New to OpenSolaris, but I have a lot of experience with AIX and Linux (Gentoo). I am playing around with OS in VirtualBox 3.12.
I installed 2009.06 and everything was working fine. I then, attempted to switch to the dev repository and update to get access to ZFS dedup. I followed the instructions to update to the dev repository: 1) pfexec pkg set-publisher -O http://pkg.opensolaris.org/dev opensolaris.org 2) pfexec pkg image-update Lots of packages were downloaded and installed. I was prompted to reboot and there was a new option in grub. However, after booting to the new system, I don't get a GDM login.. svcadm restart gdm - does not work. Here is the output of svcs -x svc:/application/graphical-login/gdm:default (GNOME Display Manager) State: maintenance since December 2, 2009 3:53:31 PM EST Reason: Method failed. See: http://sun.com/msg/SMF-8000-8Q See: man -M /usr/share/man -s 1 gdm See: /var/svc/log/application-graphical-login-gdm:default.log Impact: This service is not running. The default.log doesn't seem to contain anything interesting: cat application-graphical-login-gdm\:default.log [ Nov 30 05:09:04 Executing start method ("/lib/svc/method/svc-gdm start"). ] [ Nov 30 05:09:06 Method "start" exited with status 0. ] [ Nov 30 13:55:47 Disabled. ] [ Nov 30 13:55:47 Rereading configuration. ] [ Nov 30 14:04:09 Enabled. ] [ Nov 30 14:06:24 Executing start method ("/lib/svc/method/svc-gdm start"). ] [ Nov 30 14:06:26 Method "start" exited with status 0. ] [ Nov 30 14:11:12 Enabled. ] [ Nov 30 14:12:47 Executing start method ("/lib/svc/method/svc-gdm start"). ] [ Nov 30 14:12:49 Method "start" exited with status 0. ] [ Nov 30 14:15:41 Stopping because service disabled. ] [ Nov 30 14:15:42 Executing stop method ("/lib/svc/method/svc-gdm stop"). ] [ Nov 30 14:15:45 Method "stop" exited with status 0. ] [ Nov 30 14:17:45 Enabled. ] [ Nov 30 14:19:29 Executing start method ("/lib/svc/method/svc-gdm start"). ] [ Nov 30 14:19:30 Method "start" exited with status 0. ] [ Dec 1 14:31:31 Enabled. ] [ Dec 1 14:33:01 Executing start method ("/lib/svc/method/svc-gdm start"). ] [ Dec 1 14:33:03 Method "start" exited with status 0. ] [ Dec 1 16:44:27 Enabled. ] [ Dec 1 16:45:09 Rereading configuration. ] [ Dec 1 16:51:15 Executing start method ("/lib/svc/method/svc-gdm start"). ] [ Dec 1 16:51:15 Method "start" exited with status 0. ] [ Dec 1 17:08:10 Enabled. ] [ Dec 1 17:09:44 Executing start method ("/lib/svc/method/svc-gdm start"). ] [ Dec 1 17:09:46 Method "start" exited with status 0. ] [ Dec 2 15:40:27 Enabled. ] [ Dec 2 15:42:00 Executing start method ("/lib/svc/method/svc-gdm start"). ] [ Dec 2 15:42:02 Method "start" exited with status 0. ] [ Dec 2 15:52:30 Stopping because service restarting. ] [ Dec 2 15:52:30 Executing stop method ("/lib/svc/method/svc-gdm stop"). ] [ Dec 2 15:52:30 Method "stop" exited with status 0. ] [ Dec 2 15:53:30 Method or service exit timed out.
