keep getting grey X window on solaris, changed session type but still getting grey window! HELP!!
hello, I'm trying to get dtsession to come up on solaris 8. I changed the session type on the vncserver script (have 3 machines running this way, only one is being a problem). The others work fine, but this one just won't get rid of the grey X 'twm' session. I've tried using pkgrm and removing the vnc package completely, erased .vnc and .Xauthority. When I reinstall the vnc package, I change the default session from 'twm' to the 'dtsession' in the vncserver script, but I keep getting the grey X window! What else can I do? I'm out of ideas to try.

logs and xstartup file from solaris vnc - can't get dtsession to start - still getting grey xwindow
hello, subject line says it all. I posted a previous message, basically I installed solaris and it ran a few times with the 'twm' as the desktop. I changed it to the 'dtsession' with the correct path, but it still shows grey xwindow. Now, it has the 2 purple folders that show when you first log into a CDE session. I can open and close them, browse through them, but it doesn't show the rest of the CDE desktop. Most of the desktop is still the grey Xwindow. I've attached the log files and a copy of the xstartup file. If you feel it's necessary, I can also attach the vncserver file I modified. I have the same one working on another solaris box and it works fine - but if that helps you to troubleshoot this, I'll be glad to do that.

vnc on solaris 8, can't get rid of grey x session
hello, I finally figured out how to make vnc work on solaris! (after lots of research and experimenting!) I installed the vnc from the companion CD (2/02) add the /opt/sfw/bin and /usr/openwin/bin to PATH, then modify vncserver script on /opt/sfw/bin; at the defaultXStartup section, change the last line 'twm' section to /usr/dt/bin/dtsession &\n I did this on a fresh install and it works! I had another box where i left the twm and ran vncserver sessions. Then I tried changing the vncserver script to be like above, but it still gives me the old grey X session. I tried removing the .vnc directory and making new password, but it still gives me grey X session. I'm guessing there must be some temp files somewhere (or something like that) that keeps the initial grey X session and keeps running that even after I changed the vncserver script. What can I do to clear this out so it works with dtsession instead of grey X session? I also cleared out the /tmp directory but no luck. killed all vncserver sessions and restarted - no luck. even rebooted - no luck. I think I'm pretty close to getting dtsession to come up instead of grey X session but I'm at a dead end. HELP!!
