Firefox is so slow

2013-04-29 Thread David Demelier
Hi,

I used to love firefox in the early days, when I started using Linux
around 2003-2004. It was so fast. Now it's just amazing how long does
it take to start.

On my machine : intel i3 540, 2G of RAM and FreeBSD 9.1 it takes
around 12 secondes to start. Is it so long for you too?

What kind of bloat has been added so it's so big to start..

Regards,

The ugly fact is that every browser is slow. Except for browsers like dillo,
which are kind of outdated and incompatible with sh*tty modern web.
Personally I use xxxterm as a 'firebugs' replacement (e.g. with support for 
html5 and other crap) or dillo as a web viewer. Works OK for me.

~ 5 seconds on kinda sligthly better machine;
~ 0.1 seconds if I move ~/.mozilla to tmpfs (which is a kludge and which 
sucks)

Around 2 seconds on an intel core2 quad, 4G RAM, FreeBSD 9.1 amd64.

 What kind of bloat has been added so it's so big to start..

When building firefox from source, I only set the GIO and
OPTIMIZED_CFLAGS options to ON. All other options were set to OFF.

You could try using Profile Guided Optimizations, but it will make the
build a lot slower.

Do you have plugins (not add-ons) like java or flash installed? Try
disabling those.

Re: ZFS on MBR does not boot at all

2013-04-29 Thread David Demelier
2013/4/18 David Demelier demelier.da...@gmail.com:
 Hello,

 I would like to use ZFS over MBR for multiboot purposes. I've followed
 that guide https://wiki.freebsd.org/RootOnZFS/ZFSBootPartition but it
 does not boot at all. The loader does not show up after choosing
 FreeBSD in the boot0 loader.

 The _ prompt appears but nothing starts. I've found many people over
 the web having the same problem but unfortunately no one found a
 solution.

 I think the offensive commands are ones with dd and zfsboot.

 Regards,


So someone told me on IRC that the main problem was that I've put my
partition swap as first partition in the FreeBSD slice and zfsboot
*requires* that the zfs partition is the first.

Can someone with right access to the wiki page may add a notice about
this issue on https://wiki.freebsd.org/RootOnZFS/ZFSBootPartition
please?

Regards,

Based on your description it sounds like you have the following boot menu

P.S. There have been enhancements already that will come down with 9.2 that add a top-level Boot single

and 8.x (s to boot single user).




Devin

Background info. I had put load commands for ipfw modules into 
/boot/loader.conf to test if this would work with a kernel that has 
vimage compiled in. The boot process would start normally and progress 
to the point where the usb messages get displayed and them the system 
would freeze up becoming unresponsive.


Figured I would just reboot and go in single user mode and remove the 
statements from loader.conf. But no matter what I tried the boot menu 
would no go into single user mode.


The solution was to take a testing disk that had 9.1-rc3 on it and cable 
it as master and the original disk as slave. In this configuration the 
system booted correctly and I mounted the slave and corrected 
loader.conf. Recabled the original disk as master and was back in 
business.


I think that because the ipfw modules were loaded before the boot 
process got to the boot menu is what caused the boot menu to not 
function correctly. Don't see a PR in this case.

Try compiling ipfw into your kernel by adding these great options…

dte...@oos0a.lbxrich.vicor.commailto:dte...@oos0a.lbxrich.vicor.com ~ $ 
config -x `sysctl -n kern.bootfile`|grep -i ipf
options IPFIREWALL # Enable support for `ipfw'
options IPDIVERT # Enable support for `ipfw divert'
options IPFIREWALL_NAT # Enable support for `ipfw nat'
options IPFIREWALL_FORWARD # Enable transparent proxy support
options IPFIREWALL_DEFAULT_TO_ACCEPT # Allow everything by default


This is partly how we're using ipfw in vimage jails.

NOTE: You might be wondering how exactly we got comments into our embedded 
configf-file… the secret is to manually configure your kernel with config -C 
-g MYGENERIC (replacing MYGENERIC with whatever your kernel config filename 
is).


Figured I would just reboot and go in single user mode and remove the 
statements from loader.conf. But no matter what I tried the boot menu would no 
go into single user mode.


Yet, it wasn't booting [fully to multiuser mode] either, correct? Quoting from 
above:

The boot process would start normally and progress to the point where the usb 
messages get displayed and them (sic) the system would freeze up becoming 
unresponsive

Well…

It's not that the menu was ignoring your choice to enter single-user mode, it 
was that it couldn't make it to single-user mode. To make it to single-user 
mode you have to be able to invoke init(8) at the very least and it doesn't 
sound like you made it that far (let alone invoking /etc/rc and ilk).



The solution was to take a testing disk that had 9.1-rc3 on it and cable it as 
master and the original disk as slave.

I would have just dropped to the loader-prompt and used the built-in commands 
(not even any Forth, but easy-to-use loader commands that are documented in 
loader(8)):

unload

That will unload the kernel and your ipfw.ko that was loaded by your 
loader.conf preference.

The way kernels and modules are loaded has always been to load them before the 
menu. You should see this as you are booting. The unload command lets you 
discard these things and change your game plan.

A few other commands that are good to know on the loader prompt:

ls

or

ls path

Good for exploring for things to load (the next command):

load path

Can load a kernel or load a module.

boot

or

boot path

Can boot the loaded kernel (just boot by itself) or boot a kernel at path.

more path

Can read a file (for example more /boot/loader.conf).

