[OpenIndiana-discuss] OI SPARC ISO and repository available for download
I now have my Open Indiana hipster ISO and IPS repository ready for
download. You can obtain them as:
https://apt.dilos.org/oi-sparc/OI_2018_Text_SPARC.iso.gz
https://apt.dilos.org/oi-sparc/OI_2018_repository.tar.gz
To verify these files, use the following checksums:
$ digest -a sha256 OI_2018_Text_SPARC.iso.gz
401af052e33d2f2aaa5bd0c62251194e2882ed9164c72b76757def962fceb883
$ digest -a sha256 OI_2018_repository.tar.gz
4929c8abd31a944be2ceb0e35251f5b0bc972e1524828c0faee83a7407c271d6
The ISO did boot and install on my T2000. I'd like to know if it
boots on other SPARC machines, and also if it boots and runs in a
zone. I only tested it on real hardware.
I did have to boot it twice. The first boot command always failed,
but the second succeeded. I don't know why this happens. This is
the OBP command I used, both times:
{0} ok boot cdrom
Only the text installer is available. Eventually, it will give you a
welcome message and a menu. The installer will ask you to select a
disk from a list of available disks, and prompt for a user name and
password, and also for a root password. Beware that it installs onto
the active disk by default. Select another disk, if this is not what
you want. It will install OI SPARC on that disk, and change the OBP
variable boot-device to boot that disk. If that is not what you want,
change it before rebooting.
Please also let me know if the install succeeds for you.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Bluetooth mouse?
Unfortunately no. We lack Bluetooth completely. Wireless mouse can only be used by using proprietary dongles like Logitech which hide the Wireless part.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] OpenIndiana Hipster 2019.10
You always need to reboot. IPS never updates the live system but clones it and updates the clone. This feature is known as Boot Environments. You can manage them with the beadm utility. image-update and update are the same command. At least they map to the exact same action. Why we documented image-update i do not know. The manpage only lists update. The IO error you are getting points to either a defect Hardware or Connection problems. Can you run "curl -iv http://pkg.openindiana.org; ? That should give you more information what is not working.

[OpenIndiana-discuss] Bluetooth mouse?
Is there hope for support for this Bluetooth dongle?

This will typically create a new boot environment which needs to be activated by a reboot initiated by"pfexec init 6". Also, it does look like the image-update updated the system, because I now see root@nuc:~# cat /etc/release OpenIndiana Hipster 2019.10 (powered by illumos) After I ran image-update, it still said 2019.04, but after rebooting, I now see this. -- ==Leonard ___ openindiana-discuss mailing list openindiana-discuss@openindiana.org https://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss

What does image-update do? The Wiki says it, "you need to update to the latest revision before updating to more recent ''hipster'", which suggests (to me) that image-update updates to a repository and a major release has a new repository.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] updating an older version of hipster
Am 09.11.2019 um 17:15 schrieb Harry Putnam:
I've decided to finally update my version of hipster. I think it
might date to January of 2018 going by the date on the last zfs
creation date.
I want to know if the details I've extracted from the running version
shown below will provide enough info for someone to answer my
questions shown below.
,
| uname -a
| SunOS oiv 5.11 illumos-8c33116662 i86pc i386 i86pc
`
Can the date of the kernel above be divined from the version number above?
If you have cloned the illumos-gate repository ("git clone
https://github.com/OpenIndiana/oi-userland.git;) you can get information
about the latest commit that is in your boot enviroment by issuing "git
show 8c33116662".
--- --- ---=--- --- ---
,
| sudo ls /.zfs/snapshot
| zfs-auto-snap_monthly-2018-01-06-16h05
`
I do not recall, but I may have continued to run OS beyond the date
of last `auto snapshot' shown above. I may have ran the OS without
the auto snapshot enabled but I believe the date shown is at least
close to the last run date.
"zfs list -t snapshot" should give you the same information without the
need to increase your rights with sudo.
"beadm list" will show you all existing boot environments with their
creation dates in your system.
--- --- ---=--- --- ---
,
| pkg publisher
| PUBLISHER TYPE STATUS P LOCATION
| openindiana.org origin online F http://pkg.openindiana.org/hipster/
`
Before updating the OS, will I need to do anything with publisher shown
above?
No, everything is fine with your publisher.
And lastly:
Although I have run Openindiana and then Hipster for a few years, I
still have only a basic skill level: Am I likely to run into serious
problems updating from a version over a 1 year old?
Check https://www.openindiana.org/category/announcements/ for
information and head-ups.
If you are having problems you can ask for help either here or on IRC
(see https://www.openindiana.org/community/support/).
