browser trouble with latest snapshot

Hi, I am having trouble with chromium, firefox and otter-browser since the upgrade to the latest amd64 snapshot (28th). Chromium shows me an "Aw Snap" right from the start and for everything (even the settings page) so it is currently completely unusable. This also happens with a new user and

W^X is now mandatory. Please follow the following: "W^X violating programs can be permitted on a ffs/nfs filesystem-basis, using the "wxallowed" mount option. One day far in the future upstream software developers will understand that W^X violations are a tremendously risky practice and that

Re: the balance between OpenBSD and life

For me, I went from Linux -> FreeBSD -> OpenBSD about 15 years ago and stayed here. I dabble in other things like Linux du jour but OpenBSD is the reliable backbone, reads partitions of other operating systems on multiboot machines (ok, not ext4). I've never screwed it up so bad I couldn't fix

Re: browser trouble with latest snapshot

Here I am again as this problem is only partly solved. As suggested I have now "wxallowed" set on /usr/local (In fact I did a fresh install with the latest available snapshot with the default disk layout) and the "map W^X violation" messages are gone now. On Sun, 29 May 2016 13:31:07 +0200 lvdd

Re: browser trouble with latest snapshot

There were issues with the latest version of Firefox on CentOS 6.7 (would not run), may have been something to do with newer versions of gtk libs (not 100% sure off the top of my head). Fixed with 6.8 upgrades.

How to use an IrDA/USB bridge.

Misc - I have an ACTiSYS IR4000US-KD USB IrDA bridge which is actually Sigmatel inside. I would like to use this to transfer files to and from my Handspring Visor. My problem is that this IrDA/USB bridge device is only configured on a ugen device, while the birda utils are not able to attach to

PPPoE issues

Hi, I'm trying to replace a PC Engines Alix board with an APU 2c4 board, but I'm having some issues to get it up and running. I have a fiber connection and my ISP requires a PPPoE connection over VLAN 6. With the old setup, this works like a charm. With the new setup, I can't get the PPPoE
