[Qemu-devel] [FreeSBIE LVC] freesbie in qemu...

[Juergen Lock]

Hi!

 I tried FreeSBIE LVC (see announcement here:
	http://www.riondabsd.net/2006/10/13/announce-freesbie-lvc-is-out/
) in qemu today (with kqemu), and noticed a few things (stated X with
startx):

1. xfdesktop+Xorg+python together constantly kept the cpu busy (I've
seen this with earlier versions of FreeSBIE too, just run `top' on
a shell to check)

2. as a result, firefox takes ages to startup, and when it finally
starts it notices a ssl key out of date because the clock seems to be
way in the future (somewhere in 2087!?), and then it displays the
`firefox updated' page.  (I started it from the shell and it said
	** (firefox-bin:1306): WARNING **: Failed to send buffer
tho thats probably harmless.)

3. and there were a few (I think) `clock went backwards' messages on
the (guest's) console.

PS: host FreeBSD 6.1 i386, qemu 0.8.2 as in ports.

Yes. This is gdesklets' fault. I'm planning to remove gdesklets and
use something else.

MM..this can be qemu's fault. Anyway, I think I'll enable ntpd at
boottime.

Yes. My fault. It will be solved.

This is qemu's fault. I have no doubts about it.

Thanks for the report, it is much appreciated. 
I hope you'll enjoy FreeSBIE EW even more.
Best regards
