I am trying to load OpenSolaris using the 2009.06 - Live CD. I am using the Sun Microsystem produced cdrom. I have several copies that I have tried but I get the same results. I have downloaded, read and followed the installation instructions. Particularly the "Tips on Troubleshooting an OpenSolaris Startup", which describe the procedures to follow if the Live CD boots the system in the console mode.
After setting up a second networked system and starting the boot process described in the installation guide and run the GUI installer, I get the following error messages displayed on the remote system: jack at opensolaris:~# cd /bin jack at opensolaris:/bin# ./gui-install Xlib: extension "RANDR" missing on display "localhost:10.1". Xlib: extension "RANDR" missing on display "localhost:10.1". Xlib: extension "RANDR" missing on display "localhost:10.1". The program 'gui-install' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadIDChoice (invalid resource ID chosen for this connection)'. (Details: serial 506 error_code 14 request_code 131 minor_code 5) (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.) jack at opensolaris:/bin# I have checked assorted FAQs and this problem seems to be an X lib problem related to remote displays. The problem has been noted, but I am unable to find a fix I can use. After the error message finishes the Xwindow shuts down. Is there some way I can get around this problem? I would appreciate any help you can give. Thanks, Kenn
