There is vde2 port for it depending networking needs,  standard dhcp/nat
slirp type should work straight from standard install of qemu though.

Ah, I see, the famous xcolor package. Okay, I have to admit that I
never used it before, so no problem for teTeX from the ports.
Until now, I was fine with usepackage(color) and usepackage(colortbl),
then rowcolor, columncolor and cellcolor, and finally colorbox.
Seems that I am not a color-power-user. :-)

Ere I am, J. H., the ghost in the machine. :-)

I've never tried TeXLive, I have to admit, because I NEVER had ANY
problem using the teTeX package. And yes, I don't build it from
source because pkg_add -r is so much comfortable.

There are some tools that are a good "put aside" for teTeX, such
as xpdf (which brings also pdftotext), and gv, dvitty, xdvi.

It would be nice to hear what - in such a case - has been the
problem with teTeX that TeXLive then solved. As I said, I never
found myself in such a situation, and I'm using LaTeX for
nearly everything.

I'm not sure if there was a PDP-11 compatible system. Contruction
mostly concentrated on IBM compatibles (and I don't mean PCs
with that, of course). Maybe there's something USSR-special
with a russian name (Iskra, Minsk, erm, no the Minsk wasn't
a PDP-like...).

There in fact was a system compatible to DEC's VAX architecture,
the robotron K1840:

http://www.robotrontechnik.de/index.htm?/html/computer/k1840.htm

It did not only have software support for VAX (with its OS
SVP1800), but as well for UNIX (with its OS MUTOS1800).

As far as I know, the russians (i. e. the soviets) participated,
like every country in the RGW, in manufacturing computers. From
the USSR, especially processors were delivered, while other
countries "specialized" on other fields, such as the GDR on
magnetic tape units.

The P8000 was manufactured by EAW in Berlin in the GDR. It was a
UNIX System III multi-user workstation environment, used mostly
for application programming.

http://www.robotrontechnik.de/index.htm?/html/computer/p8000.htm
http://www.robotrontechnik.de/index.htm?/html/computer/p8000compact.htm

I still own such a system and would like to get it working some
day (one P8000 and one P8000 compact).

So much for today's history lesson. :-)

No. Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. :-) Being

And finally, he invented God, the Heaven, the Hell (delivered in

Children get educated that way, at least in today's german
schools. :-)

You need to add the error messages. You got stdout and what was wrong was 
still missing.

I have a script that I use to do a build[world, kernel] that 
uses /var/log/build. I added build to ..\log. It does nothing more than

make buildkernel KERNCONF=FREEBSD1 2>&1 | 
tee /var/log/build/bkernel-`date "+%Y%m%d-%H%M"`.log

It leaves a complete log everytime I build a kernel. Your options would be 
different and I also use csh.

You need to *not* fixate the disk, and on subsequent sessions you need
to tell mkisofs where to start the new image.  The burning command also
needs to know that it's a multi-session disk.  See the "-C" option for
mkisofs, and the "-multi" option for cdrecord.

My crib sheet for burning disks provides an example:

# first session
TZ=UTC-5 mkisofs -R $filenames |cdrecord -v driveropts=burnfree -multi
-data -tao -

#other sessions
OFST=`cdrecord -msinfo`
echo $OFST
TZ=UTC-5 mkisofs -M $dv -C $OFST -R $filenames |cdrecord -v
driveropts=burnfree -tao -multi -data -eject -

Certainly the sysutils/k3b port makes it much simpler.  But the command
line is quite easy too, now that I have a working script written down.

What about making it be a build option?  Or at least symlink the
static vi in /rescue to /bin...?  I mean we have 1.5TB drives
now! 3700 blocks is a burp.  A small burp.

For that matter, why not have the option of moving the majority
of /rescue to /bin?  I've only had to use the rescue floppy a few
times, but did so only because i needed grep and vi to edit
/etc/fsck ...  And major, irksome desl using cat and ed to look
at that file.  And a few others in /etc.

According to the makefile, "make kernel" does "make buildkernel" + "make 
installkernel", so that shouldn't be the problem. Your question is very 
vague. Could you please attach the complete output (or at least the last

From /usr/src/Makefile:
# kernel  - buildkernel + installkernel.
This shouldtn't be the main problem.

You should look for full log from kernel building. f.ex. run:
cd /usr/src; make buildkernel | tee kernel_compilation.log
and search in this log for an error in this log.

According to the makefile, "make kernel" does "make buildkernel" + "make
installkernel", so that shouldn't be the problem. Your question is very
vague. Could you please attach the complete output (or at least the last
portion of it, e.g. 10-15 lines or so).







First, please do not reply to me only. Put the list on CC, in case 
somebody else has some insight on the matter.


I looked at the kernel config file, but it is pretty difficult to see 
what is wrong, without either knowing all the options by heart or 
comparing it to the NOTES files. Moreover, I am sorry, but I cannot find 
 the console output that you say you attached. Either I am blind or it 
got stripped somewhere on the way.

If you're running FreeBSD 7.1 or up, theres a program called cpuset.
man cpuset

I think that's what you're after. Allows binding of process to certain CPUs.

