Enable Dynamic X Sessions


Note -  The GNOME desktop runs on the X Window System. In this procedure, the term X session is used generically to identify this environment.

For more information about the /usr/lib/ConsoleKit/dsession command, use the --help option. To learn more about the GNOME desktop and ConsoleKit, see the gdm(1M) and console-kit-daemon(1M) man pages.

You must have the console role (c) and the admin role (a) in Oracle ILOM and administrator privileges on Oracle Solaris to complete this task.

  1. Log in to Oracle ILOM.

  2. Start the host console.

  4. If necessary, switch to the root role or other administrator role by using the su command.
  5. Disable the GNOME display manager.
