Java Desktop System, Release 2 - Error activating XKB configuration

Hi,
There is know problem with Java Desktop System, Release 2:
If you log in using accessibility features on the Java
Desktop System for the Solaris platform, the following
error dialog might appear: Error activating XKB configuration.
How can I solve this problem? Can I disable accessibility features (especially when I log in using NoMachine NX Client)?
Thanks,
Rafal

I have been trying to install Oracle version 10g on Sun Java Desktop System Release 2 (Linux) but unable to do so.Some error message?
Can I install Oracle on Sun Java Desktop System Release 2 (Linux)? How to do that?As far I know Sun JDS release 2 is based on SuSE so check Suse related installation papers.
You can find them on http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/linux/install/index.html
What version of Oracle ver 10g Release 1 should I download?Depends on architecture (CPU) and installed OS version (32bit, 64bit).

Error activating XKB configuration.
It can happen under various circumstances:
- a bug in libxklavier library
- a bug in X server (xkbcomp, xmodmap utilities)
- X server with incompatible libxkbfile implementation
X server version data:
The X.Org Foundation
10503000
If you report this situation as a bug, please include:
- The result of xprop -root | grep XKB
- The result of gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd
xprop -root | grep XKB
_XKB_RULES_NAMES_BACKUP(STRING) = "xorg", "pc105", "dvorak,us", "", "caps:swapescape"
_XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "xorg", "pc105", "dvorak,us", "", "caps:swapescape"
Or "evdev" if I enabled hotplugging
gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd
layouts = [dvorak,us]
model = pc104
options = [grp grp:toggle]
Doesn't matter if I use hotplugging or not (cuz even if I do away with xorg.conf, I still encounter this problem). I am stuck with the US layout, and unable to Ctrl-Alt-Backspace, or Ctrl-Alt-F1 etc.
Any suggestions?

I have the same problem, but that fix didn't help. I incorrectly get QWERTY in the login manager (slim) and the same error as allbluedream when logging into a Gnome session.

Java Desktop System Release 3 - Login problems

Hi all,
This is my first post here so apologies if I'm in the wrong area. I've recently installed Solaris 10 (5.10 Generic_118833-36) onto a V245. I wanted to see if I could get the gui desktop to work so I downloaded/installed Hummingbird Exceed on to my Windows XP workstation. Having launched Exceed XDMCP broadcast I could see my host in the list so I selected and clicked OK. I was instantly presented with the blue login shell, so good so far. In options, sessions I chose Java Desktop System release 3. When I tried to login as root the login shell just dies and disappears but If I use a non-root account it takes me all the way in to the desktop gui. The same thing happens if I use select CDE as the session type as well.
So my question is how do you login as root?
I gues it's a config file somehwere that needs a tweak but I've not been able to find anything helpful on Goolge so far.
Any help is most appreciated.
Thanks
Jon Barker

I just removed the locales using the same tool and I can log in now.
Does anyone have any idea why this is or the correct way to install extra locales ?
Thanks

Problem when starting up the Java Desktop System Release 3

Hi there,
I have used the Sun Solaris 10 x86 for while and I have found some problem that I don't know how to solve. So I am asking expert here for some help. Here is my error message:
<div class="pre"><pre>
Window 1:

Somethings, such as themes, sounds, or background settings may not work correctly.
The Settings Deamon restarted too many times.
GNOME will still try to restart the Settings Daemon next time you log in.
Window 2:
There was a problem registering the panel with the bonoboo - activation server.
The error code is: 3.
The panel now exit.
Wnidow 3:
Nautilus can't be used now, due to an unexpected error from Bonobo when attempting to register the file manager view server.
</pre></div>
The error messages show up sometimes but now all the time. Does anyone here have the solution for this? I'll appreciate every useful solutions. Thanks a lot!