The simple way would be to use renice to change the process priority;  
other normal processes you run would get CPU first, but this task  
would be able to use all system resources if nothing else is.  I'm not

torrents.freebsd.org

[Chris Cowart]

Hello,

I'm currently trying to setup a bittorrent tracker to distribute files,
such as patches, to users when they're stuck behind our captive portal.
My experience over the last several weeks is that the software is flaky,
the documentation is poor, and no projects are being actively maintained
(or at least, projects in the FreeBSD ports tree). 

I'm getting the feeling that you need to be a member of an elite,
invitation-only group that performs heavy customizations every time a
tracker is installed.

I found net-p2p/bnbt and I thought it was the way to go. I somehow
managed to get it setup in the dev environment, load some torrents to be
tracked, and away we went. When I tried to reproduce this success in our
testing environment, I failed miserably. I can no longer figure out what
I did to get bnbt to load the torrents (apparently it was more
complicated than just dropping them off in the allowed_dir). I
discovered from a ktrace that bnbt is indeed scanning my allowed_dir on
startup and periodically after that, but it won't list the torrents in
the web interface, and it tells clients "requested download is not
authorized for use with this tracker".

I'm hoping to find somebody who's successfully running bnbt for some
pointers. If nothing else, I'd love to get in touch with the operators
of torrents.freebsd.org to find out what they're doing.

Thanks for any help,

vde qemu write: No buffer space available

[Adam Vande More]

I'm having issues with high network throughput with vde and qemu.  There are
two qemu vm's each running debian lenny and they are configured for drbd.
The vm's work fine until drbd is started then the networking fails.  The
only message I get(on the host side) is

write: No buffer space available

which is echoed to console, and nothing appears in the logs.  I believe this
to be an issue with vde, but I can't be certain because I can't seem to find
any way to turn on more extensive logging.  Anyone have an idea how to
resolve this?

Thanks,

Adding data to existing CD/DVD

[Carmel NY]

I have tried both xfburn and cdrecord; however, I cannot figure out how
to add data to an existing CD, or create a CD that I can later add data
to. It seems that once the CD is written to, this disc is closed. I
have seen a few options that allow writing to the disk multiple times;
however, they are then only viewable on a FreeBSD system. I need to
create discs that are viewable on multiple OS's and that I can add data
to after the initial burn. Using mkisofs creates an ISO that makes
adding data to impossible as far as I can tell.

On windows, it is easily done. I just cannot get a handle on how to do
it on FreeBSD. Maybe I need a different program?

The thing is that teTeX hasn't been updated in years. It has in fact



been deprecated in favor of TeXLive. This is not a big problem with the



basic TeX engine, because that doesn't change that much. But pdfTeX (a



TeX that generates PDF output instead of DVI) has been evolving



rapidly. And you'll miss out on several years of updates of the macro



packages (like LaTeX and ConTeXt).





Another consideration is that TeXLive contains a much larger choice of



additional packages than teTeX.





So I would advise you to install TeXLive. The latest DVD comes with



FreeBSD binaries.





Look at the mailing list archives for threads called "LaTeX oder teTeX"



in October 2007, and "Installing latest version of LaTeX" in June



2009. In those threads I've posted some instructions on how to get



TeXLive to work. Installation is pretty easy, but you have to change



login.conf and manpath.conf to use the binaries and manpages. Normally



TeXLive keeps everything under its own tree (/usr/local/texlive), so it



won't mess up the trees /usr/local/{bin,share,...}. Do _not_ tell the



installer to put symbolic links in /usr/local/bin! That way removing



TeXLive is as easy as removing /usr/local/texlive.

Thanks Roland. Looks like TeXLive it is.

Device naming on scbus using isp

[Brent Bloxam]

I'm wondering about how device names are assigned on scbus, specifically 
when using the isp driver. It seems to me that there's potential when an 
HBA has access to multiple LUNs that on boot the scbus will have entries 
in /dev scrambled compared to the previous run (thus messing up mounts). 
My experience so far has been that da0 will be assigned to the first 
target scanned, da1 to the second, etc. Is this generally something 
countered with device.hints? If a LUN were to go away, but a device hint 
pointing to the target:unit remained, would that cause any issues on boot?


Thanks,
Brent

troubleshooting sudden memory spikes

[Zbigniew Szalbot]

Hello,

I have a 7.2 FreeBSD server that has recently started to exhibit some 
strange behaviour. For a few days (since Monday) the number of inactive 
memory is constantly on the rise. When it gets to a certain level 
(around 1300-1400M), the system will start swapping, the inactvie memory 
gets released and free memory jumps to about 1300-1500M.


You can see some graphs here to better realise what I am trying to describe:
http://www.slowo.pl/_files/mem/

I was once able to see the memory spike occuring and I noticed that 
proftpd was intensively being used at that time. We have implemented 
some changes to proftpd setup to make sure it does not cause trouble. 
However, the spikes still occur.


I am wondering how to troubleshoot it. Where would you start looking to 
solve the problem?


I am suspecting:
1/ proftpd still causes some kind of a problem on one jail
2/ at least one website is quite buggy and generates a lot of entries in 
error.log so maybe it is the site?

