I really don't think so.

But there's hikari, a stacking Wayland compositor heavily inspired by
cwm: https://hikari.acmelabs.space/

We might probably have a port of it in our ports tree in the future.

Ah... Of course you need to run sndiod on the host with the option "-L

Hi,

Here's what I've done:

1) Install libsndio on the Linux guest (I've used
http://www.sndio.org/sndio.tar.gz)

2) Compile this alsa plugin on the Linux guest:
https://github.com/Duncaen/alsa-sndio

3) Copy libasound_module_pcm_sndio.so under /usr/lib/alsa-lib/ (I'm on
Arch Linux, YMMV)

4) Create a /etc/asound.conf file containing the following lines:

pcm.!default {
type sndio
device "snd@100.64.1.1/0"
}

Where 100.64.1.1 is the ip address of the host.

Enjoy,
David

Huh. Works for me, too. That's unfortunate, and FF is such a large
project that I simply don't know where to begin debugging this.

At least I have a workaround.


Try going into "about:config" and setting media.autoplay.enabled to true.

Have you properly configured your user?

What I usually do is:

1) be sure my user has the "staff" class:

# grep dcoppa /etc/master.passwd
dcoppa:***:1000:1000:staff:0:0:David Coppa:/home/dcoppa:/bin/ksh

2) I have this at the top of my ~/.profile:

---8<---

# bump limits
ulimit -S -d $(ulimit -H -d)
ulimit -S -n $(ulimit -H -n)
ulimit -S -p $(ulimit -H -p)
ulimit -S -s $(ulimit -H -s)

With chromium or iridium it's not as bad as you have described.
Personally I use iridium on a daily basis.

Your '/usr/local' filesystem does not have the "wxallowed" mount option.

Why is your disk of type "MSDOS"?

It should be "NTFS".

Does restarting Fluxbox work otherwise or the crash only happens after resuming?

These are two different projects with the same name.
The one Thuban is trying to build is best known as rasterbar's
libtorrent, while the one in our ports tree is rakshasa's libtorrent.
Dunno if libtorrent-rasterbar was originally a fork of rakshasa's one.

Btw, you have two problems here:

1) '-ftemplate-depth=120' passed to $CXXFLAGS: get rid of it.

2) Use this configure line to correctly find boost libraries:

./configure --with-boost-system=boost_system-mt
--with-boost-chrono=boost_chrono-mt
--with-boost-random=boost_random-mt

Using "apmd -A" is equivalent to setting hw.perfpolicy=auto with sysctl:

The vast majority of the devices supported by umsm(4) under OpenBSD

You could try with a custom kernel compiled with the GPT option turned on.
GPT support is currently commented out (see

 Take one of these:

 And install rack rails:

 From the QA section of the rack rails page:

 does it fit the ikea rast

 Yup, I bought two sets and slapped them both in a rast bedside no
 problem. Just needed a few additional screw to attach them to the
 inside of the wood, but the fit is perfect with no modifications.

By experience, you can usually ignore this warning.

Be sure that your /etc/resolv.conf contains a valid nameserver line.
Try to ping, e.g., www.google.com

 Nope - tmux(1), similarly to mandoc(1), has been started outside of

 until 2009.

 BTW, some think that sudo(8) is an OpenBSD creation - that's not the

 Was Tim Miller (guy that created sudo, right?) an openbsd developer

 n...@holland-consulting.net (Nick Holland), 2014.10.25 (Sat) 06:08 (CEST):

 [big snip of the original discussion on screen blanking and it's
 handling by mplayer]

 Personally, I'm slowly losing interest in screen blanking.  LCD screens
 draw little power when on, [...]

 [snipping again]

 A laptop plugged into the wall...why power down the screen at all?  A
 laptop running on batteries...if you aren't going to use it, why not
 just suspend it?

 When I read this I thought that there was some room between not using
 and justifies suspend. (It only took two months until I got going...)

 For quick power saving, stand-by would do. It takes 2 seconds to go to
 stand-by, 7 seconds to resume (dmesg below).

