[osol-discuss] turning off graphical desktop & boot screen
Hi, I've got 2009.06 installed and will be using it as an NFS server in a remote data center so I don't need any GUIs or graphics. I'd like to disable the graphical desktop and graphical boot screen (the blue background with the orange progress bar), as well as any other graphical stuff that I don't need. "svcadm disable gdm" did the trick for shutting off the gnome desktop and X in general, but after reboots I still have a graphical boot screen up and running that only goes away after I push the Esc key. I was looking at GRUB menu.lst and wondering if console= is the right place to change that behavior, but I'm not sure what options I can pass to it or what I should change it to. Here's the line I'm referring to: kernel$ /platform/i86pc/kernel/$ISADIR/unix -B $ZFS-BOOTFS,console=graphics Any ideas or pointers are greatly appreciated.

Not sure that was the right thing to do, I was left with a blue screen that I couldn't get rid of when accessing through the ilom remote console. :) Tom ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org

There are probably three lines above that you should also remove: splashimage /boot/solaris.xpm foreground d25f00 background 115d93 -- Alan Tom Georgoulias wrote: Shawn Walker wrote: Tom Georgoulias wrote: I was looking at GRUB menu.lst and wondering if console= is the right place to change that behavior, but I'm not sure what options I can pass to it or what I should change it to.
