Interestingly it only happens with Mplayer but not with ogle; before
yesterday I could not use ogle because the one from the ports collection
has a bug and only played the sound, but dark screen; yesterday I got
the hint to compile ogle from the CVS and now it works too; I was
surprised that ogle play the same DVD fine, while Mplayer with these
breaks... playing from disk also Mplayer works without breaks;

its a Fujitsu Siemens Lifebook E8020 with 2.13 GHz CPU, 1 GB RAM,
ATI "M24 1P Radeon Mobility X600" graphic ship
and Xorg works fine with a resolution of 1400x1050

If you play a movie file from the hard disk does the same thing happen?

Is this full screen or not?

What is the laptop make and model?

This raises a number of questions:-
* Can the RW disks you have written be read in some other drive?
* Can you read RW disks written somewhere else?

A pure shot in the dark -- but I suspect the read on your drive 
may not be sensitive enough to read RW disks.

Of course if it can write them one would expect it is designed to 
be able to read them -- but it may be out of spec. or have 
deteriorated since manufacture.

Re: ipfw divert with exception?

[Foo Ji-Haw]

Which is the part that does not work?

You can see the matching process by adding 'log' to the rule:
ipfw log add 70 allow tcp from 10.0.1.254 to any

Last thing to check: traffic runs both ways, so you may need to have two 
rules instead of one.

ipfw add accept tcp from any to any 22 in via ${ext_if}

## Workaround for broken port linuxpluginwrapper.
## Beech Rintoul - [EMAIL PROTECTED]

## Before building linuxpluginwrapper:

rm -R /usr/X11R6/lib/browser_linux_plugins

ln -s /usr/X11R6/lib/browser_plugins /usr/X11R6/lib/browser_linux_plugins


## Build linuxpluginwrapper:

cd /usr/ports/www/linuxpluginwrapper

make -DWITH_PLUGINS install clean

## or upgrade:

portupgrade -vm -DWITH_PLUGINS linuxpluginwrapper

## Remove symlink (Will break Mozilla).

rm -rf /usr/X11R6/lib/browser_linux_plugins

## Fix acroread:

rm -rf /usr/local/bin/acroread  # If upgrade.

mv  /usr/local/bin/acroread7  /usr/local/bin/acroread

rm -rf /usr/X11R6/lib/browser_plugins/nppdf.so

ln -s  
/usr/local/lib/acroread/usr/local/Adobe/Acrobat7.0/Browser/intellinux/nppdf.so 
/usr/X11R6/lib/browser_plugins/nppdf.so

## Change path to nppdf.so in /etc/libmap.conf:

# Acrobat7 with Mozilla/Firebird/Galeon/Epiphany/Konqueror
[/usr/local/lib/acroread/usr/local/Adobe/Acrobat7.0/Browser/intellinux/nppdf.so]
 
libc.so.6   pluginwrapper/acrobat.so

## Note:
## Acroread now works properly in browser.
## Helix plugin does not work with Firefox or Mozilla at this time. 
## Flash 6.0 works without modification.
## Flash7 is VERY unstable and will crash Firefox (possibly Mozilla).

## Launch browser and type "about:plugins" without the quotes to check that 
plugins are enabled.___

Doing the full install from floppy would be tortuous, but using the 
floppy to boot the sysinstall and then doing the installation over
the net is reasonable - not much different from using the CD to 
install over the net - which is what I normally do.

I think that is true, but just having some traffic in their FreeBSD

just publish more.

Was wondering on average how long building userland and the kernel for

The only frame of reference I have is building 4.5-RELEASE on an ancient

On a Celeron 466 with 256M RAM, I upgraded from 5.3 to 6.0.

make buildworld took around 5 hours 37 minutes.

make kernel took around 1 hour 25 minutes.

   Thanks for your tip.

You are not configured correctly. This statement
 ifconfig_rl0="inet 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0"
is forceing that ip addr to be used and its wrong.
you have to get ip assigned by your isp.
Follow this example.  Which means you can use ipnat or ppp nat.

  start of ppp.conf  ###
default:

 set log Phase tun #use to avoid excessive log sizes
 set timeout 0 # no idle time out, will not
disconnect

dialisp:
 set device PPPoE:XXX  # replace xxx with your NIC device
name
 set authname YOURLOGINNAME# Replace with your ISP account
username
 set authkey YOURPASSWORD  # Replace with your ISP account
password
 add default HISADDR   # Add a (sticky) default route
(Mandatory)
 enable dns # Gets the ISP's DNS IP address & places
them
# in resolv.conf for reference by FBSD box.

###   End of ppp.conf
#


Replace the XXX in the [set device PPPoE:XXX] statement with the
NIC's FBSD interface name. Sometimes it will be necessary to use a
service tag to establish your connection depending on how your ISP
and/or the phone company has its DSL network configured. Service
tags are used to distinguish between different PPPoE servers
attached to a given network. You should have been given any required
service tag information in the documentation provided by your ISP.
If you cannot locate it there, ask your ISP's tech support
personnel. This is the format of the command with the service tag
added:

set device PPPoE::service_tag(in your case  = rl0)

The  is the FBSD interface name used by PPPoE. The interface
must be UP (IE: enabled). It is only used as a transport, and does
not need to be assigned an IP address. This can be done
automatically at boot time by updating the /etc/rc.conf file. The
format of the statement to add is ifconfig_=up where  is the
NIC's FBSD interface name used by PPPoE that you specified in the
/etc/ppp/ppp.conf file.


ee /etc/rc.conf # add following statements

ifconfig_=up# (in your case  = rl0)

ifconfig_tun0="DHCP"# get your ISP assigned IP address



To setup user ppp to dial your ISP automatically at FBSD boot time,
you have to add the following statements to the rc.conf file. The
ddial option means to redial every time the connection to the ISP
gets dropped.

ee /etc/rc.conf


# Activate user ppp auto start at boot time
ppp_enable="YES" # Start User PPP task
ppp_mode="ddial" # ddial, auto, background
ppp_profile="dialisp"# section in ppp.conf to exec

#ppp_nat="YES"   # only if you have LAN behind this PC.

