After running 148 w/o any problems for ~9 months I recently did an upgrade to 151.
I've now had to power cycle the machine twice. In both instances I was running Firefox and the display froze. No mouse or keyboard response. Nor was I able to trigger a shutdown dialog w/ the power switch. This time when I logged in it announced I'd chosen a new language (WTF is that about?) and wanted to move /home/rhb to /home/rhb/Public. This caused me to check crontab and I found that the automatic update task had been reinstated during the upgrade. Serious demerits for whoever did that. Did I get auto-updated? While I was generally quite impressed by the upgrade process, I am seriously underwhelmed by having my crontab modified. If OpenIndiana is going to "copy Linux" or whatever the phrase was to the point of being unreliable, I might as well just use Linux. I expect systems to stay up for months or years unless I choose to take them down. I also expect upgrades to leave my crontab alone! Does anyone have any guesses as to what might have happened or suggestions of how to collect data? I don't find anything in messages or in syslog, but things have moved around a lot the last 10 years and I haven't really kept up. It did look rather like an X problem, but hard to say w/o a system to login from remotely. Not Happy!
