libexpat.so.14.0 missing in latest -current
After upgrading to -current today I found that xenodm would not run because of a missing /usr/lib/libexpat.so.14.0_ Various other things didn['t work either, including vim. As a temporary work-round I made a link for it to libexpat.so.13.0, which seems to have made everything function again. -- Anthony Campbellhttps://www.acampbell.uk

I've now got the scanner working on my laptops (running -release). It still won't scan on my desktop, running -current; I think this happened after the last upgrade, so something must have changed somewhere.

Thanks for your reply, Stuart. Increasing the datasize limit as you
suggested doesn't solve the problem, I'm afraid, but iridium does work
I'm glad to say. Many thanks.

The reason for the "socket://" stuff in the previous configuration file was that this seemed to be necssary in my two laptops (running -release) so I tried it in the desktop (-current) as well. After successfully deleting/reinstallin the printer on the desktop this morning I did the same on the laptops and in both cases the printer now works perfectly with lpd on those as well. The only explanation I can think of is that last night I'd changed the printer's IP address from dhcpd to fixed, as suggested by someone on another list.

This is not yet working on my Desktop (-current) although the "printer not found" error no longer appears. I'm not sure which configuration I should post here - some of the files in /etc/cups? It's occurred to me that the problem on the desktop may have happened because on a couple of occasions recently after an upgrade I was unable to make the requested deletions (they disappared from the screen before I could do it). Tomorrow I'll try reinstalling Cups from scratch in case that fixes it. Anthony -- Anthony Campbellhttps://www.acampbell.uk
CUPS sudden refuses to print after previously working fine
I have a networked Brother-HL5350DN printer which has worked fine with CUPS for over a year. Two days ago it suddenly refused to print on my desktop running -current I reconfigured the printer several times without effect. I then set up CUPS on a laptop running -release. It also failed. In both cases the printer appears on screen and I can queue jobs for printing as normal but they don't print. The printer itself is working normally from my wife's computer. I cam ping the printer without difficulty. I turned on debug and found this: [Job 30] Unable to locate printer \"BRN001BA92DB44A\" I'm mystified. Whenever I've set up the printer in CUPS previously it has always worked. The only clue I found was on Arch Linux where they talk about needing to set up avahi jn such cases, but I don't know if that is relevant here. Any ideas gratefully received.

But I also agree with those who have said that producing books is a two-stage process, writing the text and preparing it as a book. So I start in vim, which is ideal for cutting, restoring, moving blocks of text, etc. I then import the result into LyX, but may go back to vim from time to time when big changes become necessar. The above is for books that are going to be printed. I only use libreoffice when I am compelled to provide a book in Word.doc format, as required by Smashwords. I dislike doing this but LyX can't produce Word.doc files. We often read that many good writers like to draft their books in longhand. I don't do that but starting in vim is my equivalent method. It gives maximum flexibility and I've used it for so long that it's become pretty intuitive to me. -- Anthony Campbellhttp://www.acampbell.uk

I've had fewer problems than with either Debian Sid or Arch Linux, both of which I'd used extensively before coming to OBSD. On the few occasions when problems I couldn't solve easily have arisen I've found answers thanks to kind people here, on daemonforums, or occasionally from the maintainer of a package. -- Anthony Campbellhttp://www.acampbell.uk

Firefox bug: 66.0.3 disables all extensions
After upgrading Firefox today to 66.0.3 in -current, all my add-ons were inactivated. A quick search showed that this is a widespread problem, apparently due to a bug in FF. I was able to fix it temporarily by means of a suggestion on ghacks.net to change xpinstall.signatures.required in about.config to "false". Presumably it will be fixed soon upstream. -- Anthony Campbellhttp://www.acampbell.uk

I also arrived here from Linux, a little over 3 years ago in my case, though it was a gradual switch taking about 6 months to be complete. I've been impressed by the stability of -current compared with Arch and Debian sid. I agree that where you find support for Obsd is a major difference from Liuux. In addition to the resources mentioned above I'd recommend www.daemonforums.org as suggested in Absolute OpenBSD. I read this site regularly and I've consistently found people there to be knowledgeable, helpful, and patient. Once or twice I've emailed the maintainer of a package I was having trouble with and found them very helpful. A. -- Anthony Campbellhttp://www.acampbell.uk
bsd.rd problem: wd0 is not a valid root disk
In the last 10 days several attempts to upgrade -current have failed owing to an error with bsd.rd. I get as far as choosing the keyboard; then I'm asked to mount the root system and am offered wd0. But when I accept that it says "wd0 is not a valid root disk". I then have to reboot. (The boot drive is on wd0a.) This is a recent developmet. I thought at first it was just a matter of waiting for a new version of bsd.rd to appear on -current, but I find I'm now getting the same error with bsd.rd from -release 6.1. But 6.0 does work correctly. This suggests to me that something is wrong on my setup locally but I don't know where to look. Google shows nothing relevant. I've tried fdisk -u and installboot to reconfigure the boot process but they make no difference. I thought of trying to reinstall but am reluctant to do that in case I'm left with a broken system. At least I have a working system at present, even though I can't uprade it. Can anyone kindly suggest what may be wrong? I attach dmesg from the last time I could upgrade.

Re: jwm ; speedy window manager

Of course that's chicken and egg so it's probably time I switched and found out. However simply getting a consistent dark theme across apps with differences between current and release is challenge enough. I've been using spectrwm very happily for over 3 years now, after trying other tiling WMs such as i3, xmonad, and dwm (which would be my second choice).

Anthony, I believe you're seeing messages from your x11/dbus package,
specifically, from dbus-uuidgen, which is run when you update the dbus
package.
The PLIST contains this instruction:
@exec ${PREFIX}/bin/dbus-uuidgen --ensure=${SYSCONFDIR}/machine-id
Luckily, its man page is also included in the package; the PLISTS
contains:
@man man/man1/dbus-uuidgen.1
:)
Thanks to both for replies and clarification.

Can OpenBSD access BBC Iplayer?
Greetings, list! I'm a long-standing user of Linux (currently ArchLinux) who is just trying out OpenBSD and so far is much impressed. I'm using a Thinkpad T42. The main outstanding problem at the moment is accessing BBC Iplayer, which insists on my having Flashplayer installed. After reading the FAQ and various lists I put libflashplayer.so in ~/.mozilla/plugins and installed the fedora_base package as suggested in the FAQ. I still can't use Iplayer. I saw somewhere that Chrome has inbuilt flashplayer but that doesn't seem to be the case. As a workaround I can use get_iplayer to download BBC programmes but is it possible to get a browser to access Iplayer?

Anthony Hi Anthony, In the past I have managed to get flash to work on OpenBSD - but flash has not worked reliablybut not having flash is a positive feature for me ;~) I have not managed to get iplayer to work in a browser. If you succeed could you let misc@ know it would be useful for the archives. Cheers Fred Thanks for the reply, which confirms what I suspected, viz. that it isn't going to work. If I find a solution I'll certainly report it.