# deactivate ipfilter Nat function (comment statements out)

#ipnat_enable="YES"
#ipnat_rules="/etc/ipnat.rules"

Hi, this is my first message to the mailing-list. I hope that I have

enough information about the problem.

The problem is that my FreeBSD 6.0 (release) won't use the default route
(gateway). So I can't access anything on the internet.

Hardware and network equipment:
Dell latitude D810 (Pentium M 2.0 GHz, 1.5 GB of primary memory, 
broadcom

gigabit/fast/"normal" ethernet controller).
The broadcom chip uses the bge driver. I have looked in the man page 
for that

and no troubles or something like that is mentioned.
IPv4 address: 192.168.0.228 /25

The gateway is a netgear RP614 broadband router. IPv4: 192.168.0.199 /25

Also a windows 2003 server is acting as DNS-server for my network.

FreeBSD shares the computer with windows XP pro SP2 using dual boot.
In windows it works fine so this convince me that it's a software 
problem in

FreeBSD.

As said, it works perfectly fine inside the LAN, but not outside.


I include a dmesg output (at the bottom) if that is of any importance 
and also

output from ifconfig, netstat -nr, ping and traceroute.
I was logged in as root while testing this.
Notice that because I'm using an internal DNS-server I can do lookups.
Obviously that wouldn't have been possible with the DNS-server 
provided by my

ISP.



I don't see anything obviously wrong with the configuration info you 
sent below.  The problem you are having is more likely in the router 
you are using, but without that configuration info, it's impossible to 
tell.


Are you using dhcp to assign IP addresses?  If so, is the router doing 
that job or something else?


Since you mentioned that it works when you boot into windows, are the 
network settings the same? (IP, netmask, default route ,etc) or is 
windows configured to use something different?


How is NAT configured in the router?  Does it's configuration cover 
the 192.168.0.228 address?


-Glenn



Problem is solved!
Sometimes oneself must be told to re-think what you think you already have
though of ;-)

(I'm not using DHCP for the record)

The network settings for the broadcom controller wasn't the same in windows,
but the same as the intel p/w 2915 wireless controller in windows.
IP for broadcom in windows was 192.168.0.225 /25 and .228 for the wireless.

My conclusion is that the netgear RP614 played along fine in the LAN.
For example I had no problem accessing it's web-interface.
BUT when it comes to do NAT:ing it must have remembered the MAC of .228
(since I had used windows right before freebsd) and the NAT function of it
refuse to understand that it has to use another MAC for sending back
information.

After changing the broadcom controller's IP in freebsd to 192.168.0.225 /25
it works perfectly.


Thanks to you all for your replys. I have still some endeavors left before
freebsd is like a hand in the glove on my laptop, but hopefully I won't
run in to "unresolvable" problems =)

I believe in the intro I pointed out "Assumptions" that you need to boot from 
CD for this particular tutorial. May God have mercy on anyone trying to do a 
floppy install. Even the books say not to do that.

Ah here it is:

Assumptions:
You have a CD-ROM drive

You won't be sharing the HD with another OS (If you are, when it comes time to 
partition, you're on your own I won't be showing you how to partition to use 
another OS with it, as I don't, and don't feel the need to, as there is 
enough documentation to get you through this anyway, and besides, you have to 
partition to use Free BSD anyway, so if you can do that, you can do it to 
allow another OS to reside on disk with Free BSD too.)


You will be setting up a network connection. (If you are not, then skip that 
section).

Again I believe that was pointed out as well where I pointed out the others I 
wrote, those say to grab all hardware info from your current OS as you'll 
need it. And I believe it was pointed out in this one as well. Not positive 
as I'm not reading through the entire thing, I've been up for 24 hours and 
I'm to tired to look when I know my other tutorials are linked to at the 
bottom and that do say to do so.

> You should have just told people to use the FreeBSD book or goto the
> handbook online.

I did Several times. Except I took out online and put "Buy these two books 
as they are good for anyone using BSD". Again, I believe people should at 
least buy those two books listed in the tutorial, both go over installs with 
pictures, and again, this was meant for people that you rightly pointed out 
don't care how the computer works.

The users who've read it and used it have told me it was the easiest doc the 
have ever read and they were glad it was in non technical terms for them. A 
couple admins told me they have printed this out and put it up at the office.

If I got bothered because someone didn't appreciate my work I'd sure be 
depressed. I've been flamed to the point someone said something I wrote was 
complete crap and I should commit suicide. THAT was harsh.

And another mail I sent to the list today, I pointed out the reason I didn't 
link tot he docs. I WANT people to BUY the books from Free BSD to help 
support the project. You can't possibly think that was wrong of me, the 
developers need to eat too.

termcap and TERM detection

[E. Eusey]

The secondary screen functionality on my xterm (rxvt-unicode) was acting 
strangly.  So, following the advice at:


http://cvs.schmorp.de/browse/*checkout*/rxvt-unicode/doc/rxvt.7.html

I added an rxvt-unicode termcap entry to my termcap file and ran 
cap_mkdb.  After login, I'm able to 'setenv TERM rxvt-unicode' and 
everything works perfectly.


However, when running urxvt initially, it detects the $TERM as 'rxvt', 
not 'rxvt-unicode'.  How is the $TERM variable determined by the system? 
 Is there a way to detect my new termcap entry?  Any help would be 
greatly appreciated.

Note the IP address is truncated.   I took the liberty of fixing and

Well, not if stable means just barely able to run without falling 
all over itself. 
 -- And release means solid reliable product, approved for general use.

Yah, stable is better than alpha or the bleeding edge 'current' development
image, but still in need of significant care.

Think of how they report someone's health condition after a trauma.
Stable seems to mean they can finally move the patient from the operating
room to a bed with monitors and walk down and get lunch.   But, the patient
is still a long way from being able to drive home.

Just so, a FreeBSD version spends a long time in stable before 
making it to RELEASE.

No, I claimed authorship to the link I posted in the original message. I tried

but I am not running a service, just some command that need to be run on 
start up.


I have a shell script that works when i run it as root. I have moved it to 
/usr/local/etc/rc.d and chmod +x but it is not running when the pc starts. 
Is moving file to usr/local/etc/rc.d/ and chmod +x all i have to do?


Any ideas would be great. many thanks to you.
Mik

Björn,
(sorry for being vague - I seem to be too deep in my problems)

thanks for the tip - portalfs was the first thing to try, but it does not work 
with samba (at least the way, I wanted ):

Portalfs does not allow to pass anything besides '/p/tcp/localhost/'

To be less vague :
the external device is a black box, communicates via ???-HTTP server.

The idea is:
- a (windows)user copies a file to a directory (say: .../commands/xyz),
- there is a "thing", that maps this file to some activity towards external
  box (similar to: procfs_doprocnote )
- as a response, a file appears in another file (.../response/data), 
  which can be read from (windows)client ( similar to: procfs_doproccmdline)
- the whole stuff should work diskless 
- response data can be from a few bytes up to several megabyte



- if I can manage, I could export this filesystem via samba _and_ nfs ...

- if it all was only about acces to the black box, it could be done via 
HTTP ... unfortunately, I have to deal with windows clients


I'm just curious: why can't the windows clients just use Firefox (or
any other browser) to access the black box?  You can download files
(e.g. results) with a browser...

You could use readcd's c2scan option to check if your CD-RWs are OK.
readcd is part of (/usr/ports/sysutils/cdrtools/) if you don't have
atapicam in your kernel you have to kldload it.

Is remote gdb debugging supported on FreeBSD-5.4?

[Paul Marciano]

I have a need to remotely debug an application on a
remote FreeBSD-5.4 machine that is devoid of utilities
and source code.

I previously asked a question about gdbserver, but it
looks like it's not available so I'll ask the more
general question.

I could login in to the remote machine, mount a source
and utility NFS partition and run gdb locally, but I
would rather attach a gdb session from my development
machine to the target machine.

Is remote debugging with gdb supported at all on
FreeBSD (5.4)?

Thanks,
Paul.

You're right: per the FreeBSD world, I've botched the two terms.  But
if we're talking pure semantics, wouldn't you be more likely to
entrust something labelled "STABLE" over a similar thing labelled
"RELEASE"? ;)

And of course, I'm now much more interested that procedure than I was

Ports dependencies questions (php5-mysql-5.1.1 and php5-mysqli-5.1.1)

[Ian Lord]

Hi,

I have installed the ports php5-mysql-5.1.1 and php5-mysqli-5.1.1
during the make, the port mysql-client-4.1.16 got installed

I need the newer version of mysql-client-5.x

When I try to install it, I get an error saying I cannot install 
because mysql-client-4.1.16 is already installed.
If I try to uninstall mysql-client-4.1.16 using pkg_delete I get an 
error because php5-mysql-5.1.1 and php5-mysqli-5.1.1 requires it...


So is there a better way to install php5 with mysql support, or can 
the maintainer of this port change it so we can use mysql-client-5x 
or am I doing something stupid ? :)

This would be a great resource, if it were sure to work.  I am not
anxious to go from 5.4-STABLE to 6.0 (not until it goes stable), but I
tried to run through the preparatory steps as outlined on that page. 
I ran into a few concerns with steps 2 and 4:

> freebsd-update -v IDS | tail +8 | grep . > /root/base-modified

This resulted in an empty file for me... but perhaps that is as
expected.  When the suggested step is to "generate a list of files
from the base system which have been locally modified", are we talking
about a list of only binaries, or of _all_ locally modified files? 
While I've edited many configuration parameters, I certainly haven't
modified any binary files.

First, after installing freebsd-update according to the first step, I
don't have a "work" directory (nor anything at all in that directory,
for that matter).  Should something exist in this path after
installing the freebsd-update port?  And second, how would one
correctly execute this command string in bash?  I got errors from both
cut and while:
cut: [-cf] list: illegal list value
while: Expression Syntax.

You can try www.linuxbazar.com for purchasing FreeBSD/Linux CDs. They
didn't have FreeBSD 6 CDs when i checked the site last time. But they
can make it available for you evenif they don't have it currently. I
also have a dialup connection so downloading the ISOs is a daunting
task for me. I myself purchased CDs for FreeBSD 5.4 release and
NetBSD, so i think the site is reliable. Anyways give it a try if you
want.

