Subject: [OpenIndiana-discuss] firefox crashes, taking Xorg with it
Message-ID: <20260515211537.Horde._zLf-r7GacJuDcVgCuJ4dJO@webmail.in-berlin.de>

Hi,

I am running firefox 150.0.2 (64-bit) on openindiana 5.11 illumos-a94efd7875
the webbrowser becones slower and slower until it completely crashes, taking
the x-server with it, leaving me with an xdm login page. This is avoidable
with killing firefox daily, but that can't be it.
The box openindiana is running on is a dell optiplex 9020 with 32G ram with a
single socket 4 core 4 cores i5-4590 CPU @ 3.3GHz. Only a few tabs ar open,
around 10 to 12. I just did a full upgrade of oi

The firefox I am using is that from the oi repository server:

Hi,

On my Thinkpad T460 with 16GB of RAM and an i7 processor, Firefox usually crashes before the 5th tab, and some sites make it crash even faster. I've ended up using Librewolf instead; it's more stable (though weirdly I can't set it to French).

Subject: [OpenIndiana-discuss] using Nvidia RTX 5060 with recent OI
Message-ID: <924b035f-bda5-6ae5-ef0e-d05a08de7aec@ndsu.edu>


All-

I'm testing an install of OI 2026.04 on a Dell Pro Tower Plus workstation
with an Nvidia RTX 5060 graphics card.  I need some help figuring out how to
get this card to be recognized by OI.  Right now I'm seeing "driver not
attached", and Xorg doesn't say anything about nvidia in its failed startup
log.  At first I thought the issue was that Dell had put some weird
firmware on the card and the /driver/graphics/nvidia at 595.71.5 didn't
recognize the card, but after spending a couple hours looking at this,
I'm wondering if the issue has more to do with Xorg than the Nvidia
drivers.

Here's what I've done so far:

- LiveUSB couldn't start lightdm, presumably because the (older) Nvidia
   drivers on the Live USB don't include the RTX 50XX series.

- I did a text install from USB, that went fine but it did warn about
   several unrecognized devices, including the Nvidia card.

- I converted the text install to a workstation install with:

 	pkg install driver/graphics/nvidia at 595.71.5-2026.0.0.0
 	pkg install mate_install
 	pkg uninstall mate_install
 	svcadm enable -r lightdm
 	shutdown -i6 -g0 -y

- after rebooting, lightdm again did not start.

- dmesg shows this:

- svcs log for lightdm just has:

- the logs for lightdm show that the X server stops, which is presumably
   the lightdm failure reason:

- as I showed earlier, I have the 595.71.5 driver/graphics/nvidia
   installed, but sysdef indicates that there's no driver attached for
   nvidia or nvidia_modeset:

   $ sysdef | grep -i nvidia
         nvidia, instance #255 (driver not attached)
         nvidia_modeset, instance #0 (driver not attached)
   drv/amd64/nvidia
   drv/amd64/nvidia_modeset


- I used 'lspci -v' on a Linux live boot to quickly find the PCI info
   on the Nvidia card:

                             dev_link=/dev/nvidia0



At this point, I'm not certain what the issue is.  The version of the
/driver/graphics/nvidia that I have installed should support this
card, based upon all the docs I can find.

The 'nv.4' man page for /x11/server/xorg/driver/xorg-video-nv is a little
concerning, since it doesn't mention any recent cards.  Running 'strings'
on the /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/amd64/nv_drv.so also doesn't show
any "RTX 5060" or similar string patterns.  I'm beginning to wonder if the
problem isn't the nvidia drivers themselves but the Xorg server and
its vintage of xorg-video-nv

I would love to get the GUI working so I can test what other drivers
are missing.  This system could potentially be a replacement for my
aging work OI workstation, but I need to figure out what works and what
doesn't.

If I somehow missed providing some info that would be useful, please let
me know.

Thanks,

Tim

This card should be supported by the driver/graphics/nvidia-580 driver
too (currently at 580.159.4).  So maybe it is worth trying it to see if
there is any difference.

Hi Tim,

Your Mail made me checking on my HP Z4 G4 and Z6 G4 workstations with 
NVIDIA graphics cards.
My Z4 G4 has an RTX 5000 Turing generation (so 3 generations older than 
your RTX 5060) while
my Z6 G4 has an RTX 4000 Turing. Both machines have our default 470 
NVIDIA driver installed.

