Time changed back to old daylight savings

[Don O'Neil]

I'm not sure when this happened, but I noticed today that my server reverted
back to the old daylight savings time (1 hour off) When I run ntpdate
and have it update it even then it shows the wrong time. 

I haven't done anything to replace the /etc/localtime file, even tried
running tzsetup again, but that still didn't help. 

My system is FreeBSD 6.1-stable, the only thing that has changed since I
last noticed the system had the _right_ time was I built a new kernel.

I tried installing the port 'zoneinfo', but it's broken, it can't find the
appropriate file to download and install (seems to be missing or updated).

At the moment I've addressed the issue with a "date -v +1H".

Any reason this would happen? How do I fix it?

Hmm. Well, there's no such port in FBSD. There is such a port, however, 
available from Absolute FBSD. So I d/l'd it and all the "required to build" 
products. I checked to see if libtool15 was built on my system. It was, so I 
didn't bother with that. I built out fusefs-libs, then fusefs-kmod, all 
successfully. However, when I tried to compile fusefs-ntfs, I got an error and 
was referred to the d/l page < http://freeports.org/sysutils/fusefs-ntfs > for 
information...which only seems to tell me I need to build the other products 
(which I just built) first. Perhaps this doesn't work on FBSD?
TIA,

when i come across those, i always just take the defaults.
one time i tried to tell it what i thought, and i built myself
into an endless loop of 'run pkgdb -F's.  eventually i had
to just delete a few things, reinstall a few things to correct
it.  ever since then, i just do what it says and hope for the
best.  9 out of 10, it guesses right for me.



Not to put too fine a point on it, but
pkgdb(1) et al are part of an occasionally
tempermental third party package
management system.  Built on ruby.

Obviously, as I am not about to batter you
about the neck and head with the beam projecting
from my eye (hold still, you've got a . . .),
I can only suggest a decent cringe&pray
manouver (as I execute from time to time),
and a stout attempt to wean oneself off,
albeit
% portupgrade -fr blorf*
is quite seductive, nearly doubly so when
blorf* is actually gettext.arg.bah.

ports-mgmt/portmaster disposes with the
hairy databases and leering dependancies
at the cost of being slightly less . . . err, come
to think of it, after a bit of man page perusal
I cannot think of anything that I use portupgrade
for that portmaster seems to be missing.  YMMV
as usual.

Well, portmaster seems to have rather different
notions of how flags apply than do I (it seems to
enjoy recusring through dependancies when I was
nearly certain I did not set that flag, several times)
but with training my computer is teaching me what
is right and what is not.  I think.

USB Mass Storage Device mount issues

[Carl Thomas]

I am trying to mount a file system that can not be reformatted or
repartitioned, else the necessary files on it would be destroyed with it (I
am using a digital music device which has proprietary software necessary for
its use).

I am getting errors when connecting the device.

*Here is my usbdevs -v:*
Controller /dev/usb0:
addr 1: full speed, self powered, config 1, OHCI root hub(0x),
nVidia(0x000$
port 1 addr 2: full speed, power 90 mA, config 1, Dell USB Keyboard

port 4 powered
Controller /dev/usb1:
addr 1: full speed, self powered, config 1, OHCI root hub(0x),

*here is my dmesg:*

umass0: BBB reset failed, STALLED
umass0: BBB reset failed, STALLED

On top of all this, the drive, when located in /dev/ is da0, but there's no
partitions on it, making me very confused as to how to be able to put files
onto this drive!

I try mount_msdosfs (because i believe it is a dos file system as per some
clue i got trying to mount it, but i can't remember where... and it just
hangs until i turn off the device.

Can anyone help or at least point me in the right direction? Is there
something i'm missing or is there a tool I can use?

Perhaps mounting it as a raw disk? Any help would be appreciated.

Stale's like "lost", but IIRC the entry is still there or the current

Hehe.. fun... it appears that I probably got myself into a real mess

Asus motherboard full of nForce stuff :(..). Oh well, I've learned my

In this case the port p5-Authen-SASL-2.09 is linked to p5-GSSAPI-0.24, 
but security/ p5-GSSAPI-0.24 doesn't exist. thus it's a "stale 
dependency".

It then searches what ports you do have installed and picks what it 
thinks is closest. In this case p5-Geography-Countries-1.4. the score 
is how close a match to the original dependency this choice is. In 
this case 26% which isn't a very good match.

([y]es/[n]o/[a]ll) [no] means "Do I want to change the link to what's

p5-GSSAPI-0.24 is found answer yes. And finally the last [no] is the 
default. Hitting enter will use this answer unless you change it.

Unless you're sure of the replacement choice (it's just a version

not sure, choose "no" and hit enter. It will then ask you if you want

Well this one is pretty obvious. Look at what the stale dependency is,

tsclient removed from SuSE?

I recall that there had been tsclient come with SuSE 9.x.

Now I am using SuSE 10.2. I cannot find tsclient in the SuSE standard
repository nor in packman. (Can I know why this is removed?)

tsclient is not important to me, because I always use "vncviewer"
commandline. But we are in a company and I don't like to frighten away
my colleagues by telling them when they want a remote desktop session
(e.g. discuss a contact) they have to start gnome-terminal and type
something there (and, I am sure many of them will type wrongly, with
incorrect placed space ett, because they don't know how to use command

To accept vnc session is easy, go to Control Center and click "Remote
Desktop". To start vnc session does one have to use command-line?

Yes I can create a desktop shortcut for them so that they can directly

Well this one is pretty obvious. Look at what the stale dependency is,
and what it's suggesting? :)

Sometimes it can be less clear, though. You just have to take a best
guess, or look at the dependencies for the installed package with
pkg_info.

at this point, i would just enter net-mgmt/net-snmp, and go ahead and do a 
'make deinstall', then  'make reinstall' (or actually, i always 'make install 
clean', every time, no matter what).  realistically, net-snmp is probably 
already built right now, and would probably just have to do the final install 
and register after the make deinstall.

hehe believe me... you could be having much worse problems right now with cacti!

I can't say I've used that option lately, but I'm pretty sure that what you're 
experiencing occurs because stuff a) gets moved or b) gets removed. Versioned 
port like lib/libnet10 for instance gets replaced by lib/libnet11 in the future 
for instance.

You shouldn't really have to do something like this more than once a month

The new doesn't overwrite the old.

Portupgrade removes the the old version before installing the new, and
if the new version fails to install, it restores the old version from a
backup package.

Possibly you have two net-snmp packages installed.  Another cause of
this is an incorrectly specified dependency, where net-snmp doesn't
actually provide the file that's used to determine whether net-snmp
needs to be built. Or there may have been a problem with the pkg_delete
of the old version.

Which FreeBSD version are you running?  In 6.X the devs are created 
automatically on bootup.  In earlier versions you may need to make 
it.  Look at the Makefile in /dev for the correct make option.

If you have csup-ed new stuff or if you need some other driver in
the kernel, then you need to build one.  But otherwise, don't do it
if the kernel you are running is working fine.

Maybe you misunderstand Xorg.   It is the Xwindows system.  You need it.
But you want either/and a windows manager or/and a desktop manager.
So far you probably have only the simple windows manager that gets
installed along with Xorg (I think it is TWM) which is extremely minimal.

There are a number of windows managers such as AfterStep (which I have 
been using) or XZfce which some people are now seeming to like.  You
can install them from ports and then you have to configure them to
your liking.

KDE (and gnome) is a desktop manager which includes a window manager.
But, it still uses Xorg to do the windows as far as I know.
You should be able to enter the command 'startkde' to run it.  
You could also tinker around and get it to start automatically when
you log in, but there might be times you don't want it to and typing
startkde is pretty easy.

I find kde to be rather overkill for my purposes.  It is too much of
an attempt to replace [be like] MS-Win and I ain't interested in
anything being like that.  I just want things to run and do what I
tell them.But many people like all the extra things that are
included in KDE, so check it out and decide for yourself.  Gnome
seems to be even more overkill so I've only tried to install and
run it once, several generations ago for those reasons.

Try /usr/ports/sysutils/fusefs-ntfs instead. It's newer and is supposed
to support writing.

There's FAT32, which is well-known and supported, but wastes space on

What I meant was; if the drive is mounted and you type 'mount' at the
command prompt, you get a list of all mounts. If they are read-only, it
says so there.

Re: Linux "equivalent" to freebsd

[Jeff Rollin]

Hi.

On 01/03/07, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

Hi,

Sorry this question is a little off-topic...

We've been using Freebsd for many years and all of our servers are running
freebsd.

The only thing that is a pain with freebsd, is poor commercial support :(

We are running in a situation where a customer needs Zend platform 3
(http://www.zend.com/products/zend_platform) which won't be available for
freebsd until the end of the year...

So I will need to setup a machine with linux.

I don't know much about linux distributions, could someone recommend one to
me please.

We are looking for a platform that will support amd64 extensions, will act
as a console only server and that has a good way to install ports and
upgrade. We want something secure and stable. We don't wanna go with Redhat
or any commercial distribution.

I really like the cvsup/make install/portupgrade way of dealing with
software installation and updates and I am looking for something equivalent
on a linux distribution.

Could you recommend a distribution you are using in production, we've check
ubuntu, fedora and Debian, but I wonder what freebsd users recommend...

Thanks




The Zend vendor (Zendor?!) is most likely to support Redhat but if you
are feeling brave or lucky you could try Gentoo, for which I'll add my
vote. Slackware and Arch are nice too but Slackware leaves all the
compiling and installing to you (unless you use one of the packages
like slapt-get, etc., which aren't the "official" solution for
installing packages) and when I tried it, Arch (a) had a smaller
package selection than Gentoo and (b) had less complete documentation.

Debian is good too if you have supported hardware (I've found their hw
support not to be as good as say Gentoo's or Arch's) but if you prefer
freebsd ports to packages then you may wish to avoid it, as although
apt-get appears to have a mechanism for installing from source, it
looks complicated cf. Gentoo's.

understanding this portupgrade error

[Michael P. Soulier]

Hi,

I'm upgrading cacti, and it's failing on the net-snmp port. 

===>  Installing for net-snmp-5.3.1_2
===>   net-snmp-5.3.1_2 depends on file: /usr/local/bin/perl5.8.8 - found
===>   Generating temporary packing list
===>  Checking if net-mgmt/net-snmp already installed
===>   An older version of net-mgmt/net-snmp is already installed
(net-snmp-5.2.3_4)
  You may wish to ``make deinstall'' and install this port again
  by ``make reinstall'' to upgrade it properly.
  If you really wish to overwrite the old port of net-mgmt/net-snmp
  without deleting it first, set the variable "FORCE_PKG_REGISTER"
  in your environment or the "make install" command line.
*** Error code 1

I'm confused. Of course an older version is installed, that's why it's called
an upgrade. 

Why is this happening? 

Thanks,
Mike

Yes, Eric, you're right, it is an NTFS drive. Didn't know there was any other 
kind ;) I installed ntfsprogs and read the man, but couldn't find the command 
ntfsmount anywhere in my system! I'm not even sure that's the command I need, 
but where is it?!

I read the above page, and all I got out of it is this:

Driver allows to mount NTFS volumes under FreeBSD and NetBSD. We also support 
limited writing ability: you can write into not comressed files without holes, 
but you can't change the size of file yet. Write support was made to swap on 
NTFS volume.

So, apparently, there is "limited" write ability, but I have no idea what that 
means. Even when I try to copy a simple README file over, I can't. Seems like 
it's "really" limited in its write ability!

How do I find out if it's FAT32? I'm running XP. Also, what do you mean "set 
new permissions"? The permissions are set to "rw". Isn't that good enough?

Roland writes:

I unmounted, typed "mount /win" and it just gave me a prompt. But the command I 
really need to use, if I understand correctly, is "mount_ntfs /dev/ad0s1 /win".

How is the drive mounted? If you type "mount" does it show the drive to
be mounted read-only?

It is OK, but I would encourage you to download the latest RELEASE
to start with and that currently is FreeBSD 6.2.   It is better than 5.5.

But, you can get 5.5 to work if that is what you wish.

>  And, also, I have an integrated GPU,

Do you mean one that is built in to the motherboard?
There is a list of supported hardware in each RELEASE section
on the FreeBSD web site.   That is the place to look first.
Some NICs and other controllers that are int4egrated on the
motherboard do not work well, but I don't know which ones.
You might have to get more specific with the chip identification and such.

Depends on your workload. Perhaps you do something under FreeBSD that
generates more heat?

I would start with the name of the SATA controller and drive and see
whether someone else has had the same problems (search archives and
google). Then i'd probably check temperatures, chipsets, try -CURRENT
(for driver updates to see whether that fixes it) and go from there.
See if you can identify a condition that triggers the IRQ storm.

Check the jumper settings on the drive itself. You may be trying to add a

You can see the brand and model of my drive. I have Windows XP on the

If it is FAT32, my best guess is that you do not have permisson to

Upgrading the base ports a piece at a time is an excellent way to 
shoot yourself in the foot. I would install the port, put NO_BIND= 
true in /etc/make.conf. You can define the executable and files 
in /etc/rc.conf. AFAIK, most of the base ports can be set up this 
way.  Then, they become independent of the world build and can be 
maintained with your favorite port tools. I use the port version of 
bind on my nameserver and have never had any problems with 
compatibility except when I built it with PORT_REPLACES_BASE_BIND9.
That turned out to be a *BAD* idea.

Re: /tmp write failed, filesystem is full

[Michele Endrici]

No, i'm working on a driver prototype for my master thesis degree.
I've simply got this driver that is known working on 6.1 and changed some
code. Put the driver files in the /usr/src/sys/dev/, added the
line "dev//>drive_name>.c" to files.i386, than build
it statically into kernel with "make depend, make, make install". First time
it worked than no more. I know i can do a kernel plug-in instead this static
kernel module but I need to solve this problem anyway.

What did you do just pull a new version of the files into your 6.2 tree?

Re: mdconfig device no faster then direct disk ...

of a difference in performance to understand why I'd want to use a

In order to do useful disk benchmarks, you've got to perform I/O on  
large enough files that they don't fit into RAM.  If you've got 400- 
odd MB completely unused according to top, you'd really like to use  
at least 1-2 GB worth of file data.  Of course, trying to do I/O  
tests on a RAM disk means that you want the data to fit into RAM  
without swapping, which then means that trying to do identical  
testing between disk and RAMdisk doesn't really work too well.

There's a Dutch webshop [1] providing all kinds of Linux distributions and 
FreeBSD on CD. The website tells me he has 6.1 available, but I'd assume 6.2 
should be available as well if you contact the shop owner. I have good 
experience with the shop (and the owner is a good fellow :)

Re: CTM update from mail

[Joe Kraft]

I'm preparing to take a computer on the road with me where I won't 
have direct access to the internet, but will be able to receive e-mail 
on a different computer through a webmail interface.  I intend to keep 
up to date using CTM, and have looked through the handbook but there 
seems to be an important part missing.


I'm trying to figure out how to use updates received in the mail.  The 
updates are split into multiple parts and CTM doesn't seem to process 
them directly.  I can't figure out how to reconstruct the original 
cvs-cur.*.gz file from the parts.




I finally figured this out, so I'll answer my own question in case 
someone as stupid as I happens upon this thread while searching for 
their own answer.


RTFM, ctm_rmail.  It's also mentioned in the handbook, although I swear 
someone added it in the last couple of days because I didn't see it last 
week when I was looking for it.  ;-)

RE: Updating Bind & OpenSSL on 6.1-Stable/Release

[Don O'Neil]

Don't assume that just because this is the first time I've raised concerns
about the ports means that this is the first time I've used FreeBSD I've
been using FreeBSD since 1.X.

My point is that it's a pain the rear to do a CVSUP/Buildworld (takes a long
time) so the ports collection is the easiest way to update/upgrade software.

It would be nice to have some sort of reference as to how the original
software was built and installed (the build options) or have the ports be
built to match the original to facilitate easy upgrade of one or two items.
I agree that in general these are 'add on' tools, but there are core
functions (bind, ssh, etc...) that get patched from time to time because of
security and it's a LOT quicker to re-install the port than it is to do a
buildworld.

These are just my observations.

The ports tree installs things to the /usr/local/ prefix, to help you keep
your ports and base system separate.  This is a normal behavior, and has
been normal for a lot longer than you have been using FreeBSD.  I apologize,
but I doubt the developers are going to change the standard behavior just
because you got confused the first time you tried to replace a base system
component.

Look here in section 4.5.2.1:

using.html

Could be one of any number of reasons and my guess is that the drive
wants to enter sleep mode, due to overheating or energy saving. And
either controller, driver or both found it unreasonable.
Perhaps you could inform us after you have researched it?

What did you do just pull a new version of the files into your 6.2 tree?
from -current? from RELENG_6 branch?

How is the drive mounted? If you type "mount" does it show the drive to

what kind of file system? fat or NTFS? I dont think you can write to 
NTFS drives from BSD can you, at least not without a port?


see if this port helps:

Carp status

[Sylvain Coutant]

Hi there,

I'm new to the list and not sure this is perfectly related or should be 
cross-posted to any other list. Please help me find the right channel to 
get an answer if I'm wrong.


I'm using FreeBSD's 6.1/6.2 carp implementation for production but I 
think it is quite old regarding current OpenBSD's carp status. Is any 
import from the current OpenBSD version planned ?


In particular, it has an enhanced arp balancing algorythm that allow to 
do very cool things ;-) Would be good to use this under FreeBSD.



Cheers !
Sylvain.

