Re: network with two gateways and one network card

I have a question. Perhaps someone can point me to a solution.

I have a server running FreeBSD 7.4-STABLE with one network card running ezjail
My network has two gateways.

The host is running as 10.10.10.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 with gateway 10.10.10.1
The jail must be running 192.168.178.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 with gateway 
192.168.178.1

Is this possible?
How to do it??
What kind of problems to expect?

Thanks for your time

No you can not use those ip address to connect directly to the public 
internet. Those IP address are reserved for private lan use only.
You have to explain how you are connected to the public internet and a 
diagram of your network would go a long way to help us to understand 
your setup. Also qjail far exceeds the ability that ezjail gives you. 
Check out the qjail port.

Tried -H with rsync and -cache-inodes in mkisofs. Saw the mkisoimages.sh
and used the same parameters (at least to my understanding), still with the
same result. The only thing left to try is to get it running on a dedicated
machine rather than in a virtualbox.

Re: little things

[Mike Woods]

Quoting Dan Nelson :


As far as network traffic info, ifconfig is used for configuring interfaces,
not monitoring them.  The "netstat -ib" command will give you total bytes
sent/received per interface, but the best solution is probably to poll them
with snmp.


Having just been looking into this on this very list I can confirm  
that snmp is the way to go, netstat uses 32bit counters and as a  
result the counter resets far to often to be of any real use (given  
that i'm calculating throughput so amount/time), net-snmp can be  
configured to use 64bit counters and is thus far proving *far* more  
useful!

I modify /etc/rc.d/netif and and insert a "sleep 15" after the ifconfig
loop. It is an obnoxious problem.

Clarification about AMD64 port for Core Duo

[Frank Lay]

Hello,

The CURRENT (9.0R) release notes have the following to say about the 
AMD64 port:


-->8-
As of this writing, the following processors are supported:
...
* All Intel Core 2 (not Core Duo) and later processors
...
-->8-

Yet I see many people on the Internet claiming that they're running 
FreeBSD version <= 9.0 successfully with Core Duos. What's the meaning 
of this? I own a C2D E8400 (Wolfdale) processor, would I perhaps be 
safer chosing the i386 port? Or is this all hyperbole?


I'd appreciate any time you could spare explaining this to me.

Cordially,
   Frank.

It's only been around on 8.x for about 6 months, so I guess you don't
have it. You can just install it in /etc/rc.d and add it as a
requirement for mountcritremote.

NFSv4 and file locking

[Leon Meßner]

Hi,

Does anyone know what you have to do to get locking working under NFSv4?
I tried the following:

# mount_nfs -o nfsv4,sec=sys ip.nfsv4:/nfstest /mnt/test
# mount | grep ip.nfsv4
ip.nfsv4:/nfstest on /mnt/test (newnfs)
# kldstat | grep nfs
62 0x8103f000 1015fnfscommon.ko
91 0x81054000 3008fnfscl.ko
# cd /mnt/test
# lockf testlockfile ls
lockf: cannot open testlockfile: Operation not supported

Client runs 8.2-RELEASE-p6, Server runs 8-STABLE from about a month ago.

cherio,
Leon

Core Duo processors don't have support for the 64-bit instruction set,
that's all, so they have to use the i386 distribution.  To verify, go to
http://ark.intel.com/products/family/22731 , hit the "Select All" button,
and then "Compare now".

Do not confuse the Core 2 Duo processors with the Core Duo processors.
They are not the same thing.

The original Core Duo (and Core Solo) processors were 32-bit only and
never became very widespread.

The later Core 2 series supports both 64-bit and 32-bit operation and
became quite popular, and I am fairly certain that most of the people
you say you have seen claiming to run FreeBSD with a Core Duo are
actually using a Core 2 Duo.  As for your own C2D E8400, well the 'C2D'
is short for 'Core 2 Duo', so yes it should support amd64 just fine.

We (VICOR) liked it (netwait) so much, we back-ported it as a package... and now
make it available to the public (as of today -- looks like you folks could use
it!)

NOTE: The package automatically enables itself as a requirement for
mountcritremote (pkg_add, add "netwait_enable=YES" to rc.conf(5) and reboot;
that's it).

