One also needs to make sure that he actually has a
Realtek soundcard. In M$ Windows, Realtek drivers
are magically compatible with most of AC97 codecs.
That's not true with FreeBSD.

If you fail to set up your sound with the stock drivers
or if you need some advanced features, not present
in the driver, you can visit http://www.opensound.com/
for a free, but closed-source driver.

can't install 5.4, won't recognize SCSI CD Rom

[jacobsanders]

Hi,

Thanks in advance for any help of advice you might have:

I'm having a problem installing FreeBSD with a CD Rom disc.  I have a SCSI CD
Rom player.  It's not possible to configure my system to search for the boot
record from CD Rom.  Instead, I've been trying to start from the installation
floppies, then have FreeBSD use the installation media on the CD Rom for the
rest.  Unfortunately, FreeBSD can't see the installation media because it
doesn't recognize my CD Rom player.

>From what I understand, most of the time, FreeBSD will use it's default drivers
to recognize all hardware on a system.  In my case, the CD Rom isn't being
recognized (although the SCSI hard drive is recognized).

Each time I try to install, I'll get to the "installation menu" after cycling
through the 3 start floppies.  Since FreeBSD can't see the installation media,
my only choice at this point is to "install in Safe Mode".  All other choices
simply result in an automatic reboot.

>From reading about the installation, I gather that there is a way to 
>"configure"
, or "reconfigure" the kernel to use only certain drivers during the initial
boot up.  However, I don't know how to get into that configuration menu. 
Otherwise, I believe I would be able to disable other unneeded drivers which
may be killing the driver that my CD Rom drive needs.

Any advice? or tips on how to get into the Kernel Configuration from Safe Mode?

Also, I'm trying to install on a i386 architecture, AMD 350Mhrtz chip, 128 MB
ram.  According to the hardware specs, my hardware is supported, as is my SCSI
card and software.  Please don't tell me to install using a different method. 
I've already tried others, with no success.  I'd like to solve the CD Rom
issue.

Thanks,
Jake Sanders

I haven't really used 6.x at all, but I'm assuming it's pretty similar 
if not the same as 5.x.


There is great documentation on how to set up a sound card here: 
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/sound-setup.html


What you probably want to do is to load the "snd_driver" metadriver as a 
kernel module to see which driver works with your soundcard:


# kldload snd_driver

Then, to find out which driver it loaded:

# cat /dev/sndstat

You can either leave it as a module and load it at startup as the 
handbook explains, or you can compile that driver into the kernel which 
the soundcard setup chapter also documents well. I always do the latter 
but I'm sure the module would work fine too.


By the way, ALSA is for Linux (Advanced Linux Sound Architecture), so 
those drivers won't work on FreeBSD.

Re: How do you patch a driver?

[Foo Ji-Haw]

Hello Subhro,

Thanks for your help. From the link I have the following files:

ata-mk3m.diff-current.gz (2k)
ata-mk3m.diff-releng5.gz (2k)
ata-mk3m.tar.gz (100k)
ata-mk3n-releng5.tar.gz (113k)
ata-mk3n.diff-releng5.gz (2k)

Which file should I be using? Is 'current' better than 'releng5'? Do I also
need to download a pair of files: ata-mk3m.diff-current.gz with
ata-mk3m.tar.gz?

Sorry, but I am quite confused with kernal patching. Recompiling yes, but
never patched in my life.

Hi, Alan!

This isn't "support", per se --- it's a mailing list.  But, it's the
primary option ;-)

Are you sure Apache is running?  Sorry for what may seem
like a dumb question, but the error message you quote is
exactly what you see, on many browsers, when httpd is not
running.

To check is Apache is running, try:

$ps -aux | grep httpd

You should see multiple lines (Maybe 4, 5, or more) that
show an "httpd" process is listening.

Another way to go about this would be to run `netstat -anf inet`,
and looking for a entry mentioning port 80 and "LISTEN".

If you can verify that Apache is indeed running, then I might
test resolution of the "localhost" name.  But, it's much more
likely that you can resolve "localhost" fine, but Apache isn't
listening on port 80.