See loader(8) for more details. (HINT: according to loader(8) there's also an 
lsmod command)



In this configuration the system booted correctly and I mounted the slave and 
corrected loader.conf. Recabled the original disk as master and was back in 
business.


Good. Rescue discs are good for this too. My own FreeBSD Druid for example.



I think that because the ipfw modules were loaded before the boot process got 
to the boot menu is what caused the boot menu to not function correctly. Don't 
see a PR in this case.


Correct -- No PR needed; the boot menu functions properly (however it can't 
affect boot if you _can't_ in-fact boot).



Thanks to all who replied.


Cheers.

Freshports just shows information about the status and history of
various ports.  It is not itself a package repository or a source code
mirror.

If you want to check out just one port like that (which won't actually
be a lot of use on it's own -- usually it's best to download the whole
ports tree) then read these sections of the handbook:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/svn.html
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/svn-mirrors.html

and your command would be something like:

  svn co https://svn0.us-east.FreeBSD.org/ports/head/x11-wm/spectrwm \
 /usr/ports/x11-wm/spectrwm

us-east is generally the best choice of SVN mirror for people in Europe
at the moment.

The problem is, automatic hack is still a kludgy hack.

memstick serial console install is completely illegible ... am I doing something wrong ?

2013-04-29 Thread Jason Usher
I have the latest 9.1-RELEASE memstick image burned to a USB drive.

I boot from that and connect to my device with a serial console.  At some 
point, the installer asks me what terminal emulation I am using - I choose 
vt100.

But then things go to hell ...

I am not complaining that the screen draw is a bit weird, or that a lot of 
weird characters are used, etc. ... my problem is that I cannot even interact 
with it properly.  The up and down arrows seem to be interpreted as enter, 
which makes choosing menu items impossible ... the partition editor is 
completely unusable since it is getting drawn all over the screen and I can't 
use the up and down arrow keys ...

I thought vt100 would be the safest choice - what am I doing wrong here ?

Virtual Box service vboxheadless shutdown problems.

2013-04-29 Thread dweimer
I have recently setup a FreeBSD server to run virtual box, and a couple 
of FreeBSD jails.  Performance is running great, but upon getting my UPS 
setup with NUT, and running some reboot tests to verify that everything 
is shutting down and starting up properly I ran into an issue.


The /usr/local/etc/rc.d/vboxheadless script is not shutting down the VM 
properly, which in turn is causing other services to not stop properly.


I have set the following options in my rc.conf file

vboxnet_enable=YES
vboxheadless_enable=YES
vboxheadless_machines=HomeServer
vboxheadless_user=dweimer
vboxheadless_stop=acpipowerbutton
vboxheadless_delay=0

issuing service vboxheadless stop, does correctly shutdown the VM 
cleanly, and of course service vboxheadless start starts everything OK.  
But when running a shutdown command the shutdown process hangs, until it 
gets a 90 sec watchdog timeout on the vboxheadless stop command.  The 
VNC console to the VM, never shows any attempt for the VM to shutdown.  
The windows VM, also doesn't show any events in the log as if it tried 
to shutdown.


Has anyone else ran into this?  Or have any idea what to check to find 
out more information as to what is happening to stop the shutdown 
process from running correctly?

 Aloha,
 
 Is there a way of turning off the witness feature on the FreeBSD
 Current 10.*
 
 I want to use a stripped down version as a test firewall with pf.
 
you must take this out of your kernel configuration:

options
WITNESS
# Enable checks to detect deadlocks and cycles options
WITNESS_SKIPSPIN# Don't run
witness on spinlocks for speed

Ok, the formatting is different in the configuration file.

Erich
 Thanks for any help.

Re: Youtube Flash Videos broken?

2013-04-29 Thread paranormal
I had written an extension, it replaces the original youtube player.
Now it's beta version (at least it has a name...), there is no setup, no
preferences, it just replaces youtube player to videoHere the best
quality/video.


Code (don't even try to use master branch):
https://github.com/paranormal/detube/tree/working

Zip:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/de-tube/

You are free to install this addon and blame me.

There another addon (written by Sukant Garg):

 hello, world\n
 
 I have trouble playing Youtube videos in flash format in Firefox. This
 has worked in the past, but for a few weeks now, the flash videos
 display as a b/w noise background picture with a message centered To
 render this video you need the Adobe Flash Player. Install latest Flash
 Player. Has Youtube conspired against me, you, FreeBSD, the world? :-)
 
 I'm wondering if I have screwed up something. I'm running 9.1-STABLE as
 of a few days ago, with up-to-date ports of emulators/linux_base-f10,
 www/linux-f10-flashplugin11 and www/nspluginwrapper ports on FF20.0.
 about:plugins says this:
 
 Shockwave Flash
 
 File: npwrapper.libflashplayer.so
 Version: Shockwave Flash 11.2 r202
 
 MIME TypeDescription Suffixes
 application/x-shockwave-flash   Shockwave Flash swf
 application/futuresplashFutureSplash Player spl
 
 
 Since I haven't heard the FreeBSD community screaming Gimme back
 my Youtube!!!1!, I'll bite. What could the problem be? Is anyone
 else but me able to play flash, like for example The true science
 of multiple universes in http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ywn2Lz5zmYg ?
 
 Other types play just fine, like Pt1gard's 10-Question Apollo Test
 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oUPtiYiMCbQ
 
 I can work around this by downloading the files with clive and watching
 with mplayer, but I'd like to make this work again.
 
 Regards,
 
   Jens