Not to mention that the command as shown would make the link in the
wrong direction, leaving the builds still using the "real" /tmp.

Not to mention that the command as shown would make the link in the
wrong direction, leaving the builds still using the "real" /tmp.

How Write To Win Drive?

[Stan Cooper]

Hi;
I have a windoze drive set up in my fstab that I can access and read, but I 
can't write to it! The permissions are set "rw"...doesn't that mean read *and* 
write? I'm confused.
TIA,
Stan 2

Perhaps /var is getting full also? Rather that soft-linking, I think I'd first 
try to flush out the /tmp filesystem.

Re: /tmp write failed, filesystem is full

[Brian A. Seklecki]

Just run an MFS /tmp, add to fstab(5) then "mount /tmp"

  md/tmpmfs rw,-s64m,-m02 0

Let me know if the syntax error persists.

First of all it tells me /tmp filesystem is full. I run "df -h" and
it's quite full.
Hence, I've created a symbolic link to another folder to gain more space

ln -s /tmp /var/tmp_fake

but i still get the same error. Any suggestion??

As you have most likely noticed by now, it stopped at 7.0.214, which is 
the "minor" version of vim.  Actually it's a patch version.  vim applies a 
series of patches to the original source instead of constantly releasing a 
large file including all the source.

It makes patching fairly easy and saves some bandwidth for them.  Just let it 
run... it will get them all and your build will complete.

Well the current portversion is patchlevel 214 and the latest vim source
tarball is 7.0 so it needs to download all the patches.
have you let it download as far as 7.0.214 ?
If not then let it do its thing.

Re: Updating Bind & OpenSSL on 6.1-Stable/Release

[Reko Turja]

I did... So I linked it to /etc/named.conf Everything works great 
now...


My question is howver, why are the ports setup different than the 
original
install? I would think that the port build would be set with the 
same
options as the original install that came with the OS... I've seen 
this


Mainly because FreeBSD is a complete system, not a kernel and mishmash 
of separate utilities like some other OS'es out there. Basically this 
means that you should upgrade supplied userland programs by using the 
usual cvsup the latest sources and buildworld procedure, rather than 
using the ports for upgrading. The versions of BIND/Sendmail/SSL in 
the ports are mainly in there for users who need new features or 
something not available in the versions installed with the operating 
system base.


The separate install lets you bail out if something stops working with 
the replacements installed from ports and of course helps preventing 
breaking the interdependencies and stuff in the OS supplied userland.

FreeBSD on IBM Blade HS21

[Nejc Škoberne]

Hello,

today I tried to migrate a FreeBSD 6.1 installation from an ordinary PC
machine to an IBM Blade HS21 server. The server is a brand new machine
with two Dual Core Xeon 5130 processors, two 72GB SAS drives.

When I try to boot FreeBSD (either from USB disk with the installation
I am trying to move, either from FreeBSD 6.2 disc 1 installation CD-ROM)
the kernel doesn't load in full. It finds the USB disk, the SAS disks,
but then stops here:

Timecounters tick every 1.000 msec

and nothing happens any more. Any ideas what might be causing the halt?
If I try to press power button, I get the message that the ACPI command
was ignored, or something (I guess this is because kernel didn't load
completely).

Any ideas what I might try?

Oh, when I try to boot from CD-ROM, I get one more line, but I don't
know exactly, it is something about md0 is initialised or something. And
then it stops again.

I really need to get this working or some people will be very angry.
I thought FreeBSD must run on "so popular" IBM blades, right?

Thanks for your help.

Or maybe the original install/release needs to be changed to

It's a pain having to debug where everything went, change config  
files,
update startup scripts, make symlinks, etc... When if it were Linux  
a simple

RPM install would update it and I'd be done with it.

Just my observations.


The ports tree installs things to the /usr/local/ prefix, to help you  
keep your ports and base system separate.  This is a normal behavior,  
and has been normal for a lot longer than you have been using  
FreeBSD.  I apologize, but I doubt the developers are going to change  
the standard behavior just because you got confused the first time  
you tried to replace a base system component.

The majority of the functionality is in ifconfig, media settings and
options, checksum offloading, tso etc. There may be features available
in them that are in other utils in freebsd but i'm only passingly
familiar with ethtool and mii-tool so i dont know everything they can do.
anything in particular you were looking for?

[Philippe Laquet]

Hi,

If you only need to set duplex modes and so on, the "ifconfig" command
under *BSD replaces all the *-tools that you talking about ;)

(the manpage gives all the information you may need)