HTH,

Kevin Kinsey

USB not working in 6.0-BETA5

[Jared Kuolt]

FreeBSD-6.0 BETA5

My USB does not work, as far as I can tell. When I was installing my USB
mouse (Logitech MX300) did not work, I figured no big deal, so I used a
USB->PS/2 adapter. Later I tried using my iPod, which worked okay in
5.4REL, but I later gave that up. After two other devices, a camera and
a printer that had both worked in 5.4REL, did not work in this release,
I am now assuming USB is not working at all, and yes, all USB devices
are enabled in my kernel.

Here is part of my /var/log/messages showing some of my difficulties:

Can I assume the php4 and php5 modules (for example, pear) won't step on

We have them as mod with two chrooted Apache servers on two different IPs.


Thanks for the reply.


From doing some more research list night, my understanding is that
the php binary is the whole kit and kaboodle, so if I 


- build PHP4 from source and

- configure it to look in a different spot for extensions,

then I should be able to use PHP4 and PHP5 via fastcgi on a per-vhost
basis.

I just won't be able to rely on ports for updates to PHP4.

m


I found a way to do it where I can install both php instances from 
ports. In my case I am using php5-cli (command line interpreter) as well 
as php5-cgi (compiled for fast cgi) both installed from ports. php5-cli 
is installed into the normal directories under /usr/local. php5-cgi is 
installed into an alternate base directory /usr/local/alt.


Basically, you can use the PREFIX environment variable to tell the ports 
system to use an alternate base directory for installation. This works 
with portupgrade as well.


Here are some notes that I took when I was setting this up. Note that 
I'm using portupgrade (hence the reference to 
/usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf)...


== Install PHP5 with fastcgi support ==

In order to have an alternative fastcgi version of php, we need to 
install it to an alternate location.


First this to /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf:
{{{
MAKE_ARGS {
'php5-cgi*' => 'WITH_APACHE2=yes WITH_FASTCGI=yes'
}
}}}

Assuming that we already have php5 for cli and apache installed, we can 
install an alternate fastcgi enabled version like this:


{{{
$ su -
$ mkdir /usr/local/alt
$ export PREFIX=/usr/local/alt
$ script /usr/local/alt/install.log
$ portupgrade -pNi www/php5-cgi
$ exit # (exit script)
$ exit # (exit su)
}}}

There can be a few little problems with this process. Here is the 
preliminary report:


 Modules not loaded 

php5-cgi installed fine into the alternate prefix, but it didn't know 
about any of the extensions (modules) that the main php install had.


To fix this, I pointed the new php5-cgi at the main php instance's 
modules. '''I believe that this will only work if both instances of php5 
are the exact same version'''


Here is what I did:
{{{
$ cd /usr/local/alt/etc
# /usr/local/etc/php is a directory that contains an 'extensions.ini' file.
# The 'extensions.ini' file lists the extensions that should be loaded.
$ ln -s /usr/local/etc/php php
}}}

It looks like phk changed a lot of the internals of devfs around in early
September; the lsof port has likely not kept pace.

Line 153 of devfs.h appears to be "struct sx dm_lock;" -- perhaps pulling in
the proper header to define "struct sx" might make things work again?

totem and vlc don't work after upgrading ports

[Brian John]

Hello,
I just upgraded all of my ports and now I can't watch any movies.  I 
used to just use totem, but once that broke I decided to try vlc, only 
to find that it was broken as well.  Here are the errors that I get:


vlc:
$ vlc
VLC media player 0.8.2 Janus
Bus error

totem:
The Application "totem" has quit unexpectedly.

The odd thing is that gmplayer seems to work ok.  Can someone please 
help me out?

dmesg will show you irqs, but you can also find it using systat's
"vmstat" mode. It'll also allow you to monitor interrupt activity.
It's best used from the console of the machine. I would guess you'd
want to watch for two drivers, sharing an interrupt, and both
incrementing at the same rate. (I've seen that before, and it was
associated with severe performance problems, but unfortunately I do
not recall how it was fixed.)

