Sorry to dig up an old topic but this is kind of a continuation. Whenever I try to do an upgrade my desktop is completely screwed after a restart.
I turned of "Visual Effects", and tried again and it still failed. I forgot about it for ages. I tried to install "pcre" and got: root@jadlaptop:~# pkg install -nv --no-refresh pkg:/library/pcre Packages to update: 2 Estimated space available: 13.40 GB Estimated space to be consumed: 314.08 MB Create boot environment: No Create backup boot environment: Yes Rebuild boot archive: No Changed packages: openindiana.org library/pcre 8.21,5.11-0.151.1.8.1:20130620T081948Z -> 8.21,5.11-0.151.1.8.1:20130825T191147Z library/zlib 1.2.3,5.11-0.151.1.8:20130305T140745Z -> 1.2.8,5.11-0.151.1.8.1:20130825T230351Z and noticed a few bad changes on my system, including thunderbird not working any more. I rebooted and got exactly the same dead-desktop as before with the same core dumping. I've booted into the backup and now I've run a "pkg freeze pkg:/library/zlib @1.2.3", and will do an update with that in place to see if that will work/fail miserably. ... rebooted after the upgrade and everything appears to be working (with the exception of svc:/application/pkg/server:default which I just disabled) Should I be looking out for anything else suspicious?
