EVOLUTION SLOW START , a workaround
Hello all
This week I have time to trace the problem with evolution that
lasts too much time to start.
The problem is that glib on function g_module_load, searchs for a symbol
g_module_check_init, g_module_unload... by default.
It occurs that the evolution code, that will be loaded, does not have
those functions available... so th glib (and dlsym) tries to find the
symbol in every load module in memory... and doing so consumes all cpu
for several seconds, for each load module
! coded a solution for gmodule that tests for those special symbos, and
if found, uses dlsymb(RTLD_NEXT,) instead of dlsym(handler)
so it will search a much less modules, and evolution will start in 3
seconds... (20 times less...)
Of course the correct strategy is to correct code evolution module
(libevolution-mail.so). will do next time
modified file: /usr/ports/devel/glib20/files/patch-gmodule::gmodule-dl.c
please note this is only a temporary fix... the correct solution is to
fix the
evolution module

HOW-TO get Flash9 work
Well... after all the endless reading... and with the weekend ahead... May I conclude that: 1) Flash 9 works as long as I relocate the libs in /compat 2) I must use version 6 of the linux libraries 3) Must use the linux firefox Am I missing something??? Will try to put all the libraries in /usr/compat/lib and try to run firefox??? Or will try to use nspluginwrapper code I will ask SUN about opensolaris and flash player... I received an DVD from sun and the sistem installed without problems. seems to be as fast as a FreeBSD, with a beautifull gnome 2.20 running... It is a little bit closed, and I have not enough time to test it.. but seens very good. May be an emulation of SVR4 in ELF would solve the flash problem...

it happens with me too. the problem is in the

Re: The OX laptop...
50 m isn't that much. I was guessing more in the range of one to five km. (Maybe with an outside antenna??) the idea is a child to communicate with another than with another... in a school during normal hour, ther will be about 500 computers XO on and online... so the all children will have a way to communicate to each other, share files, produce documents... when they leave the school they eventually will go offline... Or 5 million people being producers; having them not only consume bbut contribute to the greater good of thw world! I think 5 million is just the beginning; in a few years, 50 millions, and then 500m. Maybe in another generation it'll bring at least a couple of billions (thousand millions) into the cooperative world-force. will this be the start of a new eratime will tell This really makes my day.

If other, please explain. Yes they are networked using WI-FI in ibcss... really works... does not need any access point and can communicate at about 50 meters away each other... in a kind of mersh network... really simple and functional. I think this kind of universally affordable and endlessly useful computer will give us countless thousands of wizards and other scholars who would be wedged in a hopeless situation. In a word:: Yes! gary The point is that will start a new world where things will be reinvented in new ways. without proprietary software.

Just imagine about 5 milion consumers... Here my nepheys are already in college and they now have to work and do all work using Linux at school and FreeBSD at home...

The BBC survey....
Hello alll Even FreeBSD, or even any BSD (ok, OSX is BSD...) is mention in the BBC survey, I notice that: 1) They claim that 90% of the persons use windows, but in the publish list, is just the contrary... only 2 ones use windows, and like it, and one of them just for games 2) The person that likes windows vista, likes it because he can make a good backup to save things when he lost them, this shows a common thing that happens when you use windows... (you will lost something)... so you need backups, winzips, winrars, avg, norton... and zilions of useless things that make your computer work better.. when in reality, all you need is a good gnome 2.16 or a kde 3.5.4... 3) 90% of the persons use the computer to write documents, access internet, and use email. so the number or persons using Mac and Linux is rasing 4) To use the vista, probably you will need an upgrade... (a good graphics for directx10, 64bit cpu, and 2 gb of memory...) here will cost 1000 dollars.. 5) more than half of the persons were windows users and switched to OSX or Linux Here in my country (Brazil) I am selling notebooks with FreeBSD and gnome 2.16 to high executives. and is doing well.. so it shows that the success of the computer is in the easy of use and not in the features it has The more important the person in the company, the easy to use and less features must have the computer. so for me, gnome is the best choice.

Re: the flash 9 player....
I would love to see that work, but sync'ing the audio and video may be problematical. FWIW ... John I tested the lastest version 0.7.2 it is better than the previous but is missing the ability to play movies about the sync of audio and video once the file is in the flv format, mplayer plays it very well with no problem and very low cpu consume the original mplayer from macromedia crashes because the mozilla calls NP_Shutdown and the macromedia plugin does not get initialized correctly by the mozzila (I am using epiphany)... I think that gnash is a good aproach... it forks a process and so if it crashes, does not crash the browser... Not a good solution now.

I was just wondering...

Re: snd_hda driver for 6.1 now working
Sergio, sorry, but you missed the [HEADS UP], and did it all wrong. It is not because of the chip cannot do DMA larger than 4k. It is because your hardware combination. Agree... in that notebook there is a problem with DMA. the nautilus-cd-burner complains about it... Smaller DMA means higher interrupt rate, and your chip need to compete with other peripherals to combat with that. All this can be solved by just using hint.pcm.0.buffersize=4096 without any single driver source tweak. Note that you probably don't even need this tunable hint if you using the above lowlatency (which itself need another HEADS UP) patch/module. Thanks very much for your infomation... I will fix my installation with that patch in the /usr/src/sys directory... I tried to change the buffersize to 4096 or less but still does not worked the modules fails to run in my 6.1-RELEASE because of a call to mix_setparentchild that does not exists in the sound.ko module in the 6.1 RELEASE... so I had to comment the code too... Anyway was for me a good exercise watching how the module is coded ( I have much to learn from the masters, like you) Sergio ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
snd_hda driver for 6.1 now working
Hello all after trying to set up the sound on the 6.1 RELEASE on a acer aspire 3100 notebook, I realise that the driver for the sound chip was the HDA (high definition audio) That notebook use a realtek version of the sound ship. The code I get in the internet does not compile in the 6.1-RELEASE it complains about some missing entry points in the sound.ko module (that exists in the -current kernel). I do not want to to use the CURRENT so I fixed the code to work with the 6.1-RELEASE..the main problem was the distorted sound it produces The problem was that the realtek chip was not able to make dma larger than 4096 bytes long a small fix in the hdac.c code did the trick Just get the file http://www.k1.com.br/downloads/snd_hda.tar.gz unpack it and do o make;make install inside the directory created (you must have the kernel sources installed) EnJoy Sergio ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: FreeBSD is #1
While trying to introduce FreeBSD into a Micro$oft only house, I've heard the following many times: Never heard of FreeBSD and Show me some documentation and stats. Regardless of the actual version, the stats are accurate for those providers. They reflect overall uptime and connectivity. This isn't about version, it's about FreeBSD gaining a firmer foothold in a Micro$oft / Linux dominant world. Personally, I'll take all the help I can get.

Now we at thinking in introduce FreeBSD running for desktops (using gnome 2.14, 2.15) We are not talking about dozens but about thousands/month so this will produce enough money to invest in the development of the operating system and the fix of bugs in the FreeBSD + gnome... We are thinking in hiring people in internet and pay (ebay...) some $$ (good money) for fix bugs in the FreeBSD + gnome.. The fixes will have GPL, and will improve the quality of FreeBSD...
