If you cannot open files in the file manager, then the problem might be caused by dead NFS mounts. If you have a Solaris system, then there is probably a folder called /wabidisk, which is a dead NFS mount. If you open the / directory in the file manager, then you cannot open other folders in that window immediately after you have opened the file manager window. The dead mount/wabidisk points to a system that is removed from the network, disconnected, or powered down. This problem only affects siblings of a dead NFS mount, after you open the parent.

Solution  

Wait for a few minutes, and you should be able to open the folders successfully. If you experience this problem, then you should request your system administrator to clean up your NFS mounts.

Systems with two video cards might experience problems when trying to configure the X server graphics settings. This configuration is typically done at the end of the installation process. When you configure the video output, you might see that both of your monitors display the black-and-white cross-hatching that indicates that an X server is running. However, no subsequent SaX2 configuration program is launched.

If you reboot your system at this point, the key mappings change to the German locale. For non-German keyboard users, this might suggest that you cannot login successfully through the GDM login manager. 

Solution  

You need to use just one video card. Shut down the system, remove a video card, then reinstall the Java Desktop System. The locale that you select during installation should now persist and be correct. The system should also now be able to configure the remaining video card.
