apu2 and Atheros WLE600VX not working
Hi guys, I am running OpenBSD 6.9 the machine recognizes an earlier version of the same wireless PCIe card, namely the WLE200NX but for some, unknown to me reason, the WLE600VX is not recognized. I checked the athn driver support for the chip set which should be AR9280 and it list it. When I boot I get in dmesg: "Atheros QCA986x/988x" rev 0x00 at pci1 dev 0 function 0 not configured pcidump -v: 1:0:0: Atheros QCA986x/988x 0x: Vendor ID: 168c, Product ID: 003c 0x0004: Command: 0002, Status: 0010 0x0008: Class: 02 Network, Subclass: 80 Miscellaneous, Interface: 00, Revision: 00 0x000c: BIST: 00, Header Type: 00, Latency Timer: 00, Cache Line Size: 10 0x0010: BAR mem 64bit addr: 0xfe20/0x0020 0x0018: BAR empty () 0x001c: BAR empty () 0x0020: BAR empty () 0x0024: BAR empty () 0x0028: Cardbus CIS: 0x002c: Subsystem Vendor ID: Product ID: 0x0030: Expansion ROM Base Address: fe40 0x0038: 0x003c: Interrupt Pin: 01 Line: 00 Min Gnt: 00 Max Lat: 00 0x0040: Capability 0x01: Power Management State: D0 0x0050: Capability 0x05: Message Signalled Interrupts (MSI) Enabled: no 0x0070: Capability 0x10: PCI Express Max Payload Size: 256 / 256 bytes Max Read Request Size: 512 bytes Link Speed: 2.5 / 2.5 GT/s Link Width: x1 / x1 fw_update: Path to firmware: http://firmware.openbsd.org/firmware/6.9/ Installed: vmm-firmware-1.11.0p3 Installed, extra: athn-firmware-1.1p4 Does anyone have this WLE600VX card working on OpenBSD?

Source of the spin
Dear readers, I probably did something silly again, Could you help with a bit of knowledge around performance ? My openbsd CPU (6.8) is spinning a lot : 0.0%Int 53.1%Spn 25.8%Sys 19.6%Usr 1.4%Idle * Is this bad ? * What kind of basic operation ( like basic shell scripting ) could do that ? ? Thank you, -- -- - Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do

What is a good rule of > thumb for selecting a machine to run OpenBSD with respect to its age? hard to speak for "OpenBSD" in general, but seeing the trend, I'd say you should be served well for a while. I have several ThinkPad of that vintage (T4x, R5x) and they do run various opensource OSs very well. The only hardware "support drop" I have seen across the board is due to video drivers - but these have either Intel or classic ATI which appears to continue to work quite well. They are "the best crop" of 32bit Intel Machines. I have an almost equivalent Toshiba too and recently Stefan fixed even the internal WiFi card support for it! Older ones like the classic 600 or T2x series, while having also clearer memory limitations, have strange video cards and those are an issue now. Also SSE2 is useful for browsing, video, etc, if needed. If Intel 32bit support continues for a while, you ThinkPad will remain useful. Of course don't expect super-heavy browsing! Browsers get more andmore hungry... But on my R52 (with Linux though) I can use FireFox and ArcticFox quite well with few tabs and watch full-screen movies too. What do you want more from such a trusty thing? Enough for a quick web look up. Then they are fantastic coding machines, remote terminals, etc due to the nice 4:3 displays with relaxing look and good keyboards. Infrared ports, fireware and nice stuff, some of these have RS232. There is only one thing to "avoid as pest": nVidia cards. My experience is that OpenBSD sucks with them, I got no vintage laptop working. NetBSD not much better (although it has nouveau inside it didn't work for me). FreeBSD was nice because it has binary drivers, but with the lastes X11 upgrades they are no longer compatible, so sicne you need also those "legacy drivers" nVidia did not update, you end up with lots of nice bricks. ThinkPad T61 might have (as mine has) those as an option and now I don't know what to do, right now with it. Nice machine - except that it is a little bit more "lenovo quality" than the R5x and T4x series. I could switch from FreeBSD to OpenBSD but last time I tried no decent video support, only the old nv divers which are antique (although theys till run, but you have almost no acceleration and have other issues with sleep, etc). Then, nobody knows what the future will be... especially in software. Riccardo

After a little thought, I came up with a solution. Email the Libreoffice *.odp presentation to the attendees before the Jitsi presentation. They can each look at it on their OpenBSD desktop.

