Re: ALT key on console25?
On Wed, 15 Dec 2004, John Conover wrote:
Is it possible to make the ALT key work on console25?
The console keyboard is easily mappable. Assuming you have a
normal PC (and not some Sparc or Alpha thing about which I know
nothing), your ALT key should work right out of the box. The
problem, if you have a problem, is that it may not do quiet what
you want.
Now there are two different things that people may mean when
they say they want ALT characters. Some people (and
applications) want ALT- to mean an
eight-bit character, which is simply the 7-bit character
with the 8th bit set. Other people (and applications) want
ALT- to send a string composed of the
escape character followed by the 7-bit character. You
can get either behavior (or if you have a spare key, like
the Windoz key) you can get both.
Another possible problem is with ALT-, which
for the numbered F keys are usually used to switch consoles,
but which can easily be adjust to do the norm ANSI keyboard
thing that you expect with a PC.
First, to get ALT- to send the eight-bit character,
use the emacs keyboard.
To get the -character behavior you must remap the ALT
keys to "meta" (or use a spare key like Windoz as the "meta"
key.
To get the ALT-Fn keys to send the ANSI keys ( -[-w
through -[-{ ) you just have to switch some key definitions
around.
I will now demonstrate how each of these things works:
The keyboard maps reside in /usr/share/syscons/keymaps.
The keymap you want to use is set in /etc/rc.conf with
a line like this:
keymap="us.emacs"
To be effective, this line must be the last of similar lines
in rc.conf. (Essentially, the defaults are in /etc/default -
don't mess with them - and sysinstall and you use /etc/rc.conf
to make changes, and the last changes in this file win.)
Changes made in rc.conf will not be effective until or unless
you reboot. You can use kbdcontrol to change keymaps in your
current session.
Simply changing to the emacs keyboard will get the behavoir of
sending 8-bit characters for ALT-
Here is a part of the us-iso keyboard you probably installed:
# alt
# scan cntrl altalt cntrl lock
# code base shift cntrl shift altshift cntrl shift state
# --
000 nopnopnopnopnopnopnopnop O
001 escescescescescescdebug esc O
002 '1''!'nopnop'1''!'nopnop O
003 '2''@'nulnul'2''@'nulnul O
See, ALT-1 simply sends 1, and ALT-! simply sends !, and that is
not what you want.
Here is the same part of the us-emacs keyboard:
# alt
# scan cntrl altalt cntrl lock
# code base shift cntrl shift altshift cntrl shift state
# --
000 nopnopnopnopnopnopnopnop O
001 escescescescescescescesc O
002 '1''!'nopnop177161nopnop O
003 '2''@'nulnul178192128128 O
Now see, 1 sends 1 which is character code 49, but ALT-1 sends
177, which is 49 + 128 - or in other words 1 with the 8th bit
set. So if that is what you want (and it is probably what you
expect on a PC), just switch to the emacs keyboard).
But if you want ALT- to send -, what you want is called a meta key. One of the best
ways to get a meta key is to map the Windoz keys to meta.
105 meta fkey62 fkey62 fkey62 fkey62 fkey62 fkey62 fkey62 O
106 meta fkey63 fkey63 fkey63 fkey63 fkey63 fkey63 fkey63 O
107 escfkey64 fkey64 fkey64 fkey64 fkey64 fkey64 fkey64 O
This maps the Windoz keys to meta (and makes the Menu key an
extra esc key in case you are too lazy to reach all the way up
there to hit the usual esc key.
If you don't have Windoz keys get a new keyboard - they are
cheap - or remap one or the other of the ALT keys.
056 lalt lalt lalt lalt lalt lalt lalt laltO
093 ralt ralt ralt ralt ralt ralt ralt raltO
You can change whichever of the lalt or ralt keys to meta.
Oh, yeah, make these change with a flat ascii edit, not a word
processor, and probably you should save the distribution
keyboard somewhere (like us.emacs.kbd.dist) before you edit).
You probably do not want to make all the alt keys into meta.
So that gets you 1) ALT- sends 8-bit
character, and 2) META- sends
-.
Finally we come to the function keys known as F1, F2, ... F12.
Again I am assuming an ordinary PC with a more or less PC
compatible keyboard attached.
Here's the pertenant part of the us.emacs keyboard (with a
bunch of stuff skipped so you can easily see the headers):
# alt
# scan cntr

It depends entirely on what you are used to, both are good at what they do, both are easily scriptable, both are well documented, and both are widely used. The only drawback I have found with tcsh is the fact that if you install new software in your $PATH, then you need to type 'rehash' to let tcsh see it. However this being said, I should point out that tcsh is part of the base system on FreeBSD whereas bash is a port and must be installed separately.

