OpenIndiana Hipster 2020.04 is here


We have released a new OpenIndiana Hipster snapshot 2020.04. The noticeable changes:
  • All remaining OI-specific applications have been ported from Python 2.7 to 3.5, including Caiman (slim_source) installer.
  • Installation images now don’t ship Python 2.7, however some software can still depend on it.
  • GCC 7 is used as the main system compiler now.
  • Libreoffice 6.4 was added.
  • PKG was updated to use rapidjson instead of simplejson for json processing which reduced memory consumption on operations with large package catalogues.
  • A lot of packages were updated.
More information can be found in 2020.04 Release notes and new medias can be downloaded from http://dlc.openindiana.org.

Android tethering to Openindiana laptops

One major problem with using Opensolaris was the lack of drivers for mobile 3G modems However with the development of tethering on Android (Froyo 2.2 and above) Openindiana can now been used very easily with laptops on the 3G/4G networks. In Android go to settings,wireless networks,check the boxes marked tethering and mobile networks.This will create a mobile hotspot from your Android Phone. In OI go to the network section at the top right of the screen and manually select the HTC network in this case.You may have to wait a few seconds for it to configure. A notification will show at the top of your screen to show you are connected to the 3 G network via your Android phone.
