The error you see could be the result of many, many things.

It would help to know a description of what you have and what are the system circumstances:

Did this configuration <i>ever</i> work properly, or are you trying this for the very first time?

What distribution of the OS did you install? [ Core, Developer, etc, etc ]

What Sun video adapter is installed to the system?

Are the correct framebuffer packages installed?

What settings do you have for the input-device and the output-device?

(you can run <u>printenv</u> from OBP or you can run <u>eeprom</u> from the OS)

You do have your Sun mouse plugged into the keyboard ?

and then you have your Sun keyboard directly connected to the system?

What keyboard and which mouse are you using?

What desktop? CDE or GNOME?

It sounds like a path issue? From the command line login add the following lines to end of /etc/profile

PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/openwin/bin:$PATH

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:/usr/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

export PATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH

OK, <i>Min2</i>, that's a beginning.

Are you the administrator, or is this the customer's system?

Have you tried the path modification suggested by <i>Error</i> ?

We still do not know the rest of the hardware config.

Can you successfully log in using command-line only?

That would rule out a bad keyboard, but would not rule out a bad mouse, and you need both before a GUI will work.You would need to wait for the next shutdown, to replace the mouse.

login into the command line as root

1. /etc/init.d/dtlogin stop

2 try cleaning up temp files in /usr/tmp/wscon*

3. /etc/init.d/dtlogin start

4. logout , then log back into dtlogin

if that does not work repeat the same process but before you log back out, remove the:

rm -r $HOME/userid/.dt*

.Xauthority

and logout and logback in

look in the bug database on Sunsolve.sun.com, if your can not find one then submit a ticket for the bug, after you have applied the recommended Solaris paches if possable.
