On OI 151pre1 there was the problem that if you used the text install (which didn't include autosnapshots) and installed the proper package, you needed to restart dbus (or do a reboot).

Sorry to restart this old thread but am having the very problem I worried back in Feb . I've make a fresh install of 151a7... Now I've gotten around to trying to setup auto snapshosts and get the slider tool working, but I find the gui tool simply does not work. When I click it I get the passwd dialog... then a fairly lengthy wait and finally an error message (and the slider tool, but greyed out) come up with the message: SNAPSHOT Manager service error The snapshot manager service has encountered a problem and has been disabled until the problem is fixed.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Auto snapshots
From: Edward Ned Harvey (openindiana) [mailto:openindi...@nedharvey.com] In 151a5, I had to fiddle with password before time-slider GUI config worked. But the present release is 151a7, so maybe that's a resolved issue now. Either way, the workaround was trivial, so I would say you can safely call the issue resolved. Yesterday, I built a 151a5 server and upgraded to 151a7. The bug is still present. A few months ago, I did file a bug report, so eventually I'm sure it'll be resolved. But like I said, the workaround is trivial, so, ... whatever. ___ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
[OpenIndiana-discuss] Auto snapshots
Probably well trodden ground, but looking back into the past list discussions I'm not noticing a straight answer about this. I quit working with OI some 1.5 yrs ago and have forgotten most of what I ever learned about using it. I do remember there was a problem with auto snapshots in the early builds available shortly after the break from opensolaris to openindiana. I think build 148 to 150 were the last builds I used. Has that issue been completely resolved... auto snapshots now work with no problems? ___ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss

Either way, the workaround was trivial, so I would say you can safely call the issue resolved. Workaround for 151a5 was: (Assuming I created my user eharvey during install) sudo su - passwd eharvey (set it to something temporary) passwd root (set it to something temporary) passwd eharvey (put it back to what I want it to be) passwd root (put it back to what I want it to be) And after that, launch the time-slider GUI config utility. ___ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