Yes, it does, but doing a top while extracting the Mozilla Thunderbird v1.0.6
source bz2-file (which provokes the sound and mouse jitter problem to occur)
the interrupt level consistently stays below 2% of CPU. However, at times
during the extraction of the file, bsdtar and bzip2 produces system CPU time
of between 30% and 50%. It's during these system peaks that the mouse and
sound starts being jerky.

Getting any wiser with this explanation? :-)

How can I tell? I doubt this to be the problem, since I experience same
problem on two other machines as well. Only thing they share (except same

3500+).

Did you follow all the instruction that were displayed when linuxpluginwrapper 
was installed. I didn't see any mention of the last one:

$ tail -n 4 /usr/ports/www/linuxpluginwrapper/pkg-message

Now start browser and go to 'about:plugins' and the new plugins

I dont think its a hardware problem because I dont
have these problems with other programs, and it
happens *Every time* i try to start these two
programs. If it was a hardware program it seems it
would be more random than that. The problems also
started *after* i upgraded to the latest packages from
5-stable. Previously they worked fine.

IIRC, there is no screen *package* because it fails to build
correctly in certain conditions (something about a loop). Use the
ports tree instead, as recommended elsewhere in this thread. I can
confirm that the port works just fine.

About SnapShot

[Vahric MUHTARYAN]

Hi Everybody , 
 
Today I try to learn snapshot with FreeBSD 5.4 , perfect it's
working very fest . I wonder something if somebody have knowledge about
snapshot or have a documentation about it I will be happy. 
 
First I don't understand How system can take snapshot quickly I tried it on
new installed freebsd 5.4 and when I gave a command on console snapshot file
created in a second which 256MB , I wonder How fast will be on bigger
partitions. Anybody know How snapshot tecnology is working ? Because it's
creating an single file and it's 256 mb , it's not possible to copy /var
folder to another folder in a second ... 
 
Second Why I can't create snapshot file on different directory , I tried to
linking but it didn't work ! 
 
And anyway Does it possible to back from snapshot file to original portion
... I mean snapshot is creating only one file When I want to backI have to
mount it to system and copy back files Im asking without copying something
and mouting snapshot file can I make a restore ? 
 
Thanks Everybody  

Regards
Vahric

I have no experience with Tor, but if you have several things that 
crash with segfaults it's usually a good indicator that you might 
have some hardware problems.

Strangely enough, the SSH problem seems to only happen

Problems with Tor, SSH packages

[Alistar Erlas]

I have recently fetched the Tor package from 5-stable,
and I have run into some odd problems. Whenever I try
to start Tor, I get the following result: 

tor
Oct 02 21:25:37.550 [notice] Tor v0.1.0.14. This is
experimental software. Do not rely on it for strong
anonymity.
Oct 02 21:25:37.551 [notice] Configuration file
'/usr/local/etc/tor/torrc' not present, using
reasonable defaults.
Oct 02 21:25:37.551 [notice] Initialized libevent
version 1.1a using method kqueue
Segmentation fault

It is unusual for it to segmentation fault like that
and it indicates there is something wrong.

Also, I have seen similar behaviour with SSH, where if
I also get a segmentation fault when I attempt to
start it. 

ssh -l  myaccount localhost
Segmentation fault


I also noticed that there is no screen utility in the
stable packages either. 

Any help with these issues is greatly appreciated,
thank you.

The foomatic driver definitions for hpijs were not in ports when Andrew asked 
about them, they are now. If there is anything further to discuss (and I 
don't think there is), could you guys please take me off the CC'd recipients

Why use pppd from ports?  The native /usr/sbin/ppp is usually more
convenient.  The following config file works with Vodafone 3G/gprs.

the link actually points to http://ipw2100.sourceforge.net/ which has a
download-link for firmware

and from here :
http://kerneltrap.org/node/5414/print
you could try this for your kismet (replacing eth1 with iwi0)

6.0-BETA5, kismet & iwi ...

