Peter:
There are some problems with build 130-132 with the "gdm" user not being setup properly. There are also similar issues that can happen depending on how you have updated your system. See here: http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=13437 You can fix this by making sure the following configuration files are set up properly. /etc/passwd should have this line: gdm:x:50:50:GDM Reserved UID:/var/lib/gdm: /etc/shadow should have this line: gdm:*LK*::::::: /etc/group should have this line: gdm::50: If these are not set up properly, you can fix the problem by making sure the files have the exact lines shown above. A few things you can try if this does not fix the problem: 1) After entering your username on the login screen, notice the panel on the bottom of the screen allows you to specify the session. Change this to "xterm", and enter your password. When the terminal comes up, then run this command: $ dbus-launch --exit-with-session gnome-session --debug This might highlight some errors or warnings that might explain the problem. 2) Try editing /etc/gdm/custom.conf so it has these lines: [debug] Enable=true Then reboot, and when the login screen shows up, make it hang. Then review the gdm-related debug output you should find at the end of your syslog file (/var/adm/messages), and see if there are any error or warning messages that might highlight what the problem could be. Let us know if this helps! Thanks, Brian
