I'm in no way a licence expert and I'm not a FreeBSD developer, however my understanding (from sources such as [http://wiki.freebsd.org/VendorInformation]) is that in answer to your original questions a) Device drivers - yes but it cannot be included in the GENERIC config, but thats what modules are for anyway. b) Kernel/base system - No - I belive this would need to be BSD licensed. c) userland - Yes but probably needs to be in the contrib directory as an example, all the ZFS stuff is CDDL licenced , This had to be kept separate from pretty much everything but it's there. However I could well be wrong and its almost certainly worth asking these questions again on the freebsd-current mailing list where developers who might actually know the answers hang out.

Hi, FreeBSD7-amd + X + KDE3 installed. When connecting from a WindowsXP PC via an X-windows emulator, everything is OK (1280x1024 screen) On a console monitor (capable of 1280x1024) plugged in directly in VGA connector of the machine (and a mouse and keyboard also), Ctrl-Alt-F1 gives Command line interface (and reponds to keystrokes), but when switching via Ctrl-Alt-F9 for X, I get a black screen, and after 2 seconds the LED on the monitor turns from green to orange (meaning: no signal) What can be wrong and how to remedy? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Hi, try using one of the http mirrors instead if you are not allowed to access ftp sites. You can find a list here: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/mirrors-ftp.html.

Code to enlarge/shrink browser's embedded quicktime player
I was wondering if it was possible to generate code that would allow my clients to shrink or enlarge their quicktime players when playing lecture videos from my server. I know one can embed players into html code; however, wheat I specifically want is for someone to be able to click on a particular file in my apache server directory and then, when it begins streaming, have it play via a quicktime embedded interface that gives the client the option to manipulate its size. Ideally, I would like to generate a single bit of html code that can apply to all the files (rather than generate a series of href anchors for each).

Re: Sysinstall partition oddities (6.3/i386 - 7.x/amd64)
Steve Polyack wrote: I've seen some oddities with the partition and bsdlabel editors in the sysinstall program on the 7.0 and 7.1 releases. The partition editor seems to be reading or parsing the partition table incorrectly. I had a 6.3-RELEASE system with the following layout: /dev/amrd3s1a on / (ufs, local) /dev/amrd3s1g on /opt (ufs, local, soft-updates) /dev/amrd3s1f on /usr (ufs, local, soft-updates) /dev/amrd3s1d on /var (ufs, local, soft-updates) /dev/amrd3s1e on /var/log (ufs, local, soft-updates) Upon booting into the 7.x install media and encountering the FDISK Partition Editor, the partition it's seeing is amrd3*a*s1, as opposed to amrd3s1. Trying to continue with the partition table and bsd labels as is only led to the installer bailing out. As soon as it would attempt to newfs the disk partitions, the installer would error and report that it can't find a device entry in /dev for amrd3*a*s1a. Since preserving the data on the disk was not critical, I was able to continue by deleting the original partition/slice and recreating them. This worked fine. However, I'm still curious as to what the cause of this is. I have seen this before on two other systems while installing 7.x, quite possibly while upgrading from 6.3. When this occurred, I was also moving from i386 to amd64; Is there some kind of offset for partition tables which may change based on architecture? Lastly, here's a screenshot of the partition editor: http://people.collaborativefusion.com/~spolyack/fbsd-install.jpg Unfortunately, I do not have any screenshots of the errors during the newfs step. If this comes up again, I'll be sure to take some. Thanks. This also occurs in VMWare. I'm able to get the exact same behavior by installing a 7.1-RELEASE system (single slice, da0s1), then booting off the install media and start a new installation. It picks up the partition as da0as1 instead of da0s1, making it impossible to use sysinstall while preserving existing partitions. -Steve Polyack ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Read §16.12 (Backup Basics) in the FreeBSD Handbook. You'll find the English version in /usr/share/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/backup-basics.html. For full backups dump(8) and mt(1) seem to be the tools of choice. If you use dump and you want encryption, you could pipe the dump output through openssl to encrypt it with e.g. the AES algorithm with a 256 bit key. Run 'openssl enc -help' to see the encryption algorithms available. All the tools mentioned above are available in the base system, which is a prequisite for restoring system partitions in my book. My own backup strategy is to write dumps or /, /usr and /var to an external USB harddisk or DVD, for an easy restore. For large data partitions I prefer to rsync(1) to a geli(8) encrypted partition on an external harddisk, because it is faster and more convenient than a dump.

