JDS and CDE login loop

I performed a fresh install of Solaris 10 on a Sun Enterprise 250. When I go to login to JDS or CDE, it continually loops back to the login screen. I can login through the command line though. I checked /var/dt/Xerrors and didn't see any messages related to the problem. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I just did a fresh install, and JDS and CDE seem to work fine until I install Java System Directory. Once I install that, I can no longer login through the GUI, but command line still works. Any ideas?

  • Login loop and Blue Screen

    The system booted to a blue screen yesterday. Booted to leopard install disk and ran DiskUtil. Everything was OK. Ran repair permissions, OK too. Found a possible fix from Apple- MAC 101 Lesson 2: Startup Setbacks. Moved the com.apple.loginwindow.plist and the com.apple.windowserver.plist from /Library/Preferences. Rebooted and the login window appeared instead of the blue screen. Type in my password, the system went to a blue screen and back to the login screen. Changed the password from the Install disk. Typed the original password and the login screen "shook". Typed the new password and the system went to a blue screen and back to the login screen. Any ideas, other than reinstall the OS? From the command line,
    drwxr-xr-x@ 11 root wheel 374 Nov 6 20:29 /usr
    drwxr-xr-x@ 11 501 admin 374 Nov 6 20:29 /Users/me
    It seems that the system doesn't know that 501 and "me" are the same person. In UNIX the /etc/passwd file enter would need to be changed to poit "me" to 501. Does anyone know how to correct this?

    If it happens again...
    Son was using the computer and I believe that his time ran out. He called me and when I looked at the computer, there was a blue screen with the mouse. The only thing that I could do is reboot, so I turned off the computer using the power button, turned it back on, and still, nice blue background and the mouse. I could not log in as anyone else.
    What I had to do is turn off the computer and pull the plug. When I booted up again, I see that his account has reached it's daily max. Now I have to turn off the parental controls unless I want to continue to play tech support, THE one thing the iMAC was supposed to address.

  • Login "Loop" issue after upgrading to Leopard from Tiger-iBook G4

    Hi Guys,
    I've the same login "loop" issue as described in *Apple KB article #306965* only on an iBook G4, unfortunately the solution offered in the KB article does not help.
    There is one slight variant being that the user desktop appears for a second or two after the blue screen following login before it returns (loops) to the login window. It happens on all (2) user accounts.
    The interesting thing is it doesn't occur on either account when booting in 'safe mode'.
    Apart from deleting these accounts and saving/transferring the data are there any other ideas, suggestions or solutions?
    Regards,
    BB

    Did a clean install, cloned the HD with SuperDuper and then used Mig. Asst. to restore data back to the original HD. All now OK.
    A & I was done in the initial upgrade from Tiger.

  • Lion 10.7.4 upgrade caused login loop

    I upgraded my 2008 MacBook Pro [Intel processor, 4 GB RAM, 250GB HDD to the latest security release for Lion two days ago.  I now have a vexing problem.  After typing the login password at the login screen OS X Lion 10.7.4 tries to log me in but then returns to the login screen.  I've checked login loop problems in earlier OS versions with no resolution.  They all indicate that it is something similar but unfixable.  This also happens with the "root" uid.  As an old UNIX hand I would be suprised if there were not some way to fix this problem.  Can anyone help, please?!

    Hi, I just came across the same problem. After investigating I kept it simple and did a re-install. That worked for me just fine. Otherwise you need to try what others wrote, look at the right coloumn "More like this". Good luck.

  • In case someone has a login loop with Mac Lion

    Yesterday I had a login loop on my Mac Lion. I spent about 10 hours reading forums and interpretating the system logs, but nothing. Tried to log-in, then grey screen for a second, then back to the log-in screen.
    So, in this scenario I managed to have it up and running again
    The solution was to go to the recovery mode, that is after starting the MAC press CMD+R. There open a terminal and type resetpassword. A program will pop-up. There you have to activate the root account giving it a password.
    After it, you have to let the Mac think you are missing the last step of the installation, following this guide http://www.hackmac.org/hacks/how-to-create-a-new-administrator-account/
    Now, it's like you are brought to the very last step of a typical installation. Create an account and do whatever you want included to set (via the root user you activated before) the other login as automatic.
    The key is to make one login automatic, maybe the old one to which you could not access.
    Hope this will help someone!
    p.s. this, obviously, shows how insecure a Mac is, I must sadly admit. Basically everyone can hack every account, even not knowing the password… or maybe I am wrong?

    Good tip!

