  Does PAE even work on non-Intel CPUs?  I thought it was Intel specific.

  The AMD recommended way of using 4+GB is to put the processor in 64bit
mode.  Can you try FreeBSD amd64 instead of FreeBSD i386?  PAE is rather a
crude kludge in comparison with 64bit native addressing, so if FreeBSD
amd64 works for you, it is definitely the better solution.

Re: Postfix locks 5.1-servers?

2003-10-29 Thread Tom

  Usually if networking locks up like this, you should check the mbuf
usage.  It is possible for resource starvation to cause a situation where
TCP connections are accepted, but can't be sent data.  "netstat -m"

  If that doesn't work, I would recommend cvsup'ping one of the machines
to -current.  5.1-p10 just has security fixes, not bug fixes.

  All the time or sometimes?  An unresponsive local console means that the
entire machine is blocked though, not just networking.  I'm using
5-current right now, and obviously I'm able to type this e-mail.

  Depends usually.  Some cards have auto-crossover detection now.  And so

  I hope you are using P3s, or Xeon CPUs not P2s, since P2s are not able

Re: Compaq Proliant 2500 - freebsd 5.1 install problems

  Sounds very similar to a problem that I have with FreeBSD 5.1.  As soon
as /stand/sysinstall is started, the display adaptor turns off!  This is
on a Dell Poweredge 6350 with 4xXeon 550s.  I never did get FreeBSD 5.x
working on any of the 6350s that I have, but 4.8 works perfectly.

  Just to be complete, there are already a whole bunch of machines that
will not boot 5.x, irregardless of the ACPI issues.  I've never been able
to boot 5.x with ACPI on or off, on any of the 5 Dell PowerEdge 6350
servers I have here, even though they run 4.9 perfectly.  I have a PR open
on it.

  So even without the ACPI issues on some hardware, there are still other
reasons why 5.x is going to fail to boot.

  Well, there are so many kinds of PERC cards.  Some are just Mylex cards.
Others are MegaRAID.  I think they use some Adaptec now.

  Either way, I tried booting the install CD with all cards disconnected,
just to see if I could get the installer up to the main menu.  No go.  The
display switches off as soon as sysinstall starts probing devices.  It
appears to panic, but the display is dead.  Once I was able to use
scrolllock at the critical moment just before the kernel starts
sysinstall, and prevent the display from switch off, but when I release
the scroll lock, I was at the DDB prompt.  Not good.

  Yes, the cards are physically out of the machine.

  "-p" seems unlikely, since the display is literally shutoff.  The
monitor goes into a power-save mode, so it appears that as soon as
sysinstall touches whatever devices it touches, the onboard video stops
generating output.  I've also tried a serial console, which seems to fail
the same way.  There is simply no output to the serial console after
sysinstall starts, and the machine appears to be hung.

  So, this was with 5.0 and 5.1.  I will have to try 5.2 and see if it has
the same problem.  No one has contacted me about my PR, or even given me
any suggestions about more debugging info that I can gather, so unless
this gets fixed by chance, I suspect that 5.x is just going to orphan a
significant number of machines.  Which is a shame, since 5.x would be
clearly superior on a quad Xeon machine than 4.9-RELEASE.

Kernel versions and kld modules [WAS: this of interest to anyone?]

This reminds me of something I wanted to ask about.  A little while
back I made the typical junior mistake of building/installing a new
kernel without doing the make install of the related modules.  In my
case, the crash came from kernfs and it was easy to boot single-user
and comment out a line in fstab.

But my question is with the trend towards more module-ization of the
kernel, does saving a /kernel.old make sense without saving a
/modules.old?  Should the config-generated Makefile for the kernel
have a target to build and install the new modules as well (as opposed
to installing them with make world)?  Should we install modules into
some path identified by a kernel version (whatever that means
exactly)?

The extreme end of this line of logic is the Linux module hashing
mechanism, which I've never fully understood.  My experience with it
is that it can prevent you from using a binary-only module (AFS is the
one I'm thinking of) even if the interfaces haven't really changed.
It seems like a poor substitute for proper management and versioning
of kernel interfaces.

I suppose much of this becomes a non-issue outside of -current, and
maybe that's why no one has seemed worried about it.  Even in -stable,
though, I suppose you could have incompatible kernel interfaces
introduced that might break modules.  It just seems to me that one
should consider /kernel plus /modules/* to be more of unit.

Thanks for any insights.

I see the same problem when trying to boot FreeBSD-3.0-RELEASE (or there
abouts) and later cdroms on my TP770.
I can boot FreeBSD-2.2.8 and earlier FreeBSD-3.0-SNAP cdroms just fine.  I
think it has something to do with the new boot loader that went in just

Re: Linuxulator: emulation? [was: Q: Extending the sysctl MIB...]

1999-08-16 Thread Tom Bartol


I absolutely agree with Jordan on this point.  I'm having an increasingly
hard time keeping our lab running FreeBSD over Linux due to pressure from
higher-ups who aren't in the technical trenches with me and who don't
understand the very good technical reasons I have for running FreeBSD
here.  One constant sticking point is the linux compatibility module.  The
higher-ups see the word "emulator" and all manner of warning messages go
off in their uninformed heads.  

In a previous e-mail on this or a related thread I saw the term:

"Linux image activator"

or something close to this pass by.  I think this term gave me a much
closer feeling to what I imagine is really going on the the "linuxulator"
than the term "emulator" and all its baggage.  So we could name it the
"Linux image activator" or "Lin-Axe" or some such...