Have you tried starting mouse manually in the foreground? or with
debugging flags? take a look at `man moused` I had a PS/2 mouse, pretty
generic, came up in dmesg as a "4D+" mouse. It would work, but was
jumping all over the screen, worked fine in windows AND interestingly
enough, linux as well. might just be a glitchy implementation, worst
case you gotta pickup another $5 mouse. :)

Problems reading CDRW after writing

[Marc Evans]

Hello -

I am running FreeBSD 6.0-STABLE as of Dec-15-2005 on a P4 system. I have a CDRW 
drive attached, which identifies as follows:


acd0: CDRW  at ata1-slave UDMA33

I wish to use this device to produce CDRW backup disks periodically. I use the 
following commands to produce the backup:


burncd erase
sleep 2 # needed to avoid READY error
tar czf - ... | burncd data - fixate

This appears to work fine, from the perspective of the output of the commands, 
e.g. I see output like:


blanking CD - 100 % done
next writeable LBA 0
writing from stdin
written this track 633420 KB total 633420 KB
fixating CD, please wait..

My problem is that attempts to read the data back, always fail:

# tar tzf /dev/acd0
tar: Error opening archive: Error reading '/dev/acd0': Input/output error
# ls -l /dev/*cd*
crw-r-  1 root  operator0,  93 Jan  3 10:33 /dev/acd0
crw-r-  1 root  operator0, 127 Dec 30 14:26 /dev/acd0t01

No errors are shown in /var/log/messages.

I have also tried writing an ISO9660 image and mounting it, with similar 
problems at mount time.


The above said, I am able to create CD-R data disks and mount them or otherwise 
use them. I have tried several different CD-RW media, and played with -s (the 
media is rated as 12x), but have observed no changes.


Can anyone suggest solutions?

Thanks in advance - Marc

6.0-RELEASE Thinkpad 600e SMBus IOCTL: Device not configured error & apm issues.

[Ross Marchiafava]

Hello,

This is my second email to this list, I got no response from the first email
I sent, I hope i'm providing enough information.

I'm currently running FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE on my IBM Thinkpad 600e 2645-4AU
with a custom kernel.  I updated the BIOS to the latest version that IBM
offers ( INET36WW
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=DSHY-46HLKQ).

I've searched google quite a bit on how to get this laptop properly working
in FreeBSD.  I'm using APM on my system, one thing I noticed is that when
running 'apm' the Remaining battery time is not consistent, it jumps from
2:00:00 to 3:05:00 back to 2:35:00 it's really all over the place.  The
Remaining battery does not randomly change, so i'm assuming that is correct?


I also noticed that whenever my laptop comes out of suspend ( apm -Z ), the
video color is distorted I'm using VESA with 'vidcontrol MODE_279'
1024x768x16, all other modes seem to do the same thing however when coming
out of suspend mode it distorts to a different color, so on mode 279 it
distorts the white color to a light blue, and with 280 it distorts the white
color to red, it distorts other colors as well but that's the main color I
notice.

I've compiled smbus into my kernel and I load the intpm driver and the
/dev/smb0 is created.  I tried using 'chm' but I get these errors:

I have listed pciconf, dmesg, loader.conf, device.hints, and kernel config
below.
I appreciate any help that anyone is able to provide, I would love to have
this Laptop working 100%.
Thank you.

-Ross

Frank, thanks for your reply,

this is not just a problem in xorg, it is also the mouse not
working in the console (without X). I don't get an arrow
cursor that I can use in the console to copy/paste text.

I've tried using moused (moused_enable="YES" in rc.conf) and
then using /dev/sysmouse in xorg.conf and also disabling
moused and using /dev/psm0 in xorg.conf.

Identifier  "Mouse1"
Driver  "mouse"
Option "Protocol""PS/2"
Option "Device"  "/dev/psm0"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"

(I've done tests with and w/o the ZAxisMapping line, and as
mentioned with psm0 or sysmouse after /dev/ in the "Device"
option. None worked).

When using /dev/psm0 in xorg.conf I got the typical X cursor
instead of the arrow, and I could move it with the mouse,
although the movement was erratic ... most of the movement
of the mouse was not recognized and sometimes the cursor
would move to the bottom left corner of the screen  

Using moused and /dev/sysmouse in xorg.conf resulted in a
black arrow as a cursor, as mentioned, but the cursor would
not move at all. 

I exchanged the mouse, and now the same setup works (only
tested the mouse in the console since I'm now rebuilding the
xorg from ports). This is also a generic mouse (Noganet,
PS/2) but it has three buttons instead of two and a wheel. 

Maybe the other mouse is defective, but it works without a
hitch in WinXP ... or perhaps I'm missing some essential flags
that need to be added for a wheel mouse?

Also, I've tried different combinations of ports/types using
/stand/sysinstall (post-install configurarion->mouse) and I
never got an arrow shown in the screen when activating the
mouse daemon with the wheel mouse.

You assume that the cost is borne individually for each of the 99.9%
of computers.  But there are relatively few operating systems -- the
actual development cost occurs there.

Problems reading CDRW after writing

[Marc Evans]

Hello -

I am running FreeBSD 6.0-STABLE as of Dec-15-2005 on a P4 system. I have a CDRW 
drive attached, which identifies as follows:


acd0: CDRW  at ata1-slave UDMA33

I wish to use this device to produce CDRW backup disks periodically. I use the 
following commands to produce the backup:


burncd erase
sleep 2 # needed to avoid READY error
tar czf - ... | burncd data - fixate

This appears to work fine, from the perspective of the output of the commands, 
e.g. I see output like:


blanking CD - 100 % done
next writeable LBA 0
writing from stdin
written this track 633420 KB total 633420 KB
fixating CD, please wait..