While my Z4 G4 still works fine with the latest illumos-gate:
???? uname -a
SunOS goliath 5.11 illumos-08292a06bd i86pc i386 i86pc

my Z6 G4 starts to have problems with X11 starting with
???? uname -a
SunOS colossus 5.11 illumos-f2934b008e i86pc i386 i86pc
from May 19th, 2026.

The last working boot environment is
???? uname -a
SunOS colossus 5.11 illumos-5425aa59e8 i86pc i386 i86pc
from May 14th, 2026.


So I suspect one of the illumos-gate changes to be problematic for this

Because of the non-starting xorg-server I realized other warning 
messages that only seem to be written to the console and not to any log 
file:
i40e1: DL_ATTACH_REQ failed: DL_SYSERR (errno 22)
i40e1: DL_BIND_REQ failed: DL_OUTSTATE
i40e1: DL_PHYS_ADD_REQ failed: DL_OUTSTATE
i40e1: DL_BIND_UNBIND_REQ failed: DL_OUTSTATE

This seems to be an unrelated problem because I'll get the same with the 
working BE.
i40e is the driver for the 2nd 1G network interface on the Z6 G4 and it 
used to work in the past.
At the moment I am only using its 1st network interface which is driven 
by e1000g.

Andreas

Thanks Marcel, I appreciate the response.

Based upon Andreas' comments in his response, I'm considering trying an
older copy of the text install.  If I do, I'll try the nvidia-580 instead
of nvidia latest, assuming I can figure out how to install components
*without* doing a full update.

I've been using OI hipster a long time, so I understand the rolling
release nature and the intent that everything is updated rather than
picking and choosing just components to update.  In this case, though,
for testing I'll want to install components that are not latest.

Thanks,

Tim

Thanks for the response Andreas, I appreciate it.

So it sounds like at least the Nvidia GPU issue I'm running into may
be a recent problem that will likely require some debugging with the
Illumos folks.

The problem for me is that I'm trying to answer the question "will this
specific Dell hardware configuration my coworkers ordered work well for
OI for me", and it's a bit time-sensitive because my workplace's fiscal
end of year is coming up soon.  If I'm going to be able to order another
copy of this hardware for my use, I need to figure out all of the
unsupported hardware and decide how critical each item is for my purposes.

I know an older version of the Live media won't work for testing, because
it uses older nvidia drivers that don't support this card.

Tonight I tried the 2025.10 text installer, but I was completely stymied
trying to install nvidia drivers or convert it from text to workstation
via mate_install.

I understand hipster's rolling release model and why that's really the
only option with our number of contributors.  For testing, though, I
thought I would be able to do something like:

 	install from text_install 2025.10
 	pkg list | grep userland-incorp

to get the version of userland-incorporation for the 2025.10 install (it was
0.5.11-2025.0.0.31598), and then

 	pkg contents -m userland-incorporation | egrep nvidia

and then install the exact version of the nvidia (580) drivers that
the current userland-incorporation has as a version lock:

depend facet.version-lock.driver/graphics/nvidia=true fmri=driver/graphics/nvidia at 580.95.5-2025.0.0.0 type=incorporate

However, that was still blocked.

I eventually tried removing userland-incorporation (and entire), but I
still wasn't able to make any progress getting a recent driver installed
without doing a full update.

Unless someone has some idea for how to convert a pre-2026.04 text install
to the 580 drivers, it looks like I'm blocked for now.

Thanks,

Tim

Hello!

Hint:

sudo pkg refresh

sudo pkg uninstall xorg-video nvidia
sudo pkg install xorg-video nvidia-580

.. and reboot.

Hello!

The recommended way is to pkg update the system first.

In the past i installed the Solaris driver from nvidia, but that was 
years ago...

https://download.nvidia.com/solaris/580.159.04/

This is a shell snipplet to get the idea:

pfexec beadm list
pfexec beadm create oi-nvidia-$1
pfexec beadm mount oi-nvidia-$1 /mnt
pfexec pkg -R /mnt uninstall -r driver/graphics/nvidia
pfexec /bin/sh NVIDIA-Solaris-x86-580.159.04.run --extract-only
cd NVIDIA-Solaris-x86-580.159.04
pfexec pkgadd -R /mnt -d . NVDAgraphics NVDAgraphicsr
pfexec bootadm update-archive -R /mnt
pfexec beadm unmount -f oi-nvidia-$1
pfexec beadm activate oi-nvidia-$1
pfexec reboot -p

No guarantees for shure, its highly experimental.