shell scripting, how to auto-timeout?
This is a shell scripting question, it is not specific to FreeBSD. I am writing a script that I want to terminate after 1 second (because it has the potential to infinite loop). The script I have so far is: #!/bin/sh cd `dirname $0` CLASSPATH=mapgen.jar export CLASSPATH /usr/local/bin/java PipeGenerator $* The java process has the potential to run forever, and I want it to run for at most 1 second then get killed. I could write a parent script that somehow gets the PID of the child script, but the problem is that the java program writes to standard out, the result of the program is written to standard out. I also don't really want to share a PID with a temporary file. So what I might do is this: /usr/local/bin/java PipeGenerator $* sleep 1 kill the java command if not already killed Also with the above code I would be waiting for 1 second even if the java process finished sooner.

You could try graphics/xfig if you want an interactive graphical

For very accurate file-based drawing you could try the metapost

Replace the java function with your code. The basic idea is that you
start a child process which will kill its parent after 1 second
(parent pid is $$, child is $!). If the java command terminates before
then, the child is killed. Test both cases out by commenting out

#!/bin/sh
echo start
while true; do
# Infinite loop; use some CPU so that it's easy to find this in the
output of top.
echo foo /dev/null
done
echo stop
Without the exec in the parent script, the parent's child is not
killed when the parent is killed.

Actually, because of the exec in the parent script, the line below it, the killing terminator process line, never gets reached. So the terminator process that waits to kill its parent always waits the full 5 seconds in the background. If I pipe the output of the parent script through less, it waits 5 seconds before it reaches the end of the output. That is annoying.

Unreferenced can mean no program or other library uses this library, but can also mean libchk was unable to find a program that uses this library, yet a program/library might still need it through runtime loading. If you're interested in the technical details, see dlopen(3). All libchk can determine is whether a library is linked against, not whether it uses some construct to dynamically load a library upon request. That said: - if libfoo.so.2 is said to be unreferenced - AND libfoo.so.3 (or higher) exists - it is 99.9% safe to assume libfoo.so.2 can be deleted. Also, for the list libchk gives concerning not anything in /usr/local, execute: cd /usr/src make delete-old-libs You should've done that right after you rebuilt your ports [1], but you can still do it. Last but not least, since you're doing a *minor* version upgrade, it's not strictly necessary to rebuild all your ports. Keeping them up-to-date is not a bad idea, but unless it's explicitedly mentioned in /usr/src/UPDATING, no library in FreeBSD is version bumped, so that installed applications break. This only applies to *major* version upgrades. [1] It's possible to do after source upgrade and before port rebuild, but not if you use portupgrade (use portmaster instead), since it needs ruby which is linked to the old 6.x libraries. -- Mel Problem with today's modular software: they start with the modules and never get to the software part. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

I see what you mean. Here's another option without exec:

{
echo 'killing everything'

exit 0
}
trap kill_all SIGCHLD

SPID=$!
echo child is $CPID
echo sleeper is $SPID

Here I'm using the fact that the termination of any child process
causes SIGCHILD to be sent to the parent. Notice the '-T' in the first
line; this is important, because without it the 'wait' call isn't
interrupted until both children are dead. Unfortunately, this is a
non-standard option, so you'll have to check if it is supported in
your environment.

