Re: The clock is running too fast
Hi Dan, Thanks for your advice. I had a similar problem on one of the machines at work. Here is a memo I made to myself to remind me of how to fix the problem in the future: The ACPI-safe Timecounter does not work (it is way, WAY too fast). To get around this, add the following line to /etc/sysctl.conf: kern.timecounter.hardware=i8254 Added above line to /etc/sysctl.conf $ cat /etc/sysctl.conf vfs.usermount=1 kern.timecounter.hardware=i8254 Now only 2 lines in this file. I have adjusted the clock thereafter and will check it again later There are multiple pieces of hardware capable of supplying timing information to the OS. dmesg | grep Timecounter should give you a list of all such devices. I think this is an ACPI-related problem, since that is the technology I understand the least at the moment. $ dmesg | grep Timecounter Timecounter i8254 frequency 1193182 Hz quality 0 Timecounter ACPI-safe frequency 3579545 Hz quality 1000 Timecounter TSC frequency 350797051 Hz quality 800 Timecounters tick every 10.000 msec Shall I run 'ntc' to synchronize the clock.

How to get an overview of the installed ports
Hello, I've installed some apps and deinstalled them again because I didn't like them. While installing them other software was installed too but I think it wasn't removed when I removed the unwanted programms. Is there a possibility to get an overview which ports are installed and how they are linked? something like this: appA needs appB appC needed by appD appE appF appB needs -none- needed by appA ... Then I could go through the list and see which programms I have to remove in order to get a cleaner system. greetings from crailsheim, germany ronald höllwarth pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

Re: php installation problems
Why don't you use portupgrade instead? You can install it via /usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade if you don't have it.

Format=flowed isnt actually at work there, but since BLOCKQUOTE text flows nicely when you resize a window, the effect is the same. I've never heard of this f=f stuff and don't have time just now to investigate, but I'll keep typing anyway. I think the problem is the same but worse. f=f is probably spec'd in a new draft RFC and many mail readers don't support it, so your correspondents on a list list this can't handle it well. According to the FAQ, it (f=f) was developed (IIRC) by Qualcomm to not solve any problem in particular. However, this form of formatting would allow text to be easily formatted into columns readable by any kind of simple display...i.e., PDAs and cellphones with text messaging and email, etc. and at the same time it would easily scale to larger (PC) displays with pretty formatting and proper wrapping. Older readers would just ignore the formatting characters and mangle it accordingly. Oddly enough (if my current theory holds) where the invisible f=f formatting is inserted in an Apple app is dependent on the width of the composition window...which on my iBook really sucks because this window looks so NARROW compared to what I'm used to, hoping that other people's mail readers work a little better with reading my posts to the list. I haven't heard other people complaining as much about my mail wrapping at the 120 mark, so I'm hoping that maybe this will make it easier for others...

no text in drscheme
I don't know if this is a DrScheme issue or if it's a FreeBSD/X issue, so I hope you'll indulge the cross-post. I recently did an upgrade of several ports on my system, DrScheme being one of them. Now when I run it, there is no visible text in any of the menus or dialog boxes. The buttons and other controls are there, just sans text. Has anyone ever seen this before? Any ideas for what I could check? The version of drscheme on my machine now is 206p1. I'm running FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE-p3. I don't know exactly which software upgrade caused drscheme to stop working, but it has worked previously on this machine, and I haven't noticed problems in any of the other X apps I use (though that isn't very many). Another interesting point is that the same thing happens if I try to run an older version of drscheme from a school computer (i.e. ssh -X hostname drscheme). From the terminal of the remote computer, drscheme works just fine. Any ideas greatly appreciated.

RE: The clock is running too fast
Hola I'm sorry, I don't know what 'ntc' is. Do you mean 'ntp'? You can use ntp or not ... if your timing hardware is off, ntp will constantly try to slew the time back to where it should be, which will a) mean your systems concept of time is very non-linear and b) fill the log with warning messages. It's actually a good check to see if the timer's good (although an slmost equally good check is to sit there and look at the clock). I forgot to mention that besides changing /etc/sysctl.conf, you have to reboot. If you don't want to reboot, you will have to do sysctl kern.timecounter.hardware=i8254 at a prompt. But I'm not sure if that's a value that can be set after the system boots. I suggested i8254 because it's the only device that was supplying good time values on my system. If you have trouble with that device, you might also want to try TSC. -Dan -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Stephen Liu Sent: March 19, 2004 01:12 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: The clock is running too fast Hi Dan, Thanks for your advice. I had a similar problem on one of the machines at work. Here is a memo I made to myself to remind me of how to fix the problem in the future: The ACPI-safe Timecounter does not work (it is way, WAY too fast). To get around this, add the following line to /etc/sysctl.conf: kern.timecounter.hardware=i8254 Added above line to /etc/sysctl.conf $ cat /etc/sysctl.conf vfs.usermount=1 kern.timecounter.hardware=i8254 Now only 2 lines in this file. I have adjusted the clock thereafter and will check it again later There are multiple pieces of hardware capable of supplying timing information to the OS. dmesg | grep Timecounter should give you a list of all such devices. I think this is an ACPI-related problem, since that is the technology I understand the least at the moment. $ dmesg | grep Timecounter Timecounter i8254 frequency 1193182 Hz quality 0 Timecounter ACPI-safe frequency 3579545 Hz quality 1000 Timecounter TSC frequency 350797051 Hz quality 800 Timecounters tick every 10.000 msec Shall I run 'ntc' to synchronize the clock.

Re[2]: cdrom mount problem
*This message was transferred with a trial version of CommuniGate(tm) Pro* I had a problem with burncd where I couldnt access the disk after burning. I couldnt eject or mount it. It required a reboot to get it. I couldnt solve it but I was able to work around it by using cdcontrol. See the man page for all options but breifly you can eject and then close the disk by cdcontrol -f /dev/acd0 eject cdcontrol -f /dev/acd0 close I cant remember exactly what I did but I am sure I just ejected by software then put back in and it worked fine. It was as if somehow something was holding onto the disk. I thought it was maybe my windows partition getting lonely. Thanks for the advice, but it's not working: cdcontrol eject cdcontrol close cdcontrol: Input/output error cdcontrol stop cdcontrol: Device busy cdcontrol reset cdcontrol: Device busy cdcontrol close cdcontrol: Input/output error I better call someone to peek at it, so see if the tray is open now but it was worth a shot!

Re: How to know last files installed ?

Trouble with CF PC card
Hello, I was recently given a Socket Low Power WLAN card, in compact flash form. I've been trying to get in running plugged into the compact flash reader on my old IBM X20 laptop. It's running FBSD 5.2.1. I'm not really sure how to proceed. I've never tried to run wireless stuff on FreeBSD, or to run it on a laptop for that matter. When the card inserted the machine reads it as follows (I'm doing this from memory) pccard1: unknown card some hex codes for product and manufacturer pccard1: CIS info Socket, CF+ LP WLAN Card Rev B So the card appears to be picked up and identified correctly, at least on the second line. Moreover, it is listed as a supported chipset in the wi man page. But: wicontrol yields SIOCsomething I don't quite remember device not configured. ifconfig -a lists only the loopback interface. running pccardd yields something like NO PC CARD I do have pccard_enable in rc.conf and if I boot with the card plugged in, it is listed in the boot log, in the same manner as above. I'm sure the problem is that I don't know what the hell I'm doing and the solution is not immediately obvious. Can anyone recommend a place where I can rtfm? So far I've seen only stuff for wicontrol, which isn't working for reasons I don't grasp.