Regards,

Stephan

Using 2025.10 will not work; you'll need to use a 2026.04 install image 
because I have cleaned the repository after the release. So package 
versions installed and referenced by older installation images might be 
unavailable. 2026.04 should be fine, though. You only need to freeze the 
osnet-incorporation packge by
pfexec pkg freeze osnet-incorporation
This will make sure that you don't accidentially upgrade to a newer 
illumos-userland version.
If you are brave you might update to the osnet-incorporation of May 
12th, which is fine for my Z6.

I already have tried to isolate the problematic PR from illumos-gate but 
reverting neither
18103 ena: validate device-supplied register offsets and descriptor indices
nor
18108 libtopo reports the wrong errno on enumeration failure
fixed the situation for my Z6 and I don't know how to create a working 
patch for
18106 Update AMD microcode to 20251202
which is binary.

Andreas

That confirms what I suspected when I started trying to interact with
2025.10.  I could see missing versions of userland-incorporation.

Ah, good idea.  I've now

 	- reinstalled 2026.04 text install
 	- done the

 		pkg freeze osnet-incorporation

 	- installed and removed mate_install

 		pkg install mate_install
 		reboot
 		pkg uninstall mate_install

 	- installed nvidia-580

 		pkg uninstall xorg-video nvidia-470
 		pkg install nvidia-580
 		reboot

However, I am currently blocked from reinstalling xorg-video.  Every
time I try with nvidia-580 installed already, I get

Planning: Checking for conflicting actions ... Done (0.468s)
            Packages to install:  2
        Create boot environment: No

           Rebuild boot archive: No

Changed packages:
openindiana.org

   x11/server/xorg/driver/xorg-video
     None -> 1-2024.0.0.0

pkg install: The following packages all deliver driver actions to nvidia:

   pkg://openindiana.org/driver/graphics/nvidia-470 at 470.256.2,5.11-2024.0.0.0:20240605T164150Z

These packages cannot be installed together. Any non-conflicting subset
of the above packages can be installed.




and many additional conflicts.

When I run

 	pkg contents -m xorg-video

I see as the last line:

depend fmri=driver/graphics/nvidia-390 fmri=driver/graphics/nvidia-340 fmri=driver/graphics/nvidia-470 fmri=driver/graphics/nvidia type=require-any

It looks like the meta-packages/xorg-video/xorg-video.p5m
probably needs a few updates and xorg-video needs a component rebuild.  Do
you want *all* the missing nvidia-XXX options added and a pull request
submitted for that, or is it faster for you to just tackle it?

Since the unversioned (in the component name) fmri=driver/graphics/nvidia
*is* listed, the @595 driver would still be an option, but that's probably
my only option.

Tomorrow I'll probably try the 595 drivers and updating just to an
osnet-incorporation version from approximately May 12th, since I'm blocked
on any of the nvidia-5XX drivers.

Am I reading the commit incorrectly, or is it actually an update to
20260416 *from* 20251202?

Thanks for the suggestions and the pkg freeze idea.  I'll report back if
the nvidia at 595 drivers from the frozen install work, but right now I'm
not very hopeful.

Simply uninstall xorg-video. That should be possible and then you should 
be able to install any nvidia driver.

That's the state the workstation is in right now.

nvidia-580 is installed, but xorg-video is not.

Based upon the steps in our documentation and the idiom that most people
seem to use when switching versions of the nvidia driver, I had assumed
that re-installing xorg-video after switching to a different nvidia
version was required to make to make Xorg server work.

If Xorg server and lightdm should work *without* xorg-video installed,
I'll proceed with testing that.

xorg-video is just a meta package that ensures that a couple of other 
packages get installed.
You should look at its sources.

Oof, I should have realized that before when I was actually looking at
the p5m file...  Now it makes sense.

Thanks for the info.

Subject: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Firefox with an external password manager
Message-ID: <ahxKVRu36YKbishw@imap.fastmail.com>

I recently upgraded the OS, from a 2024 upgrade, on my usual
workstation, and got a new Firefox version as a result.  The good news
is that almost everything still works as before.  I did notice one
change in Firefox.  It no longer works with my external password
manager, pwsafe.  Instead, Firefox seems to absorb both my userid and
password from pwsafe, and discard them.  I can still copy and paste
both of them, using my mouse keys.  Firefox can no longer get them
directly from my password manager.

What could be the problem?  Is there a solution?
