Enable gdm in Solaris 11 non-global zone

591807Jun 13 2012 — edited Sep 25 2012
I am trying to enable gdm in a fresh solaris 11 NGZ. I installed slim_install and solaris-desktop. gdm will not start, and shows the following:

# svcs -xv gdm
svc:/application/graphical-login/gdm:default (GNOME Display Manager)
State: offline since Thu Jun 14 10:56:54 2012
Reason: Service svc:/system/hal:default is in an invalid state.
See: http://sun.com/msg/SMF-8000-GE
Path: svc:/application/graphical-login/gdm:default
svc:/system/hal:default
Reason: Service svc:/system/dbus:default is temporarily disabled.
See: http://sun.com/msg/SMF-8000-GE
Path: svc:/application/graphical-login/gdm:default
svc:/system/dbus:default
See: man -M /usr/share/man -s 1m gdm
Impact: This service is not running.

# svcs -xv dbus
svc:/system/dbus:default (D-BUS message bus)
State: disabled since Thu Jun 14 12:47:15 2012
Reason: Temporarily disabled by an administrator.
See: http://sun.com/msg/SMF-8000-1S
See: man -M /usr/man -s 1 dbus-daemon
See: /var/svc/log/system-dbus:default.log
Impact: 2 dependent services are not running:
svc:/application/graphical-login/gdm:default

# uname -a
SunOS test-host 5.11 11.0 sun4v sparc sun4v

I gather from reading other threads that dbus will not run in a NGZ, so how can I get gnome desktop manager to start?
