Hi Today I used the Aug 12 snapshot files to upgrade. It wasn't successful as I did not read the notes at [1]. I had become complacent WRT upgrades as over the last 6 months they've been extremely straight forward and I foolishly assumed this one would be too.
Anyway, after finding myself locked out, I managed to get in to the system by booting single-user mode and using /usr/sbin/pwd_mkdb on /etc/master.passwd. I also discovered none of the pkg_script daemons started. Nor did X. I rolled-back to the earlier snapshot using bsd.rd and "upgrading" - so my system is probably a bit messy now; but, everything is working as it did. Having read [1] properly now, I know what to do. But, I still wonder about a couple of things: - how will I know when my packages are ready/been updated for the change? - As X did not work the first time, does that mean it will not work when I do upgrade properly or do a fresh-installation of the Aug 12 snapshot? I suppose hardware has a time limit in terms of when it will no longer be able to support some of the most up-to-date changes over time. I've included a dmesg in case that is useful. It is not from the failed Aug 12 snapshot but the Jul 30 snapshot. Sorry for asking what may seem like stupid questions. I really just wanted some clarification on those particular points before I attempt it again. Thanks for your time and for the work done on this OS. And for helping idiots like me when screwing things up. :-) Cheers, Jamie. 1 - http://www.openbsd.org/faq/current.html#20130813 dmesg: OpenBSD 5.4 (GENERIC.MP) #41: Tue Jul 30 15:30:02 MDT 2013 dera...@amd64.openbsd.org:/usr/src/sys/arch/amd64/compile/GENERIC.MP real mem = 1976107008 (1884MB) avail mem = 1915834368 (1827MB) mainbus0 at root bios0 at mainbus0: SMBIOS rev. 2.5 @ 0xef3f0 (64 entries) bios0: vendor LENOVO version "5CKT63AUS" date 06/09/2010 bios0: LENOVO 4099A2G acpi0 at bios0: rev 2 acpi0: sleep states S0 S3 S4 S5 acpi0: tables DSDT TCPA FACP _MAR SLIC MCFG HPET APIC BOOT ASF!
