Re: Strange Lock-ups with Opera?
I'm not using GENERIC.MP and Firefox freezes with the flash plugin.. But I really don't know if the problem is the flash plugin, I tried getting one at adobe site, latest firefox and firefox crashes when I enter some page that has no flash media. (firefox running with linux binary emulation :) I'm still doing some tests and reply if I found anything relevant.. Cya 2007/9/13, Aaron W. Hsu [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I believe this isn't so hard. :-) I've narrowed the situation down to the kernel I use. GENERIC does not cause any freezes, with or without shared memory increased. GENERIC.MP does freeze very reliably, but it does seem somewhat (though probably only incidently) related to the Shared Memeory size (kern.shminfo.shmall or whatever it is). -- ((name Aaron Hsu) (email/xmpp [EMAIL PROTECTED]) (phone 703-597-7656) (site http://www.aaronhsu.com;))

As with yourself, I don't even have to go to a Flash-based site and Opera randomly freezes. I'm seeing many freezes using Opera 9.02 on Linux. I don't think it's an OBSD issue. It appears to be Flash-related and possibly Javascript related. I'd upgrade if you can, they're at 9.23. For other reasons, I don't want to upgrade that particular box, and installing from the tar.gz looks problematic on Linux. The installer on the Opera website seems directed at BSD and might work for OBSD, though. -- KBK
Re: Strange Lock-ups with Opera?
The FreeBSD version can be runned with fbsd binary emulation, but adobe doesn't release the flash plugin for fbsd system, just for Linux, that's why most people need a Linux emulated host browser to run the binary flash plugin. So no reason to emulate the fbsd browser, use native firefox instead of. Cya 2007/9/14, Kurt B.

Oddly though, it only freezes when used on the machine it's installed on, an Athlon 1.2 GHz T-bird. When I use Opera from the same machine, but X-forwarded via SSH on another machine also running OpenBSD, it _never_ freezes. :-\ The *other* machine being a P233. How weird is that? :-) -- W.

Re: Strange Lock-ups with Opera?
Hello, I have the same problem with my opera. I'm not sure what it is but it seem to be related to flash, it usually happen when im trying to view myspace related page ( for music ) . I thought it could be sound related too..maybe it's trying to access sound device when it already in use by another program and it make opera hangs ? all this are suppositions though ... im a newbie so if someone else have a clever and more articulated response to that it would be welcomed.

I have this problem on my dual PIII-550 system, but only in dual-CPU mode. When only one CPU is enabled, Opera surfs like a charm... Looks like there are more problems with shared memory, but I'm unsure.
Re: Strange Lock-ups with Opera?
[EMAIL PROTECTED] said: only in dual-CPU mode This is very interesting to me, as I am running using the MP kernel as well. I am doing so because I have a Dual Core system, but, maybe there is not that big of a performance gain? -- ((name Aaron Hsu) (email/xmpp [EMAIL PROTECTED]) (phone 703-597-7656) (site http://www.aaronhsu.com;))
