I tried connecting using both Exceed and VNC and was not able to enter text from the keyboard after starting a JDS session. Now I am able to enter text, but unfortunately I'm not sure which change fixed the problem so I'll list the changes I made that may have had an affect. Since, the keyboard is now working I am not able to test these individually. 1. I noticed that I had inadvertantly left my .cshrc file owned by root. I fixed this. 2. I logged into the server using CDE rather than JDS. While logged into CDE the keyboard worked fine. 3. I opened the Launch/Preferences/Desktop Preferences/Keyboard/Behavior window and unchecked the Repeat Keys and Cursor Blinking check boxes, then closed the window. After making the changes listed above I was am able to enter text into multiple applications while using JDS. I'm not sure which, if any, of these changes eliminated the problem. I have also notice an error message each time I log in now. It says that the wnck-applet has unexpectedly quit and is then followed by: "The panel encoutered a problem while loading OAFIID:GNOME_ShowDesktopApplet Details: Unknown CORBA exception id: 'IDL:omg.org/CORBA/INV_OBJREF:1.0' Re: Xterminal keyboard doesn't worked when using Sun Java Desktop System 3 Author: db101 Feb 26, 2005 3:32 PM (reply 16 of 40) Reply » I am having the exact same issue trying to remotely login to a headless Ultra10 running Solaris10 build 74 (JDS- When logging into CDE...no probs). I have tried the suggestions in these replies but to no avail. It seems to be an incompatability between the kb extension and gnome as the dt session log states: Window manager warning: Log level 32: could not find XKB extension. Yet my Xsun process seems to have the kb extension activated: /usr/openwin/bin/Xsun :0 -aud it 0 -nobanner +kb -auth /var/lib/gdm/:0.Xauth Are we any closer to this one yet?

I have installed the GA release. Cygwin Xwin gives some additional hints and also points at gnome being the problem, but Im no closer yet...

I'd love to hear about a solution.

I have been having the same problem with connecting from a few different Xservers. Re: Xterminal keyboard doesn't worked when using Sun Java Desktop System 3 Author: stan.buchanan Mar 5, 2005 1:22 PM (reply 20 of 40) Reply » I have the same problem with JDS3 on a SunFire E2900 (headless server). CDE keyboard works fine. I found out something interesting though. If you install Soalris 10 on a box *with* a head, the same keyboard problem occurs until you log in *local* which then does something to make remote XDMCP access work from then on too. Of course, on a headless box this simply isn't an option. Please post any patches to this thread!

I must have some permission problem. Can anyone give me a hint?

It works for me, but do you have a link for the sunsolve article I had already looked and found nothing.

Even if they did, they are just workarounds, and not something we want to implement across hundreds of users. I have lodged a case with SUN support and I will report back on progress and a bugid as soon as I get one.