How To make/configure Broadband connection in Sun java desktop system

Hi all,
I am using sun java desktop system Release 3 solaris 10 version in my sun ultra workstation. I have a problem with it. I can not make broadband connection , in it. so pls let me know how can i make broadband connection with my ADSL modem ?
Thanks
Partha

Try this:
Log into a termina as rootl. (Select failsafe terminal or command login)
To get the name of your network interface driver, type:
/usr/sbin/ifconfig -a You'll see something like this:
lo0: flags=2001000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4,VIRTUAL> mtu 8232 index 1
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000
hme0: flags=1000843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 2
inet 129.156.226.245 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 129.156.226.255
In my case it is hme0 so I create a file called /etc/dhcp.hme0:
touch /etc/dhcp.hme0If you want to set a hostname, put it in a file called /etc/hostname.hme0 for example:
rm /etc/hostname.hme0
echo myhostname > /etc/hostname.hme0Most broadband providers preconfigure ADSL modems to default to DHCP so if you do this, connect the ultra 10 to the broadband modem and reboot, the ultra 10 should pick up an IP address and be connected to the internet.

Black Screen with cursor. Java Desktop System.

Hello everyone.
I've installed Solaris 10 05/08 x86 32bit in VMWare Workstation 6.5.
After I logged in in the system (Java Desktop System, Release 3), I've got only a black screen with cursor, nothing more.

But the CDE starts normally.
What's the problem?
Help, please.

Can't use Java Desktop System

I've installed Solaris 10 u2 x86 and after having fought with setting up X for a month. I've now managed to get X to start on my 1920x1200 Dell monitor.
The problem is when I chose Java Desktop System, Release 3 as the session I just get kicked back to the login display.
Can someone tell me where I am supposed to look to see what's wrong?
I can login using CDE, but who want's to use that when JDS is around!
Martin

Since I stumbled onto the solution I'm sharing it here.
I logged into CDE and tried to get a web browser going, but nothing happened when clicked on the web browser icon.
Then I tried running mozilla from a terminal, but it complained about missing library libmlib.so.2. A quick search on google brought me back to these forums and a post saying "Missing libmlib.so.2 - GDM won't start".
I put the solaris 10 dvd into the cdrom and added the SUNWmlib package.
Now JDS is working

Where I can find and use "Java Desktop System Management Tools "

With Solaris 10, you not only get the Java Desktop System desktop environment, but also the Java Desktop System Management Tools and a selection of free and trial Development Tools, which are available for download only.
I found only an information about JDS release 2
but today it's release 3 already and it's said it already integrated in JDS
and above sentence it state that it already come with solaris 10?
where i can find that , where i can use it
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-7575/6mmsrpduj?a=view
this page said how to install but ...where I can find CD/
regards please help

Good question. It appears to have been installed with Solaris 11/06, as I have all of the packages listed here:
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-7575/6mmsrpdus?a=view
However, it does not appear in the Java Web Console. I tried adding it using the wcadmin command, but haven't managed to get it to run as per the docs. The documentation assumes that it is already installed and visible in the Java Web Console...
According to this documentation:
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-1985/6mhm8o5l6?a=view#gdjpi
An application for the Java Web Console should have a WEB-INF directory and an app.xml file. The apoc packages come with neither, so something is missing.

Issue: non-root access to Java Desktop System

Hello,
Rookie here. i have been using Solaris 10 with no problem and accessing the GUI thru the Java Desktop system with no problem. i created a new non-root user 'user1' on the system with all default parameters assigned to the user when doing 'useradd user1'. these default parameters assume a default home directory is assigned to the user, correct? i am able to access the system with 'user1' via console and remote, but i cannot access the GUI thru the Java Desktop system with this user. It accepts my credentials then it flashes a couple of times and sends me back to the welcome log-in screen.
Are there additional permission that i need to grant this user to access GUI via JDS? i'm able to do everything else as normal. Any help is appreciated.

doing 'useradd user1'. these default parameters assume a default home directory is assigned to the user, correct? i am Incorrect. man useradd paying attention to -d and -m. Solaris defaults to /export/home and will usually throw an error if you try to use /home as it's controlled by the automounter.
If it's just a test user account then userdel followed by useradd again.

