Hi When I try the following
# beadm create nvidia-460 # beadm mount nvidia-460 /tmp/nvidia-460 # pkg -R /tmp/nvidia-460 uninstall xorg-video nvidia nvidia-390 Creating Plan (Solver setup): - pkg uninstall: Unable to remove 'x11/server/xorg/driver/xorg-video@0.5.11-2020.0.1.2' due to the following packages that depend on it: mate_install@0.1-2020.0.1.42 If I remove mate_install I can not re-install it as it requires nvidia-390 # pkg -R /tmp/nvidia-460 uninstall xorg-video nvidia nvidia-390 mate_install Packages to remove: 7 Services to change: 2 PHASE ITEMS Removing old actions 862/862 Updating package state database Done Updating package cache 7/7 Updating image state Done Creating fast lookup database Done root@tesla:/home/russell# pkg -R /tmp/nvidia-460 install nvidia-460 mate_install Creating Plan (Checking for conflicting actions): \ pkg install: The following packages all deliver driver actions to nvidia_modeset: pkg://openindiana.org/driver/graphics/nvidia-460@0.460.67,5.11-2020.0.1.0:20210319T142607Z pkg://openindiana.org/driver/graphics/nvidia-390@0.390.141,5.11-2020.0.1.0:20210311T151457Z There is a hardcoded dependency on the nvidia-390 driver On 03/23/21 11:12 AM, russell wrote:
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?

Hello! Thanks to John to point out this possibility of changing the nvidia driver version and avoid intermediate reboots. _______________________________________________ openindiana-discuss mailing list openindiana-discuss@openindiana.org https://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
