Re: output of top command question

[Gobbledegeek]

Thanks. From the article I conclude that Active pages are:
Pages with page-used bit set
Inactive and cached refers to the different page queues.
But I could not correlate "wired" with anything. Any Tips?

Printing from Solaris to FreeBSD via Cups

[P.U.Kruppa]

Hi!

I would like to print from a Solaris 10 workstation 
(192.168.10.3) to my FreeBSD server (192.168.10.1). My idea
was to use Cups and ipp protocol on both 
machines since I have already got Cups up and running on my 
FreeBSD machine.


Cups on Solaris seems to be up to (I can access 
http://localhost:631) but whatever printer configuration I try to 
set, I keep receiving
	Send Error: 7 code=403 (Forbidden) 
when I try to print the test page.


Perhaps I don't use the correct ipp URI ?
Perhaps my cupsd.conf is missing something?
Do I need to set some kind of authentication from Solaris to 
FreeBSD?


Error logs don't show anything but a message about sending the 
above error.


Thanks for your help or links to some howto's ,

Uli.


Here come two of my configs:

/etc/printcap   -

# This file was automatically generated by cupsd(8) from the
# /usr/local/etc/cups/printers.conf file.  All changes to this file
# will be lost.

In a bit of a bind - DNS problems and ipfw

[Aaron Siegel]

Hello

I am having problems with my FreeBSD 5.4 gateway/firewall. When I enable a 
custom  firewall (ipfw) or the "Simple" firewall through rc.firewall my 
clients are unable to resolve DNS when DNS does work with the  "Open" ruleset 
that is provide by rc.firewall.  I create the custom firewall couple years 
ago and they work fine under 4.11 but after the upgrade I have not been able 
to get them to work. 

I sure I am doing something stupid but I am not smart enough to solve it at 
the moment. 

Thank you 
Aaron Siegel

Custom firewall rules
#Allow DNS 
$cmd 019 allow tcp from any to any 53 out via $pif
$cmd 018 allow udp from any to any 53 out via $pif

"script" will do exactly that. It'll capture stderr, too.

It may be that the programs you're using are sending to stderr as
Malcolm suggests. It may also be because some programs handle stdout
to a terminal differently than stdout to a file or a pipe.

Could be that the output you're looking at is not stdout but 
stderr.

If you using csh (or tcsh) shell then try:
% blah |& tee it

copying standard input to standard output

Hi there,

I am wanting to copy standard output to a file.

I know that 'tee' will do this fine.  

blah | tee it

but I am find that on some occasions processes will not output when pipping to
tee. 

other than screen what are some applications that could capture standard
output and dump to a file?

[patch] Re: Loading mfsroot read-write on FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE

[Dinesh Nair]

On 11/12/05 21:02 Dinesh Nair said the following:
how does one specify a read/write mount of mfsroot in 6.0 in the 
bootloader ?


apparently, the behaviour of vfs_mountroot_try() has changed in 6.0. 
previously, if the root filesystem was mounted from a memory disk, as would 
be the case with an mfsroot.gz, it would be mounted R/W while other fs 
types would be mounted R/O before /etc/rc scripts upgraded the mount to 
R/W. however, in 6.0, all root filesystems are mounted R/O.


the following patch mounts all root filesystems R/W. it's a quick and dirty 
fix however, for a cleaner fix would be to duplicate 5.x behaviour of only 
mounting memory disks R/W and other disks R/O. the kernel needs to be 
rebuilt for this patch to take effect.


is there enough interest in having memory root file systems mounted R/W at 
boot ? if there is, i could put in a little bit more effort into 
duplicating 5.x behaviour on this and submitting it as a PR to 6.0.

Wow!  Thanks for that URL.  I popped my XP CD into the drive, ran the command 
"qemu -hda qemu_basic.img -cdrom /dev/cd0 -boot d -win2k-hack -m 256"

and Voila, XP is installing!

I do have dd(1) images of my Windows laptops and I was hoping I could use one 
of those files to simply boot the emulator into XP, but I think that project 
will have to wait until another day.