Sharing desktop with Jitsi and pledge
Hi Folks: I am running OpenBSD 6.9 GENERIC.MP#4 amd64 and have Jitsi working well here on OpenBSD. The audio and video work fine. So do the typing of comments in Jitsi However when I attempt to share my desktop, through Jitsi, then Firefox crashes. I get this message in my dmesg output: firefox[17370]: pledge "", syscall 289 It looks like pledge is stopping Jitsi, as it should. Any suggestions at to how I could share a presentation through OpenBSD? I've tried Zoom but it doesn't work as well as Jitsi. Kind regards, Jonathan
supermicro 5019D-FTN4 server with AMD EPYC 3251 SoC Processor
Good day everyone Does anyone use supermicro 5019D-FTN4 server with AMD EPYC 3251 SoC Processor? https://www.supermicro.com/Aplus/system/Embedded/AS-5019D-FTN4.cfm Experience and dmesg would be perfect. I did not find any mention in the archive I'm looking for a new efficient router for 10" depth rack. Thanks

Chromium built but hasn't run on OpenBSD/i386 for several releases (but nobody mentioned it until a few months before 6.9 - at which point it was fixed, worked for a short while, but now it fails to build). Firefox had been OK up until 6.9 but it no longer builds. Iridium builds about 70% of the time at the moment on i386; but next time it's updated to a newwr chromium base that will probably stop too. You might eke out another release or two with an alternative browser (maybe qutebrowser) but in general 32-bit x86 is a dead end for this sort of software.

C style in OpenBSD
gday folks. first i will say i am do not consider myself well versed in machine languages. i have use plain tex for a while, and i use the odd bit of sh, sed, etc. i recently read K because sh disgusts me. i have seen a bit of some programming languages, but nothing very recent, and i cant say C or most any other language i have seen seem very sensible. i am have an account on a timesharing system in the CS school, but otherwise have nothing to do with them or any computer scholars. i have seen much comment from openbsd developers about bad C style. i would be thankful to see examples of `good' style, in case i wish to write some C for OpenBSD. (right now i am interested in fixing some bugs in vi.) also are there places for discussing such things, suitable for a newbie? cheers, reuben. p.s. one particular question i have is on the mandoc/main.c: i found the following: if (strcmp(progname, BINM_MAN) == 0) search.argmode = ARG_NAME; else if (strcmp(progname, BINM_APROPOS) == 0) search.argmode = ARG_EXPR; else if (strcmp(progname, BINM_WHATIS) == 0) search.argmode = ARG_WORD; else if (strncmp(progname, "help", 4) == 0) search.argmode = ARG_NAME; else search.argmode = ARG_FILE; much more readable as: search.argmode = strcmp(progname, BINM_MAN) == 0 ? ARG_NAME : strcmp(progname, BINM_APROPOS) == 0 ? ARG_EXPR : strcmp(progname, BINM_WHATIS) == 0 ?ARG_WORD : strncmp(progname, "help", 4) == 0 ? ARG_NAME : ARG_FILE; a style i came up with in imitation of some disgusting haskell code. any comments? --- ANSI 'K'&'R' is really just 'B' in disguise.
snapshot miniroot69.img not bootable anymore
Hello, I was using miniroot69.img to create an USB bootable stick using the FAQ method: dd if=miniroot69.img of=/dev/rsd1c bs=1m When I boot, using this USB stick i get this: Using drive 0, partition 0 Nos-system disk Press any key to reboot.
