Question about Installation --

2004-10-05 Thread Vincent M. DeFabis
Hello,
 
I'm not sure if this is going to the right place, but hopefully you can
help.
 
I am a new user and I want to set up FreeBSD on a server. I'm just
testing it on a server with a Pentium 233, 128MB RAM. The boot loader
finds all of my devices, but when it gets to cpu(0) on motherboard,
the system just hangs. I cannot get to any installation options, or even
to a command prompt. I have searched through the website, but I am
unable to find anything that might help me. I have tried turning off
Plug-N-Play OS in my CMOS settings, but that was also unsuccessful.
 
Anywhere I can be directed for help would be great!
 
 
Thank you,
 
 
Vincent DeFabis

Wouldn't a vpn connection work?  Then use ssh across the vpn.

Of course, that assumes authorization on the university network.

Bittorrent is a type of p2p protocol: http://bittorrent.com/introduction.html 
Bittorrent would take the pressure off the servers as those who use it would 
effectively be getting the isos from those that already have them on their

congestion.  It's in ports. I use: /usr/ports/net/py-bittornado

Once I move to 5.3 I could seed it and we can see whether it is picked up. I 
don't think there is any real reason to seed 5.2.1.
 

If it offers the kind of performance edonkey offers, I won't use it.
Unless the server were in real trouble when a new release comes out.
But then again, there are lots of mirrors.
Where I live (Germany), I usually get 180 kb./sec and more from a local 
mirror.

That doesn't mean it's a bad idea. P2P could be a very powerful tool for
distributing free software, documentation, patches...
On the other hand security comes to mind. But wait, you can still get your
checksums from the server. But for anything you get from a source as 
trustworthy
as a P2P network, you *want* to use checksums. =)

Floppy drive is going nuts

2004-10-05 Thread Daniela
Recently, my floppy drive isn't working properly. The kernel often panics on 
unmount of a UFS floppy, and sometimes also while reading or writing an 
ordinary DOS-formatted floppy. Very often, the data is corrupted, but when 
formatting the floppy, it shows no errors. And once I tried to write a file 
(which is just a little bit over 1440k in size) to a 1720k formatted floppy 
(worked properly in the past), and the result was a complete system lockup.
I had to do a hard reset to bring it back. This is reproducable.

I'm running 4.10-STABLE. How can I tell whether this is a software bug or 
flaky hardware?

Regards,
Daniela

 Since he's home machine is behind a NAT at what would knowing its
 (private) ip serve?

Look into 'man ssh' and check the '-R' option. I suggest a script be
written to run an 'ssh -R' login from the home box to the office box,
setting up the tunnel for reverse use. You (or !!_CAUTION_!! anyone else
logged into either box) can use the tunnel for whatever connects to it.

I suggest you connnect back to your home system's 'sshd' port and then you
will have to satisfy the home box's login authorization to get access
there (at the price of two levels of ssl wrappers, I suppose). The
designated remote port effectively becomes an extension of your local
'sshd' connection port on the office machine. Set the remote machine up
for RSA login from your home machine so you won't have to send the
password from your script.

Make sure the incoming port can get through your home firewall and the
apartment complex's router - that shouldn't be too stringent, as [I
_think_] it will look like 'reply' traffic to both of those filters,
rather than incoming requests. The firewall on your office system will see
them as incoming ssh requests, which I assume you now accept.

DISCLAIMER: I have a static IP at home, and have only done this the other
direction: exporting VNC $DISPLAY sessions from home to the outside world
as pseudo-X11 logins onto the home box. The tunnel is setup by my ssh
login from outside. (I know, I know -- a bit ugly, but it's easy to set
up.) For simplicity I scripted the login as:

sshTunnel:
=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=
#!/bin/sh
echo Connecting port :local_port to $1:remote_port
ssh -C -g -L local_port:$1:remote_port $1
=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=

You would be using '-R' instead of '-L' of course, and using appropriate 
port definitions.

I invoke my script as:
 $ sshTunnel remote_host

The life of the tunnel should the same as the life of that scripted ssh
login, which may influence what exactly you script.

Whatever I send to local_port is wrapped, sent, unwrapped, and passed to
remote_host:remote_port, and vice-versa.

