Shutting down X with control+alt+backspace
This is an answer to a question I started to post, but then decided to research instead. I know many readers of this list use the feature I'm describing. When Xorg was upgraded to version 7.4, the historic ability to shut down X with Control+Alt+Backspace became a non-default option. The solution to re-enabling this behavior was to add Option DontZap off to the ServerLayout or ServerFlags section of xorg.conf as documented in a note in the Handbook http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x-config.html A few days ago, x11/xkeyboard-config was upgraded to 1.6 and the solution in the Handbook is no longer sufficient. The new solution that gets Control+Alt+Backspace working for me again is to add Option XKbOptions terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp to the InputDevice section of xorg.conf. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

For this question, you must debug the kernel by Serial.
when fatal, you use find the error by command bt.

MY QUESTION: Please help me to install the newest version of latex. I'm using 7.2-RELEASE. Use the TeXLive distribution instead. You can find this at http://www.tug.org/texlive/acquire.html The latest version is TeXLive 2008. This comes complete with FreeBSD binaries for 7.x (i386 and amd64) on the DVD, so you don't have to compile anything. Unfortunately this is not in ports yet. The consequence of this is that if you want to install other ports that depend on TeX, you'll have to edit the Makefiles of these ports to remove the TeX dependencies before installing them.

Add more debug options to kernel, because dump is not useful

For this question, you must debug the kernel by Serial.

Add more debug options to kernel, because dump is not useful

Re: Date representation as YY/DDD or YYYY/DDD
rsync isn't bloated and it's well written IMO. It still does only one job, and it does it well. As you say, most common tasks can still be done with only short options. This would change if some developer decided to add other, unrelated functionality. But that's harder if you want to maintain short options for the common tasks. Having only long options would place no such restrictions on bloating. what program you mean about having only long options? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
Re: Can a Bourn Shell Script put itself in the background?
I really appreciate all the good suggestions I got from
everybody who responded.
Barry Byrne writes:
I think the simplest thing would be to write a little wrapper script, that
calls your other script.
#!/bin/sh
echo Stating Daemon Now
/path/to/mainscript
This got me to thinking and I think I have just answered
my own question. This all fits in one script and uses the Bourn
shell's function capabilities so it is very much like your
suggestion except that it all fits in one file. Interestingly
enough, the output can be redirected to /dev/null or anywhere
else when you call the script. To kill it, do
ps ax |grep SCRIPTNAME |grep -v grep
and kill that number. Try this test in a directory with several
files.
#! /bin/sh
testfunction () {
for dump_file in `ls`; do
echo $dump_file
sleep 15
done
return 0
}
#This next part is the counterpart to the wrapper.
testfunction
exit 0
This also works in Linux's /bin/sh which I believe is an alias
for bash so occasionally little things work differently.
As with all scripts that can start background processes, be
careful with loops and such, especially if it is not your system
that you are experimenting on. You can really mess things up
fast if you get a run-away loop and don't know what it is doing.
Anyway, my thanks to all. I will save your suggestions
because they demonstrate many ways of looking at the same
problem.

Driver for nVidia Geforce 6150LE
I was just given a Gateway GT 52250 with an AMD Anthon 64 X2 Processor 3800+ with a nVidia Geforce 6150LE card. Assuming I install the 64 bit version of FreeBSD on this machine, what nVidea driver should I install? From what I understood, nVidia was not producing 64 bit drivers for FreeBSD due to a problem with the FreeBSD kernel. There are none listed on the nVidea site either. I did notice a driver on the nVidia page for FreeBSD x86, version # 185.18.14, released June 5, 2009; however, the version is the ports is: 180.44, which has actually been superseded four times since its release by nVidia.

usb device not recognised
I have a Teclast TL-C300 usb media player which works fine with Slackware 12.2 and Windows XP, but is not properly recognised by FreeBSD. I have other usb devices, eg camera, which all work fine, so I am guessing that my config is OK, although I do see errors with these devices too. According to kerneltrap, another Teclast device needed a patch in Linux to reduced the data transfer block size to make it work, so perhaps it needs a quirk for FreeBSD too. Does anybody have experience of this device or recognise the symptoms? I am running FreeBSD 7.2 and I am up to date with stable. I have these entires in the kernel which are probably relevant:- device scbus device da device cd device pass device ses device atapicam device uhci device ohci device ehci device usb device ugen device uhid device ukbd device ulpt device umass device ums If the TL-C300 is present at boot, boot freezes when it probes the device but resumes if the device is removed. When the TL-C300 is plugged in after boot, it produces the following console report:- umass1: RockChip ROCK MP3, class 0/0, rev 2.00/0.00, addr 2 on uhub2 (probe0:umass-sim1:1:0:0): TEST UNIT READY.