Re: How can I make a program keep running even after I logout?
Rae Kim wrote:
Thank you all guys..
I've tried daemon, nohup and Nicolas' csh method
all works fine.
My way isn't a csh way it's just that I use csh as my default shell and
was just stating the fact that with csh background jobs do not die when
you exit, so the "nohup" is optional (but recommend) with csh.
The way I do it is a hybrid of my own method I thought up and Rubens method:
# nohup foobar > foobar.log&
"nohup" is to ingore the SIGUP signal, "foobar" is your command you want to run, ">" is to redirect output from
stdout (the console) to a file, "foobar.log" is the file you're redirecting output to, "&" is to background the job.
example: nohup cvsup -g -L 2 /root/ports-supfile > /root/ports-supfile.log&
---
# tail -f foobar.log
tail displays the end of a file (are log file), the "-f" flag "causes tail to not stop when
end of file is reached, but rather to wait for additional data to be appended to the input",
"foobar.log" this is are log file from are backgrounded job above.
example: tail -f /root/ports-supfile.log
So what tail -f essentially does is bring are background job back to the
foreground by redirecting the output from the command back to stdout. This mean
that if we're on a remote connection and the link die the program will stay
running and we can just login again and start where we left off, or if we get
back home/work/school/where we can still watch whats happening in realtime.
I just had an idea... Is there a way to redirect stdin to a file or redirect
stdin to a file and have are job use this file for stdin? if this is was
possible we could interact with are background job from any remote or local
terminal, this could be a security risk though because anyone could interact
with it?.
So anyways... The beauty of this is that we're using standard unix stuff so you
can do this from any *nix box and from any shell.

Why'd you do it like that, how is it diffrent from this way?:
# nohup foobar > foobar.log &
-
His example redirects both stdout and stderr to foobar.log, while yours
only redirect stdout. (Note that ">&" is a csh-specific operator. The
equivalent for a Bourne-shell derivative would be:
nohup foobar > foobar.log 2>&1 &
I.e. redirecting stdout to foobar.log and then redirecting file
descriptor 2 (stderr) to wherever file descriptor 1 (stdout) goes to
(foobar.log in this case.)
When used with the nohup command I believe the redirection of stderr
is unnecessary since the manpage for nohup(1) says "If standard error is a
terminal, it is directed to the same place as the standard output."

Aha!
Well, it's good that we finally tracked this down. I'm not aware of
anywhere that mentions this caveat and could not find it in a quick
skim of the manpages and handbook, although it may still be there
somewhere. It is certainly part of the UNIX lore that the root shell
should be one that is self-contained in the root filesystem (typically
this means /bin/sh or /bin/csh). The standard thing to do if you want
to use another shell is to use the toor account, which is an alternate
root account that is provided for this kind of thing. This leaves
root available for emergency use (single-user mode), and (it turns
out) for running scripts with 'su' during the early boot phase.
What I recommend is that you open a doc PR requesting that this be
documented somewhere, so that future generations don't run into this
problem as well.

OK, but that's not coming from executing /usr/sbin/ppp since you've
shown us that it's not in fact linked to libintl, as expected (you
could also verify this by executing ppp by hand). Can you show us
your /etc/rc.conf? Perhaps it's not running /usr/sbin/ppp but some
other binary.
Indeed, I tried to "# ldconfig -elf /usr/lib /usr/lib/compat" (so
that ld-elf cannot find libintl), but ppp loaded anyways. Attached
is my kernconf and a few rc scripts.
Eek, I only asked for rc.conf, not all that other junk :)
I'm guessing that the error message is not in fact from loading ppp,
but something else..one candidate would be sshd, which you may have
replaced by a non-system version. Please run ldd /usr/sbin/sshd and
check this.
If not, then change the rc script to run with "#!/bin/sh -x" and take
a closer look at what command is being run that returns the error.
Well, I ran ldd /usr/sbin/sshd, ldd /usr/sbin/*, ldd /usr/bin/*,
ldd /sbin/*, ldd /bin/*; looked through it, grepped for 'intl'
without any instances found. Then I added two echo lines to the
rc.network script:
echo "Starting ppp as \"${ppp_user}\""
echo "JUST BEFORE - ${ppp_command}"
su -m ${ppp_user} -c "exec ${ppp_command}"

