The C code can be fetched from here http://www.unixarea.de/image.c

The problem is solved meanwhile. I got to know that I have to start the

$ /usr/local/libexec/gnome-settings-daemon &

which is not launched by default for KDE users (like me). I have updated
the Wiki page about how to compile and start Ekiga (this was the
application I was debugging):

http://wiki.ekiga.org/index.php/Compile_your_own_SVN_version_of_Ekiga_on_FreeBSD

Would be nice, though, if someone could explain how the icon files are
coming from the disk to the GTK application, because they are not
visible in the truss log. Thanks

GTK+3.0 application does not show some existing icons

2013-05-04 Thread Matthias Apitz

Hello,

I have a problem with some GTK+3 application not showing some existing
icons of the gnome-icon-theme. To nail it down, I went to some GTK tutorial
pages and hacked together a simple application (attached) which can be
compiled with just:

$ gcc -g image.c `pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-3.0` -o image

and shows the first argument as icon name, for example:

$ ./image document-print-preview

which works fine, while other icons do not work, for example

$ ./image bottom

Could some kind soul bring a bit light into the relation between an icon
name and the corresponding PNG file name.png? Because, even in the case when
the icon is shown, one does no see any open of the PNG file with
truss(1). How this is done? And why some of the icons are woring while
others do not?

If it does matter, it is a system with a fresh ports tree from April,
1st, SVN revision r315646.

Thanks

matthias

Feel free to fix it. I could even imagine that *.mk and a lot of tools
are not UTF-8 ready and the missing blank is one of thousands chars you
might miss.

Until today I thought that this, spaces in file or dir names, have been
the typically attitude of Windows minded people; if it now comes to
FreeBSD hackers, the world is coming to its end :-)

Just compile and install the required ports from /usr/ports on your
main host and create binary packages of them in some central directory
with:

for i in /var/db/pkg/*; do
   pkg=`basename $i`
   pkg_create -Rnb $pkg
done

Move the result to the CD/DVD and that's it

Agreed, if the goal is commercial. But I do not know if this price
invites are people who want to start digging into the FreeBSD kernel to

I was looking for a way to remove all temp. files in /usr/obj, but after
this it must still be possible to do 'make installworld' and 'make
installkernel'; just to reduce the amount of files to copy over to the
USB key;

Thanks for the pointers and the comments from you and Wojciech;
I'm attaching below what I have planned as the exactly procedure now and
would thank in advance for any comments;

one remaining question is, how could I attache the geli(8) crypted file
system during boot (via rc.conf) but using a passphrase which should be
asked and typed in on boot? is this somehow possible?

Thanks

# gpart destroy -F ada0
# gpart create -s gpt ada0
# gpart add -t freebsd-boot -s 512k ada0
# gpart bootcode -b /boot/pmbr -p /boot/gptboot -i1 ada0

# gpart bootcode -b /boot/pmbr -p /boot/gptboot -i1 ada1
# gpart add -t freebsd-ufs -b 1m ada1

this allows as well at the beginning to boot the system from ada1
(must be done manually from BIOS); later we will copy over /boot from ada1p2
to ada0p2 (see below);


create on ada0 the future /boot and /privae file systems and on ada1
the future / root file system; and mount the last as /mnt

# newfs /dev/ada0p2
# newfs /dev/ada0p3

# newfs /dev/ada1p2
# mount /dev/ada1p2 /mnt

start the mouse daemon (only for cut&paste:

# /etc/rc.d/moused onestart

install the system (user land and kernel) from /usr/src to /mnt:

# cd /usr/src
# make installworld  DESTDIR=/mnt
# make installkernel DESTDIR=/mnt KERNCONF=GENERIC INSTALL_NODEBUG=t
# make distrib-dirs  DESTDIR=/mnt
# make distribution  DESTDIR=/mnt

create the future /etc/fstab to mount / as root fs:

# echo /dev/ada1p2 / ufs rw 1 1  > /mnt/etc/fstab

configure some basic services in future /etc/rc.conf:

# cat < /mnt/etc/rc.conf
tmpmfs="YES"
tmpsize="128m"
wlans_ath0="wlan0"
ifconfig_wlan0="WPA DHCP"
ifconfig_bge0="DHCP"
ifconfig_em0="DHCP"
hostname=aurora.Sisis.de
sshd_enable="YES"
moused_enable="YES"
keymap="german.iso"
EOF

create at least one unpriv user to be able to SSH into the
new system later:

#  chroot /mnt /usr/sbin/adduser

unmount the new / and reboot:

# umount /mnt
# reboot

after reboot system should now come up from ada1 and we copy over the /boot to 
ada0p2

# mount /dev/ada0p2 /mnt
# cp -Rp /boot /mnt
# echo 'geom_eli_load="YES"' > /mnt/boot/loader.conf
# echo 'vfs.root.mountfrom="ufs:ada1p2"'>> /mnt/boot/loader.conf

# umount /mnt
# reboot

should now boot by itself from ada0 and mount the tootfs from ada1p2;

later we will use /dev/ada0p3 for the geli(8) encrypted file system and
we will mount this as /private; my $HOME should be /private/home

OK, but I wanted to have most of the space of the 4 GB SSD encrypted
with geli(8); so I should make there some slice containing /boot
(unencrypted) and a second slice which later will contain my HOME and
encrypted; wrong?

cleaning /usr/obj before copying it to USB key

2012-06-09 Thread Matthias Apitz

Hi,

I build kernel and userland (out of SVN) and install in on an USB key
mounted as /mnt this way:

# cd /usr/src
...
# make installworld  DESTDIR=/mnt
# make installkernel DESTDIR=/mnt KERNCONF=GENERIC INSTALL_NODEBUG=t
# make distrib-dirs  DESTDIR=/mnt
# make distribution  DESTDIR=/mnt

To use the (booted) USB key later to install other laptops or netbooks I
enrich the key with /usr/src and /usr/obj as:

# cd /usr
# cp -Rp src /mnt/usr
# cp -Rp obj /mnt/usr

Having done this I can use the key just to install the system on the
laptop with the above DESTDIR=/mnt wherein /mnt is now the target root
of the laptop;

all this works just fine;

my problem is that the both 'cp -Rp ...' commands takes many hours (12
and six hours) because they are transferring a lot(!!!) of small files; I
have had a look into /usr/obj and it seems that after 'makeworld' and
'makekernel' there are left over a lot of temporary files from the build
processes...

is there a clean way to remove those files before 'cp -Rp obj /mnt/usr'
while the result is still useful for another make install with DESTDIR=/mnt ?

Thanks

I did the same tests with my laptop Acer Aspire One D250 and the small

As you can see the EeePC with it's Intel Celeron CPU of only 900 MHz is
even faster then the Acer with Atom CPU;

BTW: On the EeePC I run 10-CURRENT, KDE 3.5.10 and never encounter
performance issues while reading, writing etc. 

Concerning your hint installing the systen on the second SSD of around
16 GByte (marketing GBytes :-)), the BIOS by itself is unable to boot
from; one has to go (by pressing ESC) to the boot menu to pick it up as
current boot device; any idea how this could be changed?

Thanks

Talking about another question, related to file systems on SSD:

My netbook with the two SSD has file systems mounted as:

$ df -kh
Filesystem  SizeUsed   Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/ada0s1a3.7G567M3.1G15%/
/dev/ada1s1a 14G8.7G5.9G60%/usr/local
/dev/md0125M 88k115M 0%/tmp

Below /usr/local is also my (one and only) HOME dir;

I'm on the way to reinstall all with 10-CURRENT and I'd like to crypt the
partition /dev/ada1s1a with geli(8).

Any objections against running geli(8) on SSD?

Should I split /dev/ada1 into two separate partitions, one for real
/usr/local and one for my HOME and only crypt this with geli(8)?

I think it would be good to crypt my HOME on a netbook.

Thanks

But this is then rather a bug in fdisk(8) and not a PEBKAC, or? :-)

Hi,

To create the above shown partition layout I have not used gpart(8); I
just said:

# fdisk -I /dev/ada0
# fdisk -B /dev/ada0

# bsdlabel -w ada0s1 auto
# bsdlabel -B ada0s1

changed partition "a" from "unused" to "4.2BSD" as partition type:

# setenv EDITOR /usr/bin/vi
# bsdlabel -e ada0s1

created the future root-filesystem on it

# newfs -m 0 -o space /dev/ada0s1a

The 2nd SSD was formated like this:

# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ada1 count=2
# fdisk -I /dev/ada1
# newfs -m 0 -o space /dev/ada1s1a
    # echo "/dev/ada1s1a  /usr/local  ufs  rw,noatime  1  1" >> /etc/fstab
# mount /usr/local

What is wrong with this procedure?

