Trusted Solaris 8 Release Notes

CDE exit sometimes fails (4385479)

After a user clicks the EXIT icon on the front panel to exit, the system does not return to the login screen. Instead it just hangs with a gray screen. This bug is in base Xserver (4068021, 4378762).

Workaround:

  1. Assume the admin role on another machine.

  2. In the admin role, rlogin to the hung machine.

  3. Find and kill the Xsun process.

       $ ps -ef | grep Xsun
         Xsun_proc_id
    $ kill Xsun_proc_id