Re: dating a ports tree
Thank you for your answer. I learned something, but I still appear to be missing something obvious. My supfile is appended below. Using the line *default tag=RELENG_5_2_1_RELEASE list=cvs:RELENG_5_2 works as I anticipate for src-* collections, creating checkout files with the appropriate name. However, even with the line *default tag=RELENG_5_2_1_RELEASE list=cvs:. above the ports-* collections, this supfile results in cvsup deleting all the files in my ports tree.

dump/restore issue

So I did a dump over ssh to another box with a working tape like this: dump -0u -a -b 64 -f - /dev/da1s1e | ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] dd of=/dev/nrsa0 Then to check the dump on srv2 I did restore -i -f /dev/nrsa0 which came back and said the tape block size was different than the dump block size or something like that. From my reading of the dump man page the -b parm controlled the block size of the chunks that dump wrote, but was NOT connected to the actual block size of the tape. Since this tape is a variable block device, I went ahead and set -b to the max... But now what do I do about restore? Is there a better way to control tape block size when piping through ssh? ie, dd of=/dev/nrsa0 bs=512??

When f=f mailers that also can handle HTML encounter BLOCKQUOTE text, its usually marked up with the same excerpt bars were familiar with from f=f. Format=flowed isnt actually at work there, but since BLOCKQUOTE text flows nicely when you resize a window, the effect is the same. I've never heard of this f=f stuff and don't have time just now to investigate, but I'll keep typing anyway. I think the problem is the same but worse. f=f is probably spec'd in a new draft RFC and many mail readers don't support it, so your correspondents on a list list this can't handle it well. According to the FAQ, it (f=f) was developed (IIRC) by Qualcomm to not solve any problem in particular. However, this form of formatting would allow text to be easily formatted into columns readable by any kind of simple display...i.e., PDAs and cellphones with text messaging and email, etc. and at the same time it would easily scale to larger (PC) displays with pretty formatting and proper wrapping. Older readers would just ignore the formatting characters and mangle it accordingly. Oddly enough (if my current theory holds) where the invisible f=f formatting is inserted in an Apple app is dependent on the width of the composition window...which on my iBook really sucks because this window looks so NARROW compared to what I'm used to, hoping that other people's mail readers work a little better with reading my posts to the list. I haven't heard other people complaining as much about my mail wrapping at the 120 mark, so I'm hoping that maybe this will make it easier for others...

Re[2]: 5.2(x)-RELEASE panic booting
Hi Guy Harrison, you wrote. Do you get the same result if booting without ACPI? GH Yes. I'm assuming here that the [default] boot option does not have ACPI GH enabled (if so, how to disable it?). The boot results are identical to GH when I select option 2 to boot with ACPI enabled. I too get a page fault when trying to boot from that ISO on a P3 1GHZ with SiS 630 chipset. I think my memory is fine as it ran through 10 memtest runs without a single problem (my original motivation was to install 5.2.1 on that box to check whether the weird MySQL issue really doesn't exist on Intel CPUs). It is fine on an Athlon XP2400 using VIA KT400 based mainboard though. Not my month this - you name it, and its gone wrong, packed up, vanished or plonked itself nicely into the bizarre category. Fwiw, it appears I have a cheap Alladin V clone. Booting can be achieved by disabling power management in the BIOS *plus* fiddling with an IRQ3 option that I don't fully understand (can't get a decent bios manual). That'll get the machine to boot. Next problem manifests itself as dodgy ram - gcc bz2 failures. Default CS latency is Auto but setting it specifically to match the ram (CS=2) improves things greatly. The north/south bridge chips don't match any datasheet - iirc it appears one is off one particular release series, the other off the next mobo release. Finally nailed the remaining reliability problem down to UDMA. Moment I turned it off, spurious faults went away and haven't re-occurred since. Obviously this mobo is a pile of junk.