[M. L.]

Hi list,

I've just upgraded my laptop to 6.0-BETA5, hoping I finally would be 
able to have functional wireless.. things didn't go quite as I expected, 
tho.


My wireless card is an Intel 2200BG, supported on FreeBSD by the iwi 
driver. I had it installed prior to upgrading by downloading from 
http://damien.bergamini.free.fr/ipw/ , but removed it and added device 
iwi to the 6.0 kernel instead. Now it always complains about "iwi0: 
Please load firmware."


So, I went to damien's site again, only to find that the download link 
had been removed, and a reference to ports/net/iwi-firmware was there 
instead. I've tried to install the port, and it says I've already got 
iwi(4) support, and won't let install anything. I'm left with a iwi0 
that has no firmware, an so is worthless. Is the firmware somewhere in 
the base 6.0 system ?


The other problem is kismet. Looking at the (poor) kismet documentation, 
the best I could get from it was that I needed to define radiotap_bsd_x 
as my capture source on kismet.conf. The documentation isn't clear about 
what X is, so I've tried:


- radiotap_bsd_x
- radiotap_bsd_g
- radiotap_fbsd_x
- radiotap_fbsd_g

Either way, it says the capture type is unknown. Then I tried with 
capture type ipw2200, and kismet said it wasn't built.


So.. where is the iwi firmware or where can I download it (pkg_add -r 
iwi-firmware doesn't work btw), and how to make kismet happy about my 
iwi0 card ?


Thanks in advance.

The correct way to do things with pluggable devices is to use the

Well, we have something like that concerning
amd64 motherboards here:

http://www.freebsd.org/platforms/amd64/motherboards.html

The way I get it, FreeBSD developers focus on
the hardware they can lay their hands on. This
way they only require user input in case a bug
has been discovered. Thanks to relatively high
FreeBSD popularity, you can easily find out
whether your hardware is supported, using
yahoo or google.

It's not that simple, but the fact is that you don't
need to worry about fragmentation at all. Just
make sure that your drives have at least 15-20%
free space for maximum performance.

So if I understand you correctly, this means that the disk is
defragmented automatically in the background during idle use, e.g. I do
not have to do anything else to enable it because it is already enabled.

Correct?

pppd: Could not determine remote IP address

[guru]

Hello,

With the helping hand of someone in freebsd-mobile list I've hacked
the 'uftdi' driver to support a PCMCIA card provided by Vodafone
for UMTS. The card works now as it should but the IPCP negotiating
of the pppd 2.3.11 (from ports collection) ends up in:

...
sent [IPCP ConfReq id=0x6 ]
rcvd [IPCP ConfReq id=0x4b]
sent [IPCP ConfAck id=0x4b]
rcvd [IPCP ConfAck id=0x6 ]
Could not determine remote IP address
sent [IPCP TermReq id=0x7 "Could not determine remote IP address"]
rcvd [IPCP TermAck id=0x7]

I picked up another Linux driven notebook to compare it with Linux
(because I've used the same PCMCIA card in Linux for some monthes)
and it turned out that the IPCP negotiating is ending up the
same way but the Linux pppd picks up some guessed remote IP address
and just put this into the ppp0 interface and the things are fine:

rcvd [IPCP ConfReq id=0x4]
sent [IPCP ConfNak id=0x4 ]
rcvd [IPCP ConfNak id=0x4   ]
sent [IPCP ConfReq id=0x5   ]
rcvd [IPCP ConfAck id=0x5   ]
rcvd [IPCP ConfReq id=0x5]
sent [IPCP ConfAck id=0x5]
Could not determine remote IP address: defaulting to 10.64.64.64

local  IP address 10.227.222.211
remote IP address 10.64.64.64

# ifconfig ppp0
ppp0  Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol
  inet addr:10.227.222.211  P-t-P:10.64.64.64  Mask:255.255.255.255
  UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
  RX packets:7 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
  TX packets:8 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
  collisions:0 txqueuelen:3
  RX bytes:100 (100.0 b)  TX bytes:139 (139.0 b)

It seems that this feature does not exist in FreeBSD's pppd or
I'm missing something else?

