Solaris 10

So I finally installed Solaris 10 build 69 on my Blade 100 - and the next day Sun releases build 72 :( The main reason I installed Solaris 10 was to play with DTrace. I'm particularly interested in DTrace and jstack, although there currently doesn't seem to be a lot of information about jstack - Calvin's blog being one source.

I also need to install some more RAM in my Blade 100 - time to surf over to crucial.

The Blade came with Solaris 8 pre-installed, so this is the first time I've ever installed Solaris. Overall the install is simple, but I have to say, finding the ok prompt and typing "boot cdrom" was not really what I was expecting to have to do. The Java Desktop System is a massive improvement over the Common Desktop Environment (CDE), although I don't quite understand why Sun didn't add an option to the GNOME Launch menu for the Solaris Management Console.

Things that appeared broken after the install included the Java Media Player doesn't appear to work, and clicking Java in Desktop Preferences gives "Cannot launch entry" since the command was pointing to /a/user/java/jre/bin/ControlPanel when it should have pointed to /user/java/jre/bin/ControlPanel. Another problem I have is that I used the Solaris Management Console to create a new user. If I login as this user using CDE or the Java Desktop System, I never actually manage to login, and always end up back at the Welcome screen. If I login using the Command Line option, I can login fine. Anyone know what log file I should look in to try and resolve this problem?

Update: It appears the reason the new user I created couldn't login, was because of a corrupted .dtprofile. Taking a copy of roots file fixed the problem, and I can now login to the Java Desktop System using the newly created user.