CMS on FreeBSD
I'm thinking about setting up a FreeBSD-based CMS/intranet and wanted to know what other people were doing. I have a tiny bit of experience with PHP-Nuke because my webhost uses it. Although I have no real complaints about it, I am not wedded to it. PHP-Nuke is in ports and was recently upgraded to 6.9 after stagnating at 6.0 for a long time. This makes me concerned that if I invested in it, and the need for an update came, I might be SOL for a while due to lack of a maintainer. As it is right now, it is marked FORBIDDEN due to a vulnerability with versions below 7.1. Also, there seems to be a lot of hatred towards PHP-Nuke. I don't claim to understand it, but I can accept they might know something I don't. I do know that PHP is rather easy for me to work with, as I've tweaked many pages on my hosted site. I am also not turned away by the fact that PHP-Nuke depends on MySQL as I have used it with Bugzilla and it doesn't scare me. Looking at other options, there comes Postnuke. Seems a pretty-popular close-relation to PHP-Nuke, however the version in ports seems 2+ years old. So there is the maintainership issue again. And a lot of people hate BOTH *Nukes, for perhaps good reasons I don't totally grasp, so there's that too. Diverging a bit, I noticed Drupal. Currently in ports but broken. Most promising seems Plone, which is based upon Zope. But it seems to be tremendously different from *nuke. The ports version is current and appears to work, but poking around the Plone site I wasn't able to get a feel for whether it truly can provide all the stuff I'm looking for. These are things such as: - Discussion forums - 3rd-party themes (I'm not looking to develop my own themes... I'm looking to get this up fast. Instead I'm looking for an established community of Plone-theme creators who like to create custom themes available for download, so I can pick one that appeals to me) - Polls - a variety of other modules/blocks (strength of the *nukes, but couldn't find a similar following for Plone). I'm also concerned about Plone using its own webserver. I feel very good using Apache as I've a lot of experience with it, and I like the idea of delegating components to groups with that strength. I also don't know Python, but could try and learn if Plone was worth it. This would be for an intranet site for about 100 employees. Looking to replace the mass-mailed MS Word newsletter, as well as provide a place to centrally discuss topics without having to try and hold meetings (and leaving things unaddressed because you're unable to pull a meeting together), give people a classifieds board, etc. What are other people doing for CMS on FreeBSD? Just how different is Plone from the *Nukes? Are there fundamental differences I need to understand? Can I do everything I want to with Plone without having to become a Python expert, code my own modules, etc? ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
lpt0 stopped working after upgrading
Hello, I recently upgraded to the latest -CURRENT and afterwards my printer would no longer print over Samba via CUPS. At first I thought it was a CUPS/Samba problem so I deinstalled and recompiled both of those but the problem still remains. CUPS recieves the print jobs ok and tries to print but in the web interface it says something along the lines of parallel port busy, retrying in 30 seconds... and indeed trying echo hello /dev/lpt0 says device busy. I deleted the printer from CUPS yesterday to discover that lpt0 is no longer in the drop down list where you select where the printer is attached (serial 0 and 1, parallel etc). I have unplugged the printer lead and tried too and I get the same device busy, but maybe that's supposed to happen if there's nothing plugged in? Also on boot the printer gets recognised properly with the lead in. I have also tried disabling ACPI in BIOS as I read somewhere that this may solve the problem, but it's the same :o) Can anyone help me? Should I post this to the current list instead?

atacontrol addspare missing in -stable
Hi all, how do I rebuild a degraded RADI1 in -stable? I have a HighPoint 372 Controller and yesterday had one drive failed (wich it does regularly and comes back fine after reboot). atacontrol status ar0 reported only one disk (ad4) and degraded (of course). In -current with a SIL0680 I usually issue atacontrol detach $failedchannel atacontrol attach $failedchannel atacontrol addspare $faileddrive ar0 atacontrol rebuild ar0 Please give me an idea how things should work under -stable (from ~3 weeks ago).

drive / IDE controller questions
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I've been having problems with my western digital drive (http://www.wdc.com/en/products/products.asp?DriveID=24) for about a year. I've posted messages about this before, but I have some new information that may be relevant. The problem started out when I would randomly hear the drive restarting. It would make a high pitch sound that would increase in pitch and last a second or two (The same sound the drive makes when you power on the system). Messages similar to the ones below would also appear in /var/log/messages: ad0: WRITE command timeout tag=0 serv=0 - resetting /kernel: ata0: resetting devices .. ata0-slave: ATA identify retries exceeded ad0: READ command timeout tag=0 serv=0 - resetting At first, these drive resets would only happen once or twice and everything would go back to normal. Eventually they would happen over and over until the system became unusable and wouldn't boot up even after running fsck in singal user mode with all the partitions unmount or mounted read only. I found a temporary solution was to run the western digital diagnostic tools and then run fsck. I would usually have a small amount of data corruption/loss but the system would be usable again. Things would be fine for a week or longer, but the problem would eventually reappear. Finally I contacted WD and they sent me a replacement drive (It was the same model, but a refurbished drive that I'm guessing was sent back by someone else). After a few tries I managed to get dd to copy the contents of the old drive to the new drive and for quite some time everything was great. But, the other day the new drive began to have the same problem as the old one. So now, I'm guessing the problem may lie with the controller on the main board (http://usa.asus.com/mb/socketa/a7v266-e/overview.htm). My main board has the optional raid controller. Would it be possible to use that controller with my current drive, or would the secondary controller be a better solution? Other notes: I've tried a few different IDE cables. I don't think it has anything to do with the OS since the resets have happened before the OS starts to boot and in the BIOS. I've included a uname -a, dmesg output and my kernel config file below.

