Sorry this doesn't work because the numbering of the ahci change with
the occupancy of the Hot-Swap Bays.

And that is my Problem. This i have tried first.

Any idea how i can fix which controller gets which number.

Labels are good for naming Drives but how does it help me if the root
filesystem changing device ids. I don't think the boot loader is able to
use the label for the root Filesystem.

just you labels. Chose the labelling method which fits best your file

put a root file system on all drives and make it bootable. I use this
trick also. You do not need that much space there to get the system up
compared to the size of current media.

Specifying the alternative version in /etc/libmap.conf (5) is a neater way of 
doing this.

The man page also shows you how to restrict the mapping to apply for only 
specified executables.

freebsd-update IDS

2012-10-27 Thread Mike Clarke 

I've installed 9.1-RC2 after using svn to download /usr/src. Shortly after 
rebooting into the new system, and just out of curiosity, I 
ran "freebsd-update IDS" and was surprised to see that it reported 735 hash 
mismatches. Some of these were for files modified locally like /etc/hosts but 
the majority were for files that I've not changed, e.g.

/usr/bin/clang-cpp has SHA256 hash 
8937eebfc2bd2d18d05b786a568fbff980cf1b5a7333b8133cb197e7cd48ffcc, but should 
have SHA256 hash 
36b39d8f00b1c5aab193d594ff67bfdb7a382b2bdb5b30c824254e9d658fbf8c.

Are svn and freebsd-update looking at different versions of the system or do I 
have a problem? Considering the very short time interval between installing 
the system and checking IDS I'm quite confident my system hasn't been hacked 
from outside.

Maybe I did not make it clear enough in the original message. The only
thing I installed from the installation DVD was the OS and the GNOME2
metaport. Everything else including FF and TB was installed from ports,
the tarball of which I downloaded just a couple of days back. I hope you
are not suggesting that I build the GNOME2 metaport too from the ports
directory : with my internet connection, that really would take me into
the next century.


Exactly that would have been the preferred solution. :-)




You should not manually copy things. At some point, something will
crash, and the ports infrastructure cannot take care of it. It's
easier to use a port management tool (like portmaster) to deal
with installing and updating of ports.


For the present issue, it seems logical that I would need 2 versions of
libpng : one for GNOME and one for the ports being installed. Having the
two versions reside independently in /usr/lib and /usr/local/lib seems
to be the only way out. I still must admit that it defeats the purpose
of having port management tools.


It also blurs the line between OS (/usr/lib) and additional
software (/usr/local/lib) directories. However, both directories
are used by the linker, so it looks possible (and probably better
than messing with symlinks in /usr/local/lib). Problems _might_
occur when updating world.

There is only one symlink (/usr/local/bin/libpng.so) and it points to

nvidia driver on amd64 (for asus nvidia gt 610)

2012-10-27 Thread Gary Aitken 
running 9.0 release

Being frustrated with my radeon hd-5550 video card which occasionally
(once a week or so) goes into some kind of reset loop, filling up
Xorg.0.log and crashing the system because /var is full...

I picked up an asus nvidia gt 610.
Downloaded the nvidia driver and tried to build it.

make ominously reports:
  ld: Relocatable linking with relocations from format elf32-i386-freebsd
  (nv-kernel.o) to format elf64-x86-64-freebsd (nvidia.ko) is not
supported.

Where is the elf32-i386-freebsd stuff coming from?
I unpacked the driver in a tmp directory and did a make install there.

I found the following which implied it is a make problem in 9.0:

http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-toolchain/2011-August/000265.html

I'm guessing it can be made to work but I need to define appropriate make
architecture variables, and I'm not sure how to do dat.
Hints?

BTW, can anyone explain why Xorg.*.log doesn't get closed and a new file
opened when it gets rather large and then rotate the way syslogs normally do?
It seems to rotate only when the server is restarted, or at least that's all
I've observed.

Thanks,

Gary

I'm surprised and curious about this...