Keeping FreeBSD updated (the binary way)
Hi, list! I have just acquired a new computer to replace an old server. This older server has been running FreeBSD 5.3 since 2004 and most of its packages are way out of date. I've been scared of changing something in fear of rendering the machine unbootable, or some core applications unrunnable. I want to make sure I have better routines this time around, when I'm starting a-fresh. I'd like to keep my system and packages fairly up to date, and still keep the compiling to a minimum. Is it possible to pkg_add -r packages from -STABLE on the latest -RELEASE? That is, will the following work, or slowly render my system to an incoherent state: 1) Regularly run freebsd-update 2) Regularly run portsnap 3) Set my PACKAGESITE to the -STABLE location 4) Regularly run portupgrade -P Will the postsnap'ed index always be in sync with what's available as precompiled packages for -STABLE? Will these -STABLE packages always run on my freebsd-update'd -RELEASE system? If some ports have the NO_PACKAGE bit set, will compiling them against dependencies from -STABLE work, as long as I've run portsnap?

Ideally, I would like to generate a single bit of html code that can apply to all the files (rather than generate a series of href anchors for each). Can this be done? An idea that would come to my mind would be this: 1. Let the lecture content (QT video) be handeled by an external program, i. e. mplayer. 2. If the content has been selected and the download / downstream starts, mplayer plays it, and (according to the window manager used) mplayer's window can be changed in size. Or, more easily, the key f can be pressed to put mplayer into fullscreen mode.

To use growisofs, install it from /usr/ports/sysutils/dvd+rw-tools. You may need to # kldload atapicam so that you can get /dev/cd0.

If some of those DVDs developed bad sectors, you could then try to reconstruct those with dvdisaster (but only if you created the error correction data before burning!), and burn a new DVD. Oh, and try to stick to good DVD blanks like Taiyo Yuden or Verbatim (only those made in Taiwan or Japan) to minimize the risk of bad sectors (i.e. especially avoid no-names or el-cheapo blanks). You can also do without dvdisaster, and write more than 3 GB to the DVDs, but if you plan to archive them and be able to read them a few years ahead, you'll highly value the error correction codes overhead. ;) Oh, and you'll still have to read the data back after burning, just to be sure everything's okay.

You would need a two stage approach. 1. Create an ISO-9660 file system with a standard RockRidge extension. This would allow you to master a file system for the CD or DVD which is usually represented by a .iso file. 2. You record this file onto a CD or DVD using the data disc settings. Of course, K3B can do this with an implicite step 1 (on the fly) with no .iso file hanging around. I think I figured out how to create a tiny filesystem on a floppy disc, but this was a Long time ago. Do you think you can tell me what a floppy disc would look like? :-) Don't confuse disk (floppy disk) and disc (like CD or DVD). Anything push-button? K3B should be able to generate an ISO-9660 file system with the standard RockRidge extension. But if you do consider 3 lines of shell code push-button, maybe this is for you: % mkisofs -r -o /tmp/kline.iso ~/kline % cdrecord dev=1,0,0 speed=32 -v -eject -tao -data /tmp/kline.iso % rm /tmp/kline.iso Don't store the .iso file within the subtree you're recording, this may lead to infinity. :-) Of course, you don't need to use cdrecord. The burncd command or cdrdao will do fine, too. For a DVD, you need growisofs. % growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvd=/tmp/kline.iso In my opinion, all this stuff is more push-button than trying to find all the settings in a GUI application. :-) As a sidenote, I just like to mention that you don't need to use an ISO-9660 filesystem. Because we're on FreeBSD here, you can use any (!) file system on a CD or DVD, such as UFS or tar (check advantages and disadvantages). -- Polytropon From Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
How to re-start freebsd-update?
Hi, I've started upgrading a machine from 7.0 to 7.1 using freebsd-update. It's the first time I've upgraded to a new os version with it (always used cvsup/ make world mergemaster before). All was going well until it came to merging the new old conf files. I wasn't quite sure what to do when asked to edit some of the files (it's not the same as mergemaster), so I did what I thought was best (having made a backup of /etc first!) Anyway, once that was finished, it then showed me the resulting merged files and asked if each one looked reasonable. I answered yes to the first one, but with the second file wasn't right, so I answered no - assuming it would give me the chance to edit the file again (like mergemaster does). Instead it just dumped me back at the command prompt with no indication as to how to proceed from there. I tried running the freebsd-update install command again, but it said no updates are available to install, run freebsd-update fetch first. Is there some way I can resume the upgrade process? Or do I need to do a rollback and then fetch update again? Cheers, -- Ian gpg key: http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~imoore/no-spam.asc signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