Thanks

matthias

Hi,

Some weeks ago in the context of Openmoko (my Linux based cellphone)
I came across to this very interesting article about file systems and
SSD; even if the article is in Linux context, it contains useful
information about how SSD behaves when updating blocks on SSD.

https://lwn.net/Articles/428584/

I have to admit, that I run an EeePC 900 netbook for many years now (with
now FreeBSD 10-CURRENT) and the only special option for the SSD (the
EeePC has only two SSD) is -noatime on mounting. But this is just a
small netbook to read stuff or write something when I'm in town and does
not need performance tweaking.

HIH

Hello,

I've forwarded your question to a colleague who is an Ubuntu fan and he
replied, that the creation of a booting Ubuntu USB key is possile with
Ubuntu tools/methods only, i.e. booting the Ubuntu live CD and following the
ways to install it onto the key (and not on disk).

He wrote some years ago a small Wiki page about, it is in German but
maybe you can clue something from the commands there:

Hi Rodrigo,

Thanks for your pointer to your page; the page has a small typo:

% sysctrl hw.acpi.battery

it should say "sysctl";

one question: how do you get the output of 'battery' into the status
bar (I'musing KDE 3.5.10).

Thanks

I understand the idea of the OP as, based on the source IP addr, he
wants to install routes that the resulting IP pkg to the source IP goes
to "nowhere", i.e. not back to the origin IP and the 1st SYN is not
answered back to the source IP;

Yes, I saw this later too. And sys/dev/bwn does not compile in my old
kernel env. I've pulled out now HEAD from SVN and will build an USB key
based on this to see if it will have support for this chip. Thanks

Broadcom BCM4310 / bwi(4) and interface bwi0 is not showing up

2010-10-23 Thread Matthias Apitz

Hello,

I have a new laptop Acer Aspire One D250 and I want to install a
8-CURRENT as of CVS from May 2009 (as I use this on all my laptops).
The laptop comes with as Wifi chip:

no...@pci0:1:0:0:   class=0x028000 card=0xe01b105b chip=0x431514e4
rev=0x01 hdr=0x00
vendor = 'Broadcom Corporation'
device = 'BCM4310 USB Controller'
class  = network

I learned after searching around that it should be supported by bwi(4)
and one should install the firmware kmod from the ports. I have in
loader.conf:

if_bwi_load="YES"
bwi_v3_ucode_load="YES"

and a kldstat shows that both are loaded. But the bwi0 interface is not
showing up. 

If I do a kldunload/kldload it says:

After a lot of testing I got it to woork with:

kern.cam.boot_delay="1"
kern.cam.scsi_delay="3000"

i.e. it works with 3000, but not with 1

Thanks

USB key && can't mount /root during boot

2010-10-23 Thread Matthias Apitz

Hello,

I have now again the same problem (see Subject) again with a new laptop
Acer Aspire One D250 and neither of the two values in loader.conf:


kern.cam.boot_delay="1"

kern.cam.scsi_delay="1"

seems to help. The 10 sec delay is not even visible during the boot, the
message to enter manually the root device just pops up without any
delay. What does this mean?

Thanks

The change was introduced with rev. 1.2 of the driver:

revision 1.2
date: 2009/06/26 11:45:06;  author: rwatson;  state: Exp;  lines: +2 -2
SVN rev 195049 on 2009-06-26 11:45:06Z by rwatson

Use if_maddr_rlock()/if_maddr_runlock() rather than IF_ADDR_LOCK()/
IF_ADDR_UNLOCK() across network device drivers when accessing the
per-interface multicast address list, if_multiaddrs.  This will
allow us to change the locking strategy without affecting our driver
programming interface or binary interface.

and I checked out RELENG_8_0_0_RELEASE (revision: 1.3.2.2.2.1)

will Cc: the author to see what I should do with my 8-CURRENT from May
2009 to get support for this NIC;

Thanks

Yes, thanks. I realized this some hours ago and CVS up this too, but

kmod if_alc in 8-CURRENT

2010-10-21 Thread Matthias Apitz

Hello,

I have on my laptop a kernel based on CVS from May 2009, i.e. 8-CURRENT
at this time. 

