USB 2.0 webcam in virtualbox on CURRENT not working!

2014-07-16 Thread O. Hartmann
I desperately need to have a SKYPE based chat with an offshore
department. Since Skype is not a native port, I try to use a virtual
box running Windows 7. And here the nightmare begins.

Skype works in the VBox, but audio only. I have two WebCAMs here, a
brand new Logitech C270 and a older Medion MD86511. The latter one can
be seen in the device list of Windows 7 within the VBox, but can not be
activated.

More frustrating, the Logitech C270, doesn't work, it is not even seen
by the VBox. I tested the cam on another Windows 7 system of a
colleague and it works. FreeBSD does also see this USB Cam, but why
is the device hidden for the VBox?

In the configuration, I have the ability to enable/disable USB 2.0
subsystem. Enabled, VBox rejects to start on all FBSD around (9.3-PRE,
11-CURRENT). What is that? Is VBox not capable of using USB 2.0
devices in conjunction with FreeBSD?

How to solve this? Is there a Skype 6 client for FreeBSD?

Thanks in advance, please CC me,
Oliver

Just in case, you could try the patch attached to this bug:

The patch was compiled for 9-STABLE; if it does not apply to the 10.0
sources, then drop me a line so I can adapt it.

I tried this patch on a few FreeBSD VMs, and each of them stopped being
able to mount the root filesystem because of it.  I don't really know
what the explanation is...

That patch is just wrong.  I've updated the PR with something that is probably
similar to your patch (explicitly ignore a size of zero back from EDD).


BTW:
It's ZFS-only on my box so I upgrade the BIOS firmware to latest v1.2.0, 
anyway problems gone by

using FreeBSD 9.3-RELEASE zfsloader instead.

Would you mind trying a default (non-PRODUCTION) build, but with junk
filling turned off?

adrian@adrian-hackbox:~ % ls -l /etc/malloc.conf

lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  10 Jun 24 04:37 /etc/malloc.conf - junk:false

That fixes almost all of the malloc debug performance issues that I
see without having to recompile.

I'd like to know if you see any after that.

Thanks!

Hi,

Skype:

Mount this union with /usr/ports:

https://github.com/cpu82/skype4-ports

And then you can install skype and even use the video chat.

Future of pf / firewall in FreeBSD ? - does it have one ?

2014-07-16 Thread Kristian K. Nielsen

Hi all,

I have been encouraged by people on the pf-mailinglist to move this 
discussion to the current mailinglist since this may be an area in the 
OS where FreeBSD need to focus on next.


First of all I am a happy user of the pf-firewall module and have been 
for years and think it is really great - the trouble is that lately 
(since 2008) its getting a bit dusty.


The last few years it seem that pf in FreeBSD got a long way away from 
pf in OpenBSD where it originated
- also looking at the ipfilter (ipf) and ipfw - they both to me do not 
seem to be as complete as pf.


So I am curious if any on the mailing could elaborate about what the
future of pf in FreeBSD is or should be.

a) First of all - are any actively developing pf in FreeBSD?

b) We are a major release away from OpenBSD (5.6 coming soon) - is
following OpenBSD's pf the past? - should it be?

c) We never got the new syntax from OpenBSD 4.7's pf - at the time a 
long discussion on the pf-mailing list flamed the new syntax saying it 
would cause FreeBSD administrators too much headache. Today on the list 
it seems everyone wants it - so would we rather stay on a dead branch 
than keep up with the main stream?


d) Anyone working on bringing FreeBSD up to pf 5.6? - seem dead on the 
pf-list.


e) OpenBSD is retiring ALTQ entirely - any thoughts on that?
http://undeadly.org/cgi?action=articlesid=20140419151959

f) IPv6 support?- it seem to be more and more challenged in the current 
version of pf in FreeBSD and I am (as well as others) introducing more 
and more IPv6 in networks.
E.x. Bugs #179392, #172648, #130381, #127920 and more seriously #124933, 
which is the bug on not handling IPv6 fragments which have been open 
since 2008 and where the workaround is necessity to leave an completely 
open hole in your firewall ruleset to allow all fragments. According to 
comment in the bug, this have been long gone in OpenBSD.


g) Performance, can we live with pf-performance that compared to OpenBSD 
is slower by a factor of 3 or 4, even after the multi-core support in 
FreeBSD 10?
(Henning Brauer noted that in this talk at 
http://tech.yandex.ru/events/yagosti/ruBSD/talks/1488/ (at 33:18 and 
36:53)) - credit/Jim Thompson


h) Bringing back patches from pfSense?

And my most important question:

* Should this or could this be a project for the foundation to either do 
a summer project or funded project to bring this part of the OS up to date?



Hope to hear from you all,

Best regards,

Kristian Kræmmer Nielsen,
Odense, Denmark

Hi!

 * Should this or could this be a project for the foundation to either do 
 a summer project or funded project to bring this part of the OS up to date?

My 2 cents: Yes, this should be tackled by a dedicated project, even
better if funded by the foundation.
