Hi,
I'm trying to get CDE to run under VNC for solaris 8.
I've installed Sunfreeware binary of VNC.
as per instructions:
http://www.softpanorama.org/Xwindows/VNC/vnc_on_solaris.shtml
I've edited the /.vnc/xstartup script to call dtwm instead of the usual
twm, but every time i start vncserver, i just get the default xterm grey
screen.
changing /usr/dt/dtwm to /usr/dt/Xsession causes a weired screen. I get
an xterm screen with the CPU and Disk monitor that's usually on the CDE
panel appear in the top left hand corner of the screen.
I've googled around and others have had this problem and suggested it's
PATH or LD_LIBRARY_PATH problem.
I've tried adding a few paths to binaries and libs with no success.
One thing i've notice, vnc looks for a ~/.vnc/.Xresources file. I can't
find this file.
Below is a copy of my vnc "xstartup" file
#!/bin/sh
PATH=/usr/X/bin::/usr/dt/bin:/usr/openwin:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/dt/lib:/usr/openwin/lib:/usr/lib:
XAUTHORITY=//.Xauthority
export PATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH XAUTHORITY
[ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid grey
xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" &
/usr/dt/bin/dtwm &
Can somebody advise how to get vnc to run CDE?
Thanks
Dan
