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.
