Adoble Flash troubles on 9.2-RELEASE
Hi, The current linux-f10-flashplugin-11.2r202.310 version has some troubles on my machine (with Firefox). Sometimes, when a flash component is displayed and you scroll a bit the window the flash break and goes grey, you're forced to reload the page. I'm using the Intel new KMS driver if that matters, note that it never happened on my 9.1-RELEASE. Is anyone having a similar issue?

Re: Adoble Flash troubles on 9.2-RELEASE
If you really need to visit sites that need Adobe Flash, you perhaps should use the google-chrome browser. For some websites with flash content, we don't need flash anymore, just modern HTML5 capable web browsers. For *nix there never will be a current version for flashplayer again. ___ 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

Since I'm using my computer for audio production my FreeBSD isn't maintained, I need to use Linux, so I don't know if Chrome is available for FreeBSD. When I google (resp. startpage.com search) for FreeBSD and Chrome, it seems to be that the hits aren't about Chrome, but Chromium instead. Chromium doesn't include Adobe Flash, https://code.google.com/p/chromium/wiki/ChromiumBrowserVsGoogleChrome . Sorry for the noise. At least we could use Adobe Flash by Chrome with FreeBSD in a virtual machine running a Linux instead of a Windows guest. Or is Chrome available for FreeBSD too? Perhaps you should post the links that don't work with the latest Linux version of Adobe Flash, so others could test if the issue is really caused by Flash Player and not by something else.

Maybe graphics/librsvg2 is better suited (even though it's version 2 of the library). The problem initially mentions will remain: lots of installation dependencies. Sadly, that seems to be normal today as modern software tends to rely on layers of libraries of abstraction of tools of utilities of stuff of layers of layers of other abstractions. :-) As you see: gnome-desktop and gtk20. That should bring your warning lights up: lots of dependencies ahead! When you try to install a simple desktop environment, you'll be confronted with hundreds of packages to be installed, some of them you've probably never had thought of in regards of what you need to install a desktop, such as two or more different databases, LaTeX, translators, and other surprising stuff. This will probably apply to most complex components and parts of desktop environments or X11 toolkits (as mentioned above). As I mentioned, the librsvg2 port will install lib/librsvg-2.so. It might require you to re-install your target application to link against that library. A library libsvg.so (without version number) doesn't seem to be in the ports tree by that name. My lazy man's method of searching what port might contain the library: Midnight Commander, go to /usr/ports, Meta-?, seach in pkg-plist, search for text librsvg and examine the results with PF3. This method relies on approaches that might be wrong... :-) Note that my (locally installed) ports tree is not up to date anymore so you should consider performing a search on a recent tree to make sure I didn't miss anything. Thanks Polytropon, but the one I needed was this: x11-toolkits/py-gnome-desktop/pkg-plist:%%PYTHON_SITELIBDIR%%/gtk-2.0/ rsvg.so I have given in, let it install all 80 ports, saved the one shlib I need and deleted the ports again.

FreeBSD, Centos and ZFS

Not a super system, but not a shabby one either. Used local (non network) IOzone and dd tests for some simple prelim testing just to gauge were I'm at with this bad boy. My ZFS tunables are the same BTW as I did some tweaks. My CentOS 6.4 box is a solid 20-30% faster then my FreeBSD 9.2 box. I've the graphs if any one is interested. But I'm hoping that some one has ran into this and that yes, there are some tweaks one can do to the LSI driver? I guess? Perhaps a sysctl value? I didn't want to vomit too much info in my first email about this so yes, its meant to be some what general with some decent info to get the dialogue started. Many thanks in advance for any insight.

Re: Do I really have to install 80 packages?
I don't know what others think, but what *I* really want is that the free software versions of Flash (gnash and klash, etc) work at least as well as versions of Adobe Flash do, or if versions of Adobe Flash are to be used, that it will be free and covered by the GPL. Its unlikely to happen unless we start a campaign among the Free Software users of the world to make Flash free software. Yes, I know HTML 5 is just around the corner, but we've seen a concerted effort already (in the European Parliament at least) to introduce DRM into HTML 5 and though it may make using Flash marginally easier, it would be a retrograde step if DRM is to be introduced. So what are we left with? Free software to replicate what Flash does (at least) that does not have the taint of proprietary software? Is that not an achievable goal? I can't code but would be willing to join a project with those achievable goals, but it hasn't appeared yet, so I don't seriously expect it will happen any time soon. ++ Graham Todd signature.asc Description: PGP signature

That's a 64 bit CPU, if I remember correctly. The AMD64 version should run fine. But as you are a little bit low on RAM, you might consider using the i386 version (32 bit version) if you don't _need_ to run any 64 bit application. Especially as you've mentioned to run EXE files, this might be the better solution. From what I've heared, wine (the Windows compatibility pack) runs better on i386 than on amd64. (I'm running it myself on the i386 OS on a 64 bit system without any problems.) im always in internet watching live camers,what do you suggest me to use os type? Is this via web? In this case, only the web browser matters. The typical candidates Firefox and Chrome should be fine. The OS does not matter here. If you need a proprietary program to watch the live cameras, often available only for an outdated Windows version, running it with (the mentioned) wine should work. (I've successfully tried something like that with a program to watch CCTV cameras via Internet.) i like to save pictures and videos and never lost them,if you think your os is gonna spoil and lost my all files then i dont need it. Definitely no problem. But keep in mind: _You_ are responsible for creating backups! FreeBSD offers excellent tools to do so, no matter if you want to backup to disks, DVDs, the Cloud, or even to old-fashioned tape. Saving pictures from videos is no problem. There is mplayer and mencoder. It plays, records and converts _everything_. i want stable os and never to reinstall or update That approach is unreasonable, I think. You _should_ update when security updates become available. It's in _your_ interest to do so, because effciency, security and usability improves from version to version. Luckily, FreeBSD has an easy way of updating the OS. It's _independent_ (!) from your installed applications and of course from your data. You can also decide to update your programs independently. However, a install once, then keep using scenario is easily possible with FreeBSD. (My home system has been installed in summer 2011 and worked _flawlessly_ since that point, never touch a running system.) I suggest you make yourself familiar with FreeBSD by using the resources from http://www.freebsd.org/ and you _might_ also want to check out PC-BSD (might be perfect for what you want) and VirtualBSD (easy way to try it out without installing it). -- 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

