hi

can anyone say me the login username and password for openindindiana actuell? jack doesnt work

If you are using the new GUI installer image then there is another problem. The X11 session crashes for an unknown reason. We are investigating this.

okay

i use the livecd

OI-hipster-gui-20250402.iso

which version works? ftp.gtlib.gatech.edu/pub/OpenIndiana/dlc/isos/hipster

This mirror is out of date. We had releases roughly every 6 months.

have you a link to the last working version?

The primary download server is dlc.openindiana.org/isos/hipster

should do.

thx

:-D

I do all my installations with the text versions and manually add all GUI related things.

under debian i do it too

I have ansible scripts for that (after some initial steps to make ssh logins possible).

but im a solaris newbie

I have different roles (bare, desktop, and build system).

Solaris is to become a router + webdav server

The welcome to illumos / OpenIndiana.

thx

Interesting, why do you intend to use OI for that?

because the filesystem zfs for webdav files

its the same machine

its a try

I guess if you want to use an illumos based distribution for that it's better to use OmniOS.

what is better at OmniOS?

OmniOS is like OI without the desktop part. Because it's dedicated for server use. And thus it has stable releases and optional paid support.

i want xserver login via lan

for the login i use a extra lanport to my office

OmniOS has an additional repository (omnios-extra) with several interesting packages, eg. x11.

It doesn't have libreoffice and such but base X11 is working if you want.

I'll do the first test with hipster

but thx for the information

good luck.

what is the root pw?

There is no root pw unless you set one. If you did not set one you will have to use pfexec to elevate privs

As you have a rootless install

okay

Even more, root is only a role. You have to change it into a user before you can login as root.

So, you'd need pfexec rolemod -K type=normal root

the roles can not login, you can only assume role via su, but only if your usename has this role assigned (see roles command). Therefore, even if you know the role password, you can not assume the role if it is not assigned to your account. This is all nice for security. And then you have sudo, which allows you to do whatever you like to.

sudo can also be limited in a lot of ways. It's just a matter of configuration.