But, with the letter "M" for example, m = milli-, M = mega-

Like Donn was saying, there's no reason not to do it every way.  Have the
different options selectable by either an environmental variable or a
command line switch.  I'd vote for default behavior as the traditional:

K = 2^10
M = 2^20
G = 2^30
T = 2^40
P = 2^50

.. but also have options for showing the entire unclipped file length,
"binary mode international abbreviation standard", and maybe even
scientific or engineering notation (for kicks).

How 'bout some sort of client program that is run via the rc.d and
rc.shutdown scripts?

When run on bootup it checks dmesg for "WARNING: / was not properly
dismounted", and tells a master server whether or not the last reboot was
intentional.

When run at shutdown it tells the master server the machine's uptime.

Of course it would also help to send a 'uname -v' in both situations.  This
system would have statistical flaws, but it is still an interesting idea.

Hmm, well the menu thing would surely suck, but we wouldn't really need
that info anyway.  Perhaps if the startup/shutdown info was just written to
/var/log/ and people could optionally enable (as in off by
default) something in /etc/rc.conf to actually send the info back to a
master server on a regular basis.  Even if the info isn't sent to the
master it could be parsed locally if so desired.

Again, just ideas..

Don't mean to butt in here, I haven't really been following the thread -
but I may have found a workaround/clue.  I have a Sony CDU-55E (ooold 2x)
on secondary master of the PIIX4 on my BP6.  By going into the BIOS (the
section of it where you would set CHS numbers, LBA, etc) and changing the
secondary master device from "none" to "auto", I have gone from:

SMP: AP CPU #1 Launched!
ata1-master: ata_command: timeout waiting for intr
ata1-master: identify failed
ad0: 9671MB disk  at ata0 as master mode UDMA33
Mounting root from ufs:/dev/ad0s1a

to:

SMP: AP CPU #1 Launched!
ad0: 9671MB disk  at ata0 as master mode UDMA33
acd0: CDROM  at ata1 as master mode PIO0
Mounting root from ufs:/dev/ad0s1a

I stumbled upon this quite by accident, but maybe it'll be of some help to
somebody...

BTW, this was on a kernel from around 20:00 GMT Jan 25

That was with 1.43

I just updated all the files in /usr/src/sys/dev/ata (ata-all.c v1.44) and
made a new kernel.  While rebooting I set the BIOS back to "none" and
watched FreeBSD boot.  No error :) - then I rebooted to kernel.old (1.43)
without touching the BIOS and the error came back.

Looks like you got it.

O.K. I've got a burner and boat loads of cheap media so no problem there.
One question though -- Once I've modified the sources as you've outlined
below, how do I make the bootable floppy image that gets written to the
CDR?

Understood (I think) :-)
On my Thinkpad I believe I've seen things like 0x8b or some such.  This
will be the first CD to burn...

I'd like to help look at this.  I have a ThinkPad 770 and it too exhibits
this behavior.  Unfortunately it's my only laptop so I can't loan it out
but I certainly would like to help out if I can.  I've got an

I believe RELENG_4 would refer to the 4.x-STABLE branch (??maybe??), since
it is different from 5.0-CURRENT but still not ready for it's first release.

I would like to mention one case where it would have been helpful to have
the .iso broken into smaller pieces.  I have a 21,600bps net connection
which my ISP will disconnect after 6 hours of uptime, and once had a friend
(whom is not nearby, but I see on on occasion) download the 3.3-STABLE ISO
image for me via his cable modem for me to burn to CD.  As luck would have
it the file's MD5 checksum did not match up, and I was forced to redownload
the entire file over my sloow modem connection (took around 6 days).  Had
the file been split and a checksum computed for each piece, I could have
grabbed only the affected portion of the ISO.

This said, I still do not believe it is worthwhile to split the ISO into
smaller files, as it only adds complexity to the situation.  Concatenating
the files back into an ISO would be OS-dependant and perhaps a bit too much
for first time users to cope with.  I just assume things stay the way they
are.  Also, should anyone care, I feel that gzipping these files is a waste
of time, unless server bandwith is a serious concern.

Anyone running CompuPic?

1999-09-09 Thread Tom Embt

Not sure which list this should go to, so if I'm in error feel free to
point me in the right direction.

I was wondering if anyone has had any luck running CompuPic
(http://linux.compupic.com) under FreeBSD?  It's an excellent image viewer
that can do some basic file management as well.  Along with Agent, it's one
of the few good apps available for Windoze, and I was excited when I heard
there was a free *NIX version available.  

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to get it to run.  I'm not in FreeBSD
right now so I'm working from memory, but I had some trouble with the
install process (it is obviously not as portable as they'd have you
believe).  I seem to recall setting $UID and installing bash, but the
script still bombed after it was installed.  Then I had to brandelf it.  I
tried both "Linux" and "FreeBSD" branding and one was working better than
the other though I don't recall which.  End result:  It starts to load,
brings up a splash screen, and exits.  I do recall it leaving messages on
the console but forget which signal it was dying with.  I can get more info
if it's wanted but first I'm just asking if anyone else has either had
better luck than I.

Here's a quote from the website:


"CompuPic is highly portable, and Photodex intends to support as many
target platforms as possible over time. CompuPic for Linux (and UNIX) is
available as a statically linked executable with no library dependencies
whatsoever. You need only a Linux or UNIX kernel to run CompuPic.

