Re: Intel graphics card brightness control issue

2013-09-04 Thread Matthias Petermann 

Hi Ethan,

Zitat von "Ethan W. House" :


What could be causing my brightness control to not work on my Intel
graphics card. The acpi values change but no effect takes place.

ehouse@derpy ~ $ sudo sysctl hw.acpi.video.lcd0.brightness=50
hw.acpi.video.lcd0.brightness: 100 -> 50
ehouse@derpy ~ $ sudo sysctl hw.acpi.video.lcd0.active=1
hw.acpi.video.lcd0.active: 0 -> 0

I also have an issue were upon resume by machine reboots. I believe the two
might be related but I am not sure.

I found a couple of other email chains with similar issues but most of them
have been inactive for more then a year.


Which Laptop model do you have? This issue appears a bit familiar to  
me[1] - I have the same on my Thinkpad. As a workaround you could try  
to change the brightness by direct ACPI calls.


Preparation:

* install sysutils/acpi_call
* kldload acpi_call

Change brightness:

* acpi_call -p '\VBRU'   (Brightness Up)
* acpi_call -p '\VBRD'   (Brightness Down)

It might be that these calls are specific to Thinkpads, not sure if  
they work with others. You can try to find out with acpidump[1].


Kind regards,
Matthias

Custom release ISO questions.

2013-09-04 Thread Sergey 
Hi all!

Is there a way to create custom ISO without buildworld?
I just want to edit some configs and bsdinstall scripts for silent
automated install - why need to recompile whole world?
It will be great if you'll share some useful links about this process.

Thanks.

I'll check our clusters of firewalls to see if I've got any 8.4-RELEASE box
lying around, but don't hold your breath, we almost universally track
8-STABLE...

Network startup with age Ethernet device

2013-09-04 Thread Olivier Nicole 
Hi,

I want to set-up a small server from an Asus P5L-MX motherboard.

It has an onboard gigabit Ethrnet that works with the driver age. 

Problem is that at boot, I experience the interface to go up and down a
couple of times, and it is usually down when Apache try to start, so
Apache would not start (nor ntpd).

I resolved to add a 5 seconds sleep in /etc/rc.d/netif but there may be
a more elegant way to solve that.

Help is welcome.

Thanks in advance,

Olivier

In the extract of /var/log/message below you can see 6 seconds delay
between the ifconfig and the interface finally up and running. By that
time ntpd and apache have failed starting.

Hi,

To create a custom ISO, download the ISO you want to use as your base, 
use tar to extract the ISO into a new directory, make the changes you 
want and then run "mkisofs -V FreeBSD9 -J -R -b boot/cdboot 
-no-emul-boot -o ../freebsd_custom.iso ." from the new directory.

That will create a bootable CD.

What I did when making a custom install CD for my server (it's 1000s of 
miles away in a datacenter) was a slightly different approach.
I created a sparse file (sparse to save on disk space) the exact size of 
my server harddrive on my running BSD box, used mdconfig to give me a md 
device and pointed VirtualBox at it. Within a VBox session, I did a 
normal install (manually created the ZFS filing systems), made all the 
config changes I wanted, installed the apps I wanted then shut the VBox 
session down. I DD-ed in the md device and piped it to bzip2, creating a 
bz2 file. Added the bz2 file to the custom BSD install ISO and modified 
/etc/rc.local file to un-bzip the bz2 file, pipe it to mbuffer (so the 
opperator could see something was happening) and write the output to the 
harddrive, popping the reset line when complete.
When the server restarted, it was configured with all the right user 
accounts, ip addresses, nameserver settings etc.


Just my 2 pence worth...

Re: Intel graphics card brightness control issue

2013-09-04 Thread Ethan W. House 
I get a "Unknown object type '0'" error. Which interestingly enough is very
similar to the error I get when I use xbacklight "No outputs have backlight
property".

I have a Lenovo Thinkpad x230.

I will start playing around with acpidump after work.

Have you tried using netwait? 
I think that would involve putting enable_netwait in rc.conf, and
configuring an address for it to check; probably the gateway would be
good enough.

That will create a bootable CD.


(Found in ports/sysutuls/cdrtools)



What I did when making a custom install CD for my server (it's 1000s 
of miles away in a datacenter) was a slightly different approach.

Re: Question about a possible missing line/entry for file UPDATING (from http://svnweb.freebsd.org) - 8.4-RELEASE plus branches

2013-09-04 Thread Pablo Carboni 
Dear Damien,

I use to install and update 'Releng'  releases (plus patches, but  not
stable releases) in our production servers (Ok, I agree stable is fine, but
my main reason is to be conservative under some circunstances).

(BTW, You're right, on 8-STABLE branch, it appears the 'missing' line I was
looking for)

Just as a last comment, I've found this 'normal line' on stable branch (but
not on release/releng):

http://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/stable/8/UPDATING?view=log

Revision *251500*
-
(view)
(download)
(annotate )
- [select for 
diffs]

Modified *Fri Jun 7 15:52:33 2013 UTC* (2 months, 4 weeks ago) by *pluknet*
File length: 74494 byte(s)
Diff to previous
251026

Add the entry for 8.4-RELEASE.


(I think it should be added by someone to 8.4 releng branch). If this is
the case, shouldn't be sent this 'missing entry' to anyone by the means of
 'PR' ?

Thank you very much for your patience :)

Regards,
Pablo.

 Dear Sirs,

 Just for curious, today I was looking for the date/entry that belongs to
 FreeBSD 8.4-RELEASE inside UPDATING file, with no luck.

 Maybe I've made a mistake and I was looking inside a wrong file/url?

 It doesn't appear, neither

 http://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/release/8.4.0/UPDATING?revision=251259&view=markup
 (RELEASE
 branch)

 nor

 http://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/releng/8.4/UPDATING?view=markup&pathrev=254632
 (RELENG
 branch, currently last revision).

 (This 'little detail' includes sources for 8.4-RELEASE and branch
 8.4-RELEASE-p3, which I've downloaded recently).

 A quick & dirty search I've did on a 8.4-RELEASE-p3 box:

 grep "8\..*-RELEASE" /usr/src/UPDATING

 (There is no reference for '8.4')

 Thanks in advance!

 Regards,
 Pablo Carboni

Re: Question about a possible missing line/entry for file UPDATING (from http://svnweb.freebsd.org) - 8.4-RELEASE plus branches

2013-09-04 Thread Damien Fleuriot 
However minor the issue seems, I think it warrants a PR, if at least so the
entry is added for the next revision of 8.4-RELEASE.


Regarding -STABLE, while I respect your decision to be conservative and run
-RELEASE, I'd like to point out we've not run into any problem here, in
over 3 years with ~40 firewall boxes.

The FreeBSD Handbook includes a section on configuring ftpd. 
There's also a manual for ftpd itself (see 
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=ftpd).
Is that what you're looking for? 

Normally, an FTP client can use any directory ("folder") on the server
if it's logging in as a normal user, or any directory under the home
directory if it's logging in as an "anonymous" user. These details are
covered in the ftpd manual page. You shouldn't have any trouble creating
such a directory with no spaces in its name.

Good luck.

Is there anyone listening (reading) who has gotten netpgp working with
mutt?  I've been trying to sort out how to get it working as a
replacement for GnuPG, and have thus far failed to sort out how to make
it fit, and failed to find anything like a guide to using it for such
