I just had a try with Firefox 107.0.1 under NetBSD 10.0_BETA and it
seems to work with the video being displayed. The hardware was a
Samsung all-in-one PC 64bit x86.

The webcam info display shows:

Webcam Name:Namuga (0x2232) WebCam SC-10IRQ
Quality Rating: 863
Built-in Microphone:None
Built-in Speaker:   None
Frame rate: 30 FPS
Stream Type:video
Image Mode: rgb
Webcam MegaPixels:  0.92 MP
Webcam Resolution:  1280×720
Video Standard: HD
Aspect Ratio:   1.78
PNG File Size:  1.19 MB
JPEG File Size: 593.78 kB
Bitrate:17.59 MB/s
Number of Colors:   79346
Average RGB Color:  
 
Lightness:  49.80%
Luminosity: 54.70%
Brightness: 51.50%
Hue:64°
Saturation: 11.81%


I have the /dev/video* devices permissions set to crw-rw-rw- 
Firefox asked for permission to access the device and accepted my
affirmative response.

It would be really suprising if any of that CPUs would make a difference.

Have you tried a different USB stick?

It is still totally unclear where your machines spends all the time. Instead of 
installation you could benchmark reading the sets first, something
like:

time cat /mnt/.../base.tar.xz > /dev/null

and compare that with 9.x numbers.

I have reproduced this issue on multiple servers with the following cpus using 
the amd64 USB image on all of them takes 20 to 45 minutes which normally on 
netbsd9 took 3 minutes max to complete the USB install. None of our servers 
have CD/DVD

The 3 types of cpus are listed below

[ 1.04] cpu0 at mainbus0 apid 0
[ 1.04] cpu0: Use lfence to serialize rdtsc
[ 1.04] cpu0: Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-2120 CPU @ 3.30GHz, id 0x206a7

What kind of CPU do you have?

Firefox with webcam

[Hauke Fath (SPG)]

Hi,

has anybody had any recent success in using a webcam with Firefox?

Sites like  claim to detect the webcam (it's a 
logitech whatzit, attached as uvideo0), but are missing access permissions.


Firefox (123.0.1 here), OTOH, never asks for permissions; it does not 
log any related errors, either.


Cheerio,
Hauke
