dbus/hal in freebsd 7.2 hangs X11
Hi all, I am trying to use hal/dbus on a i386 machine with FreeBSD 7.2 (ports updated to the latest tree snapshot as of yesterday), but despite spending a full day looking up the handbook, faq, and google, I cannot make it work properly. More specifically, when I use either xfce4 or xmonad after having enabled dbus/hald in rc.conf: hald_enable=YES dbus_enable=YES both window managers become very unresponsive and hang as if hal was trying to access/mount something. For example, the terminal may take *seconds* to display typed in characters and in xfce if you click on the desktop icons for home directory etc., they don't open up at all in the thunar file manager (they do though, if you right click on them and choose 'open'). I read on the freebsd/gnome/halfaq that you should not have in your /etc/fstab entries that are supposed to be used by hal, so I commented out the lines for cdrom and flash USB drive in fstab: # DeviceMountpoint FStype Options DumpPass# /dev/ad6s1b noneswapsw 0 0 /dev/ad6s1a / ufs rw 1 1 /dev/ad6s1e /tmpufs rw 2 2 /dev/ad6s1f /usrufs rw 2 2 /dev/ad6s1d /varufs rw 2 2 #/dev/acd0 /cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0 # Changed the above for the following (ATAPI-CAM) #/dev/cd0 /mnt/cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0 #/dev/da0s1 /mnt/flash msdosfs rw,noauto 0 0 # For linux compat linproc/usr/compat/linux/proc linprocfs rw 0 0 # For VirtualBox, truss(1) proc/proc procfs rw 00 However, this produces no improvement. Also, following the instruction in the mentioned FAQ, I added the following lines to the /usr/local/etc/PolicyKit/PolicyKit.conf file: match action=org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-removable match user=giuseppe return result=yes/ /match /match alas, with no improvement either... Before trying to use hal (which I needed for VirtualBox), I had changed system settings for making the flash USB drive and CD-rom user mountable, following the instructions in the handbook at: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/usb-disks.html that is: 1) adding myself to the operator group 2) adding the following lines to /etc/devfs.rules [localrules=5] add path 'cd*' mode 0660 group operator [localrules=6] add path 'da*' mode 0660 group operator 3) enable devfs.rules(5) in /etc/rc.conf: devfs_system_ruleset=localrules 4) adding the line to /etc/sysctl.conf vfs.usermount=1 5) create user accessible mount points: mkdir /mnt/cdrom /mnt/flash chown giuseppe:giuseppe /mnt/cdrom /mnt/flash It seems to me that this should not have any relevance for the misbehavior of hal/dbus, but I am reporting it here just in case there is some weird interaction that I am not aware of. I am kind of stumped at this point, I would be very grateful is somebody has any suggestion to share. thanks in advance! giuseppe ___ 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: dbus/hal in freebsd 7.2 hangs X11
Hi William, thank you very much for your reply. I believe, though, that if you disable hal and dbus in rc.conf, then you are not using them at all (the corresponding daemons don't start up at boot time). For me too the window managers work fine *without* hal/dbus, but I was trying to get these working. best, giuseppe On Fri, Sep 25, 2009 at 2:32 PM, William Bulley w...@umich.edu wrote: According to Giuseppe Pagnoni gpagn...@gmail.com on Fri, 09/25/09 at 03:32: I am trying to use hal/dbus on a i386 machine with FreeBSD 7.2 (ports updated to the latest tree snapshot as of yesterday), but despite spending a full day looking up the handbook, faq, and google, I cannot make it work properly.

I completely and utterly disagree with the claims made in that post. I've been using FreeBSD for nearly 10 years, and I vouch for the fact that FreeBSD has made huge strides during that time. Not only is the OS mature, but so are the people who write it, maintain it, and advocate it. Was about to add 'defend it' to the last sentence there, but it's not even necessary. FreeBSD's track record, and the fact that it's used in the most critical of infrastructures proves that FreeBSD merrily holds it's own water, without a word ever needing to be spoken.

Software raid is turned on after the kernel probes and starts running /etc/rc Software RAID1 is not striped across disks, so it can be booted from. All other software RAIDs on the drives are unable to be individualized, and shouldn't logically be bootable. I doubt you can do it with graid3 part of the kernel either.

More specifically, when I use either xfce4 or xmonad after having enabled dbus/hald in rc.conf: hald_enable=YES dbus_enable=YES both window managers become very unresponsive and hang as if hal was trying to access/mount something. For example, the terminal may take *seconds* to display typed in characters and in xfce if you click on the desktop icons for home directory etc., they don't open up at all in the thunar file manager (they do though, if you right click on them and choose 'open'). [edit] The same problem on my test machine: FreeBSD 8.0-RC1 xfce-4.6.1 xorg-7.4_2 I usually run it without dbus+hal and it works fine. With dbus+hal enabled (just for the sake of test) I experienced the same hangs. It works here. Can we see your xorg.conf?

bridge wlan and tap
I know everyone's busy with the release. This is not a showstopper, but it relates to networking, which is pretty central to a working bsd box... I read in some obscure post that I can't bridge from a wlan to tap because the wlan can only handle one MAC? Kindof thought every card has only one mac. No idea if this related to 6.x or something earlier, or current...of course I can't find the post again, either, but it was just a mention in some other howto. Anyway, I can't get an address on bridge0. rc.conf: cloned_interfaces=bridge0 autobridge_interfaces=bridge0 # autoconfigure these bridges autobridge_bridge0=tap* wlan0 ifconfig_bridge0=DHCP After I boot, no address on bridge0, and dhclient bridge0 just times out...sortof thought I was following the handbook man tap, but again, I have a 7.2 box on a wired network that this basic operation works on, so I'm suspecting wlan does break bridging...

Your statement would have had just as much relevance and impact if you had left the comparison out ;) Unlike the world of Microsoft things aren't changed for no rational reason in the world of UNIX-like systems. I think that you are missing something here. It is unfair to say that a commercial entity makes changes for no rational reason. Understand that there is *always* a reason for change. It may appear that a commercial entity makes drastic changes that _seem_ irrational to many people, but in reality, change is necessary. These changes are completely relevant to the shareholders who own the company. If there is no change, there is no growth. Revenue is a great motivator for change, and therefore change is very, very relevant. Getting back to the point, many of my personal docs/notes regarding FBSD dating back to 2000 are still relevant, but many aren't. The nice thing is, is that we have this list (and the other FBSD lists), it's archives, and numerous thousands of websites and documents freely available to us on any given day. I like to look at it this way... each day that a change in FreeBSD is made, is equal to someone, somewhere asking a question about the change, someone else responding to that question, and then information being fed into the global system of knowledge for everyone to see. In my time (w/FBSD), I can't recall one instance of a situation that I wasn't either able to solve via the lists, the archives, Google, or the documentation. When that ran out, a decent writeup of your issue is generally enough to entice the developers themselves to provide you feedback. iow, there is no such thing as an irrational change. Everything happens for a reason. If you must compare, the changes in FreeBSD or any of it's subsystems or 3rd party applications generally happen for reasons other than financial gain (afaik).