REFINEMENTS:
 (1) In view of the !!_CAUTION_!! note above, you may want to create a
pair of low-privilege users on the two machines and have the script
connect _them_. The script should run with the home dummy-user's uid. This
should help limit the damage potential from an intruder. (I would call
this: 'making a virtue of necessity'.) You then ssh-connect _locally_ on
the office machine to 'ride' the tunnel back to your home machine as
yourself.
 (2)I bet someone who really understands tunneling could make this work
with only one layer of ssl wrappers, but I'm not that clever.

 GEOM Gate by Pawel Dawidek. It comes with the system, assuming you're

 Man pages ggatel(8), ggatec(8), ggated(8)
 
 'k, this looks sweet ... are there any better docs for it though?  For 
 instance, if I have two 5.x servers, and want to replicate serverA:/fs1 - 
 serverB:/fs1, from what I can tell, I setup/startup ggated on serverA, and 
 serverB is setup with ggatec to pull that data across ... correct?  Now, 
 how do you get serverB:/fs1 in sync with serverA:/fs1 in the first place? 
 Is there an 'initialize' function that will have ggatec pull everything 
 across?

Hmmm... I think it's still a bit new for really good documentation to
have been produced.  It hasn't yet been included in any released
version of the OS.  I'm not sure it should be trusted on production
servers either.

There's this, which is just a rehash of the mailing list traffic with
a little extra commentary:

http://kerneltrap.org/node/view/3104

Even Pawel's own pages at http://garage.freebsd.pl/ are pretty bare
bones and seem to me to be somewhat out of date too. There is this:

http://garage.freebsd.pl/GEOM_Gate.pdf

Your question about replication: essentially what the GEOM Gate stuff
does is make a remote disk device apear on your system as if it was a
local disk.  I guess that if you want to replicate a file system
between two machines, you could try layering a GEOM mirror
(gmirror(8)) over the two to synchronise the bits, but I've never
tried to do anything like that.  Or you might be able to use vinum,
now that vinum is pretty much geom-ified.  However, I don't think you
could achieve RW access from two different machines.  RW on one, RO on
the other and mirrored on both *might* be possible.

You'ld probably get a better response if you asked on -hackers or
-current

Matthew

How-to capture error messages from ... recent instant-workstation

2004-10-05 Thread dfarmour
Full SubjectLine:
How-to capture error messages from ... recent instant-workstation 
port make install  make clean failure on 5.3Beta6...newish, 
mid-range box. What's next, Ollie?

I'm hoping this is the right place to ask this... BAD case of newbie-
itis.

And there I was thinking: this is working out all right... [enough 
whingiing] Straightforward installation via downloaded/burned 
mini-iso CD...  - ftp ports: all binaries, source, X
- left X for later install

Package selection: cvsup_without_gui-16.h and, using 
/usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile
finished successfully!

Since this was an othewise new box, a recent beta release 
(when I started!?),  perhaps wrongly assuming I didn't need 
to run portupgrade, I went ahead and tried to install the 
instant-workstation _1.0.8 port. 

The machine began clunking away at 00:30 Fri, Oct 1, and was still 
churning away Sun, Oct. 3 when I left for work. I came back from 
work about 5:30 pm to find the Postfix config screen with all those
[  ] SASL
[  ] SASLKRB5 some snippage
[  ] TLS
[  ] DB42
[  ] LDAP
[  ] PgSQL  ...options

As I had with most of the previous port-install config screens, 
I [X]'d as many of the options as I had ever seen/heard in my 
Time of Lurking/reading, pressed RETURN, and looked for-
ward to the imminent conclusion of the port's installation. 

I got an install screen that said I had to choose between the DB 
options offered (4.0/4.2 etc.), but which then dumped me out of 
install process. 

Can someone tell me where to look for how to capture the console 
screens that fly by in the port install process? My scroll-locked look-
back-at shows:  ...paraphrasing 
Building for Postfix-2.1.4.1...
...couple of screens of gobbledygook
...couple of screens of /usr/lib/libkrb5.so. ...
...undefined reference to...
...'length_PA_ENC_TS_ENC'

...'decode_EncTicketPart'
...several Stop in /usr/ports/mail/postfix...
*** Error code 1's

The screens also show that several of the port's components list-
ed in Mr Lehey's Complete FreeBSD  - acroread; bash; fetch-
mail; grip; gimp; gv; ispell; mutt; mozilla; startkde -- installed 
successfully. (Logging in as a non-root user, for example, 
displays a bash prompt.) Maybe I can cd to /snipl/postfix and 
resume installing the postfix port separately? I don't need one of 
the three sub-ports that remain un-installed (mkisofs), since this 
machine doesn't have a burner. I *do* want to install gv and xtset,
I think.

