 I can confirm Flash does cause the lock up, but I'm running flash 10, not 11.
 Nevertheless this is a problem with linux emulation, not flash


Turns out this was caused by an out of date nvidia driver. Updated to
nvidia-driver-285.05.09 and that solved the problem.

hard lockups with RC1

2011-10-31 Thread Ashley Williams
I've recently upgraded from 9.0 beta1 to RC1 and experiencing a few hard
lockups, they seem to related to browsing - both chromium and firefox cause
the lockups. (requiring a hard reset )
All I can think of is something related to Linux emulation and flash, but I
could be wrong. Rolling back the kernel version with the same userland
clears up the problem.

I haven't been able to get any logs or cores to help diagnose this problem,
so I'd appreciate a push in the right direction.

Re: Java6 problem

 Hi,

 After upgrading to Java6, I am having a problem when I launch the Java
 application that my bank/broker uses. It halts with Start: applet not
 initialized.  Unfortunately, FreeBSD is not a 'supported platform'
 for my bank/broker, and they won't provide any support.

 It does work on Windows platforms, but I would prefer to use it on FreeBSD.

 Any suggestions?



Can you provide any console output ?

Re: Installing and using wine on amd64

2011-08-15 Thread Ashley Williams
 I've done some research and found lots of posts several years
 old that suggest that using wine on AMD64 is not possible or
 requires binary packages that don't exist, and even if one can
 install it, it doesn't run.

 Has this situation improved meanwhile? Does anyone have a
 recipe on how to get wine running?

You can get wine running on AMD64, see the following wiki link:

dtrace function arguments

2011-08-14 Thread Ashley Williams
I'm looking for a faster way to get more verbose information about
dtrace function arguments.

For example.

Say, I want to know more about the funciton
syscall:freebsd32:connect:return.  I'd start off by doing a listing:

# dtrace -lvf connect

-snip---

43723syscall freebsd32   connect return

Probe Description Attributes
Identifier Names: Private
Data Semantics:   Private
Dependency Class: Unknown

Argument Attributes
Identifier Names: Private
Data Semantics:   Private
Dependency Class: ISA

Argument Types
args[0]: int
args[1]: caddr_t
args[2]: int


From the output of the listing, I can see quite clearly there are
three arguments for this function - int, caddr_t, int; but I can't see
from this output what these refer to.
I could probably find the answer by digging through header files and
source code, but this isn't exactly efficient. Is there an easier way
to find more information about functions (not specifically this one)?