fsck on 1.5TB drive
Hey guys... I just installed 7.2 on a 1.5TB RAID 5. I'm using about 10GB for the system and swap, and the rest for a single large partition to be used for backups. As of right now, the single partition, /bkup, is empty. When booting after an improper shutdown, the system starts the backgrounds fsck as usual and on all the other partitions, seem to take the normal amount of time. When it gets to the dirty /bkup however, fsck takes about 30 minutes - on an empty partition. On top of that, running a df shows that as much as 2GB of the partition is in use. There's a .snap directory off /bkup, but I can't ls it without the shell hanging. Is this normal behavior? Why is the fsck taking so long on an empty drive? What's the .snap dir for since I haven't run any dumps? Disk access on the rest of the system seems fine, so it doesn't appear to be an issue with the RAID itself.

If you need further information regarding incompatibilities between nVidia 64 bit drivers and 64 bit FreeBSD, Google for it. There was even a lengthy discussion on this topic on this very forum awhile ago. It would be nice if this incompatibility issue could be resolved by FreeBSD-8 since it apparently is not going to be resolved in the present 7.x branch. Personally, with more and more PCs being sold with 64 bit architecture, and nVidea being a major player in the video card market, FreeBSD's inability to support nVidia 64 bit drivers is seriously detrimental to the overall usefullness of the OS and certainly will not help it capture a larger share of the market. -- Jerry ges...@yahoo.com Bare feet magnetize sharp metal objects so they point upward from the floor -- especially in the dark. signature.asc Description: PGP signature

BTW your backups are mostly big files or mostly small. make use of newfs options - MUCH less inodes, bigger blocks. Not only fsck is faster, but it's faster in normal use and you get less wasted space. reducing -m make sense too. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

OK, exactly how did you get it to work? I'm running the i386 version of FreeBSD on a Foxconn 6150M2MA motherboard and couldn't get the GeForce 6150 to work with the 180.44 driver but it works fine with the x11/nvidia-driver-96 port which I use in preference to the nv driver. That port version is several versions old. Perhaps the maintainer will update to the latest version. According to the change-log, it corrects quite a few problems. The lack of a 64bit Nvidia driver was one of the reasons I installed the i386 version of FreeBSD on this 64bit platform. Unfortunately, I will probably have to do that also. Since it is not going to be used for anything critical, it probably does not matter. It would be nice if FreeBSD gets around to supporting 64 bit drivers like this so that a user could take advantage of a 64 bit system. -- Jerry ges...@yahoo.com Reality must take precedence over public relations, for Mother Nature cannot be fooled.

My initial attempt with Xorg -configure and the nv driver resulted in me getting just an 800x600 display. I was able to fix this by adding 'Modes 1280x1024' to the display subsection of the screen section but this resulted in the entire display being shifted about 50 pixels to the right. I couldn't correct this with the auto-adjust button on the monitor but after fiddling around with xvidtune I was able to get a modeline for something which looked acceptable but I wasn't too happy with it because the monitor was no longer able to show full details about resolution and frequency in it's on screen status display. The nvidia driver wasn't without it's problems either but I got there in the end. Initially I tried the nvidia-driver port but all I got was a black screen with a single row of white pixels across the top of the screen. After a bit of trial and error I found that I could get a working display by using portdowngrade to revert to version 169.12. Unfortunately after the upgrade of xorg in January this old version of nvidia-driver failed to work and gave me the black screen with white dots and I got error messages about being unable to load nvidia_drv.so. No solution to this was forthcoming but I found that the nvidia-driver-96 port would work. Although this is a much older driver the port is still maintained so I should be less likely to hit compatibility problems in the way I did by using a downgraded version of the newer driver. That port version is several versions old. Perhaps the maintainer will update to the latest version. According to the change-log, it corrects quite a few problems. I'm hoping that the problems fixed in the latest version relate to issues with the newer and/or more powerful graphics chips. So far I've not had any problems with this driver.

Re: Opinion request about a file server

In fact a typical modern desktop computer will, when idle, draw less than 100W for the whole system. It is not even difficult to put together a system that will stay under 100W even when under load. but power supplies are not really efficient when used at small load. maybe some newer are better... Mine has a 250W PSU in it, and draws around 45W (measured with a power meter)... In the UK it thus costs ~£45 (US$70) per year, at the current E.O.N. rate. Not too expensive!

may be reclaimed at any moment. The right thing to do is to fix
this before 8.0 freezed KPI. Please, try the patch below.

