4. End-of-Software Support Statements
A. Table of Integrated Bug Fixes in the Solaris 10 Operating System
The following bugs in Solaris 10 OS apply to the Common Desktop Environment (CDE).
When an x64 system is configured for Solaris Trusted Extensions, users with administrative roles other than root cannot connect to the X Window server on the console. Applications will fail to start. No error message is displayed.
Workaround: Permit TCP connections that are coming from the local host. To permit the TCP connections, create a /etc/X0.hosts file and add a single line with the global zone's host name.
On the Trusted CDE desktop, the screen lock starts correctly but when you unlock the screen, the desktop displays an inaccurate message and then logs you out. The problem does not occur with LDAP name service but only with other name services.
The following error message is displayed:
Your account has expired, you will be logged out in 10 seconds, or click OK to logout immediately
Workaround: Choose one of the following workarounds.
Workaround 1: In the global zone, edit /etc/nsswitch.conf file to add xxxx at the end of the passwd line. Choose one of the following examples:
passwd: files xxxx
passwd: files ldap xxxx
Workaround 2: Restart the name service cache daemon (nscd) service through SMF:
# svcadm restart name-service-cache
In a multi-label session on the Trusted Java DS desktop, when you select Switch to a different role, the desktop displays an inaccurate message. Also, the role cannot be switched. This bug does not affect the LDAP name service but affects all other name services.
The following error message is displayed:
Couldn't set account management for root.
Workaround: Choose one of the following workarounds.
Workaround 1: In the global zone, edit /etc/nsswitch.conf file to add xxxx at the end of the passwd line. Choose one of the following examples:
passwd: files xxxx
passwd: files ldap xxxx
Workaround 2: Restart the nscd service through SMF:
# svcadm restart name-service-cache
When you drag the dtfile icon, the icon and the mouse pointer might not be displayed. No error message is displayed.
Workaround: Add the following lines to the /usr/dt/config/<locale>/sys.resources file , under #if EXT_SUN_TS OL:
!! DragNDrop protocol. Other styles cause policy violation. *DragInitiatorProtocolStyle: DRAG_DYNAMIC *DragReceiverProtocolStyle: DRAG_DYNAMIC
When the SMC is used to manage network security templates, the /etc/s ecurity/tsol/tnrhdb file is updated but the tndb cache is not updated. Network security definitions do not take effect. No error message is displayed.
Workaround: After you modify a network entry in the SMC, manually refresh the tndb cache with one of the following commands:
Modify an entry in the file scope:
# /usr/sbin/tnctl -H /etc/security/tsol/tnrhdb
Modify an entry in the LDAP scope:
# /usr/sbin/tnctl -H <hostname>
When you type the /usr/X11/bin/xrander -s command to set a smaller screen resolution, Trusted Stripe is no longer displayed. This affects the Trusted CDE Desktop but not the Trusted Java DS Desktop. No error message is displayed.
Workaround: After the resolution changes, restart the Workspace Manager. Select windows -> Restart Workspace Manager from the CDE workspace menu and click OK.
GNOME applications do not start if you log in remotely and enable accessibility in gnome-at-properties. If you attempt to start a GNOME application, the following error message is displayed:
** ERROR **: Accessibility app error: exception during registry activation from id: IDL:Bonobo/GeneralError:1.0 aborting...
Workaround: None. Do not enable accessibility when you log in by using dtremote.
To revert to the default desktop settings in which accessibility is disabled, close the GNOME session. Issue the following command:
% gnome-cleanup
If you use the JumpStart installation method, the process might use a system identification configuration (sysidcfg) file. This file is used to generate a specific Xsun configuration file for a system. The Xsun configuration portion of a sysidcfg file is created by the command kdmconfig -d filename. However, on systems that use the default Xorg server, the command does not create a file with any Xorg configuration information. Consequently, you cannot use the JumpStart method on these systems without some additional preparatory steps.
Workaround: Before using the JumpStart installation method on a system that uses the Xorg server, perform the following steps.
Prepare a specific xorg.conf file to be used on the system. Store this file in the JumpStart directory of the JumpStart server.
Create an xorg.conf file with one of these commands:
/usr/X11/bin/Xorg -configure
/usr/X11/bin/xorgconfig
/usr/X11/bin/xorgcfg
Create a finish script that copies the xorg.conf file to the /etc/X11 directory in the system that you want to install. For example, the script might include the following line:
cp ${SI_CONFIG_DIR}/xorg.conf /etc/X11/Xorg.conf
In the custom JumpStart rules file, include the finish script in the rules entry for systems of the type that you want to install.
Perform the custom JumpStart installation.
For instructions about how to perform a custom JumpStart installation, see the Solaris 10 8/07 Installation Guide: Custom JumpStart and Advanced Installations. Chapter 4 includes information about the JumpStart rules file, while Chapter 5 contains a section about finish scripts.
The Removable Media auto run capability in the CDE desktop environment has been temporarily removed from the Solaris 10 software.
Workaround: To use the auto run function for a CD-ROM or another removable media volume, you must do one of the following:
Run the volstart program from the top level of the removable media file system.
Follow the instructions that are included with the CD for access from outside of CDE.
After you delete the last item from the desktop, the item is restored from the handheld device to the desktop when you synchronize your handheld device. Examples of items that you might delete, and then have restored, are the last appointment in your Calendar or the last address in the Address Manager.
Workaround: Manually delete the last entry from the handheld device prior to synchronization.
