Replaced Solaris 11.4 whose updates are extremely difficult to get with OpenIndiana 2024 and updated it on 31 March 2025. Installed Mate. Four problems arised:
Black screen during bootstrap until X starts.
Firefox can't play certain videos (e.g. http://youtu.be/8uMRa60nhKg).
Today, after "sudo pkg update", I got "pkg: unable to activate openindiana-2025:04:02". *
- Sites using "infinite scrolling" may make Firefox allocate memory until the whole OS crashes.
*) The "sudo beadm activate -v openindiana-2025:04:02" command responds with the following:
