Re: Configuration of Grub?

I tried, but it still does not work.

Grub is giving a "file not found" message. If I understand it right it 
searches the /boot/loader on my Linux hard disk.

I have found loader and loader.conf on the FreeBSD installation disk can I 
just copy them?

build problems with gnupg-1.4.6_1,intltool-0.35.1

[bf]

I've had problems building the ports gnupg-1.4.6_1 and
intltool-0.35.1 using 'portmanager -u', or 'make
install' in the appropriate directories of my ports
tree.  I keep encountering the messages(my comments in
[] are not part of the message):

WARNING: `automake-1.9' is missing on your system. You
should only need it if you modified `Makefile.am'[or
another such file], ...

and

WARNING: `autoconf' is missing on your system.  You
should only need it if you modified `configure.in' [or
another such file]...

which are repeated as the build seems to go into an
infinite loop.  I haven't modified these files (at
least manually), and I've the following packages
installed on my system:

autoconf-2.13.000227_5
autoconf-2.53_3
autoconf-2.59_2
autoconf-2.61
automake-1.4.6_2
automake-1.5_2,1
automake-1.9.6
gmake-3.81_1
gnu-autoconf-2.61
gnu-automake-1.10

I'm running FreeBSD-6.1-RELEASE.  Are these problems
caused by the recent update of the gnu-autoconf and
gnu-automake ports, that dispensed with
gnu-autoconf-2.59 and gnu-automake-1.9, which may have
been used to set up the latest gnupg and intltool
ports?  I'm confused about how my system is dealing
with all these versions of autoconf and automake --
this is not the first time they've caused problems --
surely there's a better way to handle this, that
doesn't require these redundancies, and create build
problems?  Is there a good way to work around these
problems?

Optical PS/2 Mouse ???

[P.U.Kruppa]

Hi,

I invested 5 EUR in a nice Optical PS/2 mouse and I can't get it 
working with FreeBSD, neither on console nor on xorg.
The mousepointer will only show up once on screen and then 
seems to vanish somewhere in the lower border.

Of course the thing works wonderfully when I boot into windows.

Does anyone have a working configuration ???

Thanks,

Uli.

I have a nice Optical PS/2 mouse and it works fine both on console and
on xorg.
But I use FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE

psm0:  irq 12 on atkbdc0
psm0: [GIANT-LOCKED]
psm0: model IntelliMouse, device ID 3

There are the following hints:

hint.psm.0.at="atkbdc"
hint.psm.0.irq="12"

I did not touch any hint since standard installation, and the kernel
detects the mouse as IntelliMouse.

strange locale issue

[dick hoogendijk]

# login.conf
#
me:\
:charset=iso-8859-1:\
:lang=en_US.ISO8859-1:
# :lang=nl_NL.ISO8859-1:

I've a strange issue. My wife runs with lang=nl_NL.ISO8859-1 and she
experiences weird dropouts when she types text into Abiword.

I upgraded to the latest ports but the issue was still there. Then I
thought: what's different in my login and hers. Two things: I use fvwm2
and she uses KDE and het login_conf differs.

So I changed her :lang=xxx" setting to en_US and Abiword reacts OK.

Does anybody have any clue on what can be the cause of this?
My wife likes the Dutch menu's and so on ;-)

  Try booting in single user mode, and then unmounting all
units:
  # umount -a
  # fsck -y
  # mount -a

  If the last command goes well, the file system check is 
done...

tip(1) connect to another host with serial cable: vim display junk text

[张韡武]

Hello List.

This is another stupid frequent question that might already get answered
a thousand times, but I cannot do effective googles because the word
'tip' is too general.

Local host is freebsd 6.1, remote host is Gentoo Linux. Both connected
through serial cable on COM1. Now I wish to control Linux with my
FreeBSD. This command can let me login to the Linux host

$ tip com1

But after I logged in I found using VIM would create junk text. It seems
VIM do not know my terminal is very wide (more then 130 characters per
line).

So, how do I fix it? Google did give me a lot of 'tips' but none of them
is related to my problem...

Best Regards

has ANYONE used FreeBSD read Chinese directories from a Windows Share? (was: Re: (repost) cannot read windows share)

[张韡武]

If our understanding to the current problem is correct (that FreeBSD
kernel iconv currently have problem with double-bit character-set), then
there should have never been FreeBSD users that can actually mount and
access a Windows Share that:
 I. is using GB2312 locale (that is, Windows Simplified Chinese
version);
II. have Chinese character in folder names

X server remote login

[dick hoogendijk]

I run solaris and FreeBSD. In solaris I can login on a remote machine
with an X session. I can't see my freebsd machine though. I have no idea
where the config to make this possible resides on FreeBSD. I guess X
runs without broadcasting itself on fbsd. How can I change this?