Now if I can just get qemu to emulate my Apple IIGS :-)

Check /boot/defaults/loader.conf

under NOTES it shows you how to add it in the kernel just place your

Thanks for your rapid reply.  Here's some more details:

#kldstat

 21 0xc0a31000 7794 snd_emu10k1.ko

#grep agp /sys/i386/conf/GIMPY

#device agp # support several AGP chipsets

I set Option "NvAGP" "2" and now it stops complaining about detecting 
agp.ko although I'm curious how it was detecting it in the first 
place since the module wasn't loaded and the device wasn't compiled 
in the kernel.  At any rate I'll give this a go and report back if I 
am still having problems.

kdeinit stays up after logout

[Nicolas Blais]

Hi,

I don't know how long it has been like that, maybe since kde 3.4 but about 1 
in 3 times, kdeinit will stay up and consume my cpu like free beer after 
logout.

I resolve by "killall -KILL kdeinit" and everything is fine until it does it 
again. I haven't found the cause or a real solution so far.

I was wondering if there's a script kdm runs at logout that I can add "killall 
-KILL kdeinit" inside. Anyone know?

Thanks,
Nicolas.

Lockup/Halt issues on FreeBSD-6.0-RELEASE

[Josh Paetzel]

#uname -a
FreeBSD gimpy.tcbug.org 6.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE #1: Fri Nov 11 
20:00:32 CST 2005 
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  i386

dmesg attached

This box has run 5.4-RELEASE-p(x) for quite some time without issue.  
I cvsupped it to 6.0-RC1 and that worked fine.  I cvsupped to 
6.0-RELEASE and that's when I started getting strange behaviour.

I run Xorg and fluxbox-devel with a large variety of apps. A typical 
mix is gaim, linux-opera, kate, kmail, xmms, xchat, gimp and a half 
dozen xterms for good measure.

Every once in a while the box will hang in a very strange way.  xmms 
plays music, irc stuffs scrolls on xchat, compiles on an xterm keep 
going, and the mouse pointer works.  The mouse buttons won't do 
anything, the keyboard won't do anything, I can't switch to a 
different virtual terminal, nothing is logged, I can't get to a 
debugger.  If I hit the power button (this is an ATX system) the box 
immediately shuts off.  On reboot it doesn't need to do an fsck of 
any kind nor does it complain about filesystems being unmounted 
improperly.  This sort of leads me to believe that somehow parts of 
shutdown are being run (or insert your theoretical theory here) I'm 
willing to do trouble-shooting on this if anyone is interested in 
looking at it.  I may be able to get a serial console when the hang 
occurs. (haven't tried that yet)

Looks like my attempt to be concise ending up being too terse. :)  I
have no software on my system that I cannot rebuild from sources.  If I
were to acquire such software, I'd rather have to add the compat libs as
as port (and re-add the options flag to the kernel) then have them as
legacy libs hanging around after an upgrade.

That does give me an idea, however.  I can probably use the contents of
the compat5 port to find out what libs are specific to that version.

Cheers,
-Wes

I had a similar issue, and from memory it was the cable. For instance
you probably need an 80 pin cable, or your current cable may have
something wrong with it (happens eventually with all the twisting
etc). Also check that master/slave/primary/secondary is all correct
etc.

pflog trouble?

[Dick Hoogendijk]

Today I compiled some kde stuff for a few hours on my fbsd-6.0 box and
when I gave the "shutdown -p now" command it took minutes to complete
the shutdown process. The machine "seemed to hang" on the shutdown of
the pflog device. The porcess /was/ completed succesfully in the end but
I wonder what happened..

After starting up again and (again) a shutdown -p now all went well and
fast.

Anybody a clue?

ntp handling in 6.0

[Dave]

Hello,
   Has ntp handling changed in 6.0-RELEASE? I've been through the handbook 
and /etc/defaults/rc.conf but haven't found the answer to this. I've got a 
machine acting as an ntp server for a network. When i run ntpdate -b  
from another machine i get the error "No servers suitable for 
synchronization found". Ntpd from these other boxes shows the same. From the 
local ntp server to the ntp servers on the internet works fine.

