Re: Continuous browser crashes

Thanks so much, I didn't know how to discover the login class of the user.. but I found it in file /etc/master.passwd

and my user is already in the staff class.

Thanks.

Hi, I would like to ask if it is normal that on a desktop with 8 giga I have continuous browser crashes. This happens on both firefox and chromium. In the past I had the same problems when I used openbsd as a virtual machine on a freebsd machine. And so I had justified it thinking that it depended on virtualization. Now instead I am on a physical machine and I have the same problems.
It is not the entire browser that crashes but only the tab. Let's say I have about 20 or 30 crashes daily. I had asked the same question on reddit and they advised me to modify the /etc/login.conf file to widen the memory limits. But this measure did not produce any results. Now login.conf should be the default after upgrade to 7.7
The machine is an old fujitsu machine with 8 giga from 2018.

To be precise, the machine is the following:

https://bsd-hardware.info/?probe=1ba76bf7e5
That is, I was the one who uploaded that data even though I am now on openbsd 7.7. But the package list and everything else is my machine.

My "id" is this:

uid=1000(my_user) gid=1000(my_user) groups=1000(my_user), 0(wheel), 20(staff)

and the following is staff on login.conf

staff:\
:datasize-cur=1536M:\
:datasize-max=infinity:\
:maxproc-max=512:\
:maxproc-cur=256:\
:ignorenologin:\
:requirehome@:\

:tc=default:

Thank you for any help.

lws.

Hi, you need not to be in the "staff" *group* but in the "staff" *class* :
# usermod -L staff my_user

Hope that helps
