Description

Steps to reproduce:

1. Install oi151a text. Reboot.

2. Login. Run:

# pkg install time-slider
# svcadm enable -r time-slider

3. Obtain error. Time-slider put in "maintenance" mode. This is caused by the default security settings in dbus not allowing time-slider to configure itself.

Workaround:
After installing time-slider, restart the dbus service (or reboot the computer).

Proposed solution:
Include a service dependency in the SMF manifest to force a restart of dbus after a successful install of time-slider.

Not a bug. Once you install time-slider (>0.2.97), best to reboot system for all services to enable properly.
enable sudo or root privs, then:
$ svcadm enable auto-snapshot:frequent
$ svcadm enable auto-snapshot:hourly
$ svcadm enable auto-snapshot:daily
$ svcadm enable auto-snapshot:weekly
$ svcadm enable auto-snapshot:monthly
$ svcadm enable time-slider/plugin:zfs-send
$ svcadm enable time-slider/plugin:rsync
$ svcadm enable time-slider
$ reboot
$ zfs list -t snapshot

Hit this (or similar) problem with a recent OI Hipster:

Time-slider package version is:

pkg://openindiana.org/desktop/time-slider@0.2.101-2016.0.1.107:20161018T160201Z

And it just declares no dependency on DBus (shouldn't it? or would that deadlock somehow?), which started after time-slider had already failed :

jim@jimoi:~$ svcs -d time-slider
STATE          STIME    FMRI
online         23:11:35 svc:/milestone/multi-user:default

jim@jimoi:~$ svcs dbus time-slider
STATE          STIME    FMRI
online         23:11:47 svc:/system/dbus:default
maintenance    23:11:37 svc:/application/time-slider:default

And now it is just restartable to fix:

jim@jimoi:~$ sudo svcadm clear time-slider

jim@jimoi:~$ svcs dbus time-slider
STATE          STIME    FMRI
online         23:11:47 svc:/system/dbus:default
online         23:30:14 svc:/application/time-slider:default
