Even though this page is slow as (insert slow stuff) on loading and polluted with ads, it plays totally fine with Opera, installed in summer 2011. This is since almost 3 years ago. Using Flash is way harder than it needs to be on FreeBSD. You are right about this. It should be a selectable (switchable) function of the browser. Do you have a proprietary plugin to have text in blue color? One to display PNG images? Another one to render text centered? No? If Flash is used instead of HTML, or as an excuse for not being able or willing to use HTML properly, and if lawyers keep fighting their patent war on codecs, then Flash is not the problem per se - it's the way it is (ab)used. Imagine you could treat it as a first class browser functionality. Like displaying images or rendering text. You want to use it? It's already part of the browser, properly maintained to work with the browser, indepdent of lower-level system components. You do _not_ want to see any Flash stuff? One click to disable it. That would be the ideal solution, as it is possible with _everything else_ except Flash. You hear FreeBSD users who claim that they never use Flash, which in itself is an interesting statement. No, it's not that interesting. For example, I have kept two browsers in the past: Firefox with no Flash, and Opera with Flash. So whenever a non-Flash experience was desired, I just switched the browser, and no Flash has been used. Also, for specific things, using programs to download video and then watch it locally with mplayer (much more comfortable than all those web players) has been possible for many years. If it doesn't work, then obviously you cannot take advantage of it. I suspect at least 50% of them are liars. The rest are more than likely expressing their sour-grapes wrath. That's quite possible. The real goal should be to get it working and working correctly and as easily as other Operating Systems have. I actually don't know where the problem is: It _is_ working correctly and easily as on other operating systems and even in comparison to Windows. The world is not going to adapt to your specifications, you have to adapt to its or else fall by the wayside. And those who _always_ go with the flow will never reach the source. ;-) To educated people, Flash is just a tool, and they can answer the question what it is good for, and what it is not the tool for, and additionally how to properly use it. Considering that Flash has had 4 hits among the top 10 of security threats, like Gain access to a system and execute arbitrary code with local user privileges. Gain access to sensitive data.

There's hope in browsers implementing the Flash-like functionalities using HTML5, which has become important due to the growing markets in tablets and smartphones (the mobile web where Flash doesn't play a significant role). One of the problems is media codecs (where lawyers fight), another one is the availability of design and development environments for non-technical users who normally use pirated copies of some Adobe programs to create Flash content for (or instead of) HTML-based web pages. Those who actually _pay_ for their tools often tend to deliver a much better user experience even by using Flash. As I said, it's just a tool, but a tool by itself doesn't get the work done, you need to properly use it. Flash is already on its way into the coffin, it will be much more profitable (and essential to stay in business) to publish content in a more portable way. In my opinion, HTML5 is the way to go, as soon as they got the mentioned main problems out of the way. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

If fact it does nothing. This is to be expected. When you press the power switch, a signal will be sent to the OS which causes a custom action, which in most cases is to shutdown the system and then power it off. This is what shutdown -p now does. When you use shutdown -h now the system will be shut down. When you _then_ press the button, there's nothing left to act. Your only choice is to hold the button for about 4 seconds which will cause a hardware switch-off. Just a question: Why don't you simply press the button from out of a safe system state (e. g. when you've logged out)? It will cause the ACPI message system to tell the OS to shut down and power off - which you seem to intend. For example, I've programmed Ctrl+Alt+Moon on my Sun USB keyboard to exactly perform that action. But I can press the button at any time to have the same operation performed. I'm guessing that this relates to some BIOS setting that I need to diddle, but which one? Something to do with ACPI? Usually the BIOS settings are okay for the normal case: to send the shutdown + poweroff signal. However, you can select the other variant, immediately power off (forced power off) in the CMOS setup. Pressing the button, even with a running OS, will then switch the machine off, no matter in which state it is. I'm ignorant about this stuff. Guidance would be appreciated. Thanks. In the past, this kind of operation has been performed via APM. When APM has been fully supported, it was abolished and replaced by ACPI. At the time ACPI is fully working, standard-compliant and supported among all the many vendors, it will be obsoleted by something different, probably UEFI, and the fun restarts. :-) P.S. I *did* hook up the case power switch correctly. It does do the Right Thing when I'm just in the BIOS. This is also to be expected: In the BIOS, and _any_ stage prior to loading the OS, there will be only one thing the button can do: power the system off immediately. But running FreeBSD seems to cause it (the case power switch) to be ignored. Check the BIOS settings, the switch should be programmed to something like soft power-off, it's the other thing to whatever caption has been chosen for immediately power off (forced by the 4 second press). When in FreeBSD, pressing the button should shutdown the system and then power it off. Allow this process few seconds to work. You can easily examine if it's working properly when you have a look at the system messages on ttyv0. I cannot remember the correct messages because I'm too lazy to press this switch when Ctrl+Alt+Moon is so much more comfortable - thank you, Sun Microsystems. :-) If this does _not_ happen, the BIOS setting makes the button send the wrong message (maybe sleep or some other strange ACPI stuff). ## Aloha .. Poly and Ron, FYI: I have a box with FreeBSD 10.* on it for testing networks and gateways. It fails to shutdown by pressing the power button after the 4 seconds the screen fills with junk codes and the only way to turn the unit off is by the power switch on the power supply or pulling the plug. With FreeBSD 8 or below on this box you could shutdown from the 4 second power switch function as expected. I wouldn't use this box in a production setting. ~Al Plant - Honolulu, Hawaii - Phone: 808-284-2740 + http://hawaiidakine.com + http://freebsdinfo.org + + http://aloha50.net - Supporting - FreeBSD 7.2 - 8.0 - 9* + email: n...@hdk5.net All that's really worth doing is what we do for others.- Lewis Carrol ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Re: using pax command for archive restore

Joe fb...@a1poweruser.com said:
J I archive using the pax command like this
J pax -wzXt -x cpio -f ${archive_path_file} ${ip_path_file} ${ip_path_dir}
J and restore
J pax -rz -pe -f ${archive_path_file}
J and it restores the contents back to the same location it came from
J which is what I want. Now I would like to restore that archive file to
J a different directory. This has to be simple, but I can't see the trees
J because the forest is in the way. What am I missing here?
I use pax all the time, and it's much easier to do what you want if you
use it from a relative directory as part of a pipeline. When creating
the archive:
you% cd /some/place
you% find . -depth -print | /prog/to/remove-crap |
pax -wd -x cpio | gzip -c /tmp/x.pax.gz
When reading it:
you% cd /other/place
you% gunzip -c /tmp/x.pax.gz | pax -r -pe
Why do the compression outside of pax? Because now you have a choice
of gzip -1c (fast compression), bzip2 (better compression), xz (*way*
better compression), etc. If you have a ton of files to move, you can
break up the list:
you% cd /some/place
you% mkdir /tmp/work /tmp/copy
you% find . -depth -print | /prog/to/remove-crap | split - /tmp/work/x
you% for file in /tmp/work/x*; do
b=`basename $file`
pax -wd -x cpio $file | gzip -c /tmp/copy/$b.pax.gz
scp /tmp/copy/$b.pax.gz wherever# and remove it
rm $file
done