CompuPic has been tested with major Linux and BSD distributions and had no
distribution specific issues.

If you represent a hardware manufacturer or Linux/UNIX distribution
publisher, you can contact Paul Schmidt to discuss Photodex's development
plans for a specific platform.

They seem to make a point of saying "Linux/UNIX" and not referring to all
of *NIX OS's as "Linux", even going so far as to mention BSD once.  I was
therefor a bit surprised when the binary wouldn't run on FreeBSD.  I wonder
if The Powers That Be would be interested in pursuing the last sentence there?

FYI: My system is SMP 4.0-CURRENT from a day or two ago, XFree86 3.3.3.4
from packages, KDE-1.1 from packages, Linux emu running, etc.  As far as my
FreeBSD proficiency, lets just say I'm probably not the kind of person that
ought to be running -CURRENT :) so I don't think I'd be much help in
tracking down the problem (aside from being a guinea pig).


of course there also exists the possibility that I forgot to insert tab A
into slot B and CompuPic indeed runs perfectly in FBSD for everyone else..
and how did it get to be 3AM ?  Ugh.  well thanks to anyone who can
clue me in,

IIRC someone changed something in KDE recently to make icons work on big

IIRC it does update uptime properly after a suspend in 2.2.8 but does not

Yeah, that's what I meant by "correctly".  I don't recall seeing a
"thundering herd" effect afterwards.  Hmmm... which reminds me, I believe
this was not stock 2.2.8 but rather 2.2.8-PAO.  I had thought that the
lion's share of PAO code got merged into 3.0-current at some point.  When
I tried 3.0-current after this merge, suspend and resume worked fine on my
770 with the exception of uptime.

I confirm this as well.  Perhaps after suspend we need:

Allow ntp to update time and adjust boottime as necessary.
Then set uptime = time-boottime

Hehe - I'm running dual 540's (2.2V) on a BP6 (I'm guessing around 30 Watts
per CPU), extra case fan, big CPU fans, CD, TNT and an IDE drive (I've had
three hooked up once) - on a 235W power supply :) (Although it is probably
a better-than-average PS, it's the one that comes with the AOpen HX45 case).

One of these days I'm going to hook up a multimeter and see what it draws...

Perhaps you mean www.3dfxcool.com?

Here's my story:

I have two PHO fans from that place on my SL36C 366's (540's now).  I had
to do alot of tinkering to get them stable at that speed, in the end it all
comes down to temperature and luck.  One of my CPUs will do 550MHz (my
goal) with a little TLC, but the other has to be prodded harshly to get it
to 540Mhz.  In the end I have done the following:

- Realize that my heatsinks wouldn't fit over the angled levers on the ZIF
sockets.  Disassemble ZIF sockets and straighten metal levers in small
vise; reassemble ZIF sockets.

- Lapp the poorer CPU with successively finer grits of wet/dry sandpaper
(it's mirror-like copper color now :)

- Lapp the heatsink for this CPU

- Turn around the fans on the heatsinks (quieter and works with well with
next modification), using 3/16" standoffs made from vinyl hose and covering
the side gap with electrical tape to create a ducted "sucking" effect.

- Create a complicated cardboard air ducting system inside my case (I kid
you not!!) which uses a case80HO (80mm case fan) to suck air in the side
vents, blow it in between the CPUs and the AGP card, where the CPU fans
suck it back up through the heatsinks, and it gets ducted back out the rear
of the case.  This dropped CPU temperature by something like 4-5 degrees
Celsius IIRC, and is the key to this whole thing working reliably.  I think
the reason it helps so much is that it bathes the heatsinks in
room-temperature air instead of internal case-temperature air, and does not
allow "dead air" to recirculate around the heatsinks.  On the downside it
can reduce circulation for the rest of the components in the case, and
should be done with caution.

- Determine the "right" amount of heatsink goop to use, get it right and
don't ever touch them again.  Tip: apply this stuff with a clean single
edged razor blade.

- Play with CPU speeds and voltages doing ALOT of "make -j 12 buildworld"
on a nice warm summer day to seperate the settings that _mostly_ worked
from the ones that _really_ worked.  Some would run for >30 minutes without
a hitch only to sig11 at the last minute.  Turns out 2.2V is the sweet spot
for both CPUs.

In the end I have a very stable dual 540MHz system who's CPUs NEVER exceed
45C and case temp NEVER exceeds 40C (BTW, no A/C here, ambient 65-80F).
Was it worth it?  It depends what you're time is worth and if you enjoy
this sort of thing.  It's not for most people, but I certainly had fun.
Next project will be a water cooler (faster & quieter, yeah!), and after
that I may put a pair of peltiers between the water plates and the CPUs.

One must remember that a pair of fast CPUs is not always super useful.  My
compiling is still pretty much disk/memory bound, and what else uses the
real horsepower of two fast Celerons?  Games?  hah - I've only an original
TNT in this box, which is certainly the limiting factor in 3D stuff.  One
place I've found this system to really shine is running distributed.net
clients.  In RC5-64 I can get just over 3.0 Mkeys/sec, however right now
I'm trying to win the CSC contest (I've personally done about 0.006% of the
keyspace so far, out of ~57% total by all distributed.net members).  Am I
sick and twisted for being so concerned about busting keys?

