After a very lenghy hiatus running Linux on my desktop, i decided to install FreeBSD after my HD died. (I had to try the new Flash Plugin Wrapper and the new Patchlevel for native Java2 1.4.1) Sofar, everything is running excellently, but i noticed a strange bug (feature?) that i have been unable to reproduce. a) Problem Right upon installing mozilla 1.5 from ports, i installed flashpluginwrapper-20031006, and found out that mozilla would fail to exit eating up CPU as if stuck in an infinite loop (Usage per top went up into high 90%'s) if the plugin was triggered (by viewing a flash movie) The same result was observed using the native java plugin (J2SE 1.4.1 patchlevel 4 from ports) I was running everything with userspace threads as per default (libc_r.so) and had linux.ko and linprocfs.ko loaded as modules. I decided to give libkse a try so i modified libmap.conf, and rebooted the system for good measure and mozilla works perfectly. (And responsivenes is excellent, and cpu usage much reduced, btw) b) Problem II Even reversing the changes i've been unable to reproduce the bug to allow further investigation! c) Ignorance from my part Is linux.ko necessary to run flashpluginwrapper ? I forgot to enable it in rc.conf and it seems to run equally well !? I'm running Current as of yesterday, with the GENERIC kernel [netvista /home/roberto] % uname -a FreeBSD netvista.spock.cl 5.1-CURRENT FreeBSD 5.1-CURRENT #0: Thu Oct 23 01:45:10 CLST 2003 root@netvista.spock.cl:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386 Thanks to everybody for the excellent efforts Regards Roberto