As far as I can tell all directories are "directories" and not empty files.

Re: 3.6.13 firefox fonts are blurred on my 8.2 freebsd

[akshay sreeramoju]

Hi Volodymyr,

The image shows, (not sure how bad it is showing for you), more or less the
display I get from firefox and emacs. I will try to send a more detailed
image tonight.

Thanks for your attention.

You appear to be running in an 8 or 16-bit color mode; what does "xdpyinfo" say?
Most likely, you want to run in 24/32-bit color mode instead, to avoid apps 
grabbing a limited palette of colors

Re: Browser

I saw about 10 replies to your question already, but I haven't really
read them. I'm pretty sure a good portion of them, are going to say
basically "It depends on what you like" and some are probably going to
tell you how to install whatever browser they like personally.

You say you're new to Unix in general, so with that in mind, I'd
personally recommend something that's Cross Platform, something that you
can run on basically any Operating System, be it Windows, Linux, or
Unix, which helps narrow down the sheer number of Browsers available to
that.

FreeBSD has quite a few Browsers you can use, and I know it's probably a
little daunting for someone totally new to the Unix World to try and
pick one or two.

I'm going to give you some advice that I think may help you not only
now, but also down the road; I don't know what OS you were using before
you started using FreeBSD, but most likely, it was either Windows or
MacOS, since those are like the most common OSs on the Planet in terms
of Desktops.

One of the main things I do when I'm helping someone out, if they have
never used Unix or Linux before, and they're used to Windows, and how
Microsoft does things, is I try and help them to understand that in
Unix, and Linux as well, you may want to spend a little time installing
multiple variants of any given type of Application.

What I mean by this, is that in Windows, a lot of people who buy a
Computer, buy one from whatever place, and get this thing with Windows
pre-installed, and then, they have Internet Explorer on it, so they sort
of grow accustomed to choices being made FOR them.

Well in Unix and Linux, you basically have a choice in everything you
do. For example; In Windows, you probably had Internet Explorer, and you
may have downloaded Firefox, since it's gotten VERY popular over the
last few years.

It's also grown in bloat in my opinion, and I no longer use it because
the hardware needed to run it, is getting worse than some OSs.

Anyway, to answer your question about which browser, you should pick one
that you can use on ANY platform, since this is one way that you can get
comfortable with it no matter what OS you happen to be using, and then,
you'll be able to use it no matter what you're on.

I for example, use Opera the most. We have a bunch of Computers here in
my House, but personally, I only have one Windows Partition out of all
of them, which runs Windows 7. I use Opera and Seamonkey in Windows,
because as I said, I don't like Firefox, and I'm sure not going to use IE.

I also downloaded Safari to give it a fair try, and it's OK, but I have
grown to REALLY Love Opera. You can use Opera on basically every OS,
including Phones, and even the Nintendo Wii.

Opera is fast, stable, has a lot of cool widgets you can add to it, and
it has a very nice built in Email client, which will solve another issue
you may ask next :)

So, personally, I'd say do this:

Grab Opera, and Seamonkey. Seamonkey is a lot like Firefox, but it's no
where near as bloated and slow. So it's kind of a nice combo Web Browser
and Email Client Application all in one.

But again, I personally recommend you use Opera. I have Opera installed
on my Windows Partition, on my Nintendo Wii, Cell Phone, PC-BSD machine,
and all my Linux Machines.

Opera is starting to become the NetBSD of Browsers lol. It works on like
everything.

> Where and how would we install it? ( Im really new to unix)

Again, you have a choice here. You can install it by doing this as root:

pkg_add -r opera

Or, you can do this:

cd /usr/ports/www/opera
make install clean

It's basically up to you. That's one of the things I've found to be the
hardest for people new to Unix to understand when they come over from
Windows, is that you have choice in basically everything you do.

I help out a lot in my area with people who need Computer help, and if
they're getting into Unix for the first time, I help them out as much as
I can, and one day I could be installing Slackware for someone who wants
a simple clean desktop or Server, or, I could be installing BSD, or
helping someone understand that they REALLY can use ANY text editor they
wish for EVERYTHING they do lol. (You'd be surprised how many people are
so used to having to use whatever Text Editor Microsoft forces them to
use for whatever task they need it for lol). But yea, before I go on and
make you read a book worth of text, I'll just say simply:

It's up to you! You now have a choice in everything you do, and a choice
in how you do it!