 This is fast enough for intentional breaks, I think.

 But with me sitting in front of the machine, what happens by far more
 often are unintentional breaks, i.e. me staring and thinking (or not),
 or me trying to get work done but being interrupted, leaving the machine
 in a hurry.

 Time driven automagic (xidle(1)) stand-by would be too much for these
 cases, there may be tasks running that I want to continue.

 But screen blanking/unpowering? This cannot hurt, but does it help
 to save power? (Not only for working longer but also for the
 environment...)

 All numbers taken on a lenovo X200s (dmesg follows) with batteries
 removed, a cheapish power meter and only default deamons running (and
 doing nothing). What might matter and isn't easy to see/not visible in
 the dmesg, my sd0 (MKNSSDCR120GB) is an SSD with atactl(8) smartenable,
 writecacheenable, acousticset 126, apmset 126.

 1.1 W  stand-by - apm -S
 12.5 W display off  - xrandr --output LVDS1 --off
 15 W   display 10%  - xbacklight -set 10
 20 W   display 100% - xbacklight -set 100

 So in the range between 1.1 W (minimum idle power consumption) and 20 W
 (maximum idle power consumption), turning the screen off automagically
 saves me eight Watts out of 19 that could be saved (if I had left
 intentionally and used stand-by). Almost half of the maximum power
 saving achieved by unpowering the screen if leaving in a hurry is good
 enough for me.

When on battery, I set brightness to 40% using wsconsctl
display.brightness=40 and lock the screen using xlock -dpmsoff 1
when I'm afk...

 Bye, Marcus

 Damien committed untested code for this chip years ago and made the

 There have been various crashes as a result, some already fixed,

 Hello there,

 I'm trying to reduce power consumption on my OpenBSD laptop,
 and I can't find the way to suspend some USB devices I never
 use (like the webcam and the DVD drive).

 Does anybody know a way to do this from userland? If not,
 is it possible to do it with some coding?

I don't know.

But I go into the bios:

 I had a panic the other day with a 5.6-stable box, unfortunately my
 computer didn't save the panic, trace and ps in its dmesg buffer or I
 would have been giving a good description of it.  Next time it happens
 to me I have the camera ready by the monitor.

 The gyst of the panic was what I can remember a tmpfs operation
 something about a tailq.  And here is how I think I did it, however I
 couldn't reproduce it.  1) moved a directory with files to /tmp. from a
 softraid crypto filesystem 2) cd'ed into that direcotry and ran tmux.
 3) moved that directory to another filesystem (ffs) while in tmux I
 noticed it complaining about not having a directory, kept on using that
 until I quit tmux and tried to cd into my $HOME and then was kicked
 into the panic ddb.

Sure, but don't abuse other people's threads please.

 You don't use pdf form filling. Over the last few years, I've seen
 people want to do strange things with pdf.  Most things related
 to display work with default tools. afaik, password did not work
 with anything BUT acrobat reader AND now mutools.

 Form filling, in some cases (german taxes, iirr) does NOT work with
 other tools...
 Many consulates/embassy send pdf files with forms for information on
 visas acquisition. When I last time filled it, no one open source pdf
 reader can fill such forms.


 More than one Opensource PDF reader allows you to fill out the forms.  
 (evince for example)

Yes. Poppler has some, not so advanced, support for form filling.

 The problem is you can't save the forms and retain filled in data.
 However it is a simple matter to print them to a pdf file (pdf-writer).

Nice trick!

 Some forms have elaborate computation built in via scripts, and those won't 
 work
 but the simple forms will.

Indeed.

 Why not call the script passwd and put it in the path ahead of the real

 What is the goal?  Are there users on the system trying to brute force

 Ahh, did not think of renaming passwd and putting it in the path ahead of

 The goal is mainly to prevent Windows admins from saying that we cannot log

 it being used as an argument for not considering OpenBSD.

Or you can log every command issued on the system...

 Original version of the Slackware. xcompmgr is as well originally part

This is an older (still gtk+2 based) version of chromium: it doesn't

The bug started manifesting itself, when they switched to the new
