Can't make dir in home directory!

lennoguard · 02-09-2006, 09:14 PM

2, I am a newbie in this field, I've just set up Solaris10 on a SUN machine, I login as root on a remote machine on the same LAN,but i can't make dir in "/home", what can i do??
I'am using Xmanager to login, i can't enter the Graphic interface but console interface.
Sorry for my English

I am a Solaris newbie and I experienced the same problem on my first installation. The solution was to set the home directory to /export/home/userid.

lennoguard · 02-09-2006, 09:50 PM

if my userid is 1005, then the home directory is /export/home/1005, is it true??

reddazz · 02-09-2006, 09:53 PM

Sorry I meant /export/home/username.

Yes, that's the traditional location of home directories under Solaris.
However, they still should be referred as /home/userid, this can be done by using the automounter home mapping file /etc/auto_home:

Code:

* localhost:/export/home/&

[Please contact your system administrator to resolve the following problem:
Could not resolve the address "xml:readwrite:/user/remi/.gconf" in the configuration file "/etc/gconf/2/path": Couldn't resolve address for configuration source: Can't read from or write to the XML root directory in the address "xml:readwrite:/user/remi/.gconf"]
That's the error message when i entered Java Desktop System, tell me what to do, pls

Run

Code:

id
ls -la /user/remi/.gconf
ls -ld /user/remi/.gconf

and post the results.

I confirm that i login the Solaris10 (Sparc) through Xmanager.

Code:

ls -la /user/remi/.gconf
ls -ld /user/remi/.gconf

and the result is

Code:

#ls -la /user/remi/.gconf
total 4
drwx------ 2 root root 512 Feb 9 17:50.
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 512 Feb 9 17:48..
#ls -ld /user/remi/.gconf
drwx------ 2 root root 512 Feb 9 17:50 /user/remi/.gconf

You didn't post all what I asked for, anyway:

Is /user/remi root's home directory ?

Under what account are you trying to login ?

Thanks, I've just solved my problem