The local ntp server's configuration is as follows:

/etc/rc.conf
ntpdate_enable="YES"
ntpdate_flags="-b servername"
ntpd_enable="YES"
ntpd_flags="-c /etc/ntp.conf -p /var/run/ntpd.pid"

ntp.conf
server servername prefer
server servername
servername
driftfile /etc/ntp.drift
restrict 192.168.9.0 mask 255.255.255.0 notrust nomodify notrap

and on client boxes:

/etc/rc.conf
ntpdate_enable="YES"
ntpdate_flags="-b local ntp server IP"
ntpd_enable="YES"
ntpd_flags="-c /etc/ntp.conf -p /var/run/ntpd.pid"

/etc/ntp.conf
server local-ntp-server-ip prefer
driftfile /etc/ntp.drift

   Thanks.
Dave.

Re: Firefox problem...another newbie question

[Kan Cai]

It seems that there is some problem with your glib. You might need to
upgrade it. Note that portupgrade isn't working for glib/gtk 2.8.x upgrade.
You need to use gnome_upgrade212.sh instead, check /usr/ports/UPDATING for
details.

Yes, I think that is correct.  I did this a week or two ago, and it
worked fine.

Re: How can I programatically eject a live cd?

I believe that you can't do this because "you" are sitting on this CD.

In general:

# cdcontrol eject

Running A Named Server

[Gerard Seibert]

If I understand this correctly, if I want to enable a cache name server,
all I have to do is the following:

In /etc/rc.conf enter:
named_enable="YES"

Run this command: 
# cd /etc/namedb
# sh make-localhost

I enter the address: 127.0.0.1 in the /etc/resolv.conf file ahead of any
other entries.

I do not have to modify the /etc/namedb/named.conf in any way.

I can then either reboot or start the program manually.

Have I gotten that all correct?

Removing pre-6.0 libraries

[Wes Santee]

Greetings!

I've done a buildworld/kernel/installworld/mergemaster update from
5.4-STABLE to 6.0-RELEASE.  Everything went without a hitch.

I'm in the process of completely rebuilding all my installed ports
(portmanager -u -f).  After that, I'll be removing 'options
COMPAT_FREEBSD5' from my kernel.  Once that is done, is there a command
or some other way to remove all the 5.x compatibility libraries from
/usr/lib and other places?

Is there anything else I'll need to do to make sure I'm not still
dependent on 5.x libraries?

Cheers,
-Wes

You want to eject your running root filesystem?
That's a *really* crazy idea.
Why do you want to do that?


Well, I don't "want" to eject my running root filesystem, but I need to
have the CD eject on a reboot/halt of the system.

So, is there a "nicer" way of doing this?



There is on "other" Unix type OS's the command "eject" which
will actually open the CD tray.  I use it all the time in the
server colo when there is some mislabed machines, I'll make sure
all the CDROM trays are shut, login to the machine and type
"eject" and the tray of the mislabed machine will pop open.

Here is some information that "may or may not" help you in

Getting rid of /dev and mount entry after unplugging mounted USB memory stick

[Hans Nieser]

Hi list,

Every now and then I forget to unmount my USB memory stick. This becomes a 
problem because every time I do it, I am left with a bogus mount and 
device entry. "umount -f" makes the whole machine reboot instantly. From 
the googling that I have done, I have concluded that this is normal. (But 
just to be sure, I will paste my dmesg output below).


Is there a way I can get rid of the bogus mount / device entry other than 
rebooting, or will I really have to teach myself to unmount my USB device 
everytime before I unplug it?


Note that integrity of the data or data-transfer speed of the USB device 
is not critical as it is actually an MP3 player that I copy a bunch of 
mp3s to every now and then. So sacrifices can be made if neccesary.


Below is the dmesg output of all USB-related devices (da0 through da3 are 
flashcard readers, haven't actually done anything with those so they can 
probably be ignored). Output from plugging in the mp3player is at the bottom.

