Some errors in the blogentry with instructions on how to install Xvnc on Solaris
Hi, I created my first Xen DomU running Solaris today using the instructions from this page Creating Solaris domU virtual disk images at OpenSolaris.org <http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/xen/How-To-07-2006/Solaris-domU/> and it works out of the box! That''s cool again! If you''re going to do the same (and I encourage you to do so!) be aware that it takes a long time to create the DomU. After I got the Solaris DomU running I installed Xvnc using the instructions from this page: Xvnc with Solaris on Xen <http://www.dme.org/log/2006/07/21/xvnc-with-solaris-on-xen/>. Note that there are some bugs on that page: To configure the dtlogin to use Xvnc I had to do the following steps instead of the steps 4 and 5 on the page: 1. Tell |dtlogin| to run |Xvnc| rather than the normal X server: # mkdir -p /etc/dt/config # cat >/etc/dt/config/Xservers <<EOF :0 Local local_uid@none root /opt/csw/bin/Xvnc :0 -geometry 1024x768 -depth 24 EOF # 2. If you''re running a rather new release of Solaris disable gdm-login or graphical-login if it''s running and enable dtlogin bash-3.00# svcs -a | grep gdm online 21:25:21 svc:/application/graphical-login/gdm:default bash-3.00# svcadm disable svc:/application/graphical-login/gdm:default bash-3.00# /usr/dt/bin/dtconfig -e 3. Restart |dtlogin|: # /etc/init.d/dtlogin stop # /etc/init.d/dtlogin start # After a couple of seconds, it''s worth checking that |Xvnc| is actually running: # ps -ef | grep Xvnc root 102525 102484 0 15:48:15 ? 0:00 /opt/csw/bin/Xvnc :0 -auth /var/dt/A:0-7Zavqg # Nevertheless I''m again impressed from Xen on Solaris ! regards Bernd -- Bernd Schemmer, Frankfurt am Main, Germany http://home.arcor.de/bnsmb/index.html Más temprano que tarde el mundio cambiará Fidel Castro