I have a tiny bit of experience with PHP-Nuke because my webhost uses it. Although I have no real complaints about it, I am not wedded to it. PHP-Nuke is in ports and was recently upgraded to 6.9 after stagnating at 6.0 for a long time. This makes me concerned that if I invested in it, and the need for an update came, I might be SOL for a while due to lack of a maintainer. As it is right now, it is marked FORBIDDEN due to a vulnerability with versions below 7.1. Also, there seems to be a lot of hatred towards PHP-Nuke. I don't claim to understand it, but I can accept they might know something I don't. I do know that PHP is rather easy for me to work with, as I've tweaked many pages on my hosted site. I am also not turned away by the fact that PHP-Nuke depends on MySQL as I have used it with Bugzilla and it doesn't scare me. Looking at other options, there comes Postnuke. Seems a pretty-popular close-relation to PHP-Nuke, however the version in ports seems 2+ years old. So there is the maintainership issue again. And a lot of people hate BOTH *Nukes, for perhaps good reasons I don't totally grasp, so there's that too. Diverging a bit, I noticed Drupal. Currently in ports but broken. snip Umm.. I don't know what other people think about this - but I really never run any PHP stuff from ports. It is easier, imo, to just download the tgz and unzip it to the directory you want it in. Since there's no compiling, usually very little setup, it's just _easier_ and gives you more control if you just do it yourself. Of course, the cruddy thing about that is updating. Therefore, the reason why I think the cms' in ports are old is because most people don't port install them - it's just not worth it. Just follow the instructions that come with the PHP app - usually you'll have to create a database in mysql for it to use. The instructions are usually really good with that stuff. As far as which cms to use, I'm currently undecided as well. My boss really likes drupal, and forces me to use it :) Check out opensourcecms.com - they showcase dozens of php cms' and let you try them out.

