Nexenta Solaris starting

I have installed Nexanta Solaris with VMWare, but it boots to command line. Any idea how to bring up the GUI?

Solution

  • From the FAQ:

    Cannot find /etc/X11/xorg.conf after installation...

    Similar to Solaris Express, xorg.conf is not present. If you want to customize the file, the best way is to boot in single-user mode, run:

    Xorg -configure

    Then copy /root/xorg.conf.new over to /etc/X11/xorg.conf and begin your customizations. Once you exit the console, the system will resume to multi-user level and GDM will start.