My problem is that attempts to read the data back, always fail:

# tar tzf /dev/acd0
tar: Error opening archive: Error reading '/dev/acd0': Input/output error
# ls -l /dev/*cd*
crw-r-  1 root  operator0,  93 Jan  3 10:33 /dev/acd0
crw-r-  1 root  operator0, 127 Dec 30 14:26 /dev/acd0t01

No errors are shown in /var/log/messages.

I have also tried writing an ISO9660 image and mounting it, with similar 
problems at mount time.


The above said, I am able to create CD-R data disks and mount them or otherwise 
use them. I have tried several different CD-RW media, and played with -s (the 
media is rated as 12x), but have observed no changes.


Can anyone suggest solutions?

Thanks in advance - Marc

Re: FreeBSD 6.0: Problem with network, doesn't use default gateway

[Glenn Dawson]

At 07:18 AM 1/3/2006, Christer Folkesson wrote:

Hi, this is my first message to the mailing-list. I hope that I have included
enough information about the problem.

The problem is that my FreeBSD 6.0 (release) won't use the default route
(gateway). So I can't access anything on the internet.

Hardware and network equipment:
Dell latitude D810 (Pentium M 2.0 GHz, 1.5 GB of primary memory, broadcom
gigabit/fast/"normal" ethernet controller).
The broadcom chip uses the bge driver. I have looked in the man page for that
and no troubles or something like that is mentioned.
IPv4 address: 192.168.0.228 /25

The gateway is a netgear RP614 broadband router. IPv4: 192.168.0.199 /25

Also a windows 2003 server is acting as DNS-server for my network.

FreeBSD shares the computer with windows XP pro SP2 using dual boot.
In windows it works fine so this convince me that it's a software problem in
FreeBSD.

As said, it works perfectly fine inside the LAN, but not outside.


I include a dmesg output (at the bottom) if that is of any importance and also
output from ifconfig, netstat -nr, ping and traceroute.
I was logged in as root while testing this.
Notice that because I'm using an internal DNS-server I can do lookups.
Obviously that wouldn't have been possible with the DNS-server provided by my
ISP.


I don't see anything obviously wrong with the configuration info you 
sent below.  The problem you are having is more likely in the router 
you are using, but without that configuration info, it's impossible to tell.


Are you using dhcp to assign IP addresses?  If so, is the router 
doing that job or something else?


Since you mentioned that it works when you boot into windows, are the 
network settings the same? (IP, netmask, default route ,etc) or is 
windows configured to use something different?


How is NAT configured in the router?  Does it's configuration cover 
the 192.168.0.228 address?

Re: unable to write data to disk ad0

[László Nagy]

First of all, lets get the terminology straightened out.
I think you mean to say that you want to add a partition to
your FreeBSD slice.   


Yes.


Second, I presume you are booted to that drive.   The system does
not allow you to modify the label on the boot drive.   If it is the
only FreeBSD bootable drive you have, then you will need to boot
from the 'fixit' CD and run from that to modify the label and 
add the additional partition.
 

Well, finally I read the disklabel manual over again (about 3 times) and 
I COULD add a new

partition on my boot drive!


By the way, this is in either the handbook, FAQs or the archive.
 

This is typical. You know what, after googling for serveral hours, I 
found out that
it did not let me write on the disk because the kernel had 
SECURELEVEL=2. This is
something that should be in the manual. I appreciate that you wanted to 
help me, but

actually you pointed me to the wrong direction two times.

I suggest to change the documentation of the disklabel/bsdlabel and 
fdisk programs.

We should add this warning:

"Warning: you need to disable your kernel securelevel in /etc/rc.conf. 
The kernel does not

allow to modify disk label information above securelevel=N."

(I'm still not sure about the value of N).

I'm not sure where can I add this request to change the documentation.
But it would save hundreds of hours for newbies and supporters too.

Best,

  Les

[snip]

I may have snipped some clue to what's actually wrong, but don't let 
that discourage you from trying to file complete problem reports. 
I'm a snipper. What I found to be most relevant follows.



Internet:
DestinationGatewayFlagsRefs  Use  Netif Expire
default192.168.0.199  UGS 0   52   bge0

[snip]

This shows generally that the router IP is being properly used by 
FreeBSD as a gateway (Use = 52). Suggests that your assumption that 
FreeBSD isn't using the gateway properly is not correct.




alcoy# traceroute ping.sunet.se
traceroute to ping.sunet.se (130.242.80.31), 64 hops max, 40 byte packets
1  sentinel (192.168.0.199)  0.524 ms  0.518 ms  0.515 ms


[snip]

This shows the gateway IP is being properly used by FreeBSD as the 
appropriate route to ping.sunet.se. Indicates that the problem 
really is not FreeBSD's default route configuration or 
functionality. The route is clearly being used.




alcoy# ping sentinel
PING router.aqualize.tk (192.168.0.199): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 192.168.0.199: icmp_seq=0 ttl=250 time=0.669 ms

[snip]

This shows you communicating with the gateway directly (confirms the 
assertion that local LAN operations are doing just fine).