But I'm still unclear on what role(s) postfix plays in the 
instant-workstation port, and/or just how much cleaning/tidying
I will have to do manually.

Any help greatly appreciated, although I should mention that, for 
my next trick, I'm looking to configure X... :c)

Dave

Unable to install evolution with LDAP support

2004-10-05 Thread Dan Finn
I'm trying to get evolution built with ldap support so that I can
connect to the exchange server here at work and see the global address
list.  I have ximian-connector installed and working, this is the
final piece of this puzzle that I need.

with recent cvsup of ports tree

I did:

cd /usr/ports/mail/evolution/
make deinstall
make clean
make WITH_LDAP=yes install

I see no errors, it seems to build it just fine.  OpenLDAP is already
installed by this point by the way, do I need to deinstall OpenLDAP
and let the build of evolution also build OpenLDAP?

I start evolution, click on Tools - Settings - Directory Servers
and I get:
LDAP was not enabled in this build of Evolution.

So what am I doing wrong here.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 I need to get this working to make my boss happy.

 I start evolution, click on Tools - Settings - Directory Servers

 So what am I doing wrong here.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
  I need to get this working to make my boss happy.

LDAP support is compiled into Evolution by default.  Therefore, there
must be something wrong with your OpenLDAP installation.  Look at the
output of make configure under mail/evolution to see if LDAP support is
actually being enabled.  If not, the clues as to why will be in the
config.log inside the evolution ${WRKSRC} directory.

Well, FreeBSD is quite happy handling MS-DOS partitions, so there is no
reason you shouldn't use tar, together with whatever compression you
like. For example, I have backed up vfat partitions simply by mounting
them, changing to the root of them and doing tar cvjf
/odds/system-vfat.tar.bz2 ., /odds being a filesystem with lots of
space, then worked out a way to get that file onto a CD, or using
cdbackup, multiple CDs.
That's it.  Worked like a charm.

I have a BSD box (home) sitting on an apartment complex network

Is there a way to open a ssh/other connection before I leave for work in
the morning (from the home box to the work box), then travel to the
university, sit at my desk and use this connection to get a terminal on
my home machine? Is there any software out there that addresses this?
Ideally it would involve ssh.
   
   You could write a script that sends an email to you every morning
   which contains your IP-address. *Encrypted*, of course!!!
  
  Since he's home machine is behind a NAT at what would knowing its
  (private) ip serve?
 
 Look into 'man ssh' and check the '-R' option. I suggest a script be
 written to run an 'ssh -R' login from the home box to the office box,
 setting up the tunnel for reverse use. You (or !!_CAUTION_!! anyone else
 logged into either box) can use the tunnel for whatever connects to it.
 
 I suggest you connnect back to your home system's 'sshd' port and then you
 will have to satisfy the home box's login authorization to get access
 there (at the price of two levels of ssl wrappers, I suppose). The
 designated remote port effectively becomes an extension of your local
 'sshd' connection port on the office machine. Set the remote machine up
 for RSA login from your home machine so you won't have to send the
 password from your script.
 
 Make sure the incoming port can get through your home firewall and the
 apartment complex's router - that shouldn't be too stringent, as [I
 _think_] it will look like 'reply' traffic to both of those filters,
 rather than incoming requests. The firewall on your office system will see
 them as incoming ssh requests, which I assume you now accept.
 
 DISCLAIMER: I have a static IP at home, and have only done this the other
 direction: exporting VNC $DISPLAY sessions from home to the outside world
 as pseudo-X11 logins onto the home box. The tunnel is setup by my ssh
 login from outside. (I know, I know -- a bit ugly, but it's easy to set
 up.) For simplicity I scripted the login as:
 
 sshTunnel:
 =+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=
 #!/bin/sh
 echo Connecting port :local_port to $1:remote_port
 ssh -C -g -L local_port:$1:remote_port $1

From home, I used:

 ssh -C -g -R :127.0.0.1:22 university-static-ip

Then I made a separate ssh session into the school BSD box and executed
this on the school box:

 ssh -p  127.0.0.1

After supplying credentials I had a terminal back at my apartment. Port
 is filtered to be only available to lo0. Thing of beauty.

