Paul:
Is it possible to run GDM inside a zone on b131 ? I would like to have a zone I can use to run stuff like netbeans etc in, and I don’t want to use the global zone for that.
It would think that it should be possible, though I have not tried it myself.
As far as I can tell the gdm smf service depends on dbus and that is marked as global zone only.
I do not believe that GDM depends on the system D-Bus service. Instead, D-Bus and ConsoleKit communicate with each other via D-Bus. So, it depends on D-Bus, but not the system D-Bus instance. So, this should not be an issue, I'd think. If anything, there may be an issue with the battery status applet in GDM not working properly if it cannot connect to the system D-Bus, though that may not be an issue if you are using a server that does not run on a battery.
One more complication is that gdm is missing the old dtlogin option to select a remote host to connect to. Or is that option hidden/disabled by default ?
The new GDM does support running as an XDMCP server and supports running XDMCP clients via indirect queries. However, it currently does not support the ability to launch the XDMCP chooser from the login screen. This is a known regression: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=592976 Brian _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