I now need support for Atheros AR813x/AR815x PCIe
Ethernet, the kmod if_alc.ko. That's why I did:

# cd /usr/src/sys/dev
# cvs update -d -r RELENG_8_0_0_RELEASE alc

and have now:

# ls -l alc
total 142
drwxr-xr-x  2 root  wheel 512 21 oct 15:30 CVS
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  103832 21 oct 15:30 if_alc.c
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel   29084 21 oct 15:30 if_alcreg.h
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel8119 21 oct 15:30 if_alcvar.h

but a 

# cd /usr/src
# make buildkernel KERNCONF=GENERIC

does not build the module if_alc.ko

What I'm missing? Or what is the correct way to get this module for my
kernel level?

Thanks

matthias

This is only to close this thread: Today morning I installed CURRENT
into /dev/ad2s1a (without problems) and I've found no way to re-use the
other old (RELENG_7) partition in the 2nd SSD /dev/ad3; I had to wipe
it out to make fdisk happy:

# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ad3 count=2
# fdisk -I /dev/ad3
# newfs -m 0 -o space /dev/ad3s1a
# echo "/dev/ad3s1a  /usr/local  ufs  rw,noatime  1  1" >> /etc/fstab
# mount /usr/local

When I will update the EeePC from USB key (/dev/da0s1a) to CURRENT I
will install into /dev/ad2s1a (with make installworld/installkernel ...)
and I want to keep the partition /dev/ad3s1a as it is; would it be
enough to just do:

# bsdlabel -w ad3s1 auto

from CURRENT booted?

doing 'make installworld / installkernel' a second time?

2009-03-27 Thread Matthias Apitz

Hello,

I've created a bootable USB key with -CURRENT like this:

# mkdir -p /usr/src/CURRENT/obj
# cd /usr/src/CURRENT
# setenv CVSROOT :pserver:anon...@anoncvs.fr.freebsd.org:/home/ncvs
# cvs login  
# cvs checkout src
# cd /usr/src/CURRENT/src
# setenv MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX /usr/src/CURRENT/obj
# make buildworld
# make buildkernel KERNCONF=GENERIC

(USB key inserted as /dev/da0)

# fdisk -I da0
# fdisk -B da0
# bsdlabel -w da0s1 auto
# bsdlabel -B da0s1
# newfs /dev/da0s1a
# mount /dev/da0s1a /mnt
# make installworld  DESTDIR=/mnt
# make installkernel DESTDIR=/mnt KERNCONF=GENERIC INSTALL_NODEBUG=t
# make distrib-dirs  DESTDIR=/mnt
# make distribution  DESTDIR=/mnt
# echo /dev/da0s1a / ufs rw 1 1 > /mnt/etc/fstab
# cat < /mnt/etc/rc.conf
wlans_ath0="wlan0"
ifconfig_wlan0="WPA DHCP"
hostname=tinyCurrent
sshd_enable="YES"
EOF-EOF-EOF
# cp /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf /mnt/etc
# umount /mnt

the resulting USB key boots fine;

what I'm unsure about is: can I copy /usr/src/CURRENT onto the key with

# cp -rp /usr/src/CURRENT /mnt

and when it is booted (in my EeePC) can I do there the installation to the
SSD again with

# newfs -m 0 -o space /dev/ad2s1a
# mount /dev/ad2s1a /mnt
# setenv MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX /CURRENT/obj
# cd /CURRENT/src
# make installworld  DESTDIR=/mnt
# make installkernel DESTDIR=/mnt KERNCONF=GENERIC INSTALL_NODEBUG=t
# make distrib-dirs  DESTDIR=/mnt
# make distribution  DESTDIR=/mnt

or is /CURRENT/src and /CURRENT/obj not enough for the 2nd installation,
for example because the 1st 'make installworld' has removed stuff below
/usr/src/CURRENT/obj?