Don't all devices, including SATA/AHCI controllers, get probed and
numbered in the order they are presented to a kernel ?

What can cause that presentation order to vary when physical connections
don't change ?

How could even an intrusive x86 BIOS "feature" change that presentation
order based on whether or not a disk is connected to a peripheral device
? Doesn't a BIOS stay ignorant of what is plugged into external
controllers, which have their own boot ROM ?

Certainly FreeBSD's kernel would not bother to reorder device numbers
based on what is connected to them lower down the chain after it's
discovered these "children", right ? (I'd be curious to take a look at
your dmesg, Gerhard)

I wish I could test this and figure it out on my own, but I don't have
the right hardware available to replicate it and VirtualBox only
supports a single virtual SATA controller. Using two identical (crappy)
ASMedia AHCI 6Gbps PCIe adapters, I wasn't able to get their ahci
numbering reversed by plugging or unplugging disks from them before
booting. But the mainboard's SATA controllers are driven by atapci
instead of ahci, so it's not quite the same...

I think any of the other label schemes will also work.  If you don't
remember which label is which device id, then 'glabel status' will show
that, but you shouldn't need to.

Thanks for your guidance Warren! I've also been reading a number of threads on 
the forums on this subject, to which you contributed.

Rather than face the scary prospect of using actual Math(tm) 8-) I was just 
going to create swap first at 8G, and let the freebsd partition fill the rest 
of the disk, however as I try to destroy previous non-aligned MBR and gmirror 
metadata, I'm running into issues:

"mirror/gm0s1 added, but partition is not aligned on 4096 bytes"

Below is a short screen shot of the commands used to destroy and then recreate 
gmirror. I'm currently running with non-geom ada0 as root, and am attempting to 
create the aligned partitions of gm0 on ada1. 

I'm not sure what to do to cause the MBR scheme to be aligned. Thanks for any 
feedback!

My apologies for the original double posting; 
saw a temporary reject in my maillog and thought it would turn into a real
one due to a past problem.

I found the following patch and applied it, 

  http://www.mail-archive.com/freebsd-toolchain@freebsd.org/msg00256.html

Also discovered I had downloaded the x86 version instead of the 64bit version.
"make CC=clang CXX=clang++ install" seemed to work; now on to testing it.

Sorry for the mixup.

re: Portupgrade now supports pkgng [/usr/ports/UPDATING]

2012-10-27 Thread Alexander Kapshuk 

Quick question about portupgrade's support for pkgng.

The /usr/ports/UPDATING says:
20121015:
  AFFECTS: users of ports-mgmt/portupgrade
  AUTHOR: bdrew...@freebsd.org

  Portupgrade now supports pkgng. To use pkgng, enable it in your 
make.conf,

  and convert your databases.

  This is optional and not currently required.

  # make -C /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/pkg install clean
  # echo 'WITH_PKGNG=yes' >> /etc/make.conf
  # pkg2ng
  # pkgdb -fu

Having done all of the above, I ran portupgrade to update all the pkgs 
that needed upgrading on my system, and got the message below:

root@box0:/root/tmp # portupgrade -varRP --batch -L '%s_%s'
USING PKGNG
Packages are not yet suported. Use pkg(8) directly.

That doesn't sound like portupgrade supports pkgng, or did I misread the 
message in the UPDATING file?

If my reading the code snippet below is right, portupgrade-2.4.10.2 does 
not support pkgng yet if pkgdb has been converted for use with pkgng 
using pkg2ng.

Re: Problem with libpng + Mozilla applications on FreeBSD 8.3

2012-10-27 Thread Manish Jain 

But Mozilla applications like Firefox and Thunderbird present
a peculiar problem - the buttons on the Tool bar/Menu bar do not
have any image on them.



The problem is not Mozilla-specific. I built Opera web browser from 
ports, and that too has images missing from its buttons.


Looks like I am going to have to contend with being less "image-inative" 
in the coming days.

