Hi Stephen
Thanks for the feedback, now I have a working GUI on my new workstation.
By tweaking the /etc/driver_aliases to add line below my Nvidia Geforce
GTX1650 OC card is working perfectly, there is a delay while the display
starts but no reboots
nvidia "pci10de,1f82"
Now that the motherboard has failed, the problem I reported was probably
due to a failing motherboard
When my workstation failed, in order to get a working system I had a
limited choice of parts to build from.
If anyone wants to build a compatible OpenIndiana compatible the MSI MPG
B550 Gaming Plus, AMD Ryzen 5 5600X, Gigabyte Geforce GTX1650 OC,
Fractal Design XL R2 case
Many thanks
Russell

There is a hardcoded dependency on the nvidia-390 driver

Hi
My dual opteron motherboard finally died, so I had to build a new
workstation based on a Ryzen 5 5600X.
Once the workstation was built, I started the Openindiana install,
downloading the 2020 October text based iso.
Very happy with the installation, no problems there as I wanted to
create a mirrorred boot pair of SSDs.
After completing the Openindiana install on the mirrored pair, I
performed a pkg refresh, then a pkg update creating a new BE.
After completing the update and I performed pkg install mate_install
it worked fine, though I have noticed a couple of things.
1) when performing a pkg install/update the create plan can take a
very, very long time compared to the Dual Opteron 2435 workstation.
???? Things that took seconds or worse a few minutes can now take
hours...(literally being left over night)
2) When I attempted to replace the Nvidia-390 driver with the
Nvidia-460 driver, by removing the Nvidia-390 driver it has a
dependency on nvidia pkg, attempting to remove nvidia pkg results in a
warning that the mate install depends on pkg nvidia.
How can upgrade to the Nvidia-460 driver?
Regards
Russell

Hello!
Thanks to John to point out this possibility of changing the nvidia
driver version and avoid intermediate reboots.
Hello!
You don't need mate-install,
it's only a meta-package, you can leave in un-installed.
Stephan