Thx

Hello,

I'm going frequently to a Greek restaurant in my town to have dinner

the owner of the restaurant has a Wifi zone and gave me, as its best
client, the WEP-key to connect to Internet; the problem is that he does
not have the admin password of the AP (some else configured it) and so I
can't have a look into the config of the AP;

my /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf for the AP is:

# Restaurante Odyssey (2007-11-18)
#
network={
ssid="ConnectionPoint"
scan_ssid=0
key_mgmt=NONE
wep_tx_keyidx=0
wep_key0=xx
}

and the interface associates fine:

# ifconfig ath0
ath0: flags=8843 metric 0 mtu 1500
ether 00:15:af:b2:ae:e6
inet 0.0.0.0 netmask 0xff00 broadcast 255.255.255.255

bmiss 7 scanvalid 60 protmode CTS burst roaming MANUAL

but a DHCP request does not give me any IP addr; with 

# tcpdump -n -i ath0 

it says:

19:01:01.603869 IP 0.0.0.0.68 > 255.255.255.255.67: BOOTP/DHCP, Request from

this situation is already for monthes and I gave up and always use UMTS
if I want connect to Internet; until yesterday I was thinking in some
kind of MAC addr filter in the AP, but 

yesterday I was there with a friend who has a Nokia mobile E51 device; I
gave him the key, he associated like me and got in the next second IP,
DNS and all was fine;

what is that for a problem? it is not ath0 related because my other
laptop with iwi0 does not get IP either;

what can I provide as information to nail this down?

Thx

Which version of Ekiga you are using? In the past I've send patches to
the Ekiga maintainer to make /dev/dsp working. I don't know if they made
it, for example, into the version the 7.0 port is using.

fine too; you will not see /dev/dsp* with ls(1), just open the device
/dev/dsp with some application and it will appear;

what you mean exactly with 'i have no working sound support'?
try changing the values with the mixer(1) command if no sound is coming
out from apps;

7.0R && amd does not unmount USB-based UFS

2008-10-30 Thread Matthias Apitz

Hello,

I'm using the amd to mount CDFS and MSDOSFS on USB without any kind of
problems for years; now I formated a new USB key with UFS, added the
config in amd's map and encounter that it does not unmount the file
system after the configured time of 20 secs:

any idea? thanks in advance;

matthias

details:

# cat /etc/amdmaps/amd.ufs

entering the dir /f/ufs mounts the FS:

here another example of entering /a/cdrom which gets unmounted after 20
secs:

/cdrom
Oct 30 12:55:20 rebelion amd[23328]/info:  /dev/acd0 unmounted fstype cdfs from

the UFS stays mounted forever:

$ mount
/dev/ad4s1a on / (ufs, local)
devfs on /dev (devfs, local)
/dev/ad4s1e on /tmp (ufs, local, soft-updates)

a umount by hand helps:

# umount /mnt/ufs
# mount
/dev/ad4s1a on / (ufs, local)
devfs on /dev (devfs, local)
/dev/ad4s1e on /tmp (ufs, local, soft-updates)

I'm doing nothing by my own with WPA; the wpa_supplicant is launched at
boot time via /etc/rc.conf entry as:

ifconfig_iwi0="WPA"

i.e. in the moment when I launch the X11+KDE with 'startx' is
already running, iwi0 is associated with the AP and IP/routing is up in
the interface (I've checked this always with 'ifconfig iwi0');
the difference between my home and the office is WEP (at home where I
don't face that problem) and WPA in the office;

yesterday and today morning KDE booted fine without causing this panic;

could the reason be some inconsistency in the file system? but in this
case as well I don't know where this could come from; I have always
clean shutdowns before moving from my home to the office:

panic's on KDE-launches (but only in WPA Wifi area) / kern/122331

2008-09-15 Thread Matthias Apitz

Hello,

I'm booting my laptop 3 times a day: in the morning at home (WEP area),
when I arrive in my office (WPA area) and in the evening at home
(again);

the sequence is always the same: booting, login into console, startx
which launches via ~/.xinitrc the KDE;

in about 1 of 2-3 cases and only in the office(!) the system panics when
KDE comes up, at the end of the KDE booting and the jingle already
played; today it crashed again and again and after switching off the
Wifi radio on the laptop it came finally up fine;

