Re: VNC server embedded into Xorg server
Laszlo Nagy wrote: Hi All, There was a port called net/vnc that contained a vnc.so file. That file could be loaded into the Xorg server and then I was able to monitor the X desktop with VNC. Now I'm using gnome, and gnome2-fifth-toe installs tightvnc. It conflicts with net/vnc. So I cannot install net/vnc. What other options I have to run an X server? The only extra wish is that the X server must be able to start automatically, e.g. without logging into gnome. I need this because the X server will be located at a distant location and I have to be able to use it after a system restart. I use x11vnc (net/x11vnc), as it doesn't require loading anything into the X server itself--it's a standard X client. From there, it wouldn't be difficult to hack together something that starts x11vnc when the X server starts up.

It is very strange that spinlock_exit consumes over 36% CPU time while it
seems a very simple function.
For clarity, I paste the code of spinlock_exit here:
void
spinlock_exit(void)
{
struct thread *td;
td = curthread;
critical_exit();
td-td_md.md_spinlock_count--;
if (td-td_md.md_spinlock_count == 0)
intr_restore(td-td_md.md_saved_flags);
}
Since critical_exit consumes only 0.4% CPU time, does this mean the rest of
spinlock_exit consume ~36% CPU time?
Am I missing something? Could anybody help me understand this? Many thanks.
BTW, the kernel is compiled with SMP and PREEMPTION disabled. The scheduler
is ULE.
What FreeBSD version, and what build date of the kernel?

thorny (for me) permissions problem
The following permissions problem has me stumped: 1. User A uploads a file (using ftp) to the server, into a directory called 'data' owned by user B. Permissions on directory set to allow this, like this: drwxrwxr-x 2 user_b user_b 512 Oct 7 08:40 data 2. A cron job, run by user B, then processes the file 3. When the processing is complete, the cron job needs to delete the file from the server 4. however, after upload, the file has the ownership A:B (i.e, owned by A, group B) with permissions -rw-r--r--. So B does not have permission to delete the file. -rw-r--r-- 1 user_a user_b 154879 Oct 7 08:40 data_file.csv The ftp user can manually change the permissions on the file to -rw- rw-r--, but I do not want to depend on the user remembering to change permissions. If he forgets, the cronjob will process the file over and over again. I need the server to handle this, so it gets done correctly 100% of the time. B does not have sufficient permissions to delete the file or change it's permissions. The only thing I can think of is to have ANOTHER cron job, run by A, run every few minutes to check for the existence of a file, and change the permissions so B can delete it. But this smells like a kludge to me. Is there a correct way to handle this? For instance, is there something I can set in A's profile, so when he uploads a file, the group permission is set to rw? That would be a nice clean way to do it, but I can't find anything like that.

So let's make some directories and files: drwxrwxr-x 2 jim somegroup 2 Oct 7 06:22 data/ -rw-r- 1 bob somegroup 0 Oct 7 06:22 data/somefile In this scenario, user jim will be able to remove somefile, as can be seen here: # su jim % id -a uid=2001(jim) gid=1000(users) groups=1000(users),(somegroup) % ls -l total 1 -rw-r- 1 bob somegroup 0 Oct 7 06:22 somefile % rm somefile override rw-r- bob/somegroup for somefile? y % ls -l total 0 So, possibly the FTP server you're using does not inherit users groups, only GIDs? -- | Jeremy Chadwickjdc at parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977.

It is very strange that spinlock_exit consumes over 36% CPU time while it
seems a very simple function.
For clarity, I paste the code of spinlock_exit here:
void
spinlock_exit(void)
{
struct thread *td;
td = curthread;
critical_exit();
td-td_md.md_spinlock_count--;
if (td-td_md.md_spinlock_count == 0)
intr_restore(td-td_md.md_saved_flags);
}
Since critical_exit consumes only 0.4% CPU time, does this mean the rest of
spinlock_exit consume ~36% CPU time?
Am I missing something? Could anybody help me understand this? Many thanks.
BTW, the kernel is compiled with SMP and PREEMPTION disabled. The scheduler
is ULE.
Best regards,
Qiu Jian

Re: thorny (for me) permissions problem
Well, thanks to Valintin, I did figure out how to change the umask for pure-ftpd. So now uploaded files have the permissions I wanted, even if they are not needed. Be careful with what you've done. If you changed the umask on the ftpd as a whole, then suddenly unrelated users are going to find their files writeable by whatever group/GID they default to. A good point. The default group for my users is their own group... i.e., user_a's default group is user_a, so that should not be a problem, but why give away more rights than necessary? So, I've put the pure-ftpd umask back to 137:077 (this inverted octal was a brain twister until I had my second cup of coffee :-), retested, and it all works the way I wanted it to. Three hours gone, but I guess I learned a few things, which I have documented in my Solutions Log. By the way, for any Mac users on the list, I highly recommend Yojimbo as a Solutions Log. Yojimbo is a program that's hard to explain, but incredibly useful. It is basically a place that you can throw all sorts of useful information, such as notes on how to solve things you've already figured out (I hate having to figure things out twice), PDFs, book marks, whole web pages (archived), emails (archived), passwords (encrypted)... any information that you want to be able to find easily in the future. You can 'tag' each bit of information with as many keywords as you want. Then, when you need to retrieve some vital bit of information, it has a search engine that lets you find it quickly. It sounds trivial, when you read it, but I don't know any other tool that lets you store so many types of documents in the same place, with such easy retrieval. Anyway, that's my tip of the day.