Around 1 GiB could be ok, but also be not enough RAM, but it seems not to be an issue. im always in internet watching live camers,what do you suggest me to use os type?i like to save pictures and videos Free/libre and open source software does less good support proprietary codecs and software. At the moment there is a thread about Adobe Flash on this list. The best choice could be Windows, perhaps installed as guest to a virtual machine, so that you always can restore it by using snapshots. and never lost them,if you think your os is gonna spoil and lost my all files then i dont need it.i want stable os and never to reinstall or update For multimedia Linux might be better than FreeBSD. Neither Linux, nor FreeBSD tend to lose data, you even shouldn't lose data when using one of Microsoft's less good Windows versions. It's more likely that users have less good backup and archiving strategies. If you want to consume multimedia by the Internet, you likely need to install security updates and software to use stuff based on proprietary software. You could set up a text editor and never need to update or to reinstall something, but the Internet and consuming multimedia likely need updates from time to time. Start an adventure ;), nobody will give you a guarantee, self-responsibility is a catchword for free/libre and open source software. FreeBSD and Linux are similar operating systems, on both kernels more or less the same multimedia applications do run, but the more recent versions are provided by Linux and multimedia is better supported for Linux. I'm an Arch Linux user, it's similar to FreeBSD regarding to a port like system, however, for your needs IMO Debian Linux stable release might be the less risky choice.

First of all, keep in mind you're walking corporate territory here. No company will give you anything for free, and even if it looks free, there's a catch somewhere. Flash as a technology is dying. It didn't make the transition to the growing mobile markets. That's why Adobe does not continue its Linux line of product - a completely reasoname business decision. People who use, or to be correct, _abuse_ Flash as a replace- ment for markup and content are not interested in bringing their product to your attention and reception. What I'd like to see would be a Flash plugin integrated in the web browser, with the option of being switched off. I'd consider it a 1st class citizen by demanding that is has the same status as embedded media, centered text, a PNG image or a hyperlink, being a functional module of the web browser like the renderer, the CSS interpreter, the JS interpreter or something like that. Could you imagine to install a pro- prietary plugin to be able to see a JPG image? To see text centered? To click on a hyperlink? And all the time keep in mind that it is backdoored? Hmmm... Its unlikely to happen unless we start a campaign among the Free Software users of the world to make Flash free software. That won't happen. Flash is the property of a corporation. The only alternative I see is that this corporation would donate the product, releasing all the sources and abandoning all involved lawyer-crap. But that won't happen. I think most companies better close away the stuff they won't develop anymore instead of handing it over to a community. Yes, I know HTML 5 is just around the corner, but we've seen a concerted effort already (in the European Parliament at least) to introduce DRM into HTML 5 and though it may make using Flash marginally easier, it would be a retrograde step if DRM is to be introduced. As far as I know, DRM will be covered by the upcoming standard. This means it will be _possible_ to implement DRM solutions in HTML. _Using_ them - that's a totally different field. Keep in mind an important thing: Alternatives for Flash have been around for a decade at least. Video, audio, interaction - all possible without it. It's not just about the browser plugin (the player), it's also about the creative tools that people use to produce the stuff. Those tools are offered usually in expensive commercially distributed suites. As soon as developers and creators get aware of alternatives that they can learn and use for free, they _might_ change, but only if the mindset changes. It's not just about those tools, it's also about file formats. What I'm talking about is media codecs. Some of them offer DRM capabilites, others don't. Some of them are highly infected with patents and other lawyer-crap. There are reasons why some systems and environments can play various formats out of the box, and others can't. Which formats are efficient for use with the Internet? Which offer scaling and streaming capabilities, important for mobile users who demand lower quality, less data transfer, and tolerance to higher latency? Which codecs can make use of a decoder made in hardware? _This_ problem also has to be solved! Now put this back into relation with my initial idea of making that kind of content decoder part of the web browser. The same way you see a JPG image on a web page and click on a hyperlink... It should be easy, but sadly it isn't. HTML5 tries to solve those problems. Its markup will be better suited for handling media content, plus CSS and JS will be important players on the interaction field. There are already projects that utilize those tools, and _developer tools_ as well as _creator tools_ will be present. Maybe they will even be present for free. YouTube can do fine without Flash already. Online games in HTML5 are appearing. On the other hand, Flash is a no-go on mobile, and mobile is becoming more and more important to consumers. Additionally, more and more people become aware of the danger of proprietary software (in regards of privacy and corporate control, as well as an improving understanding of what DRM does to their freedom). It will take some time to show significant effect. Let's hope people are going to get smarter than I assume. :-) So what are we left with? Free software to replicate what Flash does (at least) that does not have the taint of proprietary software? Is that not an achievable goal?
