Re: Upgrading to higher major version directly or via small steps?
I can't understand why should I use this adm tool instead of standard method, described in /usr/src/Makefile. List subscribers generally ask that those sending messages to the list place their replies below quoted material, rather than above it. If you read /usr/src/UPDATING, you will see: To rebuild everything and install it on the current system. --- # Note: sometimes if you are running current you gotta do more than # is listed here if you are upgrading from a really old current. This same statement is valid with regard to releases, and the -STABLE branches. Engelschall's adm toolkit and associated scripts attempt to do more than is listed here, as Engelschall described clearly at the link that Washington gave you, http://people.freebsd.org/~rse/upgrade/ 'for upgrading from X-STABLE to (X+1)-STABLE ... the usual build and install everything from source does not work or at least requires additional preparations.' I would qualify that does not work with a sometimes. Of course you don't have to use this stuff, but you may want to at least look through his scripts, to see if some of the steps are applicable to your machines. In any event, before you attempt a major upgrade, you should back up your data, so that it will not be lost if something goes wrong. Also, you may want to consider simply wiping your disks and starting afresh with new binary installation, rather than attempting to upgrade directly. Sometimes that is easier. You can always customize it later. And it's not an answer to this question: 6.2 to 7.3 is which one of the folowing: - 6.2-6.4-7.0-7.3 or - 6.2-7.3 directly?

XFCE 4.6.2 : Thunar 1.0.2 always reloads files under /usr/home/user
Hi, On my laptop under 8.1-RELEASE, I have installed XFCE 4.6.2 meta port last week, and I have noticed anything strange. When I open Thunar, my home directory is opened. But Thunar seems to reload and access to a few text files and hidden files and directories (.gvfs, .cshrc...) in my home. I can see that because the access time is increasing every second. And the mouse pointer change continually from arrow to hourglass. At the begining, I thought that there was my text files at the root of my home that were problematic, but I have moved them to another directory under my home, and the problem I always here. At this moment, I noticed that Thunar access to hidden files and directories. I don't think that it is a rights problem because I have given full access (777) to a text file that is concerned by this, and this has not resolved the problem. If I screen another directory, even under my home directory (/home/dir1 for example), the problem disappears. But when I screen my root's home (/home/Alexandre) the problem reappears. I previously installed Gnome 2.30 and I haven't noticed that problem under Nautilus. I uninstalled Gnome but keep some Gnome tools like Brasero, Nautilus or Power Management Tools. I haven't mounted any USB device, or NFS directory. Here my configuration options for Thunar : DBUS=on (default) Enable D-BUS support JPEG=on (default) Enable JPEG support FAM=on (default) Enable FAM support HAL=on (default) Enable HAL support GCONF=off (default) Enable GCONF support STARTUP=on (default) Enable startup notification support PLUG_APR=on (default) Thunar Advanced Properties plugin PLUG_APR_EXIF=off (default) Exif support for the APR plugin PLUG_SBR=on (default) Thunar Simple Builtin Renamers plugin PLUG_SBR_PCRE=off (default) Regular expression support for the SBR plugin PLUG_TPA=on (default) Thunar Trash Panel Applet plugin PLUG_UCA=on (default) Thunar User Customizable Actions plugin PLUG_WALL=on (default) Thunar Wallpaper plugin Best Regards, Alexandre ___ 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

Custom rc script using /usr/sbin/daemon
Hello,
I'm trying to create a script that would launch php-cgi in fastcgi mode.
So far, I've the following script :
#!/bin/sh
#
# PROVIDE: phpfastcgi
# REQUIRE: DAEMON
# KEYWORD: shutdown
#
# Add the following lines to /etc/rc.conf to enable phpfastcgi :
#
# phpfastcgi_enable (bool): Set it to YES to enable
phpfastcgi
# Default is NO.
# phpfastcgi_flags (str): Set the uwsgi command line
arguments
# Default is -M -L.
. /etc/rc.subr
name=phpfastcgi
rcvar=`set_rcvar`
[ -z $phpfastcgi_enable ] phpfastcgi_enable=NO
[ -z $phpfastcgi_flags ] phpfastcgi_flags=
load_rc_config $name
sig_stop=TERM
pidfile=/var/run/${name}/${name}.pid
command=/usr/sbin/daemon -f -p ${pidfile} /usr/local/bin/php-cgi
run_rc_command $1
When invoked with start argument, it barfs at me but launches php-cgi as
expected :
e...@srvbsdfenssv:~ sudo /usr/local/etc/rc.d/phpfastcgi start
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/phpfastcgi: WARNING: no shebang line in /usr/sbin/daemon
[: /usr/sbin/daemon: unexpected operator
Starting phpfastcgi.
When invoked with stop argument, it errors and doesn't stop the process
as expected :
e...@srvbsdfenssv:~ sudo /usr/local/etc/rc.d/phpfastcgi stop
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/phpfastcgi: WARNING: no shebang line in /usr/sbin/daemon
phpfastcgi not running? (check /var/run/phpfastcgi/phpfastcgi.pid).
From a quick peek at /etc/rc.subr, it seems that messages regarding
lack of shebang line in /usr/sbin/daemon indicate something is wrong in
my script but atm, I can't figure it.
Any idea, anyone ?
Kind Regards
Éric Masson

FreeBSD has been relegated to my desktop (which I have come to use only ocassionally, and servers). Best Regards Gonzalo Nemmi I have been tooling around with FreeBSD for a year or so now and I find it incredible that there is virtually no support for modern hardware; i.e., drivers for 'N' protocol devices. That one factor alone, and there are others, precludes me from seriously thinking about installing FreeBSD on a new laptop. The one PC that I have FreeBSD installed on is connected via Ethernet cable to my LAN. Once that PC is replaced by year's end with a more powerful, and wireless enabled unit, I am afraid my experiment with FreeBSD will come to a close. At present it certainly will not support the wireless card installed, and I am not even sure if it will support all of the other hardware either. I realize that at this point someone will inevitably chime in and play the blame the manufacturers whine. If that were factually correct, then no one else would be able to supply drivers and support for hardware that FreeBSD has left orphaned. The bottom line is that FreeBSD, if it is to continue to be considered a viable alternative operating system, must stay current in today's market. Many posts that I have viewed on other forums seem to feel that FreeBSD is sadly, whether do to bad choices such as those related to GPL licenses, or failure to properly gage today's market trends, is slipping into an abyss. -- Carmel ✌ carmel...@hotmail.com ___ 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
Is /boot updated by make installkernel or by make installworld ?
Background I'm running a ZFS FreeBSD-STABLE system on Western Digital 2TB EARS models green drives. These are the so called Advanced Format Drives that use a 4KiB block size internally but lie about this to the operating system and claim to use 512 byte blocks. This causes all sorts of performance issues so after some experimentation I ended up creating my ZFS pool directly on gnop 4KiB block size devices on top of the raw disks themselves. To avoid having to run a separate boot disk, I've used a work around of a 1GB USB stick which contains just /boot with the /boot/kernel directory containing only kernel, opensolaris.ko, zfs.ko aio.ko (for samba 3.4 using async I/O). This requires only 14MB on the USB stick and boots nicely with the USB /boot/loader.conf telling the kernel to mount root from the ZFS pool. P.S. Don't forget to use DOS wdidle3 to increase the 8 second head parking timeout up to 5 minutes with these drives. Now how to update the system ? My update world script follows the recommended procedure in the source Makefiles for updating the system and does an install kernel before rebooting into single user mode to install the new world (via an /etc/rc.d/ script). So my question relates to when I should update my USB stick's /boot directory. I'm assuming that the /boot directory should be owned by the kernel and could be updated by a make installkernel (which is what I do after building the world but before my reboot into single user to install the world). Is my assumption correct ? i.e. does a make installkernel replace the contents of /boot ? or is /boot updated by a make installworld ?

I don't think you can do it like that. IIRC when you try to stop a
daemon it doesn't just kill the process by pid, it also sanity checks
the command in case the daemon has died and the pid was reused.
Since daemon wont show-up in the ps output it can't be in the command
variable.
I think you need to write a start function, something like this:
start_cmd=phpfastcgi_start
command=/usr/local/bin/php-cgi
phpfastcgi_start(){
echo starting phpfastcgi.
/usr/sbin/daemon -f -p ${pidfile} ${command}

Jon Radel wrote: I'm somewhat unclear on how that follows. Might it not be that many manufacturers, busily dealing with Microsoft, and easing into Linux now that it has significant mindshare, have simply decided that there's no economic benefit to releasing detailed hardware specs in a form that works for FreeBSD developers? I really fail to see why you think the fact that the manufacturer itself has released binary drivers for Windows, and possibly Linux, and/or released hardware specs under NDA (non-disclosure agreement) to certain business partners, has any bearing on whether sufficient information to write a driver is available to any FreeBSD programmer with permission to use it to write an open source driver. There's also the whole train of thought that says FreeBSD isn't really aimed at the desktop/laptop/notebook use model and any benefit in that arena is entirely coincidental. ___ 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: Which OS for notebook
Well, according to me FreeBSD works very well on desktops (except for CUDA), but I agree that its usage is extremely limited for laptops and netbooks. If I can't use ACPI or wireless on my laptop/netbook, I don't really see the point... Over the past 6 years I have tried many times to use FreeBSD on my laptops/netbooks but these problems always made me fall back to Linux... I still use FreeBSD as the only OS on my desktop computers though...

I'm using FreeBSD on my Lenovo ThinkPad T60. One of the nice things about choosing FreeBSD for my laptop OS of choice is that, unlike MS Windows 7, I do not need to get the latest and greatest hardware to get acceptable performance. Of course, there are downsides to my choice, such as the lack of proper hardware acceleration with an AMD/ATI graphics adapter, but since I have stopped playing World of Warcraft (any computer game bores me after a little while), there is little need for that kind of thing. When deciding what to use, the first thing you need to do is figure out your needs. What kind of hardware do you need to support? How much ACPI support is enough? What do you need your software to do? There is no OS that does everything better than any other OS. This applies to Ubuntu, MS Windows, and FreeBSD (and pretty much everything else, too). Because my requirements for hardware are reasonably simple, my requirements for software capabilities take precedent.

When deciding what to use, the first thing you need to do is figure out your needs. What kind of hardware do you need to support? How much ACPI support is enough? What do you need your software to do? There is no OS that does everything better than any other OS. This applies to Ubuntu, MS Windows, and FreeBSD (and pretty much everything else, too).

Re: Which OS for notebook
Hi, I use lenovo thinkpad T400s with freebsd 8.1 amd64 and openbsd 4.8 i386 (snapshot) as dual boot. I'm extremely satisfied with both hardware and the OS's. The laptop is light, doesn't heat up as much as the others I've tried and is very performant. Wireless works very well with both OS's. suspend/resume works most of the time with freebsd, and always with openbsd. built in camera works with openbsd. Most of the special keys (light, suspend, etc) seems to work fine with freebsd.

Hello,
I don't think you can do it like that. IIRC when you try to stop a
daemon it doesn't just kill the process by pid, it also sanity checks
the command in case the daemon has died and the pid was reused.
Since daemon wont show-up in the ps output it can't be in the command
variable.
Ok, makes sense.
I think you need to write a start function, something like this:
start_cmd=phpfastcgi_start
command=/usr/local/bin/php-cgi
phpfastcgi_start(){
echo starting phpfastcgi.
/usr/sbin/daemon -f -p ${pidfile} ${command}
}
Fine, it works much better now.
Thanks a lot

Confused about keeping system up to date
Hi folks, I'm running Production Release 8.1 on a production server. For a variety of reasons, I've decided to keep my system up to date via building it from source code. 1.) I want to follow the 8.1 errata branch, which (after rebuilding) pretty much just applies any released patches, right? 2.) I want the entry in my supfile to read: tag=RELENG_8_1_0 - or tag=RELENG_8.1_0 ? 3.) As a general rule, the only time you really NEED to update, rebuild your system, etc., is after there's been a security patch release, right? 4.) Is RELENG_8_1 the same thing as 8.1-RELEASE ??? 5.) If I'm just trying to keep my system up to date as far as applying security patches, should I just follow the directions in the security patch notes to apply it, or should I update via cvsup (or csup, etc.) and rebuild the system?

If the issue is located in a userland utility, e.g. non-kernel related, you can apply the patch, rebuild/reinstall just that piece of code, and not reboot the system. A production system can remain in production. The thing that will be lacking is uname will not show the update status such as: 8.1-RELEASE-p1 - the p(x) number will not increment. This number will increment when doing a make buildworld. buildkernel, installkernel, and installworld rebuild by csup of source. This approach is necessitated when the issue is in the kernel code.

altering maxdsiz or datasize limit ?
Hello, We've been satisfied FreeBSD users for several years at our hosting company. Recently we ran into into a problem where a long running cron script was dying early because it is hitting FreeBSD's data segment size limit of 512 Megs, even though the machine has plenty more memory. I would like to raise this limit, and am currently using FreeBSD 6.2. When I researched this, I first found references to tuning maxdsiz in loader.conf, then some pointed out what I found myself this variable is no longer documented and perhaps no longer present in FreeBSD 6.2. I also found that it appears you can report on it and change it with the limits command: limits -d 1g That appears to work in the sense that the command is allowed and no error is returned, but then if I run a follow up limits report again, I see that no change is reported to have happened. So, how I can actually increase this limit? (Both immediately and persisting through a reboot). Thanks!

When deciding what to use, the first thing you need to do is figure out your needs. What kind of hardware do you need to support? How much ACPI support is enough? What do you need your software to do? There is no OS that does everything better than any other OS. This applies to Ubuntu, MS Windows, and FreeBSD (and pretty much everything else, too). Because my requirements for hardware are reasonably simple, my requirements for software capabilities take precedent. As such, out of the various OSes with which I am comfortable to some degree, I pretty much get to choose whatever OS I want. Given my requirements for software capabilities, FreeBSD is the obvious choice. -- Chad Perrin [ original content licensed OWL: http://owl.apotheon.org ] ___ 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
Questions about udp socket(AF_UNSPEC)
Hi,
When disconnect a UDP socket, Linux kernel set local port to zero if the port
number comes from a implicit bind, but on FreeBSD, it doesn't set
local port to zero.
Here's my test program:
#include errno.h
#include string.h
#include sys/types.h
#include sys/socket.h
#include netinet/in.h
#include net/if.h
#include netdb.h
#include arpa/inet.h
#include stdio.h
#include stdlib.h
#define SERV_PORT 12345
void print_local_addr(int s);
int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
int sockfd;
struct sockaddr_in servaddr, cliaddr;
if (argc != 2) {
printf(Usage: disconnect_udp ipaddress);
exit(0);
}
// creat a UDP socket which binds to a local address
sockfd = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, 0);
bzero(cliaddr, sizeof(cliaddr));
cliaddr.sin_family = AF_INET;
if (inet_pton(AF_INET, argv[1], cliaddr.sin_addr) != 1) {
perror(inet_pton failed);
}
bind(sockfd, (struct sockaddr *)cliaddr, sizeof(cliaddr));
// connect this UDP socket
bzero(servaddr, sizeof(servaddr));
servaddr.sin_family = AF_INET;
servaddr.sin_port = htons(SERV_PORT);
if (inet_pton(AF_INET, argv[1], servaddr.sin_addr) != 1) {
perror(inet_pton failed);
}
if (connect(sockfd, (struct sockaddr *)servaddr, sizeof(servaddr)) != 0) {
perror(connect failed);
}
print_local_addr(sockfd);
// disconnect it
servaddr.sin_family = AF_UNSPEC;
if (connect(sockfd, (struct sockaddr *)servaddr, sizeof(servaddr)) != 0) {
perror(connect failed);
}
print_local_addr(sockfd);
close(sockfd);
}
void print_local_addr(int s)
{
struct sockaddr_in localaddr;
socklen_t len = 0;
char temp[INET_ADDRSTRLEN];
len = sizeof(localaddr);
if (getsockname(s, (struct sockaddr *)localaddr, len) != 0) {
perror(getsockname failed);
}
inet_ntop(AF_INET, localaddr.sin_addr, temp, INET_ADDRSTRLEN);
printf(Local binding: address=%s, port=%d\n,
temp, ntohs(localaddr.sin_port));
}
In Linux:
Local binding: address=192.168.1.30, port=42610
Local binding: address=192.168.1.30, port=0
In FreeBSD:
Local binding: address=192.168.1.30, port=35133
connect failed: Address family not supported by protocol family
Local binding: address=0.0.0.0, port=0
Any idea? Thank you.
Regards,
Dave.

Erik The OpenBSD guys did a really hardwork to get suspend/resume work out of the box on their latest releases (specially for 4.7 and 4.8, but it all started a few releases back)... they gave it some sort of priority status ... maybe they realized that nowadays most of the work gets donde on notebooks ... that effort seems to have paid off.

I find working with the ports system easier, as an end user, than DEB- and RPM-based systems that I've used. I have never built DEB- or RPM-based packages, and the one time I tried creating a port I failed (though frankly I didn't try that hard -- it was just an experiment when I was bored one evening), so I guess I'll have to take your word for it when it comes to creating ports. -- Chad Perrin [ original content licensed OWL: http://owl.apotheon.org ] pgpVkyr6iqXcJ.pgp Description: PGP signature
