Hi all,
I'm new here, thanks for having me. My hobby is vintage Unix systems and this is the first Sparc system I've ever used, also the first time using Solaris. Need some advice, I've installed Solaris 10 over the serial console as I don't have a keyboard or mouse on my machine. After installing the system it all seems fine in the console but I cannot work out how to start X. I've tried 'startx' of course, but it says command not found. Any advice much appreciated, Thank you |

also - I have two different graphics adaptors and I've tried both, an xvr-500 (3dlabs wildcat) and xvr-300 (Radeon) I have tried both and re-installed Solaris both times without success. Still no Gnome desktop.

Hello, and welcome!
I haven't used (or touched) Solaris in decades, and don't recall anything about its X Windows environment at all. A quick Google search found this, which may help: https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...s-10-a-324502/ |

Or use a script like: Code:
#!/bin/sh trap '$HOME/.xinitrc; kill %1' USR1 ( trap '' USR1 exec /usr/X11R6/bin/X :0 ) & wait Quote:
That's because 11.4 only provides text installers (almost completely ditching anything related to desktop), but this didn't use to be the case up to 11.3, much less with SunOS 5.10.

Thanks all, I did solve this by getting a proper Sun keyboard. My GUI works now. It just wouldn't come up without the keyboard, it thought it was a headless server.
