You could read up on power.conf and then try experimenting with settings in /etc/power.conf, to see if it truly is power management that's causing the issue. I don't know if you have to do a full reboot after changing power.conf or if it's enough to sudo svcadm restart svc:/system/power:default Please report back what your discover. Tim Thanks for the reply Tim. I took your advice and read the man page for power.conf and disabled power management altogether. After a full reboot, the issue still exists. And just like before, running glxgears, iconified or not, prevents the pauses. I have it running in a 5px by 5px window and the pauses have vanished, until I quit it, anyway.

[OpenIndiana-discuss] Xorg programs seem to stutter or quickly pause every 5 to 15 seconds
Greetings! I have recently returned to OI after the 2019.10 release and have some challenges. I'll ask about them in separate messages. MATE is running as my graphical desktop. With no other activity, when I move my cursor, it will pause every five to fifteen seconds. This can be a problem because mouse clicks and dragging sometimes fail due to this pause. If X is drawing anything at that time, it also pauses momentarily. Being a developer and also remotely controlling customer computers, this pause can wreak havoc on whatever I'm working on. On a whim I decided to start glxgears and minimize it. There are no more pauses when glxgears is running minimized/iconified. Is there some power-saving feature or CPU auto-throttler that I need to disable in order to have a smooth desktop experience? Is there some Xorg extension that tries to save energy and causes these pauses? Thank you! :-) System Info: - - - - OI Release: 2019.10 Hardware: HP EliteDesk 800 G1 tower Processor: Intel Core i7-4770 CPU @ 3.40GHz - 4 cores Memory: 16 GB RAM Video: Intel HD 4600 integrated - - - Will Brokenbourgh Sent from my OpenIndiana desktop ___ openindiana-discuss mailing list openindiana-discuss@openindiana.org https://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss

[OpenIndiana-discuss] Keyboard drama
Hello everyone, I have been trying to run Hipster on my workstation as my daily driver, but after several hours the keyboard input becomes slower and sloweruntil it completely stops responding. For example, I will type a character and it will take one to two seconds before it registers onscreen on any program. Obviously this is not acceptable. I have taken a look at 'top' to see if something is tying up system resources, but nothing sticks out. From my last view of 'dmesg' nothing looks out of place there, either. It almost seems like a memory leak of some sort as the effect is cumulative through time. I do not have problems with this keyboard on any other system or OS-- only OI. Are there any logs or other things I could lookat to see what in the world is going on?

I'm not in OI at the moment, but I think it's in /var/pkg or similar where there's a bunch of left-over stuff that doesn't get deleted properly and has to be deleted manually. Do a find for vbox in /var and that will probably put you in the right direction. I have had similar issues with VirtualBox and I installed a special Hipster version that was given to me. I cannot find the link now, but if necessary, I can post it somewhere for you. It also required boost and boost/g++ from the SFE repo.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] How reformat a hdd to new state

(I've been running the test iso since it was offered with no problems, I've updated twice during that time, again no problems, but only in vbox vms) I will be reusing some of the disks from the old of bld 151_9 install and installing a couple of 3TB new HDD along with reusing old disks.. OK so I want to completely reformat any disks I might be reusing. I don't want to run into problems of having sliced disks ... I want to reformat or erase or whatever one does so that a disk presents itself to format as a whole un-formatted disk including the boot sector. That is, like a new disk. I really don't want to run into problems with old grub on the boot sector instead of the new boot loader. I've seen the posted web pages where its explained how to fix that problem but it seems a bit complicated and possibly prone to problems if not administered by an experienced hipster hand... which I am not. I'd much rather just eliminate any chance of that coming up. And there by maybe ensure a smooth install with no extra work to do during or after. At least two of the old disks are a mirrored pair with rpool on them. I may have used one or more of what are now the storage disk as a boot disk with rpool at some point in the last 3 or so years. So how can I make those used disks be seen as new; no formatting or whatever else in place. One more item; I'd like to know if there is a tool one can point at a disk that is currently in use in a mirrored rpool that will report details of its state... slice or not etc. I know `format/fdisk' will do that to a degree but I'm a little shaky about running `format' or `partition' just I can I slip up and cause some damage. And after all format/partition does warn you not to mess with disks in use. Even if the tool is not a solaris tool... I can boot with about any os and inspect disks somehow... I guess, anyway. ___ openindiana-discuss mailing list openindiana-discuss@openindiana.org https://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss Greetings Harry, As far as making disks squeeky-clean, you could use dd and zero them. If your disks are large it may take a while, but if I'm going to install a completely new OS on a disk, I'll do 'dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/[your_disk_here] bs=32M' or similar. It gets rid of *everything* on that disk.

I installed 'build-essential' and it looks like installed a whole bunch of stuff, but I want to install and use the 'recommended' compiler -- for example -- the compiler used by the OI project to compile Mate, Geany, Thunderbird and so-on.

Greetings all, Being a FreeBSD user, I have grown accustomed to viewing HTML5 videos without the use of Flash (Flash is not easy to install on FreeBSD). When I try to view the same videos on Firefox in Hipster, they won't play and demand I install Flash. Is there some setting I'm not aware of?

[OpenIndiana-discuss] Newly installed VirtualBox gives COM object error when launched
Greetings! After a relatively clean install of OpenIndiana (x86) (installed yesterday, updated today), I attempted to install the vanilla VirtualBox from virtualbox.org, and this failed due to unmet dependencies. I was then told in the OpenIndiana IRC to download a patched version (VirtualBox-5.1.6-SunOS-amd64-r110634.pkg) which installed perfectly. I then installed qt4 and tried to run VirtualBox. The following error dialogappeared: - - - Failed to create the VirtualBoxClient COM object. The application will now terminate. Callee RC: NS_ERROR_FACTORY_NOT_REGISTERED (0x80040154) - - - I then tried running VirtualBox as super-user and received the same error. I was reminded to reboot OpenIndiana to make sure the vbox modules were loaded. Even after reboot, I still receive the error, both as standard and super users. The modules appear to be loaded: - - - $ modinfo -c [...] 227 1 vboxdrv LOADED/INSTALLED 228 1 vboxnet LOADED/INSTALLED [...] 231 1 vboxflt LOADED/INSTALLED 232 1 vboxusbmon LOADED/INSTALLED 233 1 vboxusb LOADED/INSTALLED [...] - - - I was wondering if anyone had constructive thoughts about this problem? If you've received this error and fixed it, I would really appreciate your advice.