Also, if you're using this for the very first time, you may want to
check out a few things:

http://www.freebsdmall.com/cgi-bin/fm/index?id=nQKcfktX&mv_pc=144

^That's the FreeBSD Mall. It's a WONDERFUL place to buy things related
to FreeBSD and PC-BSD, and I HIGHLY recommend you go there and check out
the Books Section.

On the right hand side, y

Sound on the system briefly interrupts when kde4 switches windows with nvidia card

[Yuri]

I have kde4 on 8.2 with translucency windows effect enabled and nvidia 
graphics driver.


Not every time, but with about 50% chance sound played by mplayer 
interrupts for ~0.5 sec when I maximize some window (ex chromium browser).


Is this likely a bug in nvidia driver that it locks up the system when a 
lot of OpenGL operations are in progress? Or is this a necessary evil 
and has to be this way?

I was hoping someone else might have an answer to this.  I figured I'd
chip in at this point just to say that I don't know of any mainstream
browsers, nor any browsers that I've tried out to see if they'd make a
good replacement for Firefox, that does any text-to-speech "natively".  I
think I remember hearing about such a beast a while back (three or four
years), but do not recall anything about it due to the fact I do not need
one.  Good luck in your search.

Install freezes (FreeBSD9) on ProLiant BL465c G1

[Ewald Jenisch]

Hi,

I'm having a hard time trying to install FreeBSD9 (64bit) onto a HP
ProLiant BL465c G1 (Blade-System):

The boot process (booting from CD) runs up to the point where it says 
usbus0: 12Mbps Full Speed USB v1.0
usbus1: 12Mbps Full Speed USB v1.0
usbus3: 12Mbps Full Speed USB v1.0
usbus3: 480Mbps Full Speed USB v1.0

Then - freeze :-(

No keyboard interaction possible - only power-cycle 
helps.

I've tried booting in verbose mode but with all those
messages scrolling by so quickly and the system finally
freezing I can't get much help out of them.

Next I tried booting from the Installation .ISO
with "ACPI off". This time I got a "KBD stack trace"!

Anybody out there seen this before?

Any cure/help to get FreeBSD running on this blade system?
(Please note that I've got a bunch of similar blades
running under 8.2 - no problems)

I've put two screenshots showing that happens on the net
under

http://www.jenisch.at/freebsd-9-no-acpi-crash-screenshot.jpg
and
http://www.jenisch.at/freebsd-9-acpi-freeze-screenshot.jpg

respectively.

Thanks much in advance for your help!

I've been using xxxterm basically since this email -- not exclusively,
but increasingly heavily, especially after a recent release (possibly
prompted by a question I posted to the xxxterm discussion forum) added
some more buffer commands for tab navigation.

I have actually taken to installing independently of the software
management system on one system, though I'm using the version in ports on
another (less-used) system.  It is surprisingly easy to add buffer
commands in source (and recompile) when needed, and (the rest of the
time) keybinding setup in the config file is even easier.

There are some capabilities of Firefox on which I rely for specific
purposes, including SOCKS proxy support and some stuff I get via the
extension system, that are not supported by xxxterm.  If I could get
everything else I use with Firefox in xxxterm, solving the SOCKS proxy
problem would be a relatively easy fix (via external tools), but because
I need Firefox for those other purposes as well I have not bothered.

What I am finding is that creative use of Sessions in xxxterm makes my
"workflow" with two xxxterm instances running much preferable for the
vast majority of purposes to any workflow I've been able to get working
in Firefox.  I keep one xxxterm instance just for the main_session
Session, for opening random pages, and the other instance for use with
other Sessions as needed.

All in all, I'm much happier with xxxterm than with Firefox, and only
lament the fact that there are a couple things I would like to be able to
do with xxxterm that I (so far) only get from Firefox.  I'll look into
the possibility of implementing some of them (such as functionality
similar to the HTTPS Everywhere extension, preferably compatible with the
URI list used by HTTPS Everywhere so that a separate list need not be
maintained) for xxxterm, and contributing patches to that effect, when I
find time.

