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.
I just installed a zone and I see the following:
r...@dev:~# svcs -a |grep offline
offline 10:12:09 svc:/system/consolekit:default
offline 10:12:09 svc:/application/graphical-login/gdm:default
r...@dev:~#
r...@dev:~# svcs -vx
svc:/system/consolekit:default (ConsoleKit)
State: offline since Tue Feb 02 10:12:09 2010
Reason: Dependency svc:/system/dbus is absent.
See: http://sun.com/msg/SMF-8000-E2
See: man -M /usr/share/man -s 1m console-kit-daemon
Impact: 1 dependent service is not running:
svc:/application/graphical-login/gdm:default
r...@dev:~#
That seems to indicate that gdm will not run in a zone with the default
dependencies.
I installed the zone and ran 'pkg -R /zones/dev/root install
SUNWgnome-display-mgr’
to add gdm.
You probably also need to remove the D-Bus dependency from the
consolekit SMF file. Like GDM, it doesn't depend on the system D-Bus
service.
It is true, though, that the new GDM will not start if the ConsoleKit
daemon is not running.
