I'm using snapshots, do updates every week or so, after that sysmerge and pkg_add -ui. Just yesterday tried building current, but still same results with browsers. Can test more today during night or newer snapshot if there is one. Only msttcorefonts installed from ports. Cannot reproduce. Gmail is OK here in both in ff4 and xxxterm on soekris and on a amd64 box in i386 mode. This is with default (non-staff) ulimits. The only thing I can do now is ask you to think and check whatever could make your system different from a cleanly installed machine. Something should cause these program crashes, but all my efforts did not lead to reprodcution. Only you can possibly discover what's different on your side. -Otto On Sat, May 14, 2011 at 1:13 PM, Otto Moerbeek o...@drijf.net wrote: On Fri, May 13, 2011 at 03:31:03PM -0500, Chris Bennett wrote: On Fri, May 13, 2011 at 10:08:18PM +0200, Antoine Jacoutot wrote: Update devel/dconf to the very latest revision.

Chris Bennett One more question: are you building ports yourself These messsages are an indicaton your system is not consistent. I recommend installing a snap and get your packages from a mirror as well. That would rule out build problems. Note that recently a new version of webkit was comitted. New packages snaps containing that are noy yet there. But a few developers already spotted problems with it, that are being investigated. ?? ?? ?? ??-Otto -- Nicholas Schmidt oneguyn...@gmail.com P: 661.724.6438
Re: Serious OpenBSD softraid crypto limitation
Can you break the install process as I did in the HOWTO and continue forward with a full softraid setup? I wrote the HOWTO after struggling for a few evenings to get the setup to work seamlessly. Maybe the documentation was over my head, but I have had no issues in countless other OS doing WDE. Though with the speed at which softraid and WDE is moving with OpenBSD, my guide is becoming very antiquated in just a few months. Here is the CVS commit for softraid boot if anyone else looking: http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-cvsm=126960262412653 On Sun, Apr 24, 2011 at 19:13, Kenneth R Westerback kwesterb...@rogers.comwrote: On Mon, Apr 25, 2011 at 03:41:33AM +1000, John Tate wrote: OpenBSD Misc, I have recently configured an OpenBSD softraid using the following as a guide along with the correct manual pages: http://geekyschmidt.com/2011/01/19/configuring-openbsd-softraid-fo-encryption The limitation I've noticed is that / is unencrypted which means /etc is unencrypted. My first install had the usual partitions on the encrypted softraid device: /usr /var /home and /tmp which all in all works out pretty well. Then when creating private keys it clicked that they would reside in /etc/ssl/private which of course could be moved but I am a pretty anal admin who likes things done as those who engineered the system intended. It saves trouble doing things that way. Most the stuff in /etc is not that important but I take the physical security of the machine pretty seriously. When I read the guide the first time on the first install it mentioned creating an /altroot partition and I did but this seems to be for backup purposes or something. I can't really tell and I can't seem to find much documentation about it. I thought when reading the guide that the root partition would switch over to it or something like that. It was pretty disappointing when I looked around in the documentation and manual pages regarding mount and such and found that I could not modify the /bin/decrypt script mentioned in the guide to use mount to switch to altroot. I might be wrong and there might just be a flaw in the documentation. It would be very good if such a root partition switching type thing added as a feature to OpenBSD. In the meantime I've come up with my own solution for which I reinstalled this time creating on the softraid a partition called /secetc. Basically using this I can copy things over from /etc to /secetc, delete them in /etc, and symlink them over to /secetc. After that it is a matter of creating the private keys and things in the new locations. A lot can put in that location and can still be found the ordinary way. Still it would be much better if: this guide didn't suck, and if there was a root switching feature in OpenBSD. John Tate Support for booting from softraid was just committed to -current. The install scripts still do not provide direct support for creating softraid partitions.

Re: Flash Video in Firefox
Works like a champ for me on Youtube and a Intel ULV Core2 processor running -current. The video performance on the Intel DRM x3100 chipset isn't fluid on anything 720p, but is fine in SD.

I have one of the Sun Blade 1500 sitting right next to me. Loud as a jet engine and heavy.

Re: laptop questions/comments

Note that I dont want to spend money on performance I dont need, but I do want to spend money on a decent quality machine. First, finding quality machines in the backwoods where I live is really hard. The shops seem full of rubbish. Various retailers suggest either Toshiba or Asus. Does anybody have any comments on these brands in general? I'll admit to a psychological block against Toshiba, but I have no idea where it came from, it could be completely bogus. Second, One I've found which seems a good fit is the Toshiba Satellite Pro C650 (with the celeron cpu, not the i3). Anybody using one of these with OpenBSD? I stuck a 4.8 release CD in, and the dmesg indicated problems with these devices (sorry for the vagueness, I was scribbling down stuff in the store. I can get better info if it's required)- Intel GM45 Attansic something - 0x2060 - the 10/100 wired ethernet SMBus ehci1 timed out waiting for bios There was also a message at the end that suggested that wd1 was not available. Anybody know how things have improved with these devices since 4.8, and which are showstoppers? The camera and audio also appeared to have limited or no support, but I dont care about those. Thanks for any input paulm Definitely use a 4.9-current CD. New things are supported all the time, so go with the best version of OpenBSD. I get hornswoggled all too often in helping folks with their laptops, and I'm really saddened with the quality of the hardware, overall. The Lenovo ThinkPads (NOT the other brands that Lenovo has) have consistently been the best laptops out there, in terms of quality, serviceability, and life-span. The $400 laptop can be considered a throwaway unit. Few of the bargin laptops friends bought in 2009 are working today. If you look at the Lenovo site you'll see the T series. A T420i is $799 with a 1 year warranty. Thats more money than a $499 laptop, but it is likely to work several years from now. --STeve Andre' I second the Thinkpads. I recently upgraded from a T22 to a T61 (Core2 Duo, 2.4GHz, 2GB RAM). It cost me about 400 USD for the like-new laptop, docking station, and a brand new 8GB SSD (all on Ebay). All I had to do was replace the CPU fan and install the SSD. I run amd64 -current. All the relevant hardware works very well. I run cwm(1), xterm, tmux, Gimp, Chromium, Firefox, Seamonkey-Mail. It's a very fast system, way more computer than I need and will last me many years, as my T22 did. -- Nicholas Schmidt oneguyn...@gmail.com P: 661.724.6438