Thx

Hi,
 I have installed FreeBSD 5.4-release. I want to make it stable by

You know, it depends. Most of my Seagate drives
are almost silent, but Maxtor and Hitachi (IBM) can
easily be heard.

Nevertheless, I don't take chances - and enable
SMART on all hard drives. Smartmontools come in
handy, I always know when it's time to make a
backup and go buy another drive.

Re: Problem upon upgrade ...

[Aleksandar Kacanski]

Thanks for the quick reply.
/dev/console does exists and I believe permissions are:
crw- /dev/console
Don't quote me on this I am working from memory.
After changing permissions for group and all users to rw i
got console back. I will make sure I change securelevel to
-1 and report what might be causing this behavior.
After than that upgrade went fine and system is now stable.

FreeBSD + Firefox + Flash Problems

[Vladimir Tsvetkov]

I did everything like it was described in the how-to's about
installing plugins for native Firefox on FreeBSD. I use FreeBSD 4.9
Release, which at this moment is unsupported.

1. Install firefox:
# cd /usr/ports/www/firefox ; make install clean

2. Install linuxpluginwrapper:
# cd /usr/ports/www/linuxpluginwrapper
# make WITHOUT_PLUGINS=yes install clean

I use WITHOUT_PLUGINS=yes, because I don't need acroread7 - I have
acroread5 and it perfectly fits my needs.
I got the following message:

Please enable libmap.conf(5) feature for rtld(1).
4-stable user:
You can get a following patch.
http://people.FreeBSD.org/~nork/libmap_4stable.diff
   Please apply on /usr/src and make install on /usr/src/libexec/rtld-elf:
   # cd /usr/src ; patch -p0 < /tmp/libmap_4stable.diff
   # cd libexec/rtld-elf ; make clean all install
5.1-RELEASE user:
Please see /usr/src/libexec/rtld-elf/Makefile.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/www/linuxpluginwrapper.

3. Patching:
I've downloaded the patch:
http://people.FreeBSD.org/~nork/libmap_4stable.diff and than I tried
to apply it:
# cd /usr/src ; patch -p0 < /tmp/libmap_4stable.diff

I got the following message:
Hmm...  Looks like a unified diff to me...
The text leading up to this was:
--
|diff -urN libexec/rtld-elf.old/Makefile libexec/rtld-elf/Makefile
|--- libexec/rtld-elf.old/Makefile  Sun Jun 23 06:32:35 2002
|+++ libexec/rtld-elf/Makefile  Wed Oct  8 02:50:10 2003
--
File to patch:

Obviously, I don't have /usr/src/libexec sources installed.

4. Install the libexec sources:
I put the FreeBSD 4.9 Release installation CD in the CD-ROM.
# /stand/sysinstall
Configure->Distributions->src->libexec

5. Patch again:
# cd /usr/src ; patch -p0 < /tmp/libmap_4stable.diff
# cd libexec/rtld-elf ; make clean all install

This now works.

6. Another try to install linuxpluginwrapper:
# cd /usr/ports/www/linuxpluginwrapper
# make WITHOUT_PLUGINS=yes install clean

No problems at all.

7. Install linux-flashplugin6:
# cd /usr/ports/www/linux-flashplugin6
# make install clean

No problems at all.

8. Editing /etc/libmap.conf:
# /etc/libmap.conf for FreeBSD 4.x

# Flash6 with Mozilla Firefox
[/usr/X11R6/lib/linux-flashplugin6/libflashplayer.so]
libpthread.so.0 pluginwrapper/flash6.so
libdl.so.2  pluginwrapper/flash6.so
libz.so.1   libz.so.2
libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3libstdc++.so.3
libm.so.6   libm.so.2
libc.so.6   pluginwrapper/flash6.so

# Acrobat5 with Mozilla Firefox
[/usr/X11R6/Acrobat5/Browsers/intellinux/nppdf.so]
libc.so.6   pluginwrapper/acrobat.so

# Helix RealPlayer with Mozilla Firefox
[/usr/X11R6/lib/linux-mozilla/plugins/nphelix.so]
libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3libstdc++.so.3
libc.so.6   pluginwrapper/realplayer.so

I've checked every single Shared Object that is listed in my /etc/libmap.conf.

