Much better than the Linux "file 'which file'" (with back ticks) ...

Have you tried:

uname -a


The Solaris/openSolaris/illumos kernel doesn't change any of the values
in uname between 32 & 64-bit kernels, much to the confusion of users of
kernels which do.

Multiple people on the list have succeeded in this process, but it

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Help with some error while upgrading to latest open indiana

[Timothy Coalson]

There is an intermediate hipster snapshot that is preserved for the purpose
of *testing* a migration from dev 151a9 to hipster, with a process outlined
here:

https://wiki.openindiana.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=30802657

It worked for me within the last month on a fairly basic OI install, though
I stayed at that snapshot, and didn't try to continue to rolling hipster
updates.  Remember the usual disclaimers about hipster, as it is rolling
release, being more of a testing distribution and not recommended for
production (rolling releases will inevitably break things now and then).

I think the sort of normal advice I've seen here is if possible do an
install from scratch.

I just made the move you are attempting about 1.5 mnths ago.  First I
tried doing an upgrade in a vm I had on another machine from 151* to
hipster.

I did not work, but I've lost track of the problems that came up.

I was leery of bringing down my solaris host to do a `from scratch'
install, imagining all kinds of things I might run into and then the
machine would be down for who knows how long.

I'm pretty inexperienced with solaris and openindiana.

But I braved up and tried it.  I used the 161030 iso, and really had
no trouble getting thru it.

This is on an HP xw8600 workstation.

So, although I really did not answer your question:

  I was pleasantly surprised, so I'd recommend you try `from scratch'.
  Unless your hardware has already proven itself to be seriously
  troublesome.

[OpenIndiana-discuss] About readline and ~/.inputrc

[Harry Putnam]

Does anyone know what readline pkgs are necessay to make bash's
~/.inputrc file work?

These are the pkgs shown by `pkg list -a' on current OS image:

 SUNWgnu-readline5.2-0.133--r
 library/readline6.3-2017.0.0.1   i--
 web/php-54/extension/php-readline   5.4.45-2016.0.0.2--o
 web/php-55/extension/php-readline   5.5.38-2016.0.0.1--o
 web/php-56/extension/php-readline   5.6.27-2017.0.0.0---

As you see there I have only library/readline installed

`man bash' shows subsection on INPUTRC and READLINE, but never
mentions what readline library is required.

I think I would like to install whatever readline tools are needed in
order to be able to use ~/.inputrc... which I've found quite usefull
to have from my linux days.

I suspect it will be external readline pkg like readline-gnu

But do not know, because looks like our `gnu-readline', is now part of
`userland-incorporation' and I do have that installed.

What I do know is that ~/.inputrc does not work on my installation of
current hipster (using bash).