The BP6 is certainly a fun board to play with in FreeBSD, particularly now
that the HPT366 is supported (Thanks Soren!), SMP is getting better every
day, and there's always new sources to compile.

PS - should this be moved to -hardware???  Man, I'm going to regret writing
all that, now I've got replies to deal with ;)

Re: Port of ext2fs fsck

1999-12-23 Thread Tom Embt

OK for starters, a disclaimer:

I have nearly zero experience with Linux.

..but I would guess that it is naming the disk much like BSD does, with
hdb1...hdb4 being the four bios partitions (BSD slices) and hdb5 and up
being the logical DOS-style partitions inside the other "DOS extended
partition(s)".  I believe Linux does make use of DOS "extended partitions"
in this way.

If this is true your RH /usr would be /dev/ad1s6, I think.  The entry in
/dev might not yet exist, though.

That would apply only to the DVD, not the hard drives of course, but still
there is no reason that reasonably modern equipment shouldn't work in
UDMA/33 mode.

Are the IDE cables new and in good shape?  Using each end connector before

Re: NEWCARD and Xircom (RBEM56G-100)

2002-01-21 Thread Tom Fischer

Hi Tom,

No, I have this same card running on a Toshiba Tecra 8100,
and it does indeed use the dc driver, and the ethernet part
of it does indeed work (I'm running Current, last updated yesterday).

The dc driver needs the miibus device configured in the kernel in order
to work correctly, and it appears as if you haven't configured
your kernel with this device- your dmesg is showing:

dc0:  port 0x1000-0x107f mem 
0x8400-0x84ff,0x84000100-0x8400017f irq 11 at device 0.0 on cardbus0
dc0: Ethernet address: 00:00:00:00:00:00
dc0: MII without any PHY!

while you should in fact be seeing something like:

dc0:  port 0x1000-0x107f mem 
0x84002000-0x840020ff,0x84002100-0x8400217f irq 11 at device 0.0 on cardbus0
dc0: Ethernet address: 2e:29:21:02:06:00
miibus0:  on dc0
tdkphy0:  on miibus0
tdkphy0:  10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, auto


I haven't been able to get the modem part of this to work since
October.  Warner had given us some hints on how to get this working
early last year, and it actually did work up until the 'sio' code
was broken out from isa and put under sys/dev/sio/.  This hadn't
really been a problem until yesterday, as I had been using an
Alcatel usb ADSL modem with the pppoa port to connect to the internet,
but yesterday's cvsup (or most likely earlier- before yesterday, I last
upgraded on 11/20/01) broke that as well- now I have no way of
connecting :-(

Warner, do you have any clues on how to get the modem half of this
card working again?

best regards,

tom

Promise/ATA-Raid making panic in -CURRENT?

2002-02-05 Thread Tom Servo

Hi!

I checked and compiled the recent -CURRENT tree,
buildworld and buildkernel goes all fine.

When booting it seems to crash on initialization of my
Promise controller and get "bad ivar request (4)". I
stripped all possible drivers out of the kernelconfig,
except for the ata driver, and it still crashes. I
then see a couple of pci0:  (no driver
attached), and when it should come to my Promise, BAM!

Anyone can tell me how I can disable the
ata-raid/Promise driver to test?

Thx /tso

Gonna try this evening.

I was first suspecting that it's the txp driver (I got
a 3com 3CR990 NIC), but when I disabled most drivers
incl txp, it didn't recognize all the cards, but still
never managed to get over my Promise.

I was in a hurry yesterday and let the kernel compile
w/o the ata driver while being under the shower.
Without the ata driver it does boot. Just wanted to
let you know. I'll take the Promise out when I got
some more time (latest friday evening).

Here's the box:

Asus CUV4X-D mainboard, VIA 694X, dual-capable
2x P3-933, 768MB PC133 RAM in 3 DIMM(s)
Two IBM IC35L 60.1GB disks on first IDE
Pioneer DVD-A05SZ on second IDE
Two IBM IC35L 60.1GB on Promise Fasttrak TX2
(PDC20268/70) in RAID0

How do I dump the dmesg when it crashs into the
debugger?

No, first time I compiled a -CURRENT.

I finally pulled the Promise out and it boots. Since I
need it for some Windows apps on the same box I put it
back in and commented some lines in ata driver
regarding the detection of Promise Fasttrak
controllers and it boots now w/o detecting it.

The -CURRENT kernel runs fine so far.

Well, maybe some other system/PCI code has been
changed and doesn't work so well with the detection
code in ata-raid.c? This would be my first guess, but
I am no big programmer and I'm even less aware how it
kernel internas work.

To be exact, I commented stuff in ata-raid.c,
ata-dma.c and ata-pci.c (everything related to device
ID 0x4d68105a). And I made ar_probe to return 1
immediately. Like this I can leave the Promise in w/o
getting that error.

It happens on GENERIC and the configured kernel.

PS booting verbose doesn't throw any usable info at
all.

PS2 my TX2 has BIOS 2.00 build 2 located in PCI slot
5. The mobo chipset is a VIA 694XDP.

I hope this info helps.