Java Desktop System Login to Zone?

Hi all.
I have installed Solaris 10 (Kernel version: SunOS 5.10 Generic_137138-09) for i386. I have created a single non-global zone which runs happily and that non-global zone can be accessed with SSH remotely and locally by root. Zlogin also works for my zone. Additionally, the zone seems to be running an X server because if i "ssh -X myzone" I can run graphical applications in my zone (like xclock) from the Java Desktop System in my global zone.
Now, what I would like to do, if possible, is to login with the full Java Desktop System to my non-global zone. When presented with the graphical login screen on the console I choose "Options" then "Remote Login" then "Choose Host From List", I see my non-global zone on the list. So I then highlight my non-global zone and click "OK". I am returned to the login screen. But it still says "Welcome to <my global zone>", and when I logon I am still in the global zone. I also tried typing in the non-global zone name in Options -> Remote Login -> Enter Host Name, but still no luck.
So, what might I need to do to login with the Java Desktop System to my non-global zone?
Thanks in advance!!
John

Is there any particular reason why you did the minimum install? I perform an "Entire Distribution without OEM SUpport" installation, and select everything except the Documentation (since there is no documentation CD - go figure) and the Java Enterprise System (since I do not need to run those servers). I do install the Companion CD which contains a lot of the software.
When the installation is finished, the Java Desktop System is up and running, after tweaking XFree86, of course.
Unless you are **REALLY** hurting for disk space, you might as well install the entire distribution. They claim that you need 9 GB or so, but in reality I've been able to install it on a 4 GB hard drive.
As to where exactly it's located, I'm not sure because it's always been installed for me. If you can, reinstall with an Entire Distribution and the additional software selections that I mentioned. You'll have JDS.

Uninstall Java Desktop System?

Hi,
when browsing the docs (docs.sun.com, search for java desktop system), I've a tough time in finding how to unistall the java desktop system. Also, using the prodreg package manager, I only find some GNOME packages, but nothing about jds.
Can jds be removed (while preserving the CDE/KDE desktop managers)? If so, how?
Thanks in advance!
Cheers, Peter.

There's no 'official' method of uninstalling JDS that I know of.
You can get a list of all JDS packages using this command:
pkginfo -c JDS3 | awk '{print $2}'
Note that this list includes all packages delivered by the JDS team,
including things like Python, libpng and mozilla.
To uninstall all packages, you can feed that list into pkgrm (as root):
sed -e 's/ask/nocheck/' /var/sadm/install/admin/default > /tmp/admin
pkginfo -c JDS3 | awk '{print $2}' | xargs -n1 pkgrm -a /tmp/admin -n
rm /tmp/admin
This will uninstall all JDS packages without asking.
Or almost all... it won't uninstall StarOffice, to uninstall that too, run
pkgrm SUNWsogm
pkgrm SUNWsom

Do Java Desktop System partners also have to be open?

We depend on our application to generate revenue. If the Java Desktop System is all open source, does that mean I need to open source and give away my software? What's the benefit to me in that?

Great question! Although the Java Desktop System is based on open source software, there is no requirement that you will open source your software. You are free to charge for your application, and Sun will even help you (once your applications is "Java Desktop System Ready") to go to market.

How do I bundle with Java Desktop System?

My software is the best in class. How can I bundle it with the Java Desktop System?

Sun product managers see all the applications that successfully pass self-certification. Very few applications are bundled directly on the Java Desktop System, but certified apps can take advantage of a number of sales and co-marketing benefits: see http://sdc.sun.com/javadesktopsystem/

Who else is using Java Desktop System?

Is anyone buying this thing?

Yes, they are! For instance, the Government of China recently signed a deal which would make the Java Desktop System one of the most widely used desktops on the planet! That's a pretty large market for your application software.

Product homepage for Java Desktop System?

Where can I learn more about the product?

The product home page is a good source of detail on the Java Desktop System: sun.com/javadesktopsystem.