Since your packets are being routed and NATed by the gateway 
correctly when the box is in Windows mode, packets should be getting 
routed and NATed correctly for FreeBSD as well. That is, if the box 
in Windows mode is using the same IP number and mask as the FreeBSD 
settings (you should double check that it is).


If the gateway is running fine (seems to be) and FreeBSD is properly 
using the gateway (seems to be), then the most likely suspect seems 
to be firewall configuration -- after your connection is properly 
routed, reply packets from the Internet could be getting dropped on 
the floor by your gateway or by FreeBSD.


Have you configured any kind of packet filter (ipf, ipfw, other) for 
FreeBSD? Try disabling that and see if your results change. If so, 
tune your filtering rules accordingly.


Use of tcpdump -i bge0 may also be informative (see man tcpdump).

Chapter 3 is a fairly intense coverage of the C that's used in C++, but
if you're just getting started with all this it may be a little too
intense. To remedy this, the printed book contains a CD ROM training
course that gently introduces you to the C syntax that you need to
understand in order to take on C++ or Java.

Re: How long to compile...

Was wondering on average how long building userland and the
kernel for 6.0-RELEASE should take on a 466MHz Celeron machine
with 128Mb RAM?



Many hours.  :-(
For comparison: it takes ~1h45 on a P4/2.25ghz with 512mb.  I
seem to remember the 500mhz Celeron being an overnight or all-day
job.


Oh well, at least it's a second machine and I can let it go.

You should never do a major (any?) upgrade without making a backup of
important data, and then verifying the backup works.


Yes, you can upgrade in place. Read this.



It specifically warns against going from 4-STABLE to 6.0-RELEASE.

Hi Yujin,
If you want to do a fresh install of FreeBSD 6.0, I suggest that you
only download the bootonly ISO, and then do a minimal install using
FTP as source.

I'd recommend learning C before C++. In order to
be an effective unix programmer you must master
the C language, as you'll have to examine and
modify code in C to do anything substantial.
Virtually all major programs and kernels are 'C'
based.

It seems obvious from the traceroute that its
going to the gateway. Since the address of the
system is not a legal internet address, its
likely a NAT problem. I'd look closely at the
windows setup to see what might be different.

How long to compile...

[Crispy Beef]

Hi,

This is kind of related to my other post (Kernel Compilation), but thought I'd 
post it seperately as it would be interesting to know...


Was wondering on average how long building userland and the kernel for 
6.0-RELEASE should take on a 466MHz Celeron machine with 128Mb RAM?


The only frame of reference I have is building 4.5-RELEASE on an ancient P120 
system with next to nothing on it (gateway/firewall box).



Cheers,

Paul

ISC's ntpd doesn't support that, AFAIK.  However, depending on your needs, 
you might be able to use OpenNTPD which does have that feature.

FreeBSD 6.0: Problem with network, doesn't use default gateway

[Christer Folkesson]

Hi, this is my first message to the mailing-list. I hope that I have 
included

enough information about the problem.

The problem is that my FreeBSD 6.0 (release) won't use the default route
(gateway). So I can't access anything on the internet.

Hardware and network equipment:
Dell latitude D810 (Pentium M 2.0 GHz, 1.5 GB of primary memory, broadcom
gigabit/fast/"normal" ethernet controller).
The broadcom chip uses the bge driver. I have looked in the man page for 
that

and no troubles or something like that is mentioned.
IPv4 address: 192.168.0.228 /25

The gateway is a netgear RP614 broadband router. IPv4: 192.168.0.199 /25

Also a windows 2003 server is acting as DNS-server for my network.

FreeBSD shares the computer with windows XP pro SP2 using dual boot.
In windows it works fine so this convince me that it's a software 
problem in

FreeBSD.

As said, it works perfectly fine inside the LAN, but not outside.


I include a dmesg output (at the bottom) if that is of any importance 
and also

output from ifconfig, netstat -nr, ping and traceroute.
I was logged in as root while testing this.
Notice that because I'm using an internal DNS-server I can do lookups.
Obviously that wouldn't have been possible with the DNS-server provided 
by my

ISP.

Since about a month ago I can no longer use wep encryption
with up to date ndis.

On FreeBSD 6.0 this means you have to kldload wlan_wep.ko,
but on FreeBSD 5.4 there is no wlan_wep.ko.

ATM I use ndis modules from an older build without trouble.

Is anybody else seeing this?

Internal compiler errors usually indicate faulty memory. If you rerun
your compilation and it fails in the same spot, then it could be
software. If the compilations fails in a different area, you've
probably got faulty hardward.


It's looking very much like faulty hardware at the moment...bit of a shame 
really.  Have used Gentoo Linux on this machine before (compiling from source) 
and that's always worked just fine, I only ditched it a couple of weeks ago to 
have a play with FreeBSD again.


Also tried the memtest86 util from a floppy, that doesn't even boot properly 
so looks like it might be a no go.  :-/

http://www.daemonology.net/freebsd-upgrade-5.3-to-5.4/

There is 5.4 to 6 upgrade also at

http://www.daemonology.net/freebsd-upgrade-5.4-to-6.0/

First of all, lets get the terminology straightened out.
I think you mean to say that you want to add a partition to
your FreeBSD slice.   The slice (from 1-4) is the main division 
in FreeBSD and it is subdivided in to partitions a-h.

Second, I presume you are booted to that drive.   The system does
not allow you to modify the label on the boot drive.   If it is the
only FreeBSD bootable drive you have, then you will need to boot
from the 'fixit' CD and run from that to modify the label and 
add the additional partition.