Chrome has a native tts API that extension authors can use,
http://code.google.com/chrome/extensions/tts.html

I tried some random extension from the Chrome Web Store and it is
working really well.

Glen,

You have to download the ISO and either burn it to a CD or use a USB
key. Google "how to burn ISO"

The handbook can walk you through the installation.

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install-diff-media.html

Good luck and welcome to FreeBSD.

Ports with modern compilers

[Dmitry Sarkisov]

Hello list,

I'd like to try building my ports with features and optimizations modern 
complers provide.
A couple of q. here:

1. What's the safest (less painful) way to go - build with fresh gcc or 
clang/llvm?
2. Is it ok to build new ports with new compiler, while already having a bunch 
of them build with default gcc version 4.2.1?

TIA

Best wishes,

Dmitry Sarkisov

For portable code, there shouldn't be much difference in terms of getting a 
working result.  Clang tries to have better diagnostics than gcc; gcc has been 
around for a lot longer, and is much more likely to work with less-portable 
code due to GNU'isms.

Yes.  A more complete answer would be mostly, so long as nobody has changed C++ 
symbol mangling or a host of other details.  Have fun, but don't expect too 
much benefit from recompiling things with a newer compiler.

wireless and/or routing question

[Waitman Gobble]

Hello,

I am running 9.0-RC3 i386 on an Acer Aspire One D150. i am having trouble
with the wireless setup.

I have two wireless cards, the BCM94312MCG that came with it, and an
Atheros 5424/2424 that i swapped out. I can run the BCM with ndis and the
windows xp driver, and the Atheros with the ath driver that is installed
with FreeBSD. (But BCM/ndis is noticeably much slower, Atheros - no green
"wireless" light appears on netbook )

 i am getting the same results with either nic card, and i think i am just
missing something simple.

Hi, update-

i noticed if i start routed it complains...
p00ntang# routed
p00ntang# routed: wlan0 (10.0.0.21/24) is duplicated by ale0 (10.0.0.20/24)


so i tried shutting off ale0... now i can ping gw but still no luck getting
outside. :(

Now I feel like i "need to go back to networking school 101". lol.

If anyone has a hint to solve my routing situation I'd really appreciate it!

any help/suggestions much appreciated!

The solution is simple, but I know the frustration well.

Your problem is that the route is looking to go through your wired 
network port, you started the network on the wired and then switched to 
wifi so the routing needs to change.


Run as root: "route change default -interface wlan0" will fix that 
temporarily. To fix it permanently (better for a laptop situation 
anyway, I feel), setup a lagg port including ale0 and wlan0. See 
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/network-aggregation.html


Good luck and happy networking!

Hello,

I am running 9.0-RC3 i386 on an Acer Aspire One D150. i am having trouble
with the wireless setup.

I have two wireless cards, the BCM94312MCG that came with it, and an
Atheros 5424/2424 that i swapped out. I can run the BCM with ndis and the
windows xp driver, and the Atheros with the ath driver that is installed
with FreeBSD. (But BCM/ndis is noticeably much slower, Atheros - no green
"wireless" light appears on netbook )

  i am getting the same results with either nic card, and i think i am just
missing something simple.

The solution is simple, but I know the frustration well.

Your problem is that the route is looking to go through your wired network
port, you started the network on the wired and then switched to wifi so the
routing needs to change.

Run as root: "route change default -interface wlan0" will fix that
temporarily. To fix it permanently (better for a laptop situation anyway, I
feel), setup a lagg port including ale0 and wlan0. See
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/**handbook/network-aggregation.**html

Good luck and happy networking!

Thanks, that's very helpful - seems to be the issue. Getting rid of my ale0
ifconfig spec in rc.conf also seems to solve the problem. But I'm dropping
roughly 20% packets on ping so i'm going to see what's up.  Otherwise i'm
now semi-functional on the wireless connection.
Ahh, yes. Those were the days before lagg... endless frustration. I was 
looking at finding a way to use devd to run a script that made the route 
chan