I'll have checksums Plus usin the dvdisaster, :-) [[ i actually did this in the 90's with my floppies; when the CRC failed i knew a floppy had gone south. ]] Note that all this is possibly already integrated in K3B or some other fancy GUI front-ends, or it may not: I'm not familiar with the GUI tools. k3b IS probably the most likely tool to automate this, but it's a bit too simple for me to figure out. I want to wind up with a DVD that I can mount, cd into, and cd around within. That is my particular gotcha. So if anybody can teach me how to create a mountable/umountable DVD that would be a _filesystem_, using K3B, that might be helpful. thanks for your insights, gary tia, gary Regards, -cpghost. -- Cordula's Web. http://www.cordula.ws/ -- Gary Kline kl...@thought.org http://www.thought.org Public Service Unix http://jottings.thought.org http://transfinite.thought.org The 2.23a release of Jottings: http://jottings.thought.org/index.php ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to
Re: Backup program on FreeBSD for DLT drive
Yes, This is probably the one I'll go for… There is a good hack described in the O'Reilly BSD hacks to setup Bacula… I'll consider this article as a starting point… Thank you very much folks.

I've had success with Bacula for a small office file server (FreeBSD) and Windows clients clients. It supports SSL for the data transfer (if the client and server are not the same machine), as well as data encryption: http://www.bacula.org/en/dev-manual/Data_Encryption.html I haven't used the encryption myself. Bacula has a bit of a learning curve to set up corretly, but I really enjoy its use once it it set up correctly. -- Geoff Gregober --- PGP ID -- 0x1BA3C2FD bsd @at@ todoo.biz P Please consider your environmental responsibility before printing this e-mail ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

You would need a two stage approach. 1. Create an ISO-9660 file system with a standard RockRidge extension. This would allow you to master a file system for the CD or DVD which is usually represented by a .iso file. So if I use my space in /usr/tmp, would I use the cmd given by cpghost: % mkisoft -R -J -o cdr.iso /usr/tmp/cdr/ ? If this wouldn't % create the RockRidge extension, what then? 2. You record this file onto a CD or DVD using the data disc settings. Tried that; get lost after the first few clicks... Got to be 'too-too simple' :) Of course, K3B can do this with an implicite step 1 (on the fly) with no .iso file hanging around. I think I figured out how to create a tiny filesystem on a floppy disc, but this was a Long time ago. Do you think you can tell me what a floppy disc would look like? :-) Don't confuse disk (floppy disk) and disc (like CD or DVD). ---just between you and me, Polyt, i've got to watch my fingers; i might type floppy dick and that would get lots of snickers... . Anything push-button? K3B should be able to generate an ISO-9660 file system with the standard RockRidge extension. Exact where do I click instructions, please. Alao, if I'm brave enough to use GUI, can I use ~/devel, ~/Music, and, say ~/texts? ---I have learned to mouse-around and select my favorite mp3 and ogg-vorbis tunes, but that's just 80 minutes of music. No mount, no umount. But if you do consider 3 lines of shell code push-button, maybe this is for you: % mkisofs -r -o /tmp/kline.iso ~/kline % cdrecord dev=1,0,0 speed=32 -v -eject -tao -data /tmp/kline.iso % rm /tmp/kline.iso Don't store the .iso file within the subtree you're recording, this may lead to infinity. :-) Something like that happened a couple months ago (*sigh*) Of course, you don't need to use cdrecord. The burncd command or cdrdao will do fine, too. For a DVD, you need growisofs. % growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvd=/tmp/kline.iso In my opinion, all this stuff is more push-button than trying to find all the settings in a GUI application. :-) That makes my century!!! As a sidenote, I just like to mention that you don't need to use an ISO-9660 filesystem. Because we're on FreeBSD here, you can use any (!) file system on a CD or DVD, such as UFS or tar (check advantages and disadvantages). OK, then what about the mount, umount commands? % mount /dev/cd0 /mnt // cd to /dev/dv0, read, listen, whatever. Then:: % umount /dev/cd0 ??