3/ something about the jail system which was added about two weeks ago?

As of writing this email...
last pid: 85820;  load averages:  0.20,  0.17,  0.17   up 16+00:10:51 
17:30:49

73 processes:  1 running, 72 sleeping
CPU:  2.5% user,  0.0% nice,  0.8% system,  0.2% interrupt, 96.5% idle
Mem: 256M Active, 1393M Inact, 234M Wired, 61M Cache, 112M Buf, 50M Free
Swap: 4492M Total, 285M Used, 4207M Free, 6% Inuse


The system is not very busy (load average above is quite typical for 
that machine) and prior to Monday it has never swapped. For the whole 
year I haven't managed to use more than 2MB of swap space. But this 
changed this Monday.


I would like to find out what causes such behaviour so your suggestions 
are very much appreciated!


Thank you and have a nice weekend!

QEMU + FreeBSD

[Jim]

I have installed FreeBSD 7.2 on my notebook in the last week, and
installed QEmu as well.

I cannot seem to get the network interface working. It works on my
desktop machine, but that is running 7.0

looking around, I tried to find some other options, and went here:
http://wiki.freebsd.org/qemu

and got stuck at this step:
 # sysctl net.link.ether.bridge_cfg=fxp0,tap0
 # sysctl net.link.ether.bridge.enable=1

because nothing matching "net.link.ether.bridge*" exists.

Does anyone know of a current good setup document?

thanks,

There is... but not an official one. Romain Tartière made a special
form of ports tree, to be integrated with the 'official' tree for
TeXLive.

It's found at http://code.google.com/p/freebsd-texlive/wiki/Installing

I'm supposed to be doing work on it involving porting LyX... but I'm
committed to other stuff at the moment too :(

Re: Re: Which latex should I install

[Daniel Underwood]

Hopefully Polytropon will chime in on this, but I had to install
TeXLive for everything to work.

Suggestion: try teTeX.  If you encounter problems, then install TeXLive.

Thanks for the link to the previous discussion. So, should I use the  
TeXLive or teTeX given by Polytropon?

kernel panic - umount xfs partition

[Zbigniew Komarnicki]

Hello,

I have a Dabian 5.0 and FreeBSD 7.2-RELEASE-p2 on i386 athlon-xp. I have two  
partitions under Debian. They are xfs file system.

So I mount it from FreeBSD

# mount -t xfs -o ro /dev/ad0s1 /mnt
# ls /mnt
# umount /mnt

Everything is OK, but now I  do the following

# mount -t xfs -o ro /dev/ad0s2 /mnt
# ls /mnt
# cp /mnt/my_file /home/zbigniew

when cp finish the system was frozen and after a while do reboot.
After reboot I saw coredump on the swap file.

This is only for me or also maybe you have such problem. My system is for 
desktop usage. I work at school.

Editor in minimal system (was Re: The question of moving vi to /bin)

[Jonathan McKeown]

This whole thread only really got started because I questioned Manish Jain's 
assertion that there was no editor available in /bin.

To summarise:

There are several editors available ranging from ed (49604 bytes) and ee 
(60920 bytes) (both with two library dependencies) to emacs (in ports; 
5992604 bytes and 50 library dependencies in my installation) and probably 
beyond.

One of them, ed, is available in /bin and therefore in single-user mode.

Two of them, ed and vi, are available in /rescue and therefore in single-user 
mode even when something horrible happens and libraries are broken (although
/rescue/vi is currently slightly broken itself due to the termcap issue which 
is being fixed in -CURRENT and I hope will be MFC'd).

Anyone who wants /usr/bin/vi available in single-user mode can install FreeBSD 
with one large partition; or mount /usr once in single-user mode.

The original poster suggested that the fix for not having vi in /bin was not 
to have any editor at all in /rescue, which comprehensively misses the point 
of /rescue.

The only argument that's been advanced for moving vi seems to be ``vi should 
be in /bin because that's how I want it''. I find that argument unconvincing, 
but it's not up to me. I'm open to a sensible argument, if anyone has one.

I'll humour you... gedit is similar and better than notepad for BSD,
but there's nothing like 'edit' (actually a stripped down QBasic)
AFAIK. Maybe you should write one! Perhaps the closest thing there is
ee.

Re: xfburn fails with 'Undefined symbol "__malloc_lock"'

[Markus Hoenicka]

Quoting Manolis Kiagias :


Upgrading between major versions requires all installed ports to be
rebuilt, so they get linked to the new versions of the libraries.
I suppose you missed this step, older apps may still work but there is a
problem installing new ones.

Please see the instructions at the end of section 24.2.3 (portupgrade etc):



This is why I'm at a loss here. I upgraded the base system from the  
sources and then used portupgrade -af to rebuild all installed  
packages. Right after upgrading the base system, essentially  
everything from X to Emacs was broken (I tried, just for the heck of  
it). After running portupgrade, these problems were all fixed - except  
for xfburn.



(AFAIR,  if you upgraded via source, you will also need to run make
delete-old-libs in /usr/src after successfully recompiling ports)


I'll try that, as I've never seen this before. I definitely didn't do that.

regards,
Markus