Excellent help... Thanks!
~Micah

 =+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=
 
 You would be using '-R' instead of '-L' of course, and using appropriate 
 port definitions.
 
 I invoke my script as:
  $ sshTunnel remote_host
 
 The life of the tunnel should the same as the life of that scripted ssh
 login, which may influence what exactly you script.
 
 Whatever I send to local_port is wrapped, sent, unwrapped, and passed to
 remote_host:remote_port, and vice-versa.
 
 REFINEMENTS:
  (1) In view of the !!_CAUTION_!! note above, you may want to create a
 pair of low-privilege users on the two machines and have the script
 connect _them_. The script should run with the home dummy-user's uid. This
 should help limit the damage potential from an intruder. (I would call
 this: 'making a virtue of necessity'.) You then ssh-connect _locally_ on
 the office machine to 'ride' the tunnel back to your home machine as
 yourself.
  (2)I bet someone who really understands tunneling could make this work
 with only one layer of ssl wrappers, but I'm not that clever.

DooM3 not working on FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE :/

2004-10-05 Thread Hugo Silva
Hi,

I'm running into trouble trying to run the DooM3 beta on FreeBSD.

The screen will stay gray for awhile and then my resolution will be messed
up and the system mouseless (cursor won't move) - I can fix this by
running Return to Castle Wolfenstein which will give back mouse control
and reset resolution.

I've digged a bit into the problem, but it's 4.30 AM and I can't think on
anything else. Here's how the game stops:

game initialized.
--
 Initializing Session 
session initialized
--
Sys_MapCharForKey: doom key 43 - keycode failed
Sys_MapCharForKey: doom key 126 - keycode failed
--- Common Initialization Complete ---
terminal support disabled

Trying to exit gracefully..
- Game Map Shutdown --
--
Shutting down sound hardware
--- OSS Sound Shutdown ---
unmap dma sound buffer
close sound device
--
idRenderSystem::Shutdown()
double fault Aborted, bailing out


So it's obvious it's something to do with threading. This makes me think
the game will only run on the 5.3 version.. which would be a major
drawback for me as I don't plan to install 5.3 on my workstation
(everything is working flawlessly, and the idea of upgrading the OS+nvidia
drivers+all ports is not so nice..)

A ktrace shows this:


36983 doom.x86 RET   write 148/0x94
36983 doom.x86 CALL  #175(0x2,0,0xbfbfdde8,0x8)

36983 doom.x86 RET   #91 0
36983 doom.x86 CALL  exit(0x6)


So I'm pretty much out of ideas to make the game work.. Seems to be
thread-related, dies with an unknown error.

Any ideias ?

Hugo

The companies that make multifunction units are really in
the business to make a quick buck.  The only way they can
do this is to produce the units dirt-cheap then only produce
just enough support so that people don't get pissed at the
units and return them to the store right after purchasing them.
This isn't hard as the
target market for these devices are the small home office 
people who are, in a word, cheapskates, who don't care about
long term ROI.  They just want a cheap $99 multifunction device
and if it breaks in a year they figure they will just landfill
it and get another one on sale.

These devices have terrible support even within Windows.  Lots of
people bought Canon multifunction fax/scanner/printers a couple
years ago then found no Windows XP drivers were forthcoming
when Windows XP was released.  The multifunction devices selling
today aren't going to be supported past Windows 2003 either.

There's lots and lots of retired office equipment out there that
is fantastic, plain paper faxes, laser printers, photocopiers, etc.
Sure you may have to drop $100 on a new toner cartridge and a
fuser when you buy it - but it's going to last a home office's printing
needs another decade at the rate they print paper.

 I ask because when people ask me, all I can relate is what 
 I've experienced, and I can't give them an explanation 
 other than, Multi-function products bite.
 

Cheap office equipment bites, period.  If your going to work at
home, spend the dough for decent gear.  Why turn your home office
into a nightmare of cheap crap?  It always amazes me that people
setting up a home office will buy a $25 chair from Target that
will fall apart in a year and feels like sitting on a board,
when they can go to a used office dealer and get a used commercial
chair that sold for $250 new, for about $50, and won't kill their
lower back.

RE: Vinum Help Needed (was: Mail auth and FreeBSD/Sendmail)

2004-10-05 Thread John Souvestre
Hello.

I apologize for the mistakes and omissions in my original posting.  I've
included additional information in this message.

