Task bar missed when creating PC-BSD release 9.1 64 bit VM in VMware Workstation Version 98.02 build-1031769
Hi, I am trying to create a virtual machine of PC-BSD release 9.1 64 bit in VMware Workstation Version 98.02 build-1031769 based on PCBSD9.1-x64-DVD.iso downloaded from ftp://mirrors.isc.org/pub/pcbsd/9.1/amd64/PCBSD9.1-x64-DVD.iso in Windows 7 64 bits system. The screen resolution is 1280x1024, if I chose "Yes" in "Confirm Resolution" window to keep the autodetec, then after the whole creation process finished, and login in as a created user, the task doesn't appear in the bottom below the desktop. If I powered off the VM, and changed the Display setting to "Specificy monitor settings" with "Maximum resolution" set to "1024 x 768" by "Virtual Machine Settings" in Workstation, and repower on the VM, then the task bar appears on the bottom below desktop. What is the issue? Did I miss anything during the VM creation? Thanks. David , and setup network configuration and installed Firefox 20.0 by AppCafe, and configured the network setting in Preference->Advanced of Firefox, and I could access Internet. Now I need to build my own customized kernel, but there is no src subdirectory in /usr, so here is my question: 1.Is there any way to install kernel source when I create the virtual machine from PCBSD9.1-x64-DVD.iso ? 2.Any BKM to get the kernel source after the Virtual Machine already created as my case now?

mhonarc 64-bit Package for mhonarc6.18 is stale.
mhonarc is a mime message archiver that is used with nmh and possibly other applications. I used pkg_add -r mhonarc to install it on a new system I was building and then discovered that attempts to reply to messages produced no quoted output and a spew of perl warnings about "defined" being deprecated. The messages tell you what line and in what application the offending directives live and one must then edit out the word defined from those lines. The current port of mhonarc, however, is fine so I first did make deinstall in the /usr/ports/www/mhonarc directory and then did make install from the port and things are now perking along nicely. If there is a better place to send this message, I will certainly be glad to send it. All somebody needs to do is create the mhonarc.tbz package from the most current port for both 32 and 64-bit systems. Who knows; I may be the only one in the world who is still using nmh, but it is useful when you want scripts to send mail, etc. Martin McCormick ___ 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"

I'd like to upgrade this machine to 64 bit AMD and I'd prefer not to do it from a DVD if I can do it from source. Has anyone tried this and succeeded (or failed spectacularly) on a remote install/upgrade?

Hello all. I have a question about FreeBSD 64Bit Applications I want to install FreeBSD 64 Bit to have most memory10 GB ram or up , and to make more stable. My questions is .is FreeBSD 64 Bit stable and Rock such as 32 bit ? These standard applications are working well on 64 bit or not ?

Well, IF you installed the source tree from the SAME cd which you installed the FreeBSD you have now, there won't be any problems. You said you want to keep the stock kernel you installed so I assume that you haven't updated anything from the internet. You MUST install the source tree from the same DVD/CD from where you installed your running kernel! The diference is that the packages are meant to run on their respective version. I believe that packages that don't rely on a specific thing of one version should run without problems on both. But this is not normal or even needed at all, specially because it is so easy to bring everything uptodate to the same version. I installed from an 8.2 boot only CD (ie network install) and have since patched up to 8.2-p2. I assume I can just run sysinstall from my system and pull the src tree from the ftp server? When 8.3 comes out, what do I need to do to update the src tree? This may be documented in the UPDATING docs, but having never messed with the source tree I haven't had cause to look.

Virtualbox on 8.2 64-bit
I was attempting to install virtualbox on my 8.2-p2 64-bit system this weekend, and hit a rather curious situation. The pre-packaged version of virtualbox retrievable by pkg_add is 3.2.12 (which looks in ports/amd64/packages-8.2-release). Poking around on the ftp server, I see that packages-8.1-release also has a 3.x version, but packages-8-stable has the latest 4.0.8. I went to look in ports, which contains 4.0.8, and build it myself but I got an error saying I need to have the 32-bit libraries installed in order to build virtualbox. So, my question is 2-fold: 1) What is the reason the 64-bit pre-packaged version of virtualbox is still at the 3.x version? Would there be a problem with installing the packages (virtualbox and kernel module) from packages-8-stable? 2) How do I build virtualbox 4.0.8 on a 64-bit system w/o the 32-bit libs. Is that possible? Searching around has produced old e-mail threads indicating this was a problem as of 2 or so years ago with the 3.x release. If it's not possible to build w/o the 32-bit libs, what do I need to install?

