Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] How do I upgrade from 151a7 to 151a9 ?
Seems like there is something with GNOME config files in user home folder, indeed. After touching GNOME so that it saves some config, the problem disappeared. (I have removed the Volume applet from the upper toolbar in production server, and after that upgrade went without problems; Seems like any change will do, Volume applet is not the culprit. Removed the whole bottom taskbar in vbox installation, and after that I was unable to reproduce the problem) Laurent Blume wrote: chances are it's something messed up in the ~/.gnome*/ directories.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] How do I upgrade from 151a7 to 151a9 ?
Are you saying that after updating to a new OI151a9 BE, you removed the volume applet from the toolbar while logged in under an OI151a7 BE, and then you booted to OI151a9. Whereupon everything worked perfectly after logging in under OI151a9??? On 2014-02-20 19:32, Dmitry Kozhinov wrote: Seems like there is something with GNOME config files in user home folder, indeed.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] How do I upgrade from 151a7 to 151a9 ?
Not exactly. I have removed the volume applet in 151a7 even before upgrading to 191a9. Not sure that this is why the upgrade went surprisingly well (on a production server). However when i tried to reproduce the problem in virtualbox, seemed like the following helped: - Updated to 151a9; Reproduced the problem somehow (reinstalled gvfs?); - Booted into 151a7 BE and deleted .gnome* folders in my home folder; - Booted into 151a9 successfully.

GNOME has always been a little picky on upgrades, that's why there is a gnome-cleanup tool in Solaris, and I believe, in OI as well. Ie, if the problem occurs on an existing account, but not on a newly created one, chances are it's something messed up in the ~/.gnome*/ directories. The easiest way to fix it is to remove them.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] How do I upgrade from 151a7 to 151a9 ?
OpenHoosiers, Something else which can complicate updating from 151a7 is hipster. If you have gone hipster on a 151a7 installation, then your work is more complicated. I have successfully upgraded a hipster 151a7 installation through a8 dev to a9 dev. I would not be able to retrace my steps precisely, but generally, I did the following: * Mount a Boot Environment so to work with it offline: # beadm mount theBEname /mnt/mountDir * Update this offline Boot Environment using the -R switch in pkg. * Identify offensive packages: # pkg -R /mnt/mountDir update -n * In pkg, --reject offensive packages. At this point, I was able to continue updating by ... # pkg -R /mnt/mountDir update -- reject gdm@0.5.11-0.151.1.9 *@*-0.151.1.9 * Update of gdm will fail if user gdm is gone from /etc/passwrd, /etc/shadow, or /etc/group So from within that BE: # user add -c GDM Reserved UID -g 50 -u 50 -d /var/lib/gdm gdm then ... # groupadd -g 50 gdm /etc/shadow should look like ... gdm:*LK*::: * If possible, occasionally run pkg fix --accept * Look in svcs to see that gdm is enabled to run. If not, then ... # svcadm enable gdm And as Udo said, ensure that gvfs is installed. Be patient! The iterative process took me a couple of weeks with much study and reading of man pages.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] How do I upgrade from 151a7 to 151a9 ?
Hi, could you describe your system configuration? What is in your ~/.xsession-errors ? If you do pkg verify then is your system OK? If you check output of pkg list, are all your packages on the latest versions? It means all components from system repository are on versions ending with -0.151.1.9 ? The key problem is if the only person who is working on JDS these days (I) can reproduce your problem on my systems. I cannot reproduce them. Give me hints how to reproduce it and I will do that. Yes, nobody has the idea why you have problems. If you are using standard desktop system then there should not be problems like you are describing.
