Error can't open display after reboot
Hi,
I encounter this problem :
I just install SSGD 4.2 on Solaris 10 01/06 T2000 server. After installation I can connect to the SSGD using browser from my notebook, and can try the various demo (dtterm, xclock etc)
I reboot the Solaris 10 OS.
After reboot I tried to login again via browser in my notebook and try to run the various demo.
I can login, but almost all the demo failed to execute, the X applications give error "can't open display:" with no hostname following the error.
The only demo still runs is the vt420 demo
Anybody can help me to point out what causes the problem ? I am trying to demo this SSGD software to a customer.
Regards
Adrianus B. Kurnadi

Hi Zeev,
Thanks for your suggestion, it works. I actually have another working workaround from one of my colleagues.
He ask me to change the permission of /tmp/.X11-unix from 775 to 777 which also solve the problem. But I notice that after I restart the Solaris, the permission is back to 775.
In your solution I check that the problem doesn't appear althouth the permission is 775.
I tried to check the startup script but found nothing unusual.

I've noticed this as well, under Solaris 10 FCS, Solaris 10 U1, and Solaris Express nv_39.
However, I have tried it out under S8 02/04, and S9 09/04 and I do not have this problem after rebooting the host at all.
For the hell of it, I (rather badly) converted the S89/S90 startup scripts to be SMF manifests with S90Tarantella having a dependancy on tS89TarantellaWebServer as I thought perhaps there was a strange issue with the tta process starting before the web service had fully started (beats me why it would matter, ends up it didn't) - as my test S10 host is a slow Netra T1.
I'd be interested to know what the difference is between it being started up via an rc2.d script and the root user logging into the system console running /opt/tarantella/bin/tarantella start. I haven't even bothered starting to try to observe the environment differences between startup via SMF in S10 and init.d in S8.