5.0-20010304-CURRENT panics during boot on Sony Vaio

2001-03-04 Thread Tom Uffner

all of the snapshots since the 24th have exhibited this same or
very similar behavior. 

when booting from the kern & mfsroot floppies i get:

i only get this on my vaio (PCG-XG9); several other pc's i
tried these boot floppies on boot and run sysinstall just fine.
none of my other test boxes have USB though.

no, it does not, at least not for the 5.0-20010210-CURRENT snap.
it boots from the floppies and once installed, from the disk. 

oh well, so much for the idea that it would be easier to get past 
the libc change by installing a snapshot...

ok, now i'm really confused. i built GENERIC kernels for every day
from the 2/10 to 2/25 and none of them panic. the snaps for the 24th
and 25th both during boot (only on my Vaio, not my other test systems)

could something outside the kernel have changed that made a difference?
or could it from building with different options? my /etc/make.conf has 
"COPTFLAGS= -O -pipe -march=i686". i presume that the snaps were built
without any optimization, could this make a difference?

Re: Userbase of -current

Add a data point for me using -current on my laptop in order to take
advantage of cardbus support (thanks Warner!).  I update about once every
two months, and so far my systems has been running flawlessly.

All our other FreeBSD systems (~60) are running various incarnations
of -stable...

Re: Removing USB keyboard after filesystems synced causes panic with destroyed mutex twa(4)?

2010-03-10 Thread Tom Couch
Hi FreeBSD-current,
 My name is Tom Couch,
I am part of the 3ware driver team recently acquired by LSI.
I believe Giovanni's patch, below, is the correct fix for this bug.

I am available to maintain the twa driver, now that I am on this list.
Let me know how I can help,

Tom

Just because they used to compile DOES NOT mean they were right.  It's
NOT right to define _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE on FreeBSD, see:

http://www.delorie.com/gnu/docs/glibc/libc_13.html


i realize this. i was just adding to the list of ports that no longer
build after this change. ghostscript is kind of important for print
support.

i doubt this is "right" either, but it is a quick & dirty way to
make mplayer compile again:

IANAL, but that is not a BSD license. It is the Sleepycat license,
which is compatible with GPL.

The giveaway is in section 3:

 * 3. Redistributions in any form must be accompanied by information on
 *how to obtain complete source code for the DB software and any
 *accompanying software that uses the DB software.

The '.. any accompanying software' clause makes it quite like the GPL.

Citation needed? I have a file server running amd64 8-STABLE with 4GB
of RAM, 6 x 1.5 TB drives in raidz, and have never had any problems
with memory usage. Are you saying that after my next update, adding
another 6 x 1.5 TB drives, it will start being flaky and/or panicing
with kmem_map too small errors?

What's your migration path? I went from 3.0-current to 3.0-release

4GB of RAM?!

1999-02-02 Thread Tom Bartol


Hi all,

Has anyone yet tried running -current on a Xeon with 4GB RAM installed? 
We're about to place an order for a Quad Xeon and would like to have 4GB
of RAM installed if it is feasible and/or possible to make this work with
-current. 

Thanks for the help,

Tom

At the time I was running a cvsup-15.4 client, as far as I
remember (since updated to cvsup-16.0) under 2.2-stable.
The system software was updated last as of Feb 13, 1999.
The ports tree was as up-to-date as cvsup could make it.

I got the info to fix it from John Polstra a year or two
ago, in reference to a source tree problem I was having at
that time, but had since forgotten about!  (blush)
 
The problem was old patch files that were not deleted by
cvsup, which will not delete anything that it did not either
write, or verify was there *and valid, expressly* on an update. 
It otherwise leaves trash lying around.

The first thing one has to do with cvsup is verify/register the files one
has by running it against the exact same release as the files one
has before running a cvsup update to get the later files.

Otherwise, as I understand it, any files deleted from the master tree
between the time your version of the ports tree was created
(usually when the cdrom distribution is created) and the first
time you do a cvsup run to update it, will NEVER be detected
and deleted by cvsup. An example, if you are running current
or RELENG_3 and happen to have inserted the required files or
symlinks to activate the softupdates code, cvsup will not
delete them.


Verification/registration is AFAIK not possible with ports, as there 
are not any separate cvs ports releases, as there is with the source tree.

I got around the problem by:
1) deleting /usr/sup/ports*
2) deleting /usr/ports/*
3) cvsuping the entire ports tree. (ouch)

This got rid of the invalid patch-aa file for perl5 as well as a
number of other invalid files that were in my tree, which was quite
old. All my ports are now running fine, and will continue to 
do so (hopefully).

Anyone that wants to cvsup the ports tree on a system would be 
well advised to "rm /usr/ports/*" before the *first* time they
run cvsup. This is particularly important if they have jost
installed an old release. The first run will then automatically
be a verification/registration run.

Thanks for your reply. It is much appreciated - I really did
not give any info, and I was frustrated. Forgive me.

Cheers, 
Tom

Gnome2 terminal will not work right

2003-03-07 Thread Tom Parquette
People have been saying that 5.0-CURRENT problems belong here.
I don't know if this is Gnome2 or Xfree86...
I noticed tonight that the Gnome2 desktop terminal stopped working.
When I open a terminal window, I do not get a command prompt.  I have a 
flashing solid block cursor in the top left corner of the window.
I tried various key combinations and nothing seems to get its attention.
If I file/close or hit the "X" in the top right corner, I get kicked out 
to the command prompt, where I entered startx, or to the GDM2 signon 
screen.  I'm reading this as an X server crash.  I'm seeing some dumps 
for "Interfearance" but I do not think that is related.  Nothing else 
appears to be broken at this point.  