I'm running Vinum on a Free BSD 4.9 system with 3 hard drives.  It's been
operational for about 5 years.  The first drive is a small one and I boot from
it.  The second and third drive are mirrored, using Vinum, and contain most of
the system's data (1 volume, 1 plex per drive, 1 subdisk per plex).  The
operating system and Vinum are stock, no modifications.  The Vinum config has
not been modified in years.

The system locked up on me this morning.  When I rebooted there was a problem
with the Vinum mirrored drives.  When I did a list from Vinum both subdisks
were stale and both plexes were faulty.

After playing around a while, I didn't know what to do, so I stupidly tried
something which probably made things worse.  I did a start on one of the
plexes.  It took a few minutes and then came up along with the subdisk on it.
But I'm afraid that it seems to be empty.

When I boot now I get a bad super block: magic number wrong error, along
with unexpected soft update inconsistency, /dev/vinum/mirror: cannot figure
out file system partition.

Vinum now lists the drives as up, the volume as up, the plexes as up and
faulty, the subdisks as up and stale.  I would love to post a copy of
the Vinum list but I don't know of any way to copy it from the console to
here.

Unfortunately, the /var/log directory is on the Vinum drive.  So I am unable
to access it.

Bottom line:  I'm guessing that I blew away the first plex.  Is there a way to
tell?  Is there any way to get the second plex up and running, and to restore
the first plex from it?

Thanks,

John

FreeBSD on Dell Inspiron

2004-10-05 Thread Igor Partola

Good time of day. Recently I installed FreeBSD 5.2.1 on my Dell Inspiron 8600. It 
works great, everything except for the winmodem got detected right away. I have 
however a few things I'd like to tweak that I don't seem to be able to do. Namely:
 
1) My touchpad is an ALPS touchpad. When I had Linux running on this machine I had to 
patch the kernel so it would work with a synaptics ALPS driver (within synaptics there 
is a file called alps.patch). FreeBSD recognizes the touchpad as an ALPS glidepoint, 
but the sensetivity is terrible! I use moused and X11 uses /dev/sysmouse, so I tried 
to tweak with moused options. I managed to speed up the pointer but it gets really 
hard to point precisely. (In Windows where I can use the native driver from Apoint it 
is a lot smoother). Any solutions?
 
2) The ACPI partially works: S1 is supported but it'd be nice to turn off the screen 
with it. By the way if I disable ACPI (acpiconf -d), closing the lid turns off the 
screen. Is there a config file or something I could edit?
 
3) S3 sleep state reboots the computer. Has anybody gotten it working? Is there an 
expected fix of it?
 
I would appreciate all help.
 
Thanks and respect,

I'm running FreeBSD 4.10-STABLE on a P166 and trying to copy very
large (but under 4 gig) files from FreeBSD to a Windows 98 (Second
Edition) P866 machine.  Neither machine has much other load.  (The
FreeBSD version probably doesn't matter; I've seen this on many 4.x
revisions in the same hardware configuration.  My network is 100BaseTX
Ethernet and uses a hub, though during this test there are no machines
on the LAN other than these two.  I only see a few packet collisions
per minute on the dc0 interface of the FreeBSD machine, which is the
interface on this LAN and which produces the following info at boot
time:

dc0: ADMtek AN985 10/100BaseTX port 0xfc00-0xfcff mem 0xffbefc00-0xffbe irq 10 
at device 20.0 on pci0
miibus0: MII bus on dc0
ukphy0: Generic IEEE 802.3u media interface on miibus0
ukphy0:  10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, auto

Anomaly:  Contrary to Sharity-Light docs, which say smbfs is faster,
A Win98 share as just described accepts data about three times faster
if mounted via shlight than if mounted via smbfs.  I'm wondering if
anyone knows why.  (For comparison, I believe ftp moves about two
times even faster than shlight.)

Please Cc me directly.

Thanks very much for any input.

Re: Rebuilding world

2004-10-05 Thread Andrew Moran
Your installworld error is saying that it can't install without the new  
proxy user being added.the proxy user is added during the  
mergemaster -p.. So because your mergemaster -p is failing, your  
installworld is failing.  Fix the mergemaster problem, and your  
installworld problem should go away.

So what kind of error is your 'mergemaster -p' giving you?

OK, so I'm trying to follow the instructions in the handbook:

mergemaster -p seems to fail with some variable errors, and make
installworld fails with the error:
