Infrastructure Software

Hi,

I have 3 or 3 Sun Servers (Solaris SPARC 10 update 8) that I administer. For one server, and as 1 users, I can't start gnome in VNC. I can start twm. Here is the error:


here is my startup script for aptest user:
#!/bin/sh

[ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid grey
vncconfig -iconic &
xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" &
gnome-session &

And this is the error I get:

Interestingly, on the same box, but as a different users, I can start gnome in vnc without issues.

There are still some error messages but Gnome itself works...


the ortest users's xstart up file:
#!/bin/sh

[ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid grey
vncconfig -iconic &
xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" &
gnome-session &

and the log from a successfully running gnome session on the same machine:
