Install guide (Was: Re: Urgent help needed : portmaster dies on py-cairo)

Part-1)Immediately after a fresh FreeBSD-7.2#RELEASE install :
I assume you will at some stage or the other install a linux port, eg
acroread8 or acroread9, linux-ymessenger, etc. Incidentally, unless you
have specific needs, prefer acroread8 over acroread9.
Adding to assumptions: one wants to use gnome as desktop.
All following steps are to be executed as root.
a)Make sure /etc/rc.conf has at least the following 5 lines.
dbus_enable=YES
hald_enable=YES
polkitd_enable=YES
gnome_enable=YES
linux_enable=YES
b)Make sure /boot/loader.conf has at least the following 3 lines.
kern.maxdsiz=734003200
This is a) not needed and b) doesn't do anything useful, since the default
will still be the compiled default, unless you also set kern.defdsiz. The only
thing this does is allow the datasize limit to be raised to 700M, using
limits(1), but since the default still is 512M an unaware application will
still fail malloc(3) if allocating beyond 512M.
linprocfs_load=YES
linsysfs_load=YES
Which ports you mention require linsysfs?
c)Make sure /etc/fstab has at least the following 3 lines.
proc/proc procfs
rw00
linproc /usr/compat/linux/proclinprocfsrw00
linsys /usr/compat/linux/sys linsysfs rw0
0
Better to use /compat/linux/*. While by default it resides on /usr, it is
convenient to be able to change the symlink, for example to test a new
linux_base port without wiping the current one or to free up space on the /usr
partition.
d)Upgrage from python25 to python26 along with all dependent ports
as follows :
rm -rf /usr/ports 2/dev/null
Or you can simply not install the ports distribution, since this is the first
thing you do. I also don't understand why you install a boatload of packages
from CD/DVD only to complicate things by upgrading by my estimate at least
70%. Why not just portsnap and build the leafs?
mkdir -p /usr/ports/distfiles
portsnap fetch extract
cd /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/portupgrade
make deinstall 2/dev/null
make install clean
portupgrade -C -r -o lang/python26 lang/python25
portupgrade -rfx python26 python26
pkgdb -F
Before doing anything further, reboot.
This needs a reason. I don't know any.
Immediately after reboot, execute
Part-2.
Part-2) Steps to be followed whenever a significant number new
ports/patches are available and you need to ensure your ports as well as
your ports directory are up to date :
thisdate=`date +%Y-%m-%n`
I assume that's %d, since %n is a newline.
rm /root/portupgrade-${thisdate}.log 2/dev/null
portsnap fetch update
portupgrade -ace -uRl /root/portupgrade-${thisdate}.log
pkgdb -F
Note : If you plan to install any linux ports, you should have said yes
to 'Linux binary compatibility' at the time you installed FreeBSD. If
you didn't, the very first port you need to build is
emulators/linux_base-fc4
If you use net/skype you will need linux_base-fc6, so again using sysinstall
can be a problem.

On the other hand, if you wanted to offer a non-profit booth (gratis) to the FreeBSD Foundation, that would certainly be appropriate and probably well-received. See http://freebsdfoundation.org for contact and other information. I look forward to seeing FreeBSD at the Utah Open Source Conference this fall! Maybe someone will show up with a laptop running FreeBSD. Or you could use a FreeBSD box to provide network services for the conference..

jail/system crash with mount_unionfs
OS: FreeBSD 7.2 release / Generic kernel I used CSUP to download the source tree, and the RELENG_7_2, no date specified. I didn't rebuild the base OS world/kernel. I have installed a lot of ports on the main system, most of what the jail would need is also already installed - so the distfiles and ports directories are already setup to speed of the install process. I figured I'd save time and effort and use unionfs to allow both systems to use the same ports directory (to be safe, I won't compile things from both systems at the same time, but keeping the same ports directory was fine. I followed the jail creation instructions in the handbook posted on the www.freebsd.org Once the jail was created, I made a script to union the ports directories: ts.org_mount_ports #!/bin/sh mount_unionfs /usr/ports /data/jail/ts.org/usr/ports/ I also have my jail shell startup script: ts.org_shell #!/bin/sh jail -s 2 /data/jail/ts.org/ ts.org.mydomain 192.168.1.83 /bin/sh [s...@boromir /data/jail]$ ls ts.org/usr/ports [s...@boromir /data/jail]$ sudo ./ts.org_mount_ports [s...@boromir /data/jail]$ ls ts.org/usr/ports ... ports directory listing omitted [s...@boromir /data/jail]$ sudo ./ts.org_shell # cd /usr/ports # ls The base operating system hangs at this point. later: [s...@boromir /data/jail]$ ls ts.org/usr/ports [s...@boromir /data/jail]$ cd ts.org/usr/ports [s...@boromir /data/jail/ts.org/usr/ports]$ cp -rf /usr/ports/* .

FreeBSD for a high school class? (long)
Sorry for the OT-ness of this. I only work with FreeBSD for servers. Have used it as the sole systems for a business since the late 1900s. Twice I've put up X-Windows machines but we never bothered to use them for one reason or another. Now my son's school is short computers for a High School HTML class I'm going to help teach this fall. The official teacher is excited about FreeBSD since we can use old equipment that is donated. There are two issues. We will not get enough FreeBSD systems up to cover all kids in the class. Some will have to use the 10.4/3 OS-X G3s we already have. For the remainder of systems, I've told them I need a minimum 256GB Ram, 500+Mhz, ~10GB hard drive. I will put Apache on both types of boxes so they have a testing platform, hope to put firefox on each so they have a consistent browser. The confusing thing will be Finder and Textedit, versus whatever I use for a window manager on the FreeBSD systems. The two questions are: 1. Taking the specs into account, what is the window manager that will provide the closest match to the Apple desktop for mouse ops, browsing files/directories, and editing text files. I suppose I should add running Firefox (or a reasonable similar browser that will render HTML and execute Javascript identically). I don't mean cosmetically, just enough that there isn't too much needing to teach a window manager. Finder is relatively invisible from a teaching standpoint as is Textedit, Firefox is going to be reasonably standard (this is going to teach HTML standards, not how to use windowed drag and drop page generation products, they will be using a text editor and working with raw HTML, CSS and JavaScript). But what I don't want to be doing is having some learning vi (even though if this were an advanced class, that is precisely what I'd expect ;-)), while others are using textedit. The course is HTML. Mouse button operations should be close, a window that gives a simple file directory and a text editor that doesn't require learning a character command set would be the target. 2. Am I too lean on the specs for the free AMD/Intel boxes we are requesting parents cough up? The district sadly is being forced to go to windows by the state, and now only has these old antique Macs free and has no Intel/AMD boxes. These will all come from parents of the program and leverage the fact that people like to replace perfectly good boxes because of spyware on windows. I personally still have boxes with less than 100GB RAM and sub-500 mhz processors running 6.x (and I think 7.0) but I use those as firewalls, I've never used a window manager so perhaps my view of FreeBSDs efficiency is optimistic.

Although I will probably be lit on fire for this, I'd have to say KDE3

You should begin teaching them Vi now. :)

Are you going to be building apache / xorg / ${YOUR_BROWSER} from
ports or installing packages? If from ports, this may be a bit
painful as it will take (seemingly) forever to build xorg, etc.

Re: Secure apache with php
Hi, I'm currently using mpm-itk (on debian, but should be replaced with freebsd soon ;-)). I'm quite happy with the solution as it's easy to setup many user accounts for web without ugly access right stuff and all that. apache never made a problem after setup :-) unfortunately I've never had the time to do futher hardening for mpm-itk in special (only 'standard' apache/php hardening is applied). but as I'm planning to keep this setup and extend userbase after move to freebsd I'm curious what your results will be.

Another thing you may wish to consider is a IDE to develop in. As someone already mentioned, learning vi is invaluable, but sometimes a gui editor is better suited to the task. My newest favorite is Netbeans. It's compatible with a host of different programming and markup languages including html. This will give you a nice gui with syntax highlighting and many other useful features. Most could also be found on vi/vim, but I suspect your students will have an easier time on Netbeans. It wouldn't be snappy on the hardware you mentioned but should be useable.

The USB subsystem isn't currently equipped to notify devd (technically,
the devctl_notify function isn't used in the USB stack). So the only
notification you'll get is when devfs creates a device. Since there is
no predictable link between a USB device and a disk device, info from
the USB stack would be less then usefull.
You can check this by reading from /dev/devctrl (when devd is not
running, since this device can only be opened by one program at a time)
just after you plugged in the device. For my usb thumbdrive I get:
cat /dev/devctl
!system=DEVFS subsystem=CDEV type=CREATE cdev=pass2

It is possible to use a 32-bit jail on amd64. If you install the ports tree in that jail you could perhaps build wine? I haven't tried this, though.

Re: FreeBSD for a high school class? (long)
I'm going to top post this because it's not replying to my post. Thanks for the numerous responses on-list and the many others that came off list. I'm going to synopsize what I've received. I'll respond to the questions asked too. I think I'm good to go though and wanted to summarize for the record. XFCE seems to be the consensus with 2 KDE recommendations. One additional suggestion was to use PCBSD or Freesbie. That might make sense but I'm an old dog and have been using the standard FreeBSD for a lot of years. I will fire XFCE up on my test box as soon as I can source upgrade it (I think it's living at 6.2). Disk-wise, the 10GB was questioned. Probably not an issue, I have a few old 40GB drives laying around if a machine comes with less. I was noting a 1999 Compaq came stock with 30GB so it may not be an issue. I adjusted the spec to 20GB. 256MB appears to be acceptable. Only have one computer volunteered thus far at that level, everything is 512 to 2G. Amazing what people have to give up on when running windows ;-). On having apache: It's there to let students see their supplied products work in what looks like the real website for the program they are in. The real site has a superstructure of PERL that handles authentication and calls the many pages they will be providing. The final will be for them to provide real content for given classes in the program and develop each classes webpage. If they have a server running, I can mock the real site without giving them access to the live FreeBSD server (bad idea with a group of mischievous kids!). httpd shouldn't be too much of a drain. vi? Yes it would be great to teach, but a trimester is short and half the kids would be left behind. The head of the program was considering an open-source OS install class for later. That's where vi might come in. Different class, different goals, fewer students will sign up. Installing from ports? Yes, that would be my goal. Just looked on one of my servers and I see XFCE4 in ports so looks good. OSX appearance? Thanks for those suggestions, it's cool that people have developed such but the actual appearance isn't that important. Just same level of application such that class time isn't wasted on differences in platforms. We've already had more systems volunteered than I expected. Ideally, we can forget the Macs altogether. In the last 3 hours, 6 acceptable machines have been volunteered. By fall I imagine we can have 12 and cap registration at that. All on FreeBSD. Thanks very much for all the help. Maybe we'll spawn a new generation of developers ;-). On Jul 9, 2009, at 7:58 AM, Chris wrote: Sorry for the OT-ness of this. I only work with FreeBSD for servers. Have used it as the sole systems for a business since the late 1900s. Twice I've put up X-Windows machines but we never bothered to use them for one reason or another. Now my son's school is short computers for a High School HTML class I'm going to help teach this fall. The official teacher is excited about FreeBSD since we can use old equipment that is donated. There are two issues. We will not get enough FreeBSD systems up to cover all kids in the class. Some will have to use the 10.4/3 OS-X G3s we already have. For the remainder of systems, I've told them I need a minimum 256GB Ram, 500+Mhz, ~10GB hard drive. I will put Apache on both types of boxes so they have a testing platform, hope to put firefox on each so they have a consistent browser. The confusing thing will be Finder and Textedit, versus whatever I use for a window manager on the FreeBSD systems. The two questions are: 1. Taking the specs into account, what is the window manager that will provide the closest match to the Apple desktop for mouse ops, browsing files/directories, and editing text files. I suppose I should add running Firefox (or a reasonable similar browser that will render HTML and execute Javascript identically). I don't mean cosmetically, just enough that there isn't too much needing to teach a window manager. Finder is relatively invisible from a teaching standpoint as is Textedit, Firefox is going to be reasonably standard (this is going to teach HTML standards, not how to use windowed drag and drop page generation products, they will be using a text editor and working with raw HTML, CSS and JavaScript). But what I don't want to be doing is having some learning vi (even though if this were an advanced class, that is precisely what I'd expect ;-)), while others are using textedit. The course is HTML. Mouse button operations should be close, a window that gives a simple file directory and a text editor that doesn't require learning a character command set would be the target. 2. Am I too lean on the specs for the free AMD/Intel boxes we are requesting parents cough up? The district sadly is being forced to go to windows by the state, and now only has these old antique Macs free and has no Intel/AMD boxes. These will all come from parents of the program and leverage

How to add a slice and partition to a mirror
I have a FreeBSD 7.2 system that had two 37GB mirrored SCSI drives. These contained a single slice filling the disk with separate partitions for swap, /, /var, /usr and /home. Yesterday one of the drives had a catastrophic failure - no problem, the system still worked on one drive as it is supposed to. I have purchased two new 74GB drives because I need more space. With just the working 37GB drive connected, I ran: # gmirror forget gm0 Then I connected one of the new 74GB drives and ran: # gmirror insert gm0 /dev/da1 and the mirror rebuilt itself correctly, but of course only half of the new drive is being used. I've now removed the 37GB drive and run gmirror forget gm0 again and the system is running on the new half used 74GB drive.

Could I know why the flash drive is not detected on attach?
The USB subsystem isn't currently equipped to notify devd (technically,
the devctl_notify function isn't used in the USB stack). So the only
notification you'll get is when devfs creates a device. Since there is
no predictable link between a USB device and a disk device, info from
the USB stack would be less then usefull.
You can check this by reading from /dev/devctrl (when devd is not
running, since this device can only be opened by one program at a time)
just after you plugged in the device. For my usb thumbdrive I get:
cat /dev/devctl
!system=DEVFS subsystem=CDEV type=CREATE cdev=pass2
!system=DEVFS subsystem=CDEV type=CREATE cdev=da0
!system=DEVFS subsystem=CDEV type=CREATE cdev=da0s1
!system=DEVFS subsystem=CDEV type=CREATE cdev=msdosfs/RFS1
While sysctl gives:
dev.umass.0.%desc: vendor 0x3538 USB Mass Storage Device, class 0/0, rev
2.00/1.00, addr 2
dev.umass.0.%driver: umass
dev.umass.0.%location: port=4 interface=0
dev.umass.0.%pnpinfo: vendor=0x3538 product=0x0042 devclass=0x00 devsubclass=0x00
release=0x0100 sernum=0004E1 intclass=0x08 intsubclass=0x06
dev.umass.0.%parent: uhub4
So for now, you'll have to match on the creation of da* devices, or
labels if you use those.
Roland, thanks for the reply.
Here is my side info on FreeBSD 7.2:
cat /dev/devctl
? at port=6 vendor=0x0718 product=0x0081 devclass=0x00 devsubclass=0x00
release=0x0103 sernum=14925B00 on uhub4
+umass1 vendor=0x0718 product=0x0081 devclass=0x00 devsubclass=0x00
release=0x0103 sernum=14925B00 intclass=0x08 intsubclass=0x06 at port=6
interface=0 vendor=0x0718 product=0x0081 devclass=0x00 devsubclass=0x00
release=0x0103 sernum=14925B00 intclass=0x08 intsubclass=0x06 on uhub4
!system=DEVFS subsystem=CDEV type=CREATE cdev=pass4
!system=DEVFS subsystem=CDEV type=CREATE cdev=da4
!system=DEVFS subsystem=CDEV type=CREATE cdev=da4s1
!system=DEVFS subsystem=CDEV type=CREATE cdev=msdosfs/
I have few questions:
1. Above shows info we need available under '?' and '+' lines. What we need
is vendor, product and sernum. Can these be accessed in addition to cdev?
2. Is this issue been fixed in FreeBSD 8.0?
3. Can you or someone think of a patch against FreeBSD 7.2 to provide
vendor, product and sernum in addition to cdev? It's very big help someone
could extend to us to release Tomahawk Desktop without further delay.
Best regards
Sagara

