Re: What is the best way to image copy a FreeBSD system?
I downloaded the alternative testing ubuntu-based version of Clonezilla, and it appeared to backup my FreeBSD machine. It identified my filesystem as UFS. I will wipe the drive and try a restore later tonight. It said it was backing up 30GB of files, which seemed odd for a fresh install. The backup was 7.5GB. There is a lot of good info in this thread, so I will be experimenting with the various methods discussed. It sounds like I really need to learn about dump/restore.

But Vimium isn't Vimperator, and chromium disables extensions when viewing the home page or local files. So, for instance, vimium's key bindings don't work when viewing an HTML attachment to an email. To be perfectly clear, what I had figured out was how to get Vimium working with Chromium v5.x, back when that was the only version of chromium in FreeBSD ports. The problem was that Vimium used an extension writing feature that did not exist until 6.x, so it would not install properly on 5.x. The chromium version in ports was eventually updated to 6.x obviating the need for my fix -- but then things sorta stagnated, and we ended up with the current circumstance of a transition to a new port maintainer. As Sterling indicates, though, Vimium does not work properly (or at all) under certain circumstances, and some basic capabilities that make Vimperator usable are not (easily, at least) within the capabilities of the chromium extension system. As such, it's pretty well inferior to Vimperator, through no fault of the extension writers as far as I'm aware. -- Chad Perrin [ original content licensed OWL: http://owl.apotheon.org ] pgp7KT6BGu4Ph.pgp Description: PGP signature

sched_setscheduler() gives errno EPERM
All, I have a small program that simply changes the scheduling policy to SCHED_RR with sched_setscheduler and then exec's into another program. This worked fine in FBSD 5.x and 6.x. Now when I'm migrating to 8.1 I get EPERM from the the setscheduler call. I have learned that If I start the same program with 'rtprio' it is allowed to change the scheduler. Strange to me - since I have always run it as root. What is the policy in 8.1?? Can this behavior be circumvented somehow?

We're heavily leaning toward Firefox, but would love to hear other's opinions of Chrome (if it requires Linux emulation, that may be a death-knell, leaving Firefox the only real choice???). I've been an avid Firefox user until ~1 month ago. I just couldn't put up with the sluggishness anymore. Tried to use Firefox 4 beta. No dice. The JS engine _is_ faster but that didn't solve the problem. The UI is just not OK. I used to think it was because of the multi-threaded design, until Opera rolled out version 10 which is just as snappy as Google Chrome. The only downside with Opera is that it's just too strict wrt standards. FF and Chrome use all kinds of quirks to make old websites render reasonably well. Still, given the current situation on FreeBSD, I'd go with Opera. I love Mozilla and its push towards a free/open web, but with version 4 they seem to have lost focus on what it matters for the majority of the people. Sure, fast web page rendering is important, but I for one wouldn't mind a slow[ish] render if I was able to quickly open another tab (page) to bash.org (just an example) while I wait for the other one to load. Note that I use FreeBSD only on my servers. I use Linux for desktop, so take my suggestion with a grain of salt. :-) -- Mihai Donțu ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

My understanding is that the Chromium port maintainer's business model interfered with his ability to keep the port updated for security patches, and eventually someone else replaced him as port maintainer. The new port maintainer has been working on getting the port back up to snuff since then, which appears to be kind of a starting over operation in some respects. As such, one hopes that everything will be up to snuff soon, and will stay that way under new management. However, Freshports still has a less-than-favorable status for this port: http://www.freshports.org/www/chromium/ One might presume that this is because the previous port maintainer's business model kept the port at v6.x, which is what is currently in ports. The current version of the chromium browser is 9.x, and I suspect the minor work done early this year is work on getting v9.x ready for inclusion in ports.

Though, given the above consideration, both him and I have decided to _not_ deploy this browser in production (at least until we can get some love on those vulnerabilities). I have the version of chromium from ports on one of my computers, and used it off-and-on alongside Firefox and Uzbl. I might have completely replaced Firefox if the extension system was robust enough to allow proper implementation of vi-like keybindings and secure use of extensions like HTTPS Everywhere, but the chromium extension system is still a little too restrictive for that, from what I've seen. I stopped using Chromium at all once those vulnerabilities had been around and unfixed in ports for a few days. You should probably do the same. So, I guess I'd like to throw the query out there...

Timing out SAMBA authentication
Hi. I am connecting to a Samba server from a mac running OSX 10.6.6 on my LAN and up until about a month ago it has been running smoothly. The sever is appearing in Finder but when connecting I get asked my username and password. After entering my details I get Connecting for about 5-10 seconds before the shares are presented, then I am able to mount and work with the shares. Interestingly if I don't mot the share quickly the mac reports the share is no longer available? This evening I have been doing some diagnosis to see whats happening, I opened a terminal session on the samba server and to connect to the share using; smbclient localhost\\[share] I get asked the password, after 20 seconds the connection fails with the error: Receiving SMB: Server stopped responding session setup failed: Call timed out: server did not respond after 2 milliseconds I'm assuming this is why there is a delay in mounting the share though my Mac. Im pretty sure I haven't changed anything. I have googled the web and the only constructive thing I have come across so far is the encrypt password entry in smb.conf.