    This is not only mac - basically full physical access = full access.
    You wouldn't be able to open file vaults though.

  • CDE Login

    New installation of Solaris 10. Root can login to the console using CDE no problems. When any other user tries they just get returned back to the CDE login screen. Users were added using the Solaris Management Console. There must be a setting somewhere that restricts console logins?
    Thanks.

    Accounts created in SMC without using any templates will
    'helpfully' have their home directories created in /export/home,
    then marked to be NFS automounted to /home on demand.
    Check whether this is the case and, if so, that all your NFS services are
    up.

    The utxsun script should be executed by the X Display Manager, which on Solaris 10 is dtlogin. So check that dtlogin is running. If it isn't, start it by doing svcadm enable cde-login.
    If dtlogin is running and you still don't get past 26D then look in dlogin's error log file, /var/dt/Xerrors, for clues. Also examine SRSS's main log file, /var/opt/SUWNut/log/messages, for information about how SRSS itself is handling these sessions.

  • NBC Olympics Live Extra login loop.

    When trying to watch the NBC Olympics streaming I get stuck in a Login loop. You are asked to sign in to your provider which in my case is Dish and I enter my information and it goes away and then comes right back asking my provider again over and over. It works fine in IE and and Chrome and I have gotten it to work in Firefox only once but it quit working. When it did work it was MUCH better in Firefox (faster and smoother). I've tried reinstalling firefox, clearing history, reinstalling flash, clearing flash cache, tried without any addons in firefox all to no avail. I'm currently using the latest verison 14.0.1. Any ideas would be great as I much prefer Firefox to the other options.

    Done all that, that is always the first thing I try when a site is acting screwy. :(

  • Login loop - Apple fixes don't work - HELP!

    My iMac 20" (Core Duo) which had been running fine under 10.5.3 has suddenly died.
    When I power it up, I get the login window, with my users. Logon as a user, it goes to blue screen, then goes back to the login window.
    I've tried the solutions in Apple's note on recovering from the login loop after upgrading to Leopard (although my computer has been working fine after upgrading to Leopard the day after the new OS was released). Nothing works.
    I am unable to force it to boot from the Install DVD - holding down 'C', 'option', or 'cmd-shift-alt-delete' are not effective in getting the iMac to boot from DVD.
    I am unable to enter into safe or verbose mode at login using either cmd-S or cmd-V. Either combination simply gets me eventually to the login window, where the loop starts.
    Zapping PRAM did not make any difference. In fact, I did not get the usual double-chime at all.
    I was finally able to get a terminal prompt by entering ">console" as the 'other' user at login. Once there, I attempted to carry out the steps in Apple's note. However, while I am in the console mode, there is a constant stream of error messages, even as I type. By ignoring the error messages and typing, I was able to login and enter my password. I was also able to execute 'mount -uw' (without a / at the end) per Apple's note, and thereafter keyed in the launchctl and ls commands as listed in Apple's note.
    However, when I key in the 'dscl....' command as listed in Apple's note, I get stuck. Error messages continue to scroll on the screen, but I do not get a further console prompt.
    Seems like my iMac is hosed. Any suggestions/solutions? It's still under AppleCare so I can bring it back to Apple, but I'd like to try and solve it myself so I can safeguard the data on my harddisk.

    Phew, being able to login to the other user account on the Mac was the solution. Once I managed to login to that account (had forgotten my wife's account password), I did an Archive & Install of Leopard, per this Apple support document: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1413?viewlocale=en_US
    The funny thing is that the Apple document was to remedy a login loop after installing Leopard on an aluminium iMac, whereas mine is the older iMac 20" Core Duo (bought in March 2007). It had been running fine after installing 10.5.3, and I really have no idea what triggered this sudden failure.
    Anyway, working fine now.

  • 10.5.3 - Login Loop after update

    Hello,
    after upgrading from 10.5.2 to 10.5.3, which ended with an error, which I unfortunately clicked away, I am stuck in a login loop. Login name and password are apparently accepted, but after a blue screen appears for a few seconds, the login window reappears instead of my desktop.
    Article: 306965 seems to address the problem, but it is rather old and meant for the iMac.
    Thanks,
    Thomas

    Do you have a backup (clone?) from before you did the install? If so, then you should be able to restore from the clone. If not, make sure that you do in the future. Cloned systems make life relatively easy!
    Failing that, try booting off your install CD and enable the root (admin) user. Then download the combo update (the 500+ MB one) and rerun the install of 10.5.3
    Cheers,
    Rodney

  • No CDE login found

    My setup is
    Compaq E700 Armada notebook
    P3 500 MHz
    After booting up successfully, I cannot get the CDE login menu (username/password).
    What I get is a black screen with the Solaris logo
    plastered!
    I'll tell you right now, my video card is not on the
    hcl list. is this the source of my problem?
    thanks for you help.

