Pattern is 14 processes after 14 days. New process per day. Script to close the app at the end of each day and restart the app for a new day. Then see what happens. BTW, you have a monster system. ___ oi-dev mailing list oi-dev@openindiana.org

Is USB legacy support mode enabled in the firmware of the new notebook? I suspect PS/2 port is not being emulated. Just a thought. On 10:06AM, Wed, Feb 16, 2022 Stephan Althaus < stephan.alth...@duedinghausen.eu wrote: > Hello! > > I am looking for hints to diagnose the builtin touchpad. > > It

Re: [oi-dev] Fatal error executing "make download" in oi-userland/cpmponents

2021-12-16 Thread John Howard
Howdy, Welcome to the club. ;-) It was not your fault. I don't know what splix is or does but the one downloaded has a sha256 mismatch with the one in its package manifest file. It would be easier to just download the pre-compiled packages from the OpenIndiana repository rather than building

Re: [oi-dev] Porting an exFAT driver

2021-12-14 Thread John Howard
Microsoft's exFAT is not royalty-free. Distributers of devices pay Microsoft. Microsoft still owns submarine patents on exFAT. We old-timers have been down that road before. It is true Microsoft published the specification in 2019 and SDXC flash device organization standardizes on it. It

2021-11-05 Thread John Howard
I object to including codecs that cannot be used by all end users on the desktop PC. Servers are a different category because their operators can afford to pay for their own business policy. I used to monitor gstreamer changes until about four years ago. They were dropping Sun Au container and

Re: [oi-dev] Something wrong with dependancies

2021-07-10 Thread John Howard
Python dependencies can be compared online amongst distros. Compare OI Python v3.9 against Debian or Raspberry Pi's Linux which is heavily Python centric. The OI py-test dependencies you listed look reasonable. Notice the py-zipp v3.5 is unique, indicating it is the last minor change.

Might I suggest the OpenSolaris brand that Oracle seems to be exterminating. The fact people cannot use the brand Unix to identify a Linux distro further isolates the spread of Unix. FreeBSD and OpenSolaris derivatives are essentially the only Unix systems. MacOS is from FreeBSD but it is not

List of Illumos distros at Illumos.org I remember Tribblix has Enlightenment GUI available. Build your own distro. Others have, and do. You can start with OI and add your preferred package manager. You don't have to use IPS for everything. Some people use OI for a server without a GUI. More

Re: [oi-dev] OI Hipster 2018.10 snapshot

The USB files should be compressed for downloads to save gigabytes of bandwidth. On an individual basis it amounts to hundreds of megabytes and time saved for each person downloading. I am not interested in arguments about which compression alg. to use because currently there is NO COMPRESSION.

Yesterday I downloaded the minimal USB. I am in USA, not Europe or Asia, so I did not choose an alternative mirror for the download. Average speed was modem circa 1990 around 56 Kb/s. It took almost 3 hours. Okay, if that is how it is now. The problem is, out of curiousity, I compressed the