Example network protocol implementation

[Vishal Patil]

Could someone point me to an example that shows a SIMPLE network protocol
implemented over TCP/IP inside the FreeBSD kernel. I think I could look at

there a guide explaining how to go about developing TCP/IP based network

I tried, but it still does not work.

Grub is giving a "file not found" message. If I understand it right it
searches the /boot/loader on my Linux hard disk.

I have found loader and loader.conf on the FreeBSD installation disk can I
just copy them?



What are you using now for your menu.lst? Still this?...

title FreeBSD
 root (hd3,0)
 chainloader +1

I can almost guarantee that you have your 'root' specified incorrectly. You
should have something similar to the following (as mentioned earlier by
Pieter):

title FreeBSD
   root (hd0,1,a)
   kernel /boot/loader

Unlike a Linux boot entry, you have to specify the 'a' portion of 'root' in
the menu.lst config. And remember that 'hd0' is defining exactly which hard
drive you have FreeBSD installed on (in this example, the first hard drive),
and '1' refers to the partition (in this example, the second partition). The
'a' will not have to be changed, assuming you performed a standard FreeBSD
installation as this is the slice / is installed on by default. Give it
another try with this info and reply back if you still have trouble. If you
reply back, please include 1.) the hard drive and 2.) the partition you
installed FreeBSD on.

P.S. Welcome to FreeBSD! :)

Re: X server remote login

By default in FreeBSD X doesn't listen for TCP requests.  To change this do:
startx -listen_tcp

NFS normally runs over UDP, not TCP.  Telnet is one of the simpler
TCP-based applications, but it is not done in the kernel (nor are
most network apps).  Is there some particular reason why you need
an example that is implemented inside the kernel, vs in userland?

Thank you. But can this be made "permanent" somewhere?
I guess the tcp port (6000?) should be made inaccessible to the outside
world.

I tried this with (hd3,0,a) and (hd3,1,a).
It didn't work.

I got a message like: disk is not existing (don't remember the exact message)

If I understood right the hdd in Linux translates to ad3 in FreeBSD?

hdd/ad3 I used all the disk for FreeBSD and I used the automatic 
configuration.

Right now Linux can not read the FreeBSD disk. Does FreeBSD have its own 
filesystem?
Ans if it has its own filesystem how can grub read the /boot/loader in there?

Do I have to copy the loader on my Linux drive, configure it there so FreeBSD 
can then start?

Is there any other way to start the system on that disk? From the install-CD 
maybe?

How can I fix "Cannot find file system superblock" problem?

[FK]

Dear list members,

How can I fix "Cannot find file system superblock" problem?

I thought there would be a solution on the Internet, and
googled but could not find one yet. 
I hope you would have some hints. Thank you.

Background:
FreeBSD6.0-RELEASE.

What I did:

#fsck_ffs /dev/da0s2a

gmake upgrade

[Grzegorz Danecki]

Hello list!

it may be a stupid question, but i'm a little bit scared before gmake
upgrade. I'm not using portupgrade, everything is build from the ports tree,
so, when some package is old, and there is newer version in ports, then make
all && make deinstall && make install && make clean. It works pretty fine
for now. But what about gmake?
Will I be able to compile new gmake sources when I'll do `make deinstall in
/usr/ports/devel/gmake` first?

Few details:

pkg_version | grep "<"
gmake   <

pkg_info | grep gmake
gmake-3.80_2GNU version of 'make' utility

the latest version in my ports tree is make-3.81

The system is FreeBSD 6.1 Release with latest patches

it can be a problem like chmod -x /bin/chmod, but maybe You have an idea?

TIA, thanks also for Your great job and merry x-mas! :)

As far as make goes, that won't be a problem, gmake isn't present in the
base as you can see, bsd make is used for ports etc, gmake is only
installed if a port needs it.

gmake does not require gmake to build.  If it did, how could you build
it for the first time?

Re: Configuration of Grub?

[David Stanford]

I tried this with (hd3,0,a) and (hd3,1,a).
It didn't work.

I got a message like: disk is not existing (don't remember the exact
message)



See below.

If I understood right the hdd in Linux translates to ad3 in FreeBSD?


> 1.) the hard drive and 2.)
> the partition you installed FreeBSD on.

hdd/ad3 I used all the disk for FreeBSD and I used the automatic
configuration.



ad3 may be (and probably is) correct for you, but this has no relationship
with the 'hdx' format that Grub uses. Using 'hd3' in your Grub config would
suggest that you have installed FreeBSD on the fourth (counting 0, 1, 2, 3)
hard drive on your machine. If you have only one hard drive on your machine
and have installed FreeBSD on it, you would have to use 'hd0' (the *first*
hard drive) in your config. You would use 'hd1' if you installed on your
second hard drive, and so on. I would guess, since you mentioned ad3, that
you have installed FreeBSD on a second hard drive; if so, try the following:

title FreeBSD
   root (hd1,0,a)
   kernel /boot/loader

Right now Linux can not read the FreeBSD disk. Does FreeBSD have its own

filesystem?



Yes, by default FreeBSD uses UFS2. There is almost certainly a third party
app out there that will allow you to read UFS2 from Linux if this is what
you want to do at some point. You can also check 'man mount' under SUSE to
see if there is built-in support for mounting UFS2 filesystems (though this
is probably a long shot).

Ans if it has its own filesystem how can grub read the /boot/loader in

there?



SUSE may not be able to read it, but remember that Grub is independent (so
to speak) from Linux and has support for booting *BSD OS's.

Do I have to copy the loader on my Linux drive, configure it there so

FreeBSD
can then start?



No, not at all. Like I said, I'm sure your error is in your menu.lst 'root'
config. Many people have dual-boot Linux/FreeBSD setups, and I myself used
to have a Gentoo/FreeBSD/Windows setup using Grub way back, and copying
files from one filesystem to another was never necessary.

Is there any other way to start the system on that disk? From the install-CD

maybe?



Hmm, never tried. You may have to use FreeSBIE for something like this, but,
again, try your config first.

Good luck!

You have to tell the applications the correct terminal settings, meaning 
number of rows and columns. With ssh or something similar this is done 
automatically, with tty you would set it on FreeBSD like 'stty rows 25 cols 
80'.
'stty -a' shows some tty settings, including rows and columns.
Alternately you could set some environment variables for vi, but that doen't 
work for all applications, so stty is prefered.

If you are not running named, you have no cache to flush :)

It might be worthwhile to check one of these identical "alternates"
against the "real" superblock.  (AFAIK only the first 512 bytes, or
less, actually matter.)  You might also post a dump of the first 512
bytes and see if anyone notices anything.

Incorrect. If you installed the filesystem on ad3s1, it should be:

root (hd3,0,a)

Many people goof up GRUB by accident because it's numbering system is
zero-based and linux-like to a certain extent, so /dev/hda in Linux
translates to hd0 in GRUB, which is also ad0 in FreeBSD.

The second argument refers to the partition itself (which may or may not
be 0), and the third argument refers to the slice.

So, in /dev/ad0s1a, this would translate to what I show shortly, in Grub:

root (hd0,0,a)


Another method for accomplishing the same thing from info grub. This may
or may not be outdated information:

4.2.3 FreeBSD
- -

GRUB can load the kernel directly, either in ELF or a.out format. But
this is not recommended, since FreeBSD's bootstrap interface sometimes
changes heavily, so GRUB can't guarantee to pass kernel parameters
correctly.

   Thus, we'd recommend loading the very flexible loader `/boot/loader'
instead. See this example:

 grub> root (hd0,a)
 grub> kernel /boot/loader
 grub> boot

UFS2 is supported with a custom kernel IIRC. So, you'll have to
recompile a kernel from sources on your Suse system.

Grub knows how to deal with different filesystem formats, but this may
or may not be due to the fact that it depends upon other things
available in the kernel that it bootstraps (grub has 2 boot stages). I
will have to look into this a bit further..

No. Set it up on linux, making sure that you reference the correct
locations for kernels, and root disks, and you will be fine. If you have
a (GRUB) bootloader setup from Linux, configure everything from there;
don't worry about configuring any other bootloader in any OS, since
everything else is managed by your Linux bootloader.

You can try booting from the grub shell as well (similar to bash). It
should say what the relevant key to enter in for entering the shell (C,
E, etc). Entering in the individual commands as noted above ("root...
loader") will help you test boot your FreeBSD OS.

Thank you, I stand corrected. Not sure what I was thinking there... :)

Many people goof up GRUB by accident because it's numbering system is

zero-based and linux-like to a certain extent, so /dev/hda in Linux
translates to hd0 in GRUB, which is also ad0 in FreeBSD.



This now leads me to a thought: does Grub count only *existing* hard drives
on your system or does it count the hard drive channels on your system? In
this case, Karl says he has installed FreeBSD on ad3, which makes me think
he has installed on a second SATA drive (more likely that on a fourth hard
drive I would think), and FreeBSD has counted two IDE channels as ad0 and
ad1, and two SATA channels as ad2 and ad3. If this is the case, and Grub
counts only the *existing* drives on his system, then he would have to use
(hd1,0,a), no? This would also explain the "disk is not existing" error he
was recieving.

I'd be interested in hearing thoughts (or facts ;) on this as I hate being
left confused... :)

This worked. 

But I have to say, I don't know why. 
It is the third harddisk in the system, and it's definitifly the slave on the 
second IDE-port.

During the installation I had to identify the disk with ad3.

How can grub mix the harddisks up and set this one to hd1?
Is there any logic behind?

Anyway I already have the next problem: How to start KDE
But I'll check the Handbook first and start a new thread if I don't manage.

Thanks for all the help and information

Good question; not sure about that one, since the BIOS may or may not
count the EIDE channels as 0 and 1, and the SATA as 2 and 3. Needless to
say, this little numbering scheme with grub has become confusing, esp
with the introduction of new technology (SATA) >.>. Not sure how
numbering would work with SCSI either (something I should try sometime),
because I don't know how the BIOS numbers drives with SCSI cards or SATA
drives put into the mix.

As an example, I'll use my Linux box (which has just EIDE drives in it):

Filesystem (as basis for understanding what's going on):
sprsd gcooper # fdisk -l

Disk /dev/hda: 80.0 GB, 800 bytes
16 heads, 63 sectors/track, 155009 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 1008 * 512 = 516096 bytes

   Device Boot  Start End  Blocks   Id  System
/dev/hda1   1   18601 9374872+  83  Linux
Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary.
/dev/hda2   18602   20799 1107508+  83  Linux
Partition 2 does not end on cylinder boundary.
/dev/hda3   *   20799   53311163863007  HPFS/NTFS
Partition 3 does not end on cylinder boundary.
/dev/hda4   53311  15500951255823+   5  Extended
Partition 4 does not end on cylinder boundary.
/dev/hda5   53312   53427   58432+  83  Linux
/dev/hda6   53428  15500951197328   83  Linux

For determining what's what, he could just load up the grub shell and
type in...

grub> root (hd0,0)
 Filesystem type is reiserfs, partition type 0x83

Note that it says what the partition type is and so you have an idea of
where you are and what's going on. Yet, GRUB's understanding is limited
because it doesn't directly understand NTFS, and hence I think that's
what the chainloader command is present when booting Windows since it
passes the ball for loading the OS to NTLDR (although a more technical
document could help tell why):

grub> root (hd0,1)
 Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0x83

Hmmm.  
   RECONNECT?  no
   ADJUST? no
   CLEAR?  no
Why are you responding 'no' to each prompt to fix things?
If you keep doing that it will never get the file systems cleared up.

Re: X server remote login

[Tony Shadwick]

I have to apologize, as I've never had x11 start automatically for me 
anyplace.  That said, you need to understand that the server/client 
relationship for X11 is backwards to what you might expect.  The 
display, keyboard, and mouse are at the x-server side, and the machine 
you connect to is the X-client.


On the xserver, if you want it to happen automatically, you would put 
startx in your .login file.  So if you wanted that flag passed, you 
would place startx -listen_tcp in your .login file.


On the client side, you're running an x-client, I presume that gets 
started from /etc/rc.conf.  There's probably something like 
xorg_enable="YES", and xorg_flags="blah", and you would put it in your 
xorg_flags statement.

Thank you. But can this be made "permanent" somewhere?
I guess the tcp port (6000?) should be made inaccessible to the outside
world.

  Try looking at telnet(1) and telnetd(8) source code, also

This worked.

But I have to say, I don't know why.
It is the third harddisk in the system, and it's definitifly the slave on
the
second IDE-port.

During the installation I had to identify the disk with ad3.

How can grub mix the harddisks up and set this one to hd1?
Is there any logic behind?



Can't definitively explain this one. I'm assuming your first IDE port has a
CD/DVD drive and the first disk?  The *only* guess I have is that Grub, in
fact, does only count existing hard drives and didn't find one of the first
two (for whatever reason). Other than that, I got nothing. Anyway, glad you
got it working.

Anyway I already have the next problem: How to start KDE

But I'll check the Handbook first and start a new thread if I don't
manage.

Good question; not sure about that one, since the BIOS may or may not
count the EIDE channels as 0 and 1, and the SATA as 2 and 3. Needless to
say, this little numbering scheme with grub has become confusing, esp
with the introduction of new technology (SATA) >.>. Not sure how
numbering would work with SCSI either (something I should try sometime),
because I don't know how the BIOS numbers drives with SCSI cards or SATA
drives put into the mix.



Another good point. I suppose it's documented somewhere, but who has time to
RTFM? :)

Printing (Trying)

I have been trying to get my Canon Pixma iP5000 to print on FreeBSD.I used 
Apsfilter cause apparently its more user friendly then CUPS. I when through all

it printed, but it came out as an A5 size (is that normal?) on the A4. It had 
everything it should have on the test print so i did the I command, gave it the 
name lp and then Q command and read what came after.I did the:lpc restart 
alland came out with this:lp:no daemon to abortprinting enabled 
   daemon restartedif i do it again it would come the same as above.I then

Erm... although I don't mind the examples, the documentation for GRUB
seems a bit lacking (manpage yields almost nothing, but there's a bit in
"info grub").

Though, specifics like this aren't really explained.

NFS normally runs over UDP, not TCP.  Telnet is one of the simpler
TCP-based applications, but it is not done in the kernel (nor are
most network apps).  Is there some particular reason why you need
an example that is implemented inside the kernel, vs in userland?

BREAK_TO_DEBUGGER over an SSH connection ... what is the sequence?

[Marc G. Fournier]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1


I swore I had it saved here somewhere, but can't seem to find it in my 
mailboxes :(

I have an HP Proliant DL360 G4p server (well, a few, actually), that allow for 
getting a remote console via ssh ... I have DDB/KDB enabled on the server, just 
like my other 'non-HP' boxes, and need to break into DDB over the SSH session 
...

Checking the man page for ssh, it seems to indicate that ~B should do it, but 
it doesn't ... so I'm obviously missing something, but what?

This is what happens when I try the ~B after logging into the remcons from my 
desktop here:


login:  ~B
dispatch_protocol_error: type 100 seq 73
buffer_get_ret: trying to get more bytes 4 than in buffer 0
buffer_get_int: buffer error
>

As expected, ~? does work, and lists ~B:

login:  ~?
Supported escape sequences:
~.  - terminate connection
~B  - send a BREAK to the remote system
~C  - open a command line
~R  - Request rekey (SSH protocol 2 only)
~^Z - suspend ssh
~#  - list forwarded connections
~&  - background ssh (when waiting for connections to terminate)
~?  - this message
~~  - send the escape character by typing it twice
(Note that escapes are only recognized immediately after newline.)

I've tried CR~B and that makes no difference either ... same 
'dispatch_protocol_error' as above :(

Help and thanks ...

If you are not running named, you have no cache to flush :)

Is there away to cache dns for faster lookup, I don't run named? I use DHCP.

[ to implement iSCSI in the kernel ]

I'm unsure which side you wish to be on.

There's accept filters that you can write, but I doubt that's what you
want to do.  This would be good if you are implementing an iSCSI
target on FreeBSD, maybe (then again, maybe not).

If you want to be an iSCSI initiator (I think that's the right term),
then you'll need to do things similar to what
sys/nfsclient/nfs_socket.c does.  I could do a quick code walkthrough,
but you'd likely be better off studying the nfs code since it will
give you a better understanding than I can in a few lines.  In
addition, because locking has changed over time, the exact version
matters.  Careful study will show differences in what locks are
needed, if any.

But in a nutshell, you call socreate to get a socket.  You setup the
various fields in the socket data structures.  You call sosetopt to do
the latter.  sobind will set this host's endpoint, and soconnect will
connect the socket to the remote side.  You'll need to setup send and
receive buffers and manage them with soreceive and sosend.  there's
some callbacks that also need to be established as well.  And some
socket layer locking that may be exposed to your code because there
are so few in-kernel protocol implementations that aren't peers to
TCP, UDP or IP.

I hope this helps.

Warner
