In regard to: Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] installing pthreads for compiling,...:
In looking at the Hipster package manager I see that this package is "system_display-manager_lightdm_gtk-greeter.p5i" but I do not know what is in a p5i file nor how to decompress it to get just the binaries that I can copy over to test it along with the slim option to see which looks better.
Since you have OI installed and running, can't you just install the login greeter and use 'pkg contents' to get the contents and then use some scripting to total up its size on disk? Or would that pull in way too much stuff?
On a good side note, I have installed OpenIndiana on a native partition so that I can do some development on both the OpenIndiana and SmartOS projects and REALLY like the OpenIndiana OS running on a native partition. Already, I am seeing myself rebooting into my previous Ubuntu 18.04 less and less. If I could find a way so that OpenIndiana could see my Ubuntu 18.04 "ext4" partition so that I cold access some of those files then I might even try to stay with running OpenIndiana always. Any ideas on how to see or mount the partition since the OI file manager does not see it by default.
That's been discussed in the past, you might want to do some searching in the mailing list archives. It's probably a couple years back in the archives, if I had to guess. There is no native driver for OI to support ext2/ext3/ext4. Apparently the filesystem in userspace (FUSE) code worked at one point, but IIRC it's not currently working. That would likely be the easiest approach to get minimal access to ext volumes, but again, I don't think it's working right now.
