Hi,

Do you have a graphical interface on your server ? If not, it is possibly that GDM is not started at boot time.

Could you check if you're running at initlevel 5 ? The line "initdefault" in /etc/inittab should start with 5.

Also, are you running under VMware of another virtualization solution ? If yes, maybe that the graphical interface was not installed/initialized during installation.

Regards,

Didier.

I can not see any error in /var/opt/SUNWut/log/messages. Looks like GDM is not running properly. I can see the Error message on Sun Ray Client that is 26B. Means unable to present GUI interface.

Subject: Re: [SunRay-Users] gdm-XKeepsCrashing: GDM can't start X server

Hello everyone from the list,

It's my first attempt to answer a question (read a lot to learn things

about the Sun Rays), so forgive me if I'm repeating another one.

I've just setup a CentOS 5.2 (x86_64) and ran into the same problem than

  Nadeem Ahmad : X keeps crashing.

The logs for gdm and the X server that it starts is in

/var/log/gdm/:xx.log, with "xx" being the display number started. Sun

Rays normally start at 10.

In my case, I had messages like this one :

/opt/SUNWut/lib/Xnewt: error while loading shared libraries:

libXfont.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

It seems that the default install of CentOS 5.3 does not install

libXfont, you can install it with a :

yum install libXfont

And that solved the problem for me.

Hope this helps,

Didier.

 Actually, with SRSS 4.1 we only use Sun's GDM with SLES 10, not with

 RHEL 5. The RHEL distro shipped a version of GDM that was sufficiently

 recent as to pick up the changes we pushed to the main branch to support

 dynamic display creation (I think the SLES version had that change as

 well but it had some other significant bug so we deemed it better to

 continue to use our own version in that environment).



 It is true however that we've only tested with and support RHEL 5 Update

 1, not Update 2.