I've checked and I'm pretty sure that your patch applied cleanly so it
must be something to do with how I've got my ports tree set up.

I all ready have one pr against this port that looks like it will be pending 
until maintainer time out.  Saw this a while bck and thought I had 
portmanager working around it. Mind testing the attached patch and seeing if 
it helps?

This is a good job of providing information.  FreeBSD 6.0 has exposed a few 
bugs that I didn't find in 5.4, there is allready a pach submitted that may 
fix this one, if it doesn't I need the same information after it is applied.  
I've attached the patch in case you don't want to wait for 

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=8

to be commited, just mkdir sysutils/portmanager/files, place the patch in 
there then rebuild reinstall.

Well, I don't "want" to eject my running root filesystem, but I need to
have the CD eject on a reboot/halt of the system.  

So, is there a "nicer" way of doing this?

Note: my /usr/ports tree is symlinked to somewhere within my home
directory so I don't know if this is causing any problems.

With the patch, rather than coredumping, portmanager now offers to
remove the win32-codecs port.

The output is like this:

I had this on my machine.

In the multimedia/avifile Makefile there is the following:

#CODEC_PORT= ${PORTSDIR}/multimedia/win32-codecs
CODEC_PORT=${.CURDIR}/../win32-codecs

Switching the commented lines around to this
CODEC_PORT= ${PORTSDIR}/multimedia/win32-codecs
#CODEC_PORT=${.CURDIR}/../win32-codecs

stops portmanager from coredumping when scanning that port.

I'm unsure as to where the problem lies so I wouldn't entirely
recommend making the change unless you're willing to spend time fixing
things if they get broken (note: I've had no problems so far but since
I don't fully understand the way the port works I'm not going to say
this is the Right Thing To Do ;-)

Garance,

Thanks - it's working. I was staring at it and totally missed the *.

You want to eject your running root filesystem?
That's a *really* crazy idea.
Why do you want to do that?

You do not want "default" as a collection.  You want to *set*
default values for some variables.  To set default values, you
need to have an '*' character before the word 'default'.  E.g.:

*default host=cvsup2.FreeBSD.org
*default base=/var/db
*default prefix=/usr
*default release=cvs
*default tag=RELENG_6_0
*default delete use-rel-suffix

src-all

Note that you do not want to add a '*' before 'src-all', because
'src-all' is the name of a collection that you want to track.

Does CUPS install its own version of `lpr'?  I suspect it does.
See if you have a /usr/local/bin/lpr in addition to /usr/bin/lpr.
If you do, then see if that version of lpr works.

What you probably need to do is remove /usr/bin/lpr, or make it
into a symlink to /usr/local/bin/lpr.  You would also want to
add to /etc/make.conf a line something like:

NO_LPR=yes

Re: CPU affinity in new ULE scheduler

On Wed, 9 Nov 2005, Ian Lord wrote:


Are you saying that ULE is slower then 4BSD ?

I'm new to this and when I compiled my kernel, it was "clear" ULE was a

Schedulers are one of the hardest things to do right in OS design, as they 
rely a great deal on how workloads behave and interact.  I've seen 
significantly varied performance between the two -- there are a lot of 
anecdotal reports that ULE is better for "interactive" workloads on a busy 
desktop machine, but keep in mind that 4BSD has seen a number of 
improvements in the last few years also.  Right now, 4BSD is considered 
the "production" scheduler for FreeBSD, although there's continuing 
interest in improving ULE, as well as integrating some of the techniques 
used in ULE into 4BSD.  For example, ULE used to see a significant 
performance win over 4BSD on SMP as it did a better job of identifying 
idle CPUs and migrating work to those CPUs.  4BSD has improved a lot on 
this front in the last year or two, and so has caught up with some of 
those benefits.


In the end, only by measuring will you be able to tell if ULE is better 
for your workload.  Measurement can mean qualitative experience 
(everything seems snappier) or quantitative (I get 14% more transactions 
per second with scheduler X).

That's because you can't.  ULE gives lower performance on the
workloads I have tested anyway.  This may be fixed in the future.

