserver error message.

Anyway I added the path to xauth and Xvnc to my startup script and then it complained that the HOME variable wasn't set so I set it to / and now everything works without using the su - part .

Thanks Anhilic.

One more question, what is PATH set to and how is it set before you log in ? I checked /etc/profile but that doesn't have anything.

 

[Annihilannic]

It is set by the rc scripts, for example see /sbin/rc3, on about line 16.