Re: Can I run a 32-bit jail (or software) on a 64-bit server?
I've had success running [at least some] 32 bit software on 64 bit FreeBSD without even using a jail. Do you have /usr/lib32 on your system? This would get installed for example if you rebuild world/kernel following this: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html and if you don't inhibit the installation of /usr/lib32 by setting some conf file flag somewhere. There are probably other ways to "get" /usr/lib32 on your system, but I usually rebuild world to make it happen.

However you won't be able to correctly compile 32 bit software on your 64 bit system. For compiling, you _should_ use a jail, or compile on a 32 bit system.

64-bit PGP isn't Decrypting.
There are two new FreeBSD8.1 systems. Both got pgp added
to them by use of pkg_add -r pgp. Both adds installed
Pretty Good Privacy(tm) 2.6.3ia - Public-key encryption for the masses.
(c) 1990-96 Philip Zimmermann, Phil's Pretty Good Software. 1996-03-04
International version - not for use in the USA. Does not use RSAREF.
A test file that had been encrypted earlier was used on both
systems. It works fine on the 32-bit system and always fails on
the 64-bit system. Trust me. As many times as I tried it, I
couldn't possibly be mistyping the pass phrase every time on the
64-bit system and then getting it right on the 32-bit system.
On the 64-bit system, one can not seem to encrypt a file
and then decrypt it with the pass phrase.
If you take the encrypted file from the 64-bit system
and try to decrypt on the 32-bit system, that fails so something
appears wrong with the numerical encryption process that is
peculiar to being 64 bits. I am thinking some of the cipher
routines may be relying on the width of certain expressions that
change if running in 64-bit mode.
So far, files encrypted on the 64-bit system are
ultrasecure in that they can'ts seem to be read anywhere.:-)
Has anybody else had the same problem on a 64-bit
version of pgp?
I am glad I discovered this before anything crytical
happened.

I have a laptop with the same card. In a December 23, 2009 (in current I think) the driver maintainer said: I see that your device has LP-PHY instead of A/B/G/N PHYs so currently it's not supported by bwn(4). AFAIK linux has a weak but working implementation so we could refer to other Open Sources. At least on 8.1 bwn does not recognize the device. I can not find XP drivers. Broadcom's site does not (as far as I could find) mention the card. It does not sound like the XP driver work much better. Using the win7 drivers produces a hard loop upon doing an ifconfig. There are no PRs on either ndis or bwn so I assume this will be the state of things for a while at least. If anyone got the XP drivers to work with this card, please share the solution and how to get the drivers. ___ 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"

Have you tried starting from:
Locate the service and try starting it there. The error message would
be a lot more revealing. You could click the and try to
locate the problem in one of the logs.
I did notice a post on an MS Forum, I forgot which one, that the latest
version of Bacula does not work on Windows. You apparent have to use a
deprecated version.
In any case, this might be better suited to an MS Forum discussion.

Problem installing Bacula client on win 2008 64 bit server
Hello
Trying to install bacula client on win 2008 64 bit server. After
installation the bacula client should start automatically but it dont. I
then tried to start the bacula windows service manually but are getting the
following (and pointless) error message: Error 1067. The prosess terminated
unexpektedly.
Ok, so now i open a CMD window and try to start the service
by starting bacula-fd.exe, but with no luck. Then I add the -t option and
get the error message:

/home/kern/bacula/k/bacula/src/lib/ parse_conf.c:898
Config error: Cannot open config file
"C:\ProgramData\Bacula/bacula-fd.conf": No such file or directory
I try to look in the ProgramDate catalogue to see if i can find the
bacula-fd.conf file and have a look in it. But there is no ProgramData
catalogue. The bacula-fd.conf file is in in C:/Program files/bacula
catalogue. Looks like this:

The password is the same on the client and the servert, I checked
that. Anyhow, it should be possible to start the deamon/service even if the
client have no contact with the servere, right?
Anybody have a fix on this?

Sometimes you'll get a question like "Why don't you use the x86_64 naming convention like the rest of Linux?". (There is more than one thing wrong with that question) AMD64 is what x86-64 officially became. Intel doesn't technically use AMD64, but instead uses a compatible 64 bit instruction set. As far was what the OP should use, depends on the CPU. Not all Xeon's support AMD64 but any recent ones should. I'm not all up on my Dell models, but I think the 1950 shouldn't have any troubles with AMD64. However at the end of the day your choices are AMD64 or i386 as ia64 is for itanium's. The Itanium instruction set is completely different than AMD64 and no amount of coaxing will make it work. -- Adam Vande More ___ 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: 64 Bit OS

If you plan to go for FreeBSD 7, you may have to 1) upgrade the firmware of your 1950 2) customize the kernel and remove what is useless some drivers in the GENERIC kernel hang at boot with FreeBSD 7.