Loading mfsroot read-write on FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE

[Dinesh Nair]

i'm attempting to create a stripped down implementation of FreeBSD 
6.0-RELEASE and have noticed some changes in how the loader loads mfsroot 
between 4.x and 6.x.


/boot/loader.rc has:
set console=comconsole
set hw.ata.atapi_dma="1"
set hw.ata.ata_dma="1"
set hw.ata.wc="0"
load /kernel
load -t mfs_root /mfsroot
boot

however, upon a boot, i see the following:

how does one specify a read/write mount of mfsroot in 6.0 in the bootloader ?

Installation of Freebsd on external hard drive

Hello freebsd-mobile,
i'm a quite experienced Debian laptop user using an Acer Travelmate 8005. I
would like to install freebsd on an external USB or Firewire HD and choose
which OS use at startup (maybe within the GRUB loader). However i'm a BSD
newbie.
Could you give me some hints on how to perform this task? What option should
i choose for the bootloader?

Thanks in advance for the help,

nvidia + agp crashes

[Jeppe Larsen]

Im running 6.0 and I have som problems with the nvidia-drivers and AGP
support. 
Its a SiS 661 chipset. It seems to be found:

agp0:  mem 0xe800-0xebff at device 0.0
on pci0

And this it was sysctl says:

dev.agp.0.%desc: SiS 661 host to AGP bridge
dev.agp.0.%driver: agp
dev.agp.0.%location: slot=0 function=0
dev.agp.0.%pnpinfo: vendor=0x1039 device=0x0661 subvendor=0x1043 
subdevice=0x8113 class=0x06
dev.agp.0.%parent: pci0

And a /dev/agpgart exists.

The real problem appears when I try starting X with the nvidia-drivers.
The SiS 661 chipset is not supported by the nvidia AGP driver (it was the
same under Linux, so I used the AGPGART module there), so I should used
the native FreeBSD AGP support. I have the right NvAGP option in xorg.conf
and everything, but my machine reboots when X is started. No error message
is logged anywhere.
The driver seems to work fine with my gfx-card, a GeForce4 MX 4000,
because X runs fine with AGP disabled, but with half the performance
(glxgears) than I had under Linux. The problem is apparently that the
nvidia-driver cant use the FreeBSD AGP driver. I've tried with 7676, 7667
and 7174 (compiled the latest with GPU_LEGACY_SUPPORT) and it is the same
problem.

Is there someway to at least get an error message before the reboot or
something?

Yes, there are other ways.

The two main choices for rebuilding new ports are sysutils/ portupgrade

portmanager uses a rather different approach to handling  dependencies,

KDE and GNOME better than portupgrade does.



OK. I am trying to install portupgrade (I do not use X) from the ports but 
after I make install I get the following error:

For backup purposes, I'd separate at least /home. As a general rule, try
to keep filesystems small enough so that a full dump (or other backup)
fits on your preferred backup medium.

Many msgs are written on disk layout before, I guess.

I'll install FreeBSD-6 on a 160G drive.
Is it OK to just use the "normal" layout (/ /var /tmp /usr) or will it

All slices are on the same disk, but I wonder if it will be better from

FreeBSD 6 on Centrino laptop : how to prolong battery life with cpufreq (like est and estctrl did)

[Miles Keaton]

I'm happily using FreeBSD 6 on a Centrino laptop, but wondering if
anyone can explain ("for dummies") how to use the new cpufreq +
SpeedStep to throttle-down my CPU usage and extend battery life - the
way that sysutils/est and sysutils/estctrl used to do in FreeBSD 5?

(I was using est+estctrl in FreeBSD 5 wonderfully, but now they're
disabled, telling me to use cpufreq instead - though I can't tell how,
and didn't understand the man page.)

Thanks!

Re: GNOME Upgrade on a non-GNOME Machine

[Kan Cai]

Yes. I did it a few days as /usr/ports/UPDATING suggests. It worked but it
took too much time (1.5 days). This is because a lot packages depend on glib
and gtk, so they have to be upgraded as well. I am just wondering if there
is any way to accerlerate the process.

cheers,