It seems that the problem is in some dependency, not the "top port"
itself. This usually indicates that something in /usr/local is
dangerously out of sync, and in most cases, "wide re-installs"
solve such kind of problem.

You just need to imagine the images. :-)

It's a complex issue.  a purely imagine-ary solution is inadequate.

I'm afraid it requires one to Use Math(tm).  gpart show will at least show the

Thanks for your guidance Warren! I've also been reading a number of threads on 
the forums on this subject, to which you contributed.

Rather than face the scary prospect of using actual Math(tm) 8-) I was just 
going to create swap first at 8G, and let the freebsd partition fill the rest 
of the disk, however as I try to destroy previous non-aligned MBR and gmirror 
metadata, I'm running into issues:

"mirror/gm0s1 added, but partition is not aligned on 4096 bytes"

Below is a short screen shot of the commands used to destroy and then recreate 
gmirror. I'm currently running with non-geom ada0 as root, and am attempting to 
create the aligned partitions of gm0 on ada1.

I'm not sure what to do to cause the MBR scheme to be aligned. Thanks for any 
feedback!

This is new to me, I have not seen it before.  I had the impression that 
gpart put the bsdlabel partition table at a misaligned offset so that 
the actual filesystems in those partitions would land on an aligned 
block, but it never gave that message.  That comes from 
sys/geom/part/g_part.c, function g_part_ctl_add which starts at line 
645:


743 /* Provide feedback if so requested. */
744 if (gpp->gpp_parms & G_PART_PARM_OUTPUT) {
745 sb = sbuf_new_auto();

Thanks Warren!

I ended up just ignoring the not aligned warning from the "gpart add -t 
freebsd" and went on to add the freebsd-swap and freebsd-ufs partitions with 
"-a 4k" option.

Do you think I'm aligned?

Thanks!

The slice starts at block 126, and then the swap partition starts an 
additional two blocks into the slice, which is block 128, evenly 
divisible by 8 (4096 = 512 * 8).


The freebsd-ufs partition starts at 126+16777218, which is also evenly 
divisible by 8.


So yes, that looks aligned to me.

Why RELENG_9 branch is labeled as PRERELEASE and freebsd.org says FreeBSD is currently at 9.1-RC2 ?

2012-10-27 Thread Yuri 
RELENG_9 is supposed to represent the latest branch of 9.1. De facto, 
code says it is PRERELEASE (sys/conf/newvers.sh).

But freebsd.org on its front page says 9.1 is at RC-2.
So how can I get RC-2 through cvsup except through RELENG_9 which gives 
PRERELEASE ?

The problem is not Mozilla-specific. I built Opera web browser from

It seems that the problem is in some dependency, not the "top port"
itself. This usually indicates that something in /usr/local is
dangerously out of sync, and in most cases, "wide re-installs"
solve such kind of problem.




Looks like I am going to have to contend with being less "image-inative"

You just need to imagine the images. :-)



Hello Poly,


"wide re-installs"


Consider me a newbie here. How do I do wide-reinstall ? I don't mind 
pulling in and building a few more ports as long as it is not the whole 
GNOME2 metaport.



Thank you &

That's nowhere a correct terminus technicus or established word.
It just means that, for example, if you update one small library
that is incorporated by a dependency of a dependency of a library
part of Gtk, you need to recompile everything in relation to Gtk,
all Gtk programs, libraries and dependencies.

Manually tracing down the dependency could be possible, and maybe
"manual overrides" with symlinks and libmap.conf can work, but
if you update something here, in conclusion something there, it
could lead to even more trouble, forcing you to do much more
updates than you are willing to perform.

It could very well be the whole Gnome 2 metaport. :-(

PKGNG is a replacement for the pkg_* tools that record package data in
/var/db/pkg.

It also allows for binary package upgrades.

If you are wanting to use pkgng for binary packages, there's no need to
use portupgrade anymore. Just 'pkg install name', 'pkg upgrade', etc.