Here I almost pressed the "Send" button in my Thunderbird, but
oops. Back to the shell :-)
# man su
<...>A shell is then executed.<...>
Yep, my default shell for root is bash.
# ldd bash
bash:
libncurses.so.5 => /usr/lib/libncurses.so.5 (0x280e)
libintl.so.6 => /usr/local/lib/libintl.so.6 (0x28121000)

libiconv.so.3 => /usr/local/lib/libiconv.so.3 (0x281c3000)
So apparently I have probably changed the default shell from csh
to bash on both machines right after that portupgrade. I changed
back to sh now - and the error is gone.
The only question I have now is how come I've never read about this?
I've read the Handbook and the Complete Freebsd and literally
thousands of other pages concerning FreeBSD management. I have
never seen a warning about changing the default shell for root.
Or am I just too blind?..
Anyways, thank you Kris and Toomas for your kindest response!
Thanx!
Best wishes,
Andrew P.

Hello, Why does this work this way? Thanks, Jo W. Try this... You need to read this and answer the question. It will take about 30 seconds but you just will not believe this!!! At the end of this, you are asked a question. Answer it immediately. Don't stop and think about it. Just say the first thing that pops into your mind. This is a fun "test"... AND kind of spooky at the same time! Give it a try, then e-mail it around (including back to me) and you'll see how many people you know fall into the same percentage as you. Be sure to put in the subject line if you are among the 98% or the 2%. You'll understand what that means after you finish taking the "test". Now... just follow the instructions as quickly as possible. Do not go to the next calculation before you have finished the previous one.. You do not ever need to write or remember the answers, just do it using your mind. You'll be surprised. Start: How much is: 15 + 6 3 + 56 89 + 2 12 + 53 75 + 26 25 + 52 63 + 32 I know! Calculations are hard work, but it's nearly over.. Come on, one more... 123 + 5 NOW QUICK! THINK OF A TOOL AND A COLOR! Scroll further to the bottom... A bit more... You just thought about a red hammer, didn't you? If this is not your answer, you are among 2% of people who have a different, if not abnormal, mind. 98% of those doing this exercise, think of a red hammer. -- Randall D.

Network Problem
Hi Guys, I've been experiencing a strange problem with our FreeBSD web server: FreeBSD www.piyeepress.com 4.8-RELEASE Server version: Apache/1.3.27 (Unix) When accessed via a web browser, it will return pages for a few minutes. Eventually access is super super slow, as if some TCP state table is filling up. I reboot the server and it returns web pages as it should, but only for five or so minutes, when it won't return any more pages, or it returns pages but very slowly. I've tailed the apache log and the page is returned when I see it appear in my web browser. I'll click on a link, wait a minute or so, and if the page does finally appear in the browser, only then do I see the access in the httpd log. Same type of thing with tcpdump. Using rules and a few regular expressions to show just my IP, I don't see anything until the actual webpage comes through on my screen. The output of netstat -ap tcp doesn't show too many open states. I swear that some tcp state table is filling up; otherwise I have no clues. Here's something too: if I use lynx to access the site, and I access the site from another server in the same rack, the page is returned instantly. Here's some more confusion: non-Windows machines seem to do better at getting pages from the server than do Windows machines. Any ideas? Sorry if I have been unclear. This problem has been driving me crazy! Thanks, Chris Kelly +-+ Christopher Kelly Webmaster, Pi Yee Press 4855 W.

Eek, I only asked for rc.conf, not all that other junk :) I'm guessing that the error message is not in fact from loading ppp, but something else..one candidate would be sshd, which you may have replaced by a non-system version. Please run ldd /usr/sbin/sshd and check this. If not, then change the rc script to run with "#!/bin/sh -x" and take a closer look at what command is being run that returns the error.

Gvinum and swap partitions
I recently converted a vinum boot mirror to gvinum on a FreeBSD STABLE box. The mirror was initially setup using the information on Greg Lehey's "The Complete Freebsd" book, resulting in everything being mirrored on my boot drive, including the swap partition. While trying to get up to speed with the whole gvinum/vinum debacle, I recently came across a post suggesting that if one was using a gvinum based swap partition, a particular entry was required in a configuration file. For the life of me, I can't find this specific post again, (I think it was on one of the freebsd mailing lists), and I don't remember either the specific entry, or whether it referred to loader.conf or rc.conf. I know the above is pretty vague, but if anyone can tell me what needs to be set (if anything), other than placing: geom_vinum_load="YES" in /boot/loader.conf, I'd really appreciate it.

OK, but that's not coming from executing /usr/sbin/ppp since you've
shown us that it's not in fact linked to libintl, as expected (you
could also verify this by executing ppp by hand). Can you show us
your /etc/rc.conf? Perhaps it's not running /usr/sbin/ppp but some
other binary.
Indeed, I tried to "# ldconfig -elf /usr/lib /usr/lib/compat" (so
that ld-elf cannot find libintl), but ppp loaded anyways. Attached
is my kernconf and a few rc scripts.

