Testing is something that the OpenSolaris team has given up for time-to-market needs it seems. I installed 2008.11 beta 96 and ended up with having to run firefox and thunderbird inside ubuntu as guest in virtualbox 2.0.2 to get a decent speed. How come firefox 3 runs 10 times faster inside vbox/ubuntu than on the bare opensolaris??? And what turned out to be the root cause of these problems?

Re: [osol-discuss] firefox problems with snv_98
Then upgrade your system to b98 and replace firefox as I previously showed. I did, no change. I actually don't think it is firefox because thunderbird is also slow as a cow as is the whole window system. Switching window workspace takes 5 seconds. Used to happen immediately when touching the Ctrl-Alt left-arrow... I have no idea what kind of processor or graphics your Ferrari uses but the nVidia drivers have been updated considerably since b86 was released. The Acer Ferrari is (or at least was) some kind of standar within Sun. It's a AMD Turion64 with ATI graphics. Not the best choice for Solaris but I've seen no problems until now. This system works almost perfectly: $ head -1 /etc/release OpenSolaris 2008.11 snv_98 X86 Mine is the same, but is the worst version based on nevada that I've seen. And I've been testing _every_ build.

Re: [osol-discuss] firefox problems with snv_98
Luckily my own comment made me realize that I've seen something about DRI and ATI. http://bugs.opensolaris.org/view_bug.do?bug_id=6718572 So I created a xorg.conf to put in /etc/X11 svcadm disable graphical-login/gdm Log in and su then run /usr/X11/bin/Xorg -configure vi /root/xorg.conf.new Comment out Load dri cp /root/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf svcadm enable graphical-login/gdm or somethinhg similar. The only caveat now is that typing is slow like a cow instead. About 1 second between key press and seeing it on the screen...

Back to the slow Xorg. Having almost no response on the keyboard is worse. Any hints on what xorg.conf settings I need on an Acer Ferarri 4000 to get normal type pace?

There is a bug filed against the bookmark issue in bugster during the test cycle of snv_97, http://monaco.sfbay.sun.com/detail.jsf?cr=6736315. This is a regression bug between snv_96 and snv_97, because dev. engineer submit one new patch. From the evaluation, the coredump issue just happens on a special enviroment. QE is working on new GNOME version integration, the full test for all desktop applications are executed on another branch of desktop build, there are only Desktop sanity test on snv build.

[osol-discuss] firefox problems with snv_98
I just updated my OpenSolaris machine to snv_98. Sure is nice to see firefox 3.0. Unfortunately, it lost all of my bookmarks. I tried to restore them several ways but nothing worked. It seems that bookmarks are now only stored as json. I exported the bookmarks from another machine and imported them as json and that worked. Still, why were they lost to begin with? I use Foxmarks to synchronize my bookmarks between the 4 or more machines I use. Foxmarks wasn't able to restore my bookmarks from the server. It got stuck in loading state file or something like that and never completed. Now that I've restored my bookmarks manually, I'm trying to use Foxmarks to resynchronize my bookmarks. It's stuck in downloading sync file. Anyone have any idea what's going on with this latest version of firefox? Is there an easy way to revert to the previous version of firefox? ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org

That was probably on to b91 or so. It wouldn't take any imports and it didn't find my previous profile. I figured it was user error. :) All subsequent upgrades to OpenSolaris didn't affect my book marks, though.
