Solaris 11 – Install Gnome

por | 8 abril, 2014

After a fresh install of Solaris 11 express, only the console mode is activated.
To add Gnome, simply do :

$ sudo pkg install slim_install

This will install additional packages that are not installed by default.
Then the service needs to be enabled:

$ sudo svcadm enable gdm
You can reboot now and voilà the beautiful GDM should appear «auto-magically» (thx to Masta for the word 🙂

!! That’s All Folks !!