Advise for buying a Refurbished machine
Fellow BSDians, I need an advice from FreeBSD users. I would like to buy a refurbished notebook from IBM. Model IBM T60I heard T60 series are excellent ? Please see this URL and apecifications of the notebook http://www-304.ibm.com/shop/americas/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/default/ProductDisplay?productId=4611686018425958881storeId=1langId=-1categoryId=2576396dualCurrId=73catalogId=-840 I want to know 1) whether this notebook go well with FreeBSD-7.x versions ? I want to use only FreeBSD on this notebook with X window system + Gnome Desktop, 2) please advice me If I buy this machine is that a wise decision or refurbished machines are of high risk ? any thoughts most welcome.

Model IBM T60I heard T60 series are excellent ? I'm using FreeBSD/GNOME as my main environment on a Thinkpad X61s, and my experience so far has been excellent. The *only* bit of hardware that doesn't attach to a working driver is the fingerprint reader, which I don't really have a use for. My loader.conf includes a few thinkpad-specific bits, like: # Intel wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN driver options. legal.intel_iwn.license_ack=1 if_iwn_load=YES # Autoloaded modules. acpi_ibm_load=YES snd_hda_load=YES and I disable the internal Bluetooth support in sysctl.conf: # Disable the internal Bluetooth device of Thinkpad X61s by default. dev.acpi_ibm.0.bluetooth=0 but other than these pretty simple configuration options, everything 'Just Works(TM)' :) One last thing that is worth mentioning: It is not obvious from the webpage you pasted if the T60 you are going to buy uses an Intel or ATI VGA chipset. I generally opt for Intel VGA chipsets, when I have a choice. They tend to work slightly better on the laptop's I've seen so far. I want to know 1) whether this notebook go well with FreeBSD-7.x versions ? I want to use only FreeBSD on this notebook with X window system + Gnome Desktop, This should work fine. 2) please advice me If I buy this machine is that a wise decision or refurbished machines are of high risk ? This is something I cannot really answer. I bought mine from a friend, whom I trusted enough. Depending on the source, there is an inherent risk in buying 'used' parts, but it all boils down to how much you trust the seller. ___ 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: Advise for buying a Refurbished machine
Hi, you must cosinder only one thing. I have seen some of them with horizontal lines in their LCD. I could not find out the real cause if it. Just check it before you get it. I think, you should get a good deal as those machines are robust. Erich On 10 July 2009 pm 12:59:43 dhaneshk k wrote: Fellow BSDians, I need an advice from FreeBSD users.

Re: How to add a slice and partition to a mirror

These contained a single slice filling the disk with separate partitions for swap, /, /var, /usr and /home. Yesterday one of the drives had a catastrophic failure - no problem, the system still worked on one drive as it is supposed to. I have purchased two new 74GB drives because I need more space. With just the working 37GB drive connected, I ran: # gmirror forget gm0 Then I connected one of the new 74GB drives and ran: # gmirror insert gm0 /dev/da1 and the mirror rebuilt itself correctly, but of course only half of the new drive is being used. I've now removed the 37GB drive and run gmirror forget gm0 again and the system is running on the new half used 74GB drive. How do I define a new slice and partition to fill the second half of this drive? what is the output of gpart gm0 ? Did you mean gpart list gm0? This gives: gpart: No such geom: gm0 I'm not sure that gpart is supported by the GENERIC kernel - should I have the GEOM_PART_MBR option set, it isn't currently.
