Well, I'm stuck on FreeBSD 9.3, while I don't have to be, its just easier to support just the one release. Plus it would be a lot of work to change our current configuration management system to support two releases of FreeBSD. Another admin had been working on adding Solaris 11, which proved to be so much of challenge that it was decided to reinstall those servers with Solaris 10.
Though I still have two FreeBSD 9.1 servers to upgrade.
I might have to resort to using pkg repo on my home system.
In the meantime, I'm using chromium-44.0.2403.130 enter this message.
At first it didn't work in the usual way. Instead of one process consuming 100% of CPU, its now one process coming 200-250% of CPU and occasionally another chrome process consuming more than 100%, and with a few more that register with double digits. The only thing not working is my proxy switcher, which means I can't have the browser switch to the correct proxy goes through secure tunnel into work and the rfc1918 network ranges used there.. Or make use of other proxy services, such as the one I need to use if I want to view my cable bill (can't see if I go out through cable modem, but can if I go out over DSL
)
Though it left me on some proxy, and can't seem to get to it through settings....hopefully its my default HA one. Also I was briefly interrupted when my system froze and eventually rebooted (
watchdogd(8)). On return the first time I launched chromium, it wouldn't connect to anything. After letting it spin for while, saw it doing using more than 450% at one point, I killed it and restarted it, and now I'm online again. The one busy process seems to be capped at 100% now. There's something weird going on....
Maybe I didn't need to change to a different switch proxy extension, except that the other was no longer being maintained and this one is new.
I did get something working in Firefox during time when I was without Chromium. The only problem is I need to admin F5's, and the F5 devices use their dtca as the ssl cert for configuration utility. But, Firefox won't let me access such sites that present a cert with
isCA=TRUE. There is a workaround along with this know issue in SOL16161. But, not sure if I'll get go ahead or if I'll get tasked to do it... Probably better to do this on site anyways.