Hi Rae, I asked this very same question back in ("Job Control") back in

not to hangup background jobs when you exit the shell. here is all the
meat from that tread:

Presumably you've also nohup -ed the background job too:-)
anyway have a look at 'screen' to give you virtual terminals that you
drop out of and back into when you want to.
---
yes screen will do that, detach first before logout, then re-attach when
you want o get back to that session. Also no need to background the job,
as screen will just keep the job running after detach anyway..

###This was the one I liked the most Rae###
>From work:
# nohup foobar >& foobar.log &
Back home:
# tail -f foobar.log
Ruben
If all you want to do is inspect the output from your command, then
simply use script(1) to save a transcript of the output. script(1)
comes with the system. Use it like this:
% cd /usr/ports/x11/xorg
% script /tmp/make.out sudo make install
And /tmp/make.out will contain a transcript of everything that appears
on your screen during the course of doing that job.
Cheers,
Matthew
---
Thanks
# nohup foobar >& foobar.log &
^^^
Why'd you do it like that, how is it diffrent from this way?:
# nohup foobar > foobar.log &
---
His example redirects both stdout and stderr to foobar.log, while yours
only redirect stdout. (Note that ">&" is a csh-specific operator. The
equivalent for a Bourne-shell derivative would be:
nohup foobar > foobar.log 2>&1 &
I.e. redirecting stdout to foobar.log and then redirecting file
descriptor 2 (stderr) to wherever file descriptor 1 (stdout) goes to
(foobar.log in this case.)
When used with the nohup command I believe the redirection of stderr
is unnecessary since the manpage for nohup(1) says "If standard error is a
terminal, it is directed to the same place as the standard output."

The problem with this making it play nicely... not more than one device can connect to it with write privileges. For this I would just use NFS and then ssh into that one machine and burn it from there. I would say NFS would be the simpleist solution... samba is workable, but authentication with it is a total PITA as it does not play nicely for using NIS or local authentication... only really supports LDAP and a newer and older samba passwd storage... So if you are running NIS on your lan, NFS is easy the way to go. For LDAP on the lan, I would say it is your personal choice between Samba and NFS. The handbook has a nice chapter on NIS and NFS. For printing, I would suggest reading the chapter in the handbook. It has some nice info on it. I would also suggest apsfilter, since it makes drivers nice to work with. There is also CUPS if you don't want to use the base lpd. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Support for PERC4e/Di and 4e/Si
Greetings, The amr driver man page @ http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=amr&apropos=0&sektion=4&manpath =FreeBSD+4.10-stable&format=html Claims support for PERC4e/Di and Si in 4.10-stable.

Put it in the background. Optionally, you may wish to redirect its output to a file and use tail -f on that file to see how things are progressing: bash-2.05b$ ( cvsup -g -L 2 -h cvsup.example.net > logfile 2>&1 ) & bash-2.05b$ disown %1 bash-2.05b$ exit The example shown above works for GNU bash, hence the prompt.

using two keyboards at the same time
Hello.
I know, the syscons driver does not allow to have
two keyboards attached at the same time.
So my idea was to have a userland application
which polls the keyboard(s) currently _not_
attached to syscons using select(2) or poll(2).
>From reading the source code under /sys/dev/kbd
I thought this should work.
I made this simple test: I attached syscons to
/dev/kbd1 and ran "cat /dev/kbd0".
As expected I saw characters
coming from both keyboards.
Then I wrote a program to do the selecting and switching.
Well, it does not work. Select never returns.
Does anyone have an idea?
May be I just made some stupid mistake.
Thank you.

I think your script utilize hw.acpi.thermalxxx (thermal zone). But I can't find this on my computer 'grep' ing throught sysctl-output. Can anyone help? Try installing the sysutils/xmbmon port, which is an alternative to healthd. You might have to fiddle with your kernel configuration to add smbus support, but for supported chipsets it usually works under GENERIC. It's fairly easy to plug the output from mbmon into something like MRTG to produce nice graphs of CPU temperature over time.

My problem is that I want to build packages for all programs installed from ports collections on my copmpute(this is not workstation and I can't stop it) I have some errors for apache2 mysql41 firebired-devel i can't stop this processes and I haven't other computer with internet connection. I wont to have identikal packages on my home workstaion. Make package-recursive take me some errors. Do known anybody other ways??? For some packages pkg_create works, but it haven't recursive options.