The X logs are inconclusive.
However, I'll include one that hints at a failure.
"Fatal server error:  xf86OpenConsole: VT_SETMODE VT_PROCESS failed"
I've had this happen to root and to my non uid0 personal account.
Any ideas folks?

Both work fine for me in -CURRENT.

 

I noticed tonight that the Gnome2 desktop terminal stopped working.
   

What changed between the last known working date and tonight?
 

Joe,  Nothing that I know of.  I did a make buildworld/buildkernel on 
this machine that was NFS mounted on another but I have not installed it 
on this machine yet.  I was fighting with portupgrade to get the 
database consistant but I do not believe it went into Gnome-land.  The 
problem simply appeared after I had left the Gnome2 session open 
overnight and picked it up sometime the next day.

 

The X logs are inconclusive.

What do you have in your ~/.xinitrc?  Can you also send the output of
pkg_info?  Also, have you tried removing ~/.gnome2/session, and see if
that helps?
Joe
 

There is no .xinitrc for this user id.  I use GDM2 and that path brought 
up Gnome2.  I noticed it but, I never questioned it beyond that.
I have not tried removing .gnome2/session.  I can try that.  I'll attach 
pkg_info to the end of this reply.
I do not know what the importance of this is but I keep seeing dumps for 
something called Interfearance.  I do not know what it is or what it 
does.  I also have not gotten around to researching what it is.  I 
mention it here FWIW.

Booting FreeBSD out of redboot should be no problem. I have used the 
redboot loader on a Intel NAS to load a FreeBSD kernel and boot 
successfully, this was an arm core rather than mips however.


If you have a working redboot you can also use the redboot shell to 
flash your kernel (with embedded MFS image) into the SPI part and then 
rewrite the load script to boot that.


The debian-installer armel handbook had some useful docs in it for the 
platform I was working on, as well as the official redboot site.

Hi everyone,

I've just pushed the initial support for the AR9100 wireless MAC into
my git repository. This is for the WMAC on the AR9132 SoC.

I've tested it in 11bg hostap mode on an AP83 derived box - the
TP-Link TL-WR1043ND. The source tree has support for the CPU, ethernet
(but not the switch PHY; it's enough to get data across it!); flash
and the AR9100 WMAC.

I've only tested "open" hostap mode on 11bg on a fixed channel.

The GIT repo is at:
http://www.gitorious.org/~adrianchadd/freebsd/adrianchadd-freebsd ;
it's the "work/atheros" branch. You'll need to open the unit up,
solder on some pins to get to the serial port and acquire a TTL ->
RS232 level converter. There's pictures and howto on the OpenWRT wiki:
http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/tp-link/tl-wr1043nd
   

That sounds really nice!  Is there some guide on how to prepare an image?
  I'm quite familiar with OpenWrt (patching and building) and have a number
of routers (WRT-160N, WR941NL, 500gP) with serial adapters attached, but
from the messages on the mips list, it felt the bootstrapping process might
be a bit dauting...

USB 1.1 devs not working on ASUS K8VSE (x86) MB

2010-12-09 Thread Tom Uffner

I have a fairly recent Current system running on an ASUS K8V SE Deluxe MB.

It was a dual boot amd64/x86 system (until a few days ago when the drive
w/ the amd64 partitions unexpectedly failed after only a week of use)

When running it as x86, USB 1.1 devices are not recognized by FreeBSD.
They worked fine on the amd64 kernel built from the same code. both
ohci and uhci are in the kernel even though they don't show up in dmesg.
the devices in question (currently a 1.1 hub and a mouse) are both seen
and activated by the BIOS but turned off once FreeBSD takes over.

I had the same problem with GENERIC kernels from the 9.0-current-201011
snapshot, so it is not my kernel config.

the mouse also works fine on either x86 or amd64 when plugged into a
USB 2.0 hub or a PS2 adapter. and both these devices worked w/ the x86
kernel on the previous incarnation of this system with an ASUS A7N8X MB
(NVIDIA chipset) so i suspect that the problem may be in the initialization
code for the Via chipset.

thanks in advance for any help,
tom

according to kldstat -v, both "uhci/usbus" & "pci/uhci" were present in
my kernel but one or both of them was silently failing.

apparently something in my sources was corrupt because deleting all of
the USB related code from my CVS root, re-csuping it, and building a
fresh kernel solved the problem.

thanks for the help.

  Probably wouldn't be affective anyhow.  L2 switches assume that they can
encapsulate 1500 byte ethernet frames into 802.1q properly.  It is part of
the 802.1q standard.  If the NIC can't understand the frame because it is
now 1504 bytes, it will be a layer 2 discard.  There will be no ICMP
message sent in this case.  You could argue that the switch should also be
configured with a 1456 byte MTU to allow for the addition of the 802.1q
encapsulation.  But a L2 switch is not going to send a L3 message like a
ICMP "unable to fragment" fragment.  So MTU detection buys you nothing.

  The fact of the matter is, if you use 802.1q encapsulation, the total
frame size can be 1504.  That is the standard.

Could be a problem with your gtk12 port.  You might try rebuilding it.
I removed flashplugin-mozilla and installed flashpluginwrapper.
The screen painted but when I put the mouse pointer in the flash window,
it indicates the movie was not loaded.
However, I'm not getting error messages/crashes, per se.
I would remove the flashplugin-mozilla-0.4.10_2 package, and install
www/flashpluginwrapper instead.
I've picked up a different problem...
When I try to click on links off of the historychannel web site (either 
javascript or to another html page) I get the following:
mozilla-bin in free(): error: page is already free
I cannot identify any pattern to this message but once it is issued, I 
have to control-C out of mozilla-gtk2 in the window I started it from.
I have not found any other way to get out of the problem.  Put another 
way, when I get this error, Mozilla is dead but control-C will get rid 
of the hung application.

Re: Mozilla V1.3.1 crashing on FreeBSD 5.1-C (older cvsup level)

2003-08-14 Thread Tom Parquette
Joe,
I cvsuped my ports tree and portupgraded mozilla and mozilla-gtk2 (I 
never noticed there were two flavors installed until now.)
As a quick sidenote, the descriptions of the two ports are functionally 
identical.  I noticed minor toolbar differences and some font 
differences and in the tests that I'm going to describe mozilla-gtk2 
appears more resilient.   Is one recommended over the other?

Getting back to business...
Using Mozilla-gtk2 (v1.4):
A window appears with "Default Plugin" in the title bar.
The exact text is: This page contains information of a type
(application/x-shockwave-flash) that can only be viewed with
the appropriate Plug-in.  Click OK to download Plugin."
When I close out of Mozilla-gtk2 the following appears in the terminal 
window:
$ mozilla-gtk2
No running window found.
/dev/dsp: No such file or directory

(mozilla-bin:62160): Gtk-WARNING **: A floating object was finalized.
This means that someone called g_object_unref() on an object that had
only a floating reference; the initial floating reference is not owned
by anyone and must be removed with gtk_object_sink() after a normal
reference is obtained with g_object_ref().
$
I don't know if this is something I have to worry about.
The plus side is, Mozilla-gtk2 (v1.4) does not crash.
When I try Mozilla V1.4 I can very briefly see the page painting before
mozilla crashes.  The messages are a little different:
$ mozilla
No running window found.
/dev/dsp: No such file or directory
open dsp: No such file or directory

pkg_info indicates I have "flashplugin-mozilla-0.4.10_2 A GPL standalone 
Flash (TM) plugin for Mozilla web browser"
 installed.  I have not checked to see if the plugin needs to be 
upgraded yet because I'm looking for a misconfigure for the plugins.

Thanks for your help.

What is the actual status of Audigy2 support in 5.1-CURRENT?

2003-08-18 Thread Tom Parquette
Hi.

I would like to get an Audigy2 Platnum card working on my AMD dual 
processor system.  I'm 5.1-CURRENT but I tend to hang back a little.
I have "device pcm" and "device sbc" in the kernel.  When the system 
didn't figure out the card I added "device firewire" "device sbp" and 
"device fwe" to the kernel to see if the probes could figure out the 
firewire interface.

The system appears to locate the firewire components of the card.
It does not seem to understand the sound component.  I get the following 
at boot time:
pci2:  at device 5.0 (no driver attached)

I was following the discussion on the -current list about the Sound 
Blaster Audigy2 support.  I do not know if the discussion continued off 
list but I suspect it might have.

A dogpile search turned up a patch file  emu10k2.txt.  From the 
discussion thread in bsdforums I was unable to determine if this was the 
same patch file also mentioned in the -current mailing list threads. 
The first few lines of the patch file I have read:
diff -u old-emu10k1/emu10k1.c new-emu10k2/emu10k1.c
--- old-emu10k1/emu10k1.c   Mon Feb 10 03:01:34 2003

5.1-CURRENT rebooting (multile systems) -- How to troubleshoot?

2003-10-18 Thread Tom Parquette
Hi.  This is the third time I've tried to write this Email.  Things keep 
failing out from under me.
This did not happen before I cvsuped Oct 14 to get around the -pthread 
problem with ports.

Either my server (I NFS mount /home from the server machine) or the 
desktop machine have failed unpredictably multiple times.  Sometimes 
under load, sometimes it appears they fail overnight when only 
setiathome is running on them.  They are dual processor Athlon machines.

I have not seen any messages from any of these failures.  I have seen 
one failure on the server that indiated a page fault in kernel mode.  I 
didn't write all of the information down because I thought it would be 
logged in one of the logs.  Wrong again idiot!!

I do not have any doc on these and generic searches didn't turn up 
anything I can hang my hat on.

My question is, if the system fails (I'm assuming these are panics) how 
do I get the machine to NOT automatically reboot so I can copy down the 
failure information?  (Unless these are logged somewhere I have not 
found yet.)
I'm frustrated because I cannot get any information on the failures to 
even begin to formulate a sane posting to the list.
Sorry for the rambling posting.  I'm venting a little.  I'm used to 
fixing mainframe system software.  I am still trying to learn the skills 
on my own for FreeBSD.

TIA for any help.

I agree completely.  I had just recently run into this problem in a big
way over gnome.  I am not familiar at all with the inner workings of the
ports/package database system but it occurred to me that perhaps the
database is currently only storing which packages a given package depends
upon and is NOT storing which packages depend upon a given
package -- i.e. the leaves know which branch they are on but the branches
don't know which leaves they bear.  If this is in fact the case then it
seems to me that a first step in improving the behaviour of the
port/package system is to make the database be a leaf-to-branch and
branch-to-leaf linked relationship tree that can be traversed as needed.
I'm not sure of the standard Computer Science jargon to describe such a
tree.

And on this note -- is it planned to merge or backport these patches to
-stable?  We make very heavy use of NFS (udp, 100mb fxp0 fullduplex). 
We're using FreeBSD-3.1-STABLE as NFS clients to a big Auspex NS7000 NFS
file server.  We're in production mode in our lab and can't risk running
-current on many of our machines so we've decided to run -stable on ALL of
them (except perhaps MY machine but don't tell anyone ;-)

I had a similar problem w/ a 4309.

If you haven't solved this already, please check that the radio is
actually enabled. some laptops have a button. some have a key sequence.
many also have a BIOS setting. mine looked pretty much the same as yours
to FreeBSD but just endlessly scanned the channels for a signal until i
noticed that the radio was disabled in BIOS.

patch submission for multiple branches

2010-06-08 Thread Tom Couch
I have updated the twa driver (src/sys/dev/twa) and generated patches
against RELENG_7 and RELENG_8.
I submitted the patches separately in PR 147694 (RELENG_7) and PR 147695
(RELENG_8).
PR 147694 has been closed as a duplicate of PR 147695.

What happens to the patch for RELENG_7 (PR 147694)?
What is the proper way to submit patches for multiple branches?

Ports doesnt respect fetch environment settings

2010-06-21 Thread Tom Evans
My company recently enabled proxy authentication for outgoing
connections, and this has stopped ports from working.

>From fetch(5), I understand that I can place my proxy authentication
in plain text in the environment*, and this will allow fetch to work
correctly, and this does work:

googlecl-0.9.5.tar.gz 100% of   36 kB   77 MBps

However, the ports makefiles seem to do something funky to my
environment which hides these environment variables, and so the ports
infrastructure stops working:

Stop in /usr/FreeBSD/CURRENT/ports/net/googlecl.

This is on i386 7-STABLE, last updated in mid May, with current ports,
last updated yesterday.

Er, ok that makes slight sense. In /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk it says:

# FETCH_ENV - Environment to pass to ${FETCH_CMD}.
# Default: none

So how is it picking up that it needs to go thru a proxy at all, given
that this is also only specified in the environment?

Also, am I supposed to literally repeat my same environment variables
in FETCH_ENV? Meaning I have to place my password in plain text again
in my environment? This is horrific...

Also, even after doing that, it still doesn't look at the environment
variables. I prepended "-v" to FETCH_ENV to show that it is setting
the right environment variables, but fetch in ports is still not
looking at them:

*.freebsd.org is whitelisted through the proxies, which is why the
second fetch gets a 404 and not a 407

Any thoughts?

Yes, I went through the same logic - its not the 'p' flag, its the 'A'
flag, which is supposed to prevent it following 302 redirects.

In this case, it refuses to retry the request when it receives a 407.

remote size / mtime: 37867 / 1276839258

That doesn't seem right!

Looking in lib/libfetch/http.c it tries to fetch the file in a loop.
libfetch first tries without proxy authentication, even if you specify
it in your environment.
If the request fails due to proxy authentication being required, it
sets a flag to add proxy auth details next time through the loop, and
continues.
If the '-A' flag is set however, it will only go through this loop one
time, and so does not attempt to use the supplied proxy
authentication.
Comments in the source code imply that this is a change in behaviour
introduced at the start of the year to support digest authentication;
prior to that it would have attempted proxy auth on the first request.

The flag for '-A' is documented as:

 -A  Do not automatically follow ‘‘temporary’’ (302) redirects.
 Some broken Web sites will return a redirect instead of a
 not‐found error when the requested object does not exist.

where as the behaviour is:

Do not attempt to download this file more than once, for any reason.

Having seen this, the bug is that we wish to go thru the loop one more
time to retry with proxy authentication added, but the loop may exit
on the next iteration. This diff allows it to go through the loop one
more time, and now fetches the file correctly.

Incidentally, having fixed fetch to work with '-A' thru a proxy that
requires proxy auth, I now dont require anything in FETCH_ENV or
FETCH_*_ARGS, it works correctly with the PROXY_* environment
variables.

Patch attached.

Cheers

I also have this in make.conf:
CUPS_OVERWRITE_BASE=yes
WITHOUT_LPR=yes

which print/cups-base uses to do make any lpr related binaries in
/usr/bin non-executable, so they are skipped over and the cups
specific ones in /usr/loca/bin are used instead. WITHOUT_LPR just
stops LPR being built by buildworld.

I notice the traceback is in the UMA zone allocaor. Did it used to be stable?
ZFS recently changed to using the UMA allocator, and I found this made
my system less reliable. Does disabling this help? Add this to
/boot/loader.conf:

vfs.zfs.zio.use_uma=0

The error in your first email was clearly a warning being promoted to
an error, so either you had a different error on your build with
NO_WERROR/WERROR, or your NO_WERROR/WERROR settings were not being
respected. Please retry with NO_WERROR/WERROR set in /etc/src.conf,
and show the resulting error.

make delete-old removes old deprecated files, not files that weren't
built because of src.conf options. It definitely will not remove the
lpr binaries from /usr/bin if they exist there.

There already is a proper solution for this: if you want to have LPR
from CUPS, and don't want to use LPR from base, then you set these
settings in make.conf:
CUPS_OVERWRITE_BASE=yes
WITHOUT_LPR=yes

With these, lpr in base will not be built, and print/cups-base will
deactivate any base system lpr binaries that are installed. It's
documented in the FreeBSD CUPS article here:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/articles/cups/article.html#PRINTING-CUPS-PORTS-KNOBS