This option is only used to set the flags for the C and C++ compilers. The base system compiler for FreeBSD 7-9 is a patched version of gcc 4.2, and is hooked up to a patched version of binutils 2.15. This compiler suite and tool-chain are not new enough to take full advantage of your CPU: the best you can do is set it to auto-detect your CPU, or hard-code it to the most modern compatible CPU that existed when the compiler suite and tool-chain were written. However, some people have started to use newer compilers and tool-chains from FreeBSD Ports (some ports even require it), and if you do that, you may need a different value. Probably, your best bet is to use: CPUTYPE?= native and to check to make sure that the base system compiler is actually equating this with 'nocona', and enabling all of your SIMD extensions that it supports. This won't make a great deal of difference for kernel performance, but it will affect other base system programs and ports if you are using CFLAGS with -march or other optimization flags. b. ___ 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"

64-bit or 32-bit bind and DHCP
We are upgrading our FreeBSD servers to FreeBSD8.0 and most of the servers are 64-bit platforms. At one time, there was an issue in which either bind or dhcpd actually ran a bit slower in the 64-bit version of FreeBSD.

If you're not sure which is the right list, then questi...@ is a good place
to start. I'd hope no one would fear to ask what they needed to know in this
list, or it will have become pretty useless for its intended function.
I have a 64bit intel processor, Dual core machine and I have installed 64
bit Linux as well as FreeBSD and thought of seeing the size of integer. On
both the platform my integer is showing 4 bytes which is 32 bit. I thought
integer are the most basic of the data types and governs the architecture as
32 bit or 64 bit, so why integer shows me 4bytes instead of 8. Does this
means that even on 64 bit architecture we are limited to just 4GB of RAM.
Not at all. 'int' is just one of the basic types mandated by the various
C specifications over the years. There are 4 basic integer types -- together
with their unsigned counterparts:
char unsigned char --- usually 1 byte[*].
shortunsigned short --- usually 2 bytes
int unsigned--- usually 4 bytes
long unsigned long --- nowadays usually 8 bytes
Now, the C standards only require that the lengths of these types fulfil
the following condition:
short <= int <= long
and there are some older CPU architectures where short and int are 2 bytes
and long is 4 bytes, but those are exceedingly rare nowadays and you won't
run into anything like that unless you work on embedded systems.
In general the sizes above are what pretty much all current CPUs since about
2000 have supported -- mostly because that's what the Intel x86 series used.
Before then there were quite a few CPUs where 'long' was 4 bytes, but those
sizes were otherwise about the same.
However, it's not the size of 'int' which is the important thing. It's
the size of pointers.
The big deal with 64bit vs 32bit architectures is having registers of the
appropriate length that you can do 64bit integer operations natively. This
particularly applies to memory address manipulation. In principle you can
make a composite integer type of any length by stringing together as many
shorter types as you want, but in practice that's too inefficient for most
purposes, especially anything as fundamental as memory addressing. So pointers
are generally no longer than the widest hardware registers on the CPU. Hence
the length of pointers (memory addresses) is the fundamental distinction.
On a 32bit architecture, pointers are 4bytes long and can address up to
4294967296 bytes (4GiB) of RAM. On a 64bit machines pointers are 8bytes long
and can address 18446744073709551616 bytes (16EiB) of RAM. The Intel Core 2
Duo is capable of running in either 32 or 64 bit mode. This C snippet will
show you how long some important types are on your system:
#include
int
main (int argc, char *argv)
{
printf( "int:\t%d\nlong:\t%d\npointer:\t%d\n", sizeof(int),
sizeof(long), sizeof(void*) );
}
Cheers,
Matthew
[*] char can sometimes be an unsigned quantity, in which case there
should be a 'signed char' equivalent.

If 32-bits works . but 64-bits does not work . it may mean that a hardware part is not usable by the 64-bits operating system . If 32-bits even does not work ( we know that 6.4 32-bits is working ) this may mean that in your PC there is an older hardware which its support is or has been removed from the operating system . Another approach would be removal of components from ISA slots and then try to boot the 64-bits operating system . If it can boot , then add the ISA components one-by-one to isolate which component is causing the lock up . If even this does not work : Then best action may be to use 6.4 or if it is possible to replace the older hardware by a newer ( or compatible ) hardware . In new main boards there is no ISA bus slots . ISA slots components approximately can NOT be auto-detected easily because they do not have such a related circuitry . There is another point : Some manufacturers are producing parts which can only work by a famous widely used operating system by cutting some electronic circuitry parts . Such components can NOT work under Unix or Linux . During selection of parts it may be useful to check whether at least it can work under Linux if BSD is not mentioned at all . Thank you very much .