The fixit is now on the main install CD.   Just boot it and then
choose the fixit item and get a UNIX shell.   You can use sysinstall
from that as well if you don't want to handle fdisk and bsdlabel
yourself.Just make sure you are careful about the slice and
partition[s] you modify so you don't wipe out something you want
to keep.

By the way, this is in either the handbook, FAQs or the archive.
I know I have answered this questions several times in the last
year - about every two months.Those resources are your best
first source before making someone write the same thing yet one
more time.

Re: unable to write data to disk ad0

[László Nagy]

are too confusing to me. I do not want to accidentally overwrite my 
good partitions.



I could create a new partition using

disklabel -e ad0s1

The result is a new 'g' partition:

messias# disklabel ad0s1
# /dev/ad0s1:
8 partitions:
#size   offsetfstype   [fsize bsize bps/cpg]
 a:  209715204.2BSD 2048 16384 28552
 b:  2097152  2097152  swap
 c: 1600715970unused0 0 # "raw" part, 
don't edit

 d:  6291456  41943044.2BSD 2048 16384 28552
 e:  4194304 104857604.2BSD 2048 16384 28552
 f: 83886080 146800644.2BSD 2048 16384 28552
 g: 61505453 985661444.2BSD 2048 16384 28552

When I try to format it:

messias# newfs -O2 /dev/ad0s1g
newfs: /dev/ad0s1g: failed to open disk for writing


What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

No. CD1 will give you as much as the OS plus X11 plus all sources. 
Plus

the complete ports tree as of 6.0-RELEASE.

CD2 contains several hundred binary packages, but are not required

OS upgrade.


I've always wondered this.  I'm running 5.1.  Can I upgrade to 6.x in

If so, how do I do that?  I couldn't find anything in the Handbook or

mouse dead on FreeBSD but not on Windows

[Fernan Aguero]

Hi!

I've a dual boot machine, which was running FreeBSD-5.4 (now
6.0p1) and WinXP. It has a cheap PS/2 mouse (Biswal is the
brand, but I guess it's just a generic mouse, details at the
bottom).

In Windows it works flawlessly ... wheel included. It's been
running for months. In FreeBSD it never worked. I don't know
if I'm doing something wrong ... this machine is the first
box in which I installed 5.x so perhaps there are some
configuration differences from 4.x tham I'm unaware of?

Any help would be appreciated (of course I can go buy
another cheap mouse ... but I'm intrigued now).

The details:

dmesg says:
psm0:  irq 12 on atkbdc0
psm0: [GIANT LOCKED]
psm0: model Intellimouse, device ID 3

moused says:
moused -i all -p /dev/psm0
/dev/psm0 ps/2 sysmouse Intellimouse

I've tried to run 'vidcontrol -m on' and then 'moused -p
/dev/psm0 -t auto/sysmouse' and I never get an arrow on the
screen.

I've got X installed with gnome and when booting I always
get a black arrow in the xdm login screen that I cannot move
with the mouse. I also tried to tweak my Xorg.conf file to
no avail.

My custom kernel has the following (I quote what I guess
it's relevant, do ask for more detail if neccessary):
device  atkbdc
device  atkbd
device  psm

I just cvsuped against RELENG_6_0 and rebuilt the world and
kernel. All the base system is now 6.0p1, and now I need to
rebuild all ports ... but apart from that the mouse is still
dead on FreeBSD.

Again thanks for any help,

fernan

Problems with phpMyAdmin ...

[Thomas T. Veldhouse]

Recently, I pulled down the current ports on my 6.0-RELEASE system and 
ran portupgrade (-Ra).  Everything works fabulously except for 
phpMyAdmin.  Other PHP (5.1.1) applications work just fine, including 
postfixadmin and others.  With phpMyAdmin (2.7.0p2 and all previous 
versions that I have attempted manually) I simply get a empty page.  If 
I run it through Squid, I get the following.


"The following error was encountered:

   * * Zero Sized Reply *

Squid did not receive any data for this request."

I have checked my Apache (2.0) error logs and find no errors at all.  
This problem is unique to phpMyAdmin and I am truly stumped.  I have 
been through all of the documentation and I have searched Google for 
hours.  I have found MANY reports of this same issue, but none have 
found the cause (some wiped everything and reinstalled with success, but 
that is not an option).


So, does anybody here with experience with this piece of software have a 
suggestion as to its cause?


Thanks in advance,

Tom Veldhouse

unable to write data to disk ad0

 Hello,

I have a FreeBSD 6.0 system on i386. I would like to add a new label on

If I try to add a new slice (ad0s1g,  mount point: /shares 
size:20031MB,  UFS2+S) then I get this message:


unable to write data to disk ad0

I also tried to do the same with the bsdlabel utility, but it has so

are too confusing to me. I do not want to accidentally overwrite my good 
partitions.
Can somebody tell me a simple way to add a new label? Then I guess I 
need to format it with


newfs /dev/ad0s1g

and finally mount it. Please help.

FreeBSD 6 - Do i need both CD1 and CD2 ?

[FlashWebHost.com]

Hi,

I am using FreeBSD 5.2 on my local computer.

I want to upgrade to FreeBSD 6.0

Do i need to download both files ?

ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/ISO-IMAGES/6.0/6.0-RELEASE-i386-disc1.iso
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/ISO-IMAGES/6.0/6.0-RELEASE-i386-disc2.iso

Or first ISO will do the installation ?

