After doing an image-update to 98, I am running into many problems. 1st thing that I had noticed was the absence of 'Xserver' command which led to the 'gdm' not being started and all I had gotten was only command line. I fixed this by editing the custom.conf in the gdm directory to have 'Xorg' instead of 'Xserver'.
Next, I noticed that the 'screen lock' menu item missing. Digging, I found that though the pkg SUNWxwsvr is mentioned as installed, the binaries xscreensaver* were missing. I tried reinstalling SUNWxwsvr, but since 'slim_install' was dependent, I could not 'uninstall' first. Then hoping uninstalling slim_install will not crash the system, I went ahead and uninstalled slim_install and then SUNWxwsvr. All the while, whenever I did a 'pkg install' on any package, I got this error. (505)alcapone-3:~> pfexec pkg install -v SUNWxwsvr pkg: install failed: No other backtrace were available. pkg verify SUNWipkg succeeded (no message and 0 return code) I do see very little under /usr/X11/bin (509)alcapone-3:~> ls /usr/X11/bin amd64/ fbconsole* i386/ X@ x11perf* xcolor* xdpyinfo* Xephyr* Xorg* xpr* xscreensaver* xscreensaver-command* xscreensaver-demo* Xvfb* Xvnc* xwd* xwininfo* I have lot of data on my system, so, other than that of reinstalling, what are my options? Thanks. -Siva _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