I've included more detailed errors neared to the end of this email :) I was really thinking of What to do if you have problems with Vinum at http://www.vinumvm.org/vinum/how-to-debug.html. Okay, I did actually do my best to follow this but maybe got sidetracked. I'm just going to bullet point these now so I don't miss any of them out. * Problems: ``dd'' cloned disk ``does not work'' (i.e. gstat shows no activity on the cloned disk during reading of files). What command did you enter? What happened on the command line? Also see previous emails. You can't really expect me to go digging for them. * Changes to system: Originally vinum ran on 4.9-STABLE. This worked but had periodic ``disk crashes'' (i.e. vinum states disk as offline). I don't think this is the problem as the same behaviour happens with 5.2.1-p1 using the original dodgy disk (only GEOM removes it instead of vinum). It looks like part of the problem to me. It seems that you have a flaky disk. Is that correct? * Vinum list (excuse lack of wrapping). On the contrary, it shouldn't be wrapped. I don't see anything in this list that hasn't started. Is it correct that volume data only has one plex? * /var/log/messages extract. I originally started vinum a long while before, I included this entry too (excuse wrapping): Mar 17 23:33:57 amnesia kernel: vinum: loaded Mar 17 23:34:00 amnesia kernel: vinum: reading configuration from /dev/ad1s1h Mar 17 23:34:00 amnesia kernel: vinum: updating configuration from /dev/ad2s1h Mar 17 23:34:00 amnesia kernel: vinum: updating configuration from /dev/ad3s1h Mar 19 02:49:26 amnesia kernel: WARNING: /mnt/data was not properly dismounted Mar 19 02:52:15 amnesia kernel: vinum: null rqg This seems a little odd to me -- previously I had not had a null rqg error. This is certainly an interesting one. I think maybe I didn't test it enough. Since these are mostly avi files I can tell if they are broken on not by seeing if they have an index -- last time they all played but many without indexes. Nothing has changed since then; maybe I wasn't being thorough enough? I'm wondering if the problem isn't at least partially due to the flaky disk. The null rqg message indicates that a request couldn't be mapped. I'd really need a dump from this point, if the problem is repeatable. Let me know and I'll send you a patch. During the process a number (maybe eight to ten) I/O errors were reported. These were dd errors. I didn't write these down at the time (silly of me) and I'm not sure they even go into any log files. However, I have found the exact error messages I got (although the offsets are wrong). If required I will re-run dd and provide the full errors. The messages were: dd: reading `/dev/ad3': Input/output error Hmm. Why are you running against /dev/ad3? Why are you using dd at all? In any case, I would expect error messages in /var/log/messages at this point. In a reply to my original question you stated that ``dd if=ad3 of=ad1 bs=8192 conv=noerror'' ``may or may not work, depending on details you haven't reported.'' Do these detailed errors help at all? A little. They tell me that the drive is flaky. I'd expect to see the error messages in /var/log/messages, though. I just read a thread[1] about dd that makes me wonder whether it would have been. The only reference I see there is to the current thread. At least it gave me the background. I think that's everything. I'm just going to include some other stuff from earlier emails that has been chopped earlier. Maybe it has some relevance: = fsck_ufs /dev/vinum/data gives the following message: = ** /dev/vinum/data = cannot alloc 4316869296 bytes for inphead Yes, this is almost certainly due to incorrect copying. Probably the conv=noerror is to blame for that. I suspect that, unless you can read the sections of the volume that appear to be causing the fsck problems, you may be out of luck. About the only thing you could try is to mount the volume read-only without fsck, and then copy what data you can elsewhere.

drive / IDE controller questions
[Jerry McAllister writes]
{Joey Mingrone writes]
I've been having problems with my western digital drive ...
The problem started out when I would randomly hear the drive restarting. It
would make a high pitch sound... (The same sound the drive makes when you
power on the system). ... Eventually they would happen over and over ...
So now, I'm guessing the problem may lie with the controller on the main
board
Another early guess might also be overheating problems. I am not sure how
you would check other than trying to make it cooler.
One way to check heating is to take the cover off and put your hand on the
drive. If it's too hot for your comfort, it's probably too hot for the drive's
comfort. You want to let the machine run and then remove the cover and check
it quickly; airflow changes when you take the cover(s) off. If that's the
problem, an extra fan in the right place can work wonders.
Don't exonorate cables too quickly; they can block airflow, especially if they
sag over time, or get pulled about by airflow.
I'm not familiar with the WD utilities; do they do surface scans? If not,
is it possible that there are problems that either the controllers or FreeBSD
cannot handle, and that these are occurring as certain blocks are put into
service? (But that wouldn't explain the failure on two drives?)

OT: Quiet SCSI drives?
I'm going to be doing some development work with a few databases in a regulated environment. Needless to say, I need some serious storage for running test versions. But for the reasons I won't bore you with, I'll want them just to run on my workstation. So I need an oomph workstation with a fair amount of storage. I'll build it myself so I can have my choice of components. (I'm looking at dual Opteron!) Here's the thing. I'd prefer SCSI drives for their performance and reliability but I can't stand the noise they tend to generate. Is anyone out there acquainted with a SCSI model that runs fairly quietly? It doesn't have to be the most blazingly fast model out there; I'm willing to sacrifice some performance (though not reliability) for quiet. I do have to work near the thing. Some noise is fine. It's the high-pitched squeal I get from the drives in the server room that kills me. Failing that, does anyone have experiences, positive or negative, with the various drive-noise dampeners on the market?
