Does anybody have any idea when an OpenSolaris Indiana version based on snv_131 will be put on genunix.org and in the /dev repository so we can either install or pkg image-update to it?
I guess until OpenSolaris snv_131 comes out, the only workaround will be to use ZFS's beadm ZFS snapshot and rewind capabilities to boot back into the old boot environment that you used before you did the pkg image-update to build 130. So far, I have been having a really rough time with updates from snv_111b to the builds from 128 onwards breaking everything on all of my systems (almost as bad as the classic "apt-get distroy-everything" command I ran on one of my Debian Sid boxes a very long time ago). The worst thing was when I tried to install a new system with build 131 straight from the live CD and ran in to this bug: 13540 Xserver crashes and freezes a system installed with LiveCD on bld 130 http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=13540 After installation, the X server may crash and appears to not be restarted by the GNOME Display Manager (gdm). Work-around: None at this time. Great. So you can't even install the O.S. from the snv_130 CD and have a working X-server.... so when does OpenSolaris dev snv_131 come out again? I was hoping it might be up on genunix.org before next Friday, but maybe I'm being too optimistic? If snv_131 is still too half-baked to be released to the public next week, then maybe instead we could have an snv_130a that at least lets you install a working system from the installation CD? 'cause right now snv_130 is totally unusable :-( -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
