This is basically my7 experience, too.
And noone seems to have any idea about why these Gnome problems ACTUALLY
occur.

Not to blame anyone, but IMO every next OI release becomes less stable

The latest release which works stable for me is 151a7. 151a8 also
worked, though I could not configure network interface using GUI tool
in it (after disabling "nwam" and enabling "default").
Then 151a9 was released. After upgrading my 32-bit production server,
it simply did not boot. It gone into infinite boot loop at the very
early stage of the boot process. OK, who needs a decade-old 32-bit
hardware (which though worked like a clockwork with 151a7, and had 3GB
of RAM, not the very minimum)... I have upgraded my hardware. Now it
is 64-bit.
I have started from 151a7, not 8 (to avoid hassle with setting static
IP address manually in various config files - I could miss something
and spend much more time to do this simple setting). OK, 151a7 is
working fine. Upgrading to 151a9... GNOME degraded. No upper toolbar,
no lower status bar, no Nimbus theme, just background image and mouse
pointer. Right-click menu is working though.
There was an advice to reinstall gvfs. Tried in a test virtualbox
setup. This worked in reverse! In /virtualbox/, 151a7 /successfully/
upgraded to 151a9. Though in vbox the upgrade went successfully, I
have tried if reinstalling gvfs is safe (before trying it at
production server). Booted into single user mode, log in as root, and did
# pkg uninstall gvfs
# pkg install gvfs
And rebooted. What do you think? GNOME degraded. In the same way as in
the production server. Reinstalling gvfs caused exactly the same
symptoms which it intended to cure.
If someone knows how to upgrade 151a7 to 151a9, please post step-by
step instructions.
Regards,
Dmitry.