I did this (Wifi off) because I'm assuming somehow a relation with
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=122331
where my laptop as well only panic'ed in WPA mode (i.e. in the office)
and with 'bgscan' active; which I now have deactivated;

all these panics look in the debugger more or less like this one:

Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode

Previous frame inner to this frame (corrupt stack?)
(kgdb) 

the 'current process' (kdeinit in the above crash) changes, but is
always one of the KDE parts; of course the problem is not KDE related,
it is just that the system comes under heavy usage in that moment;

I already run 'memtest 128' for some hours without any noted problem in
memory; test are just passing fine;

the same problem is with 7.0-RELEASE as with RELENG_7;

what can I do to nail this down? it sucks somehow seeing it crashing on
startup in the morning in the office :-((

thx

In my case wpa_supplicant always was running; it is launched by
/etc/rc.conf as:

ifconfig_iwi0="WPA"

at home where I have this problem the association is WEP based;
>From time to time my AP seems to get stuck and in this case
wpa_supplicant seems picking up the wrong foreign AP; it triggers even
on LINK_UP via the devd(8) my script which I have to assign IP or do
DHCP according the AP-location, which of course does not know this
foreign AP and does nothing, but I see it in the log:

Wed Sep 3 07:07:49 CEST 2008: /usr/local/etc/devd/iwi.sh iwi0 LINK_UP
AP [00:19:cb:86:b3:84] not known in /usr/local/etc/devd/iwi.sh

I will try to collect a debug-log of wpa_supplicant for such a situation;

Thx for the idea, but I don't have any wildcard entry; I've checked the
conf file and also wpa_cli says:

and:

# fgrep ssid=\" /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf 
ssid="santaclara"

WPA && associating with unknown SSID

2008-09-03 Thread Matthias Apitz

Hello,

I'm using WPA to connect to my various Wifi AP's (office, home, partner
locations) and have them well configured in the wpa_supplicant.conf(5)
file;

from time to time at home I encounter that it is associating with an
unknown AP of my neighbourhood:


# ifconfig iwi0

the network with SSID 'o2DSL_kJaR' is not im my
/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf;

how this is possible and how can I prevent this?

The problem is that this was a USB stick of a friend of me in which I
have created a booting FreeBSD so he can make the installation of it in
an eeePC; will try to get back this USB stick from him for further

USB key && kernel: da0: Attempt to query device size failed: UNIT ATTENTION, Medium not present

2008-08-06 Thread Matthias Apitz

Hello,

I've updated usb/80361, see
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=80361
because I have the same problem as well that an USB key attaches fine
when plugged in at boot time, but not later:

what makes me worry is that the problem was raised in 5.4-RC3 in 2005
and still exists in 7.0R in 2008, or have I overlooked some cool system
parameter to fix this;

merging into DVD+RW with growisofs && non aligned DMA transfer (7.0R)

2008-07-13 Thread Matthias Apitz

Hello,

I wanted to add a file to an already written DVD+RW (written a day
before on the same system) with

# growisofs  -M /dev/cd0 -r -T -J -joliet-long -v directory

This produced tons of error messages via syslog as

Jul 11 13:45:30 rebelion kernel: ata0: FAILURE - non aligned DMA
transfer attempted
Jul 11 13:45:30 rebelion kernel: acd0: setting up DMA failed

and the only way to get the system back to a usable state was rebooting
it;

I've reloaded the files from the DVD to the file system, added the file
I wanted get merged and wrote the DVD again with -Z which worked fine;

this is with FreeBSD-7.0R; what is wrong with -M or what I've done wrong?

thx

matthias

I've created the USB key like this (more or less) and did not specified
or changed anything in the boot-sequence:

# bsdlabel -wB /dev/da0s1

error 1 lba 752976 while booting from USB key to install

2008-07-10 Thread Matthias Apitz

Hello,

I've some server (a 2 years old HP NAT 1000s storage system) and
I want to drop the installed W2k system and re-install it with
FreeBSD 7.0R and later use it as a central backup-system with
Bacula.

