Hi
My dual opteron motherboard finally died, so I had to build a new
workstation based on a Ryzen 5 5600X.
Once the workstation was built, I started the Openindiana install,
downloading the 2020 October text based iso.
Very happy with the installation, no problems there as I wanted to
create a mirrorred boot pair of SSDs.
After completing the Openindiana install on the mirrored pair, I
performed a pkg refresh, then a pkg update creating a new BE.
After completing the update and I performed pkg install mate_install it
worked fine, though I have noticed a couple of things.
1) when performing a pkg install/update the create plan can take a very,
very long time compared to the Dual Opteron 2435 workstation.
Things that took seconds or worse a few minutes can now take
hours...(literally being left over night)
2) When I attempted to replace the Nvidia-390 driver with the Nvidia-460
driver, by removing the Nvidia-390 driver it has a dependency on nvidia
pkg, attempting to remove nvidia pkg results in a warning that the mate
install depends on pkg nvidia.
How can upgrade to the Nvidia-460 driver?
Regards
Russell