Yubikey
Has anybody gotten a Yubikey to work with FreeBSD? It attaches as a uhid device on both 7 and 8. ugen5.5: Yubico at usbus5 uhid0: Yubico Yubico Yubikey Touch, class 0/0, rev 2.00/1.32, addr 5 on usbus5 For those not familiar with a Yubikey it is a usb device that attaches as a keyboard and when the button is pressed it generates a 44 character One Time Password (OTP) and inputted into the computer as if it were typed. Unfortunately with FreeBSD 7 8 I'm not able to get that output. Under NetBSD the Yubikey does get attached as a keyboard and works perfectly. Any thoughts on how to get the Yubikey to attach as a keyboard under FreeBSD?

Problem w/ 6.0 - 7.2 update
Apologies if this is the wrong place to ask these questions. I emailed this to Colin Percival a few weeks ago and heard nothing back, so I figured I'd ask here. Alex - Hi, I tried to upgrade my system from 6.0-RELEASE to 7.2-RELEASE today, using the procedure described on your blog page FreeBSD major version upgrades: http://www.daemonology.net/blog/2007-11-11-freebsd-major-version-upgrade.html I had previously pulled down the tarball of the updated freebsd-update script, exploded it, compared the hash. Today I started a script to capture the output, ran $ sudo sh freebsd-update.sh -f freebsd-update.conf -r 7.2-RELEASE upgrade and watched it pulled down files, helped it merge, etc., then hit spacebar repeatedly as it went through printing a long list of files. Next thing I knew, it had exited back to the shell prompt. I wasn't expecting that, probably because I didn't read your page closely enough. Anyhow, I ran the upgrade command a second time (I think that's OK?) and it basically did the same thing, but this time I reread your instructions and saw that I needed to follow up with: $ sudo sh freebsd-update.sh -f freebsd-update.conf install So I did that, and did a reboot when it told me to. Reboot failed -- no kernel. I eventually recovered from this by booting the the FreeBSD 6.0 install CD, going to shell prompt, mounting the root filesystem and copying kernel and *.ko from the CD back into /boot/kernel. Then I started to look at what went wrong, looking through freebsd-update.sh, trying to figure out what it does, and sure enough I see, comparing INDEX-OLD and INDEX-NEW that it shows the kernel and *.ko getting removed and not replaced (also I can see this reviewing the script output of the long set of files add/removed/modified.) At this point I am tempted to do a rollback before proceeding any further, but am not sure if having copied the files manually back in to /boot/kernel is going to cause problems with rollback. It's also not clear to me whether using freebsd-update.sh is the right approach for upgrading from 6.0-RELEASE to 7.2-RELEASE, or if I should follow some alternate approach, like booting the 7.2 CD and doing a binary upgrade from there? Anyhow, if you can advise me on these issues of whether the rollback should work OK and what approach you recommend to proceed, I'd appreciate it. I'll be happy to send any files, including the script output, if you like. It seems more efficient to ask you rather than to continue digging deeper deeper in the shell script and all its accompanying patch files, etc. Thanks, Alex Stangl ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Re: /etc/hosts - how does that file work?? - was weird nfs issues.

Name servers are encouraged to do round-robin returns if not specified otherwise. Applications may sort/pick at their own leisure. -- Mel I do not think /etc/hosts does round robin, I always assumed first match wins...DNS/bind I would understand... Why does ping always return the 172.20.6.1 address, and ftp,nc,ssh,telnet,fetch _always_ uses the 116 address? I would assume at least sometimes it would hit the 172 address with anything besides ping - but it only ping hits the 172 address... If so, I'd guess there would be consistency between ping lookups and 'telnet/ssh/etc' lookups...

Is there an algorithm based on IP/program being used and the returned IP? I can't sit and watch this thread anymore. Something itchin' to say: DNS, who can handle multiple A records in an optional round-robin design, is perfectly fine to assign multiple A records to a resource. /etc/hosts, which as always existed (back when the Internet was created/new), was a unique record source only. Having oddities in /etc/hosts is expected IMHO when a mistake like multiple resources assigned different records. What's to stop you from creating slightly different records in /etc/hosts? Whats to stop you from hitting 'privserver' and 'pubserver', for private and public IPs respectively. why are you so hung up on dual IPs for a single host? would dnsmasq provide a solution to dual A records for one resource? I'll help, when I can. but forcing this on /etc/hosts is a dead end. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