But there are no indications at all, that Firefox is using the
installed plugins. Still Firefox continues to inform me about missing
plugins.
I tried also, to configure Konqueror (3.1.4) to use the new plugins:
Settings->Configure Konqueror..->Plugins->Scan for new plugins
And I got the following error message:

"The nspluginscan executable cannot be found. Netscape plugins will
not be scanned."

I searched the web for this problem and I found this on the
freebsd-questions maillist:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2004-July/053298.html

>You have to compile /usr/ports/x11/kdebase3 with motif support. Run
>'make config' to change that option, then recompile and install it.

I tried this, but the message above is outdated (Thu Jul 22 02:13:13
PDT 2004). Currently in the configuration of the kdebase3 port there
is only one option:

[X] Suid wrapper for aRts, req'd for realtime prio

I am aware that the version of FreeBSD that I use is no longer
supported, but is there any way to workaround the necessity of moving
to 4Stable, and to get a working plugins for the Firefox browser?

I have both Windows and FreeBSD boxes, and I can honestly say that I do
not hear the hdd scratching (I certainly hope it is not scratching). It
sounds to me like you have a serious problem with your HD. Perhaps it is
time to trade it in for a newer model.

Second, why would I want to add this line to my /etc/rc.conf file:

fsck_y_enable="YES"

I thought the OS handled the file checking process automatically.

Of course there is fragmentation.

UFS, particularly its implementation in FreeBSD is
more intelligent than NTFS/FAT32. When there is
enough free space on the disk (typically more than
15%, see tunefs(8) for details), I/O is automatically
optimized to minimize fragmentation.

When your win32 box is idle, but the hdd is scratching
it's very annoying, because you know that windows
is swapping something.

When your bsd box is idle, but the hdd is scratching
it's quite pleasant, 'cuz that's some hard-working
daemons make sure that you don't loose any data,
and always can enjoy the maximum performance.

There is no fragmentation in the BSD file systems, that is something related

fsck_y_enable="YES"

to your /etc/rc.conf  in the event fsck finds errors on your disks.

Defragmentation needed with FreeBSD ...

[Kiffin Gish]

I was just wondering if like in Windows disk fragmentation arises, and
if so then how should one go about defragmenting it?

Up untill i installed the flash plugin my broswer was running completly 
stable, it has only since the installation of flash become unstable, which 
unf seems to be the case since i been trying to use flash since i ran FreeBSD 
4.9-STABLE and as yet not been able to get a plugin that dosent cause my 
browser to become unstable.

You should cvsup to the latest RELENG_5 (assuming you were tracking
it).  Then after the next buildworld/installworld this problem will
go away.  OTOH, it doesn't do any harm and you can safely ignore it.

Either fix the port (one line), or create the said directory manually

I don't have any problem with these 2 sites. Maybe
it's your Java plugin that messes things up. Try
disabling it for a while (just comment out lines
in the java section in libmap.conf). I think 1.5.0
can still be very unstable.

As for running under root, I didn't mean in the
root login environment. Just startx as a user
then open xterm, type "su" (not "su -" or
"su - root"), enter pass and try firefox.

Why do you have both GEOM_MIRROR and GEOM_VINUM loaded? They cannot share

Basically any website that has flash. It may work in the beggining, but when a 
refresh or move to another page that also has flash and it often simply force 
closes itself.

BTW, to do the same thing in FreeBSD you
type:

# portinstall cups -m 'WITH_CUPS=yes' hpijs

ghostscript and all other dependencies are
installed automatically. The -m switch tells
hpijs to support cups, but if you omit it the
port tells you about it.