The problem is that this server has no CD or DVD device, but can
(theoretically) boot from external USB CD/DVD (which I don't have
either);

so I cam up with the idea to boot from that USB key I have used to
install 7.0-REL on that eeePC, i.e. the USB key works fine in any
laptop; on the HP NAT 1000s storage system it says:

FreBSD/i386
Default: 0:ad(0,a)/boot/kernel/kernel
boot: error 1 lba 752976 
No /boot/kernel/kernel

Any idea about why it does not work? Thx

matthias

Thanks for the hint, but memfs is not so good because you will loose
/var/db; I've created a symlink now from /var/log to /tmp/log and /tmp
is memfs;

You are right! my file /usr/local/etc/devd/ath.conf for devd(8) says
now:


tify 1 {
match "system"  "ACPI";
action "/usr/local/etc/devd/ath.sh $system $subsystem $notify";
};
notify 1 {
match "system"  "IFNET";
match "subsystem"   "ath0";
match "type""LINK_UP";
action "/usr/local/etc/devd/ath.sh $system $subsystem $type";
};
notify 1 {
match "system"  "IFNET";
match "subsystem"   "ath0";
match "type""LINK_DOWN";
action "/usr/local/etc/devd/ath.sh $system $subsystem $type";
};

note that in the case of "IFNET" you have to watch the $type to see
LINK_UP or LINK_DOWN as the events, while in "ACPI" you have to watch the
$notify ($type gives you _SB_.ATKD, $notify gives you 0x10 or 0x11);

thanks for the answer which let me look closer into the man page of
devd.conf;

I have modified /usr/src/sys/dev/acpi_support/acpi_asus.c to see what
'notify' is send upstream to devd(8):

/* Notify devd(8) */
device_printf(sc->dev,
"Fn+F2 pressed, notify to devd(8) is %08x\n", notify);
acpi_UserNotify("ASUS-Eee", h, notify);

and it turns out that in case of switching wireless of it is 0x0011,
while on switch-on it is 0x0010; but the devd(8) only sees both
events as '_SB_.ATKD'; I've grep'ed a lot around but can't see the place
where the hex events of acpi_UserNotify() are converted into the string
'_SB_.ATKD', any idea where to look;

for the devd(8) hook it would be essential to know if the wireless was
turned on of off, to load or unload the driver module if_ath.ko in that
case and bring the interface up again (which works fine if I do it by
hand);

When I said HEAD, I mean HEAD in terms of CVS; and my situation is the
same: I want to check some problem with ath / hal on my eeePC 900, if it
is also in HEAD or only in RELENG_7 branch;

Hello Rui,

With your changes of acpi_asus.c in RELENG_7 the devd(8) and my
hook-script in /usr/local/etc/devd/ath.conf sees the Fn+F2 now as the
event "ACPI ASUS-Eee _SB_.ATKD", but it is anyway if Fn+F2 switches off
or on the wireless NIC, the event for devd(8) is always the same;
from the above event it is clear where
the strings for system ACPI and subsystem ASUS-Eee come from, but I
don't see where the string "_SB_.ATKD" is made; it must be derived
from the 'notify' argument of the call

/* Notify devd(8) */
acpi_UserNotify("ASUS-Eee", h, notify);

and I was hoping to distinguish it into two different events, one when
Fn+F2 is switching off the NIC, and one of the case of switch on; any
idea? thx

kernel HEAD && userland 7.0-REL?

2008-07-04 Thread Matthias Apitz

Hello,

I'm running a RELENG_7 kernel and a userland as 7.0-REL on one of my
laptops; I've been asked to check if a given driver problem in RELENG_7 is as
well with HEAD... can I update the kernel to HEAD and let the userland
(and all my compiled ports) as 7.0-REL; I know that this is not the
intention, but it would cost me a lot of work if I should compile as
well ~200 ports

thx

Rui,
Have you commited your changes to RELENG_7 too or only to HEAD? I'm
asking because Fn+F2 does toggle the power of the wireless NIC but
devd(8) does not see any ACPI event in this case; it sees it for example
if the battery comes full;

thx for clarifying this

could you please send me the /etc/devd.conf file you mention in the page
http://wiki.freebsd.org/AsusEee ? in the one which came out of CVS with
RELENG_7 I could not see anything about hotkeys; thx in advance

