FreeBSD 9.2-RELEASE doesn't correctly detect USB mouse/keyboard

Anyway, this should be easy to resolve - I suppose. With the virtual cd-rom (da0) presenting itself, FreeBSD will assume the modem is simply a mass storage device and leave it at that. You need to disable the virtual cd-rom in order to use the modem. Use Hyperterminal or putty or minicom (does it still exist?) to disable it. Here are the AT commands to do that: 1. To disable; AT^U2DIAG=0 2. To re-enable: AT^U2DIAG=1 After disabling, you should be able to see a device node for the modem - /dev/cuaU0.0 or something. They may be two devices or three. One of them is the modem And here is a ppp.conf which you can use - just change the APN (safaricom) to your provider's APN, change authname/authkey and also change the device to what you'll have gotten from /dev/ Hope that helps! u3g: set device /dev/cuaU0.0 set server /var/run/3g-internet 0177 set speed 921600 set timeout 0 set authname saf set authkey data set dial ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sTIMEOUT 2 \ \\ \ AT OK-AT-OK \ AT+CFUN=1 OK-AT-OK \ AT+CMEE=2 OK-AT-OK \ AT+CSQ OK \ AT+CGDCONT=1,\\\IP\\\,\\\*safaricom*\\\ OK \ ATD*99# CONNECT set crtscts on disable vjcomp disable acfcomp disable deflate disable deflate24 disable pred1 disable protocomp disable mppe disable ipv6cp disable lqr disable echo #nat enable yes enable dns resolv writable set dns 8.8.8.8 set ifaddr 10.1.0.2/0 10.1.0.1/0 255.255.255.255 0.0.0.0 add default HISADDR # See ppp.link* On 30 June 2013 01:00, Manish Jain bourne.ident...@hotmail.com wrote: Hi, I thought the manufacturer name was mentioned in the original message : Huawei (0x12d1).

Re: Release 9.1 and 3G usb Modem
On Windows, install the modem drivers and make it usable. Then connect to the port on which it is installed using putty or HyperTerminal. I am hoping you know how to do that. Then type the commands: at^u2diag=0 ENTER atz ENTER Disconnect modem and connect to FreeBSD. You will see the modem correctly identified and connected to a port. On Windows, when you go to Hardware-Device Manager, look at the Serial ports available. One of them MUST be the one the modem is using!

Thanks for copying me in, I'm not on this list.
You're very close!
You need to use ${UNIQUENAME}_SET, and to find the UNIQUENAME you need to;
[crees@pegasus]~% cd /usr/ports/www/apache22
[crees@pegasus]/usr/ports/www/apache22% make -VUNIQUENAME
apache22
Now we know it's apache22, we can use:
# (No need to bother with .if ${.CURDIR} any more)
apache22_SET+= SUEXEC
SUEXEC_DOCROOT= /www
SUEXEC_USERDIR= /www/*/cgi-bin
SUEXEC_LOGFILE= /var/log/suexec.log
I'm not sure what APACHE_PERF_TUNING is; you may find it's been
deprecated. Check with apache@ about that. If I've somehow missed
that, you can just add it to the apache22_SET list:
apache22_SET+= SUEXEC APACHE_PERF_TUNING
Hope that helps!
Chris
(corresponding to WITHOUT is ${UNIQUENAME}_UNSET)

One thing has crossed my mind now: What happens with make -DWITH_* in this new development of optionsNG?? I have manually built ports that way before. And what about those who want to use portinstall -m WITH_OPTx=1 WITH_OPTy=1, etc? Still works fine for nearly all ports, but just for apache ports there appears to be subtle problems with the logic since it's so complicated. That's why Olli chose to disable the WITH_ option style for Apache, and I think it was the right decision. I would suggest you learn the new (just as simple) syntax and see how you get on with it :) Chris I was thinking this optionsNG has already been adopted for all ports. Thanks for the examples though. They are good enough for me to learn the ropes.. -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ I can't hear you -- I'm using the scrambler. ___ 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