    Hi,
    I would follow Yogesh's suggestion to run the query in RSRT under debug mode to find out whats happening. Might be an authorization issue even if you are not getting an authorization message.
    Also run the query in debug mode under RSRT for the id its working.
    Try to delete the cache. Try to delete the cookies if you are executing the report in the web.
    Try to copy your id to a test id and then execute using the test id. See if that works.

  • Login loop while buying an app

    I'm trying to buy an app on my iPad, and I'm getting stuck in an infinite login loop.
    What happens is:
    I go to buy the app (in this case it's Air Display), I hit the "buy app" button,
    I sign in (as the usual protocol)
    It goes to the home screen, and then a popup says "Verification Required: Before you can make purchases, you must tap Continue to sign in, then verify your payment info."
    I hit "continue," a small box appears, and prompts me to log in AGAIN, I hit OK, and the login box keeps re-appearing asking me to log in.
    So what's up with this? This is obnoxious. I verified my payment info on my mac on the iTunes account info page so I know that's out of the way.

    Open iTunes on your PC, navigate to Store Home page - Use quick links to go to your Account.  Log in.  Verify payment info and email is correct.  Then check that youu have updated your Security info page (3 questions required etc)
    Then check that your device is registered under Authorised devices.
    You say you have no restrictions on - Does this mean that you have Restriction On but nothing set - or that restrictions itself is off.
    If it is on, then you will need to set the apprpriate content restriction information for purchasing and playback of content.  When finished reboot and resync your pad to iTunes to confirm settings.
    Hope this helps.  If you change a setting that is global and is used by itunes/App Store as well - always resync to confirm changes.
    regards, Ct

  • Endless login loop in itunes

    I have just changed my password for my itunes account. I am trying to login into Itunes. It tells me that I need to be verified. I enter in all the information and it is an endless loop of login required screens.
    I have already "managed my itunes" account through the website and verified my address and area code. Its not that.

    I ended up granting another user admin status. After this I moved important files, using the shared folder, and then completely deleted the old user that was having trouble with the login loop. If you have "insufficient privileges," right click on an icon you want to move and select "get info." At the bottom of this thin window should be access, where you can type in the new admin password and change to "read & write." The folder or file should now be movable.
    I haven't had the login loop problem since I deleted the old admin account. But, I finally purchased some anti-virus software which cleaned some things up too, so maybe its just a virus.

  • Apple update causing login loop?

    I just reformatted my computer and reinstalled the original operating system and everything works good after I put all of my files back into my computer from my backup. However, every time I try to to an update to either 10.6.6 or 10.6.8 I get stuck in this login loop where it asks me to login to my computer(which I normally don't have to do) and then after maybe ten seconds asks me to login again. I went into the single user mode I think it's called and tried resetting the password and deleting the launch services but it's still doing it. Do you have any idea why?

    If you follow the directions here and are sure to enter all of this EXACTLY as it appears here, you may be able to solve this problem. Be very careful to note the spaces or lack of in the commands which you will enter.
    You will first need to boot into single user mode, which will bring you to a scary looking text only screen. Don't be frightened.
    To do this, startup holding the Cmd-S keys together. At the entry which shows root# enter the following exactly. Write it down now, since you won't be able to copy/paste. Pay attention to case and spaces. Everything is lower case. The only spaces are between /sbin/mount and -uw, between -uw and / and between rm and /var/audit/current
    Type in
    /sbin/mount -uw /
    Hit return and then at the next root# prompt, type in
    rm /var/audit/current
    And hit return
    Note: extremely important: the only space in the above command is between rm and /var. There are no other spaces. If you do not enter this command exactly as written you will erase your entire hard drive. YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO COPY AND PASTE WHEN IN SINGLE USER MODE. WRITE THIS DOWN EXACTLY AS IT APPEARS NOW. A SINGLE TYPO MAY WRECK YOUR DRIVE!!! IF YOU ENTER THE COMMANDS AS WRITTEN, THIS IS COMPLETELY SAFE.
    At the next root# prompt type in "reboot" no quotes and hit return. Don't type in anything new until you get the root# prompt after entering each command.
    If after entering rm /var/audit/current, you get a message back saying "no such file," then just type in "reboot" at the prompt and hit return.