Since i am on slow net, downloading both will take few days to finish. I
don't need GUI, just FreeBSD black and white installation :-)

Anyone know where i can purchase FreeBSD 6 CD in india ?

Regards,

Yujin

dd is generally not a good choice for copying disks (although it 
does sort of work). The new disk will appear unclean when copied 
from a live fs and may in fact have an odd instance of a file 
which has not yet been physically updated. 

And it just takes too long since you copy empty space as well as 
real data.

Instead slice, partition the new disk and create newfs on the new 
partitions.

And then pipe dump (using the snapshot option) through to restore 
for each fs on the disks.
I have (successfully) used this approach extensively for cloning 
systems.

Re: How to bind ntpd to a single address?

Darren Pilgrim wrote:

I don't like (let alone want) ntpd binding to every IP address on the host.
The man pages don't say anything about specifying a binding address for
ntpd.  A search of the sources and Google also failed to reveal anything

So how to I tell ntpd to bind to a specific IP address?


ntpd doesn't have that functionality I'm afraid.  The next best you can do
is review your /etc/ntpd.conf 'restrict' rules carefully and implement a
firewall to control access to port 123/UDP.  NTP is not usually counted as
much of a security risk, and the benefits of running it certainly do outweigh
the risks.

Also don't connect the ipod untill you have X running. Connecting the
ipod and then running KDE will hang the system. Start KDE and then ALT
+ CTRL + F1 to get to the console and then connect it... jump back to
X (ALT + F9) to mount the drive "mount_msdosfs /dev/da0s2 /mnt/ipod"
and then everything should be good to go for amaroK to use it. I use
umount and "camcontrol eject da0" before I unplug it, but it still
seems to hang the system. Oh.. and it's not as "rapid" as I said
before. Connect the ipod then disconnect it... wait for error(s) then
reconnect it. rinse and repeat until you get device da0... It's all
about your timing Is their something wrong in the FreeBSD code?
Anyways.

Why don't you try out monit(/usr/ports/sysutils/monit) in the ports? It can
do that and much more and yet is very easy to configure.

Install the nagios-plugins port. It has scripts to do both of those
things (and more). If you want even more functionality, check out the
full nagios package.

Re: Kernel Compilation...

As a ball-park estimate, figure 1Gb when you need to update.
Assuming you have a high-speed connection, I would rebuild
world and kernel per the handbook.  After installing and testing the
new system I would save the kernel config file elsewhere and delete
/usr/src and /usr/obj.  THe next time you need to rebuild you'll
need to clear the disk and download the entire source tree, but
you'll have the disk available until then.


Basically I had just installed 6.0-RELEASE from the CD, got the kernel sources 
 from an ftp server (using sysinstall) and then proceded to build the kernel 
as I mentioned in another post (traditional method).  Basically you're saying 
I should grab the entire source tree and then build everything before the 
kernel?  Just checking before I go ahead...having said that as it's a clean 
install there's nothing too vital on the system so won't matter to much if I 
trash it.

check script for tcp connection

[Halid Faith]

Hello 

I use FreeBSD6.0. I want to use a script to check two or more case. 
My first cases are as below;
First case My Server will check the remote ip address alive or not as icmp 
Second case My server will connect to other remote ip address as tcp protocol 
like connected or not.

if my server could not see the remote ip address AND not connect tcp 
connection, My server will send an email me.

How can I write a simple script about that ?

Thanks

Re: FreeBSD 6.0 AMD64 Dont Detect My PCIExpress Card...? Radeon X300.

  Hi people.
I have this motherboard:

http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_detail.php?UID=652

   K8N Neo4 AMD64

   I install freebsd 6.0 AMD64, the installation was easy. The
problema is my VGA card is one PCIExpress ATI Radeon X300, i install
suse 10 on the same computer and suse detect the card, i say if suse
can bsd can, but no :-(


There is no reason for this conclusion.


, on the BIOS i dont have the option PnP OS =
YES or NO, i have 2 options for the VGA card:
PCIE or PCI, and IRQ Auto and Manual, i test both Auto and Manual, but
still didnt detect my card.


What do you mean with detection of the card? How do you determine 
whether the card has been detected or not?



I read the NOTES file and found two options:

drm
radeondrm


These are for 3D support, but "man radeon" says that your card isn't 
supported in this regard by this driver.



[...]

   If iam correct pci5 is my the PCIE card...? But dont see nothing
that say PCIExpress Card...?


This is not a problem because PCI express devices appear as regular PCI 
devices.



   I have 2 options, find another VGA card compatible with freebsd or
continue locking for help and maybe the results would not be good ?


Buy an Nvidia card if you need 3D support necessarily, because Nvidia 
offers drivers for FreeBSD. ATI does not; they support Linux only.


The third option would be to do it without 3D support. This should work 
always. If you have problems with configuring the X Window Server then 
/var/log/Xorg.0.log might be helpful. :-)



   Another thing is that, if i compile the GENERIC kernel deleting
some fields but let the 3 options for Firewire support, make send me
errors and dosent finish...?

[...]


Most likely you deleted some options that are necessary for firewire 
support. I can't say more unless you tell the error message and your 
kernel configuration file.

Björn

Thanks for the tar pointer.  Got to copy over /home here to
the new box and run several into /usr/tmp.  Thanks to everybody
for ideas.  I don't want to stress things until something
*melts*... but some reasonably hard use.  I'm using three or 
four benchmarks, and a couple of my own tests.  xload and top
show that the results are a fair simulation of real-world use.
Should know by the 22nd!