sleep is not working to avoid starvation among threads of same priority
Hi, I have two threads of same priority lets say thread A and thread B, thread A is starving since thread B has got a for loop of size 100k. So, to avoid starvation I am processing 1000 iterations of for loop(that of thread B) in one batch and giving sleep of 1ms, but still thread A is starving. If I increase the batch size used in for loop from 1k to 10k then starvation of thread A is little less whereas it should be more as Im increasing processing time of thread B. I tried various combinations of sleeps and batches, but I couldnt solve the starvation of thread A. Is the sleep right solution? I will be grateful if someone could answer on this.

Without seeing the error message is (the interesting bit is usually slightly before the 'Check syntax near...' instruction) and what exactly the SQL code around that point is, I'm shooting in the dark somewhat. mysqldump(1) is the canonical tool for producing database dumps for backup. There's a classic problem to do with 'Max Packet Size' where mysqldump is allowed to produce much larger chunks of SQL than mysql client is allowed to swallow. This is easily cured by setting the max-packet-size variable during your data load session -- or set the variable from my.cnf so it's there all the time. Other possible problems: mysqldump usually works by locking each table in sequence while dumping it out. This means that things like Foreign Keys can get out of sync if you're dumping the database while it is particularly active. To cure that problem, either you need to tell mysqldump to acquire a DB-wide lock (which will block all other access) or you have to use InnoDB tables and enable transactions. You can in theory dump all of the databases in an instance of MySQL as a single transaction, although you may well run into the 4GB transaction size limit on 32bit machines if your databases are that large. (64bit machines have a max transaction size so large it's unfeasible to ever run into it). In summary: you should always be able to get a good backup out of mysqldump, but you'll have to play around with variables and command line options a bit to make it work smoothly in your specific circumstanes.

Thanks for the clarification. What I meant was that the core temperatures are dependent on clock speed which is dependent on powerd which is dependent on ACPI, if I'm not mistaken. I believe powerd(8) is reliant upon cpufreq(4), which is reliant upon many different pieces (depending upon what you've enabled in your kernel and what you've configured in loader.conf). See the cpufreq(4) man page for details of all the drivers/methods supported -- and yep, ACPI-based throttling is indeed there. i.e: If powerd isn't working properly due to ACPI bugs then you may have your CPU running at full clock, hence high temps. No? Processors/hardware are not dependent upon operating systems calming them down or telling them to idle. I forget if I mentioned use of HLT opcodes and what not on idling processors -- this is just an added bonus, as HLT will often put the processor into a deeper sleep than it would if it was just sitting there doing nothing. That's why you might see some occasional Windows programs advertising cool your CPU down by running this program!!! Let's say his average idle temperature is 40C. If he does not use powerd(8), his processor temperature should probably be 40C, maybe up or down a degree. If he starts doing something CPU-intensive, that will obviously increase the temperature. But when the processor isn't doing anything, it shouldn't have a high temperature. Keep in mind that powerd(8) using frequency or clock throttling does not necessarily guarantee lower/colder temperatures. It all depends on what cpufreq(4) module is being relied upon, and what sorts of power saving states the CPU has in it. In the case of Core 2 Duos, there's 4 or 5 states (C1 through C5 I believe), and I've read that there's a couple different severities of some of those states. RMClock for Windows does an awful good job of showing you what all the states are, and you can enable/disable them (as power-down states available) simply by clicking check boxes. So one possible scenario is that powerd isn't working, although Kirk implies that it is. One piece of evidence that powerd is not working properly is that it clocked the CPU back to 373MHz - which seems an odd-looking number to me. It doesn't appear odd to me. It greatly depends on what processor model you have, what cpufreq(4) driver you're using, what CPU features you have turned on or off (BIOSes sometimes can set these for you), what your FreeBSD settings are (loader.conf specifically), and what motherboard you're using. Case in point: here's some from a PDSMi+ board, although I'm using debug.cpufreq.lowest=1191 in loader.conf (I don't care to have the system downclock beyond that): dev.cpu.0.freq: 1191 dev.cpu.0.freq_levels: 2382/-1 2084/-1 1786/-1 1488/-1 1191/-1 It would help if we could see some of his sysctl date, specifically these: debug.cpufreq.* dev.cpufreq.[0-9].* dev.cpu.[0-9].freq dev.cpu.[0-9].freq_levels

Sound troubles with high res modes in console
Hello, everybody! The system is ASUS A3500L, old laptop on Intel Montara platform, running 7.1-PRERELEASE I have one trouble while listening music with console players. Sound became crippled when I have output to STDOUT or whenever I use text-scrolling in editors or switching between consoles. This trouble appeared right after I changed vidcontrol setting to 1024x786 mode. In order to get VESA modes I recompilled my kernel with these additional options: cat /sys/i386/conf/CUSTOM # not sure if I should use these actually :) ... device drm device i915drm device acpi_video options SC_PIXEL_MODE options VESA ... Also I put 'allscreens_flags=-i mode MODE_279' in /etc/rc.conf to have 1024x768 mode in my consoles. vidcontrol -i mode ... 277 (0x115) 0x000f G 800x600x32 18x16 0xa 64k 64k 0xf000 32576k 279 (0x117) 0x000f G 1024x768x16 1 8x16 0xa 64k 64k 0xf000 32576k 280 (0x118) 0x000f G 1024x768x32 1 8x16 0xa 64k 64k 0xf000 32576k I'm loading sound module for my Intel ICH4 chipset: cat /boot/loader.conf acpi_video_load=YES snd_ich_load=YES # Intel ICH kldstat kernel snd_ich.ko sound.ko acpi_video.ko acpi.ko atapicam.ko pflog.ko pf.ko logo_saver.ko When I'm switching vidcontrol mode back to default setting, playback becames smooth again.

Strange memory/cpu behavior
I have STABLE-71 machine with 2GB memory and single 2GHz AMD3200 CPU. There is one large active process slowly growing in memory from 500MB to 1300MB, not reading or writing any files. There are many dormant processes almost not running at all. Swap size remains constant (185MB). Total physical memory used remains 2GB (whole memory used). ps shows that the active process only takes 15-18% CPU. But total CPU consumption on the machine is 100% (user). Since the active process grows but swap+physical memory doesn't grow I assume that OS pushes out other processes code since it's unchanged on disk. Why such operation is so expensive and takes 80-85% CPU? Why total of all user processes CPU consumption is ~20% but total CPU(user) consumption shows as 100%? Shouldn't they be the same.

This is usually a snap in XP, but UNIX would not allow things to be simple I guess: When I want to empty out few folders into another folder (DUMP) and there are same files in both folders (one I am copying from (Downloads) and one I am moving them to(DUMP)) I get an error: [HTML]General failure (server should provide error description). Error code: 4 Error message from server: Failure Request code: 18[/HTML] That error is being displayed by a Windows application? I'm guessing you're using Samba on the server, and that there may be more information in the Samba logs. My guess was that it found similar named files and flipped out only leaving me the options to skip or abort (I skipped). So I decided to do it through command line via Putty. Friend of mine suggested this command through bash:[HTML] mv Downloads/* .[/HTML] Sounds about right. Effect was the same: I get a polite error notifying me that: : [HTML]FileName.extension: Directory not empty[/HTML] In future, try to cut and paste the *exact* text from the terminal window (in this case, the Putty window). I'll take a guess, but I'm working in the dark a bit here. Are there any sub-directories in the Downloads directory? Do you have the permissions to remove them? Make sure that the user account (the one under which you are executing the command) has write permissions to the directories being modified. Whoopty do! XP would be nice enough to give me options: name of conflicting file; sizes; options: Abort, Overwrite, Skip These options are crucial because some files may have changed and I may want to rename the file and save it as a newer version while keeping the old one. I usually find this out by looking at the file sizes. Is there a way to do the same from command line? Many. I would recommend using rsync, which is available from ports.

Re: VNC server embedded into Xorg server
Hi, Sorry for jumping in the middle of the thread. There was a port called net/vnc that contained a vnc.so file. That file could be loaded into the Xorg server and then I was able to monitor the X desktop with VNC. Now I'm using gnome, and gnome2-fifth-toe installs tightvnc. It conflicts with net/vnc. So I cannot install net/vnc. What other options I have to run an X server? I would: - deinstall net/vnc - install gnome and let it install tinyvnc - manually deinstall tinyvnc - install net/vnc The only extra wish is that the X server must be able to start automatically, e.g. without logging into gnome. I need this because the X server will be located at a distant location and I have to be able to use it after a system restart. Especially with gnome, the X server starts before you do any authentication, when gnome present the loggin window, X has already started. To do X over vnc remotely, you need quite some amount of bandwidth. Are you sure you need a graphical access? X protocol is designed natively to run over the network, so you may not need vnc. With X you can have an application running on your remote computer, with the display coming to your desktop machine (if your desktop machine is some Windows thing, there are good X emulators for Windows). If you really want to keep your setting, there should exist a gnome startup script that you can hack to run vnc somewhere between the line starting X and the line starting gnome authentication.

Generally speaking, you do not want to be looking at SIZE to determine how much memory a process is taking up -- you want to look at RES. SIZE includes memory shared across all processes which rely on loaded shared objects. For example, if you had 20 processes running which were all linked with libssh.so.4, only one copy of libssh.so.4 would exist in memory, and all 20 of those processes would share it. On later versions of FreeBSD 7.0 and on 7.1, there is the procstat(1) utility which can be used to break down memory usage. As for your CPU usage issue, I'm not quite sure what you're referring to. It might help if we could see some actual output from top(1) pointing to what you're describing. -- | Jeremy Chadwickjdc at parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
