[OpenIndiana-discuss] gdm freezing

[Reginald Beardsley]

Forgive my asking the obvious, but have you tried uninstalling them one at a time?

FWIW I just booted my Ultra 20 which I setup as an OI dev system w/ 151_a8.   The keyboard and mouse were both unresponsive briefly.  Not sure why, but I use a KVM switch so I see such behavior fairly often and am in the habit of just cycling thru the ports in response.  You might try removing and reconnecting the keyboard and mouse or using different ports and/or a different keyboard and mouse.  Connectors do fail and an intermittent can do a wonderful job of simulating a software fault.

I often see OI 151_a8 on my Giada N3  become non-responsive, but that appears to be a Firefox issue as restarting Firefox seems to cure it for a while.  Also I often have quite a few large PDF files open and iconified which chews up memory.

 hello all,
 i have oi 151a7, on old Sun Ultra 20, used as home server.
 But when 
 booting, and displaying the login, the mouse and the
 keyboard are 
 unresponsive. I can remote ssh, and use svcadm to restart
 gdm and after 
 several restart, it is ok.
 The first idea was to upgrade to a8, but i can't due to old
 repository 
 like SFE or homeunix:
 
 root at ultra20:~# pkg
 image-update
 Creating Plan | N
 pkg update: The following packages all deliver file actions
 to 
 usr/share/man/man3/SDL_VideoDriverName.3:
 
    pkg://openindiana.org/library/sdl@0.5.11,5.11-0.151.1.9:20140117T202905Z
    pkg://localhost/SFEsdl@1.2.12,5.11-0.111:20100101T173840Z
 
 These packages may not be installed together. Any
 non-conflicting set may
 be, or the packages must be corrected before they can be
 installed.
 ...
 
 ok, now i'm trying to remove all packages from SFE:
 root at ultra20:~# pkg
 uninstall -v SFE*
 Creating Plan |
 pkg uninstall: The requested change to the system attempts
 to install 
 multiple actions
 for dir 'usr/share/locale/es' with conflicting attributes:
 
      2 packages deliver 'dir group=bin
 mode=0755 owner=root 
 path=usr/share/locale/es':
          pkg://homeunix/MBLeasytag@2.1,5.11:20100312T212907Z
  
 pkg://ips.homeunix.com/MBLrecordmysolaris-gtk@0.3.3,5.11:20090811T084959Z
 ...
 These packages may not be installed together.  Any
 non-conflicting set may
 be, or the packages must be corrected before they can be
 installed.

 Is it possible to force uninstall?
 
 thanks in advance,