Hola Rui,

I've found your very usefull pages in http://wiki.freebsd.org/AsusEee

I CVS'uped the kernel to RELENG_7, built it and moved it to the eeePC;
now Fn+F2 works as it should and I can even kldunload if_ath, power-off
and power-on the wireless card, and after kldload if_ath the interface
comes up fine again and my devd(8) hook assigns IP again; now it works as
it should; will have a look into the events seen by devd(8) to make the
kldunload and kldload perhaps there;

thanks for your work and help;

matthias

Hello Rui,

I recompiled the kernel to have if_ath out of the kernel, but as a
loaded module at boot:

$ kldstat
Id Refs AddressSize Name
 1   14 0xc040 8c7098   kernel
 21 0xc0cc8000 1242cif_ath.ko
 33 0xc0cdb000 46324ath_hal.ko
 42 0xc0d22000 4218 ath_rate.ko
 51 0xc0d27000 14324snd_hda.ko
 62 0xc0d3c000 4a5acsound.ko
 71 0xc0d87000 6a32cacpi.ko
 81 0xc4394000 22000linux.ko

I can unload if_ath, ath_hal and ath_rate which drops the interface
ath0, but even in this case Fn+F2 has no affect at all; any idea?

I've had a look into the Xandros Linux and they do it with ACPI events,
dropping the modules and others; I could provide their script
/etc/acpi/wlan.sh if someone wants to have a look into;

Thx

eeePC 900 && turning off wireless (ath0)

2008-06-26 Thread Matthias Apitz

Hello,

Yesterday I did some tests with my eeePC 900 to see how long it would
work with the 4400 mAh battery ... it seems that turning of the wireless
card (ath0), which can be turned of from the BIOS, has big effect and
let work the eeePC for more then 2hours 15minutes;

in the Xandros Linux you can turn off the NIC as well with Fn+F2 which
in FreeBSD does not work at boot stage, i.e. when you may defer the
booting in the boot loader countdown;

is there any way to switch this off without going into the BIOS?

thx in advance

eeePC 900 with SSD && reducing writes

2008-06-24 Thread Matthias Apitz

Hello,

I have installed FreeBSD 7.0R on that eeePC 900 and because of the
limited life time of the SSD (see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wear_levelling )
I disabled some logging stuff which I don't need on that tiny laptop,
for example:

syslogd_enable="NO"
sendmail_enable="NONE"
cron_enable="NO"
newsyslog_enable="NO"

as well I have:

- not created any swap partition (the box runs fine with 1 GByte RAM)
- mount the file systems with 'noatime'
- put /tmp into memory file system with 128 MByte

any other ideas how to reduces unnecessary often-writes?

I'd also like to get rid of 'lastlog' and 'wtmp' but even if the man
page claims that they will not be created if they don't exist, they
come up again and again;

another candidate of not needed log is
/var/log/Xorg.n.log ...

thx

Thanks, Ed, for this hint; this is also more or less how the recipe is
to make that boot-able USB stick; I've just played around with
/usr/sbin/sysinstall and realised (what I've never used before) that you
can choose as installation source also any point in the file system; so
if I put /packages from disk1 to the USB stick as well I could perhaps
mount it after booting it and run /usr/sbin/sysinstall and point it to
that directory. Will let you know once the beast arrives here.

Thx

moving FreeBSD installation disk1 to an USB stick

2008-06-19 Thread Matthias Apitz

Hello,

I'm preparing the installation of FreeBSD 7.0 on an Asus eeePC which has
no CD/DVD drive for the installation (and I have no external CD driver
with USB):
http://www.laptoppen.nl/product-260-Asus-EEE-PC-900-Zwart.html

My idea is to 'copy' somehow the FreeBSD 7.0 installation disk1 to an
USB stick of 1 GByte; there is some kind of recipe how to put a boot-able
system onto such an USB stick, like;
http://groups.google.com/group/lucky.freebsd.questions/msg/5c759b1c87376b22
but this is not what I want; I want to boot the stick (of course) and
run the 'sysinstall' having the complete disk1 on the stick;

maybe it is an option making only the file system on the stick and the
boot sector and fill in a dump of the file system of disk1, with some
minor changes that after booting it uses the USB as CD device?

any other ideas?

Thx in advance
