Re: Browser access to file system on new install OpenBSD missing.
The browser issue has returned. An open dialog window to upload a file or to open a file cannot find the downloads directory and it is impossible to access by using "recents" or "computer" in the open dialog window. Not sure what is going on, but it sure is irritating.
Web MIDI, Firefox, OpenBSD.
On a possibly related issue to my browser access to file system problem, has anyone been able to get Web MIDI working with Firefox on OpenBSD 7.1? Here I am referring to bandcamp.com and flowkey.com in particular. Neither site appears to be receiving any MIDI signal despite an Akai LPK25 (for testing) being registered by the system at umidi0. Flowkey requires ffmpeg to be installed, as well as prompting for the Jazz MIDI extension to be installed. Flowkey tabs crash and never make a MIDI connection. This has never happened to me with Win 11, Linux, of FreeBSD. The Bandcamp site simply doesn't register a MIDI device connected to the system, but doesn't crash the tab. Again, any constructive advice is welcomed.

For an upgrade that would be a good assumption, but for an install, the running system is the installer, the target filesystem is not even existing yet. > As a user, I expect it to go something like this: > I put the install sets someplace on the running systemm, say > /home/upgrade or /usr/rel.

I definitely shouldn't have to > include that in my answer (in my opinion) Yeah, I'm not arguing about that. I came to ask about this after reading the installer code, where comments are telling: * Accept a valid /mnt2 or /mnt relative path. * Accept a valid absolute path. Which (at least as I interpreted it) implies that you would give "home/upgrade" or "./usr/rel" for your use cases. But the second comment, and the way it is implemented, made me think the absolute pathes should work for ramdisk content. And the way the installer checks it makes '/' not search where the comment tells it should. So the modifications may just be to fix the comment and not change behavior. > > Is this in need for a modification, or is it good as-is ? > > I can submit a patch if you think it is useful. > > Speaking only for myself, I think it is working exactly as I'd > hope right now. > > I would spend some time thinking about why you are stuffing the > install files into the ramdisk rather than from an existing > file system or other more supported option. I think the "proper" > answers will work better for you all around. I am stuffing a siteXX.tgz in the ramdisk of bsd.rd, alongside the auto_install.conf file to do an automatic install on a VM. I want to avoid manual interactions with the VM, so the use of auto_install.conf, and the install.site script contained in the siteXX.tgz is for further customizations. -- Vincent Legoll

Since you have the situation happening, can I ask you to do two tests. Use ktrace against dhclient (without the recent execve change), and also against dhcpleased. then use kdump with the -R and -T options, and look at the timestamps to study dhcpleased's timing behaviour for querying. If there are lessons found in the timing of dhclient, maybe dhcpleased can become more forgiving.

That way there is always an accessible folder on the sidebar on which to click: echo "file:///tmp" >> ~/.config/gtk-3.0/bookmarks Many thanks for the tip. Interestingly, thanks to you I started digging around in the two systems to compare differences between them. I found what appears to at present be a solution. The system with the browser file dialog issues did not have a ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs file for some reason. This appears to have solved the problem for now, but I will keep your suggestion on the back burner should I need that as an alternative...