Re: Mail
On Sun, Feb 19, 2012 at 22:23, Daniel Lewis innervisionnetw...@gmail.comwrote: I just install free bsd 8.2 and i can send mail out but cant recieve. From recipient end its combining the hostname and domain name. Hi Daniel, In order to be able to receive e-mails on your server, a lot more is involved than just installing the box. Your domain name (e.g. danlewis.name) must be published in the web. I mean, you must have a registered domain name. After it being registered, it must have some special records published (DNS) and these records are called MX (Mail eXchanger) records. They must point back to your server's *public *IP address if it is the one you want to receive mail from. That public IP address needs to be static/permanent or some other special DNS (dynamic DNS) records need to come into play. Once all that is done, you will need to setup a fully-fledged mail server that can receive mail and let people retrieve it. In that case, you will need to run two applications - one is an SMTP server (the one that receives and places the mail into a 'mailbox') and the other being a POP3/IMAP4 server (the one that allows a user with a valid username and password to retrieve their e-mail from the mailbox). I suggest you start looking at Exim http://www.exim.org, Postfixhttp://www.postfix.org(for SMTP) and Dovecot http://www.dovecot.org (for POP3/IMAP). There are several primers for setting these up, and so be prepared to start reading all those and making decisions on what you need to do - because now you are an aspiring Server Administrator (mail server for starters, and I know soon you'll be becoming a web server, database server, etc administrator, for that is the life you have chosen:)) May I start by pointing you to the following primers: 1. Exim+Dovecot - http://exim4u.org/ 2. Postfix+Dovecot - http://www.purplehat.org/?page_id=4 The above two include using MySQL database as backend and have a GUI to manage, which means you will soon be getting your hands dirty with MySQL and Apache, and PHP - I feel so sad for you because of this, but it's life:-) 3. http://rob0.nodns4.us/howto/ - This one was just posted to this list today. It's about Postfix+Dovecot using SQLite database as backend. I guess there is no GUI to manage this. Remember, when faced with difficulties, a good sysadmin reads log files for the different applications s/he runs and tries to figure it out using Google, then when stuck, can post a question to a general mailing list like this one, or to a specific mailing list dealing with the particular application.

Which one? You need to specifiy modem brand/model and network provider to see if other have got that particular one working. Also check the Linux crowd (Ubuntu in particular) and then extrapolate to FBSD. I have a Huawei E1820 and I am in KE, using Safaricom. Someone can point me to a recent document detailing the steps. I have PC-BSD 9 on my laptop. Usually it's just a question of making the kernel mount the tty and the dial using something like wvdial. If it's popular and supported it's pretty easy, if not is still possible. Supporting the modem is usually a two layer problem first solving the multi-device problem on the USB bus, that is, selecting the correct device available (i.e. selecting the modem instead of the flash that contains the windows software), and then the actual kernel or userspace driver for that specific device (ZTE, Enfora, etc.). Luckily, I already disabled the flash/virtual CD-ROM that the modem contains. I got the AT string combo to do this. I also have one ZTE dongle that I don't want to talk about because I haven't managed to find a way to disable the virtual CD-ROM it contains. Ultimately, you get a serial modem and you just have to use AT command to dial, etc. and wvdial does a great job and it's quite easy to set-up and run. You know, sometimes all this process is what makes people shy off of *BSD. I am a diehard lover of FreeBSD, but the few times I have installed Linux on my laptop, this whole process was a breeze... well, not quite, but not as difficult as it is in FreeBSD. Luckily, I use WiFi more than I use 3G, so it's never quite bothered me. Even now, I just want to see how easy it can be on PC-BSD/FreeBSD, with a GUI to boot, if there is, but I do not feel it is such a big necessity for me, because I have D-Link DIR-825 which can use this modem on it's USB port and allow me to use 3G. -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ I can't hear you -- I'm using the scrambler.

Re: FreeBSD 9 and 3G Modems

The FreeBSD u3g driver ¶¶
Introduction ¶¶
This driver supports 3G (UMTS, HSDPA, HSUPA, HSPA) cards that provide
access to one or more serial ports through a USB interface, providing
PPP and AT command channels simultaneously. Some devices provide
access to multiple pairs of channels for integrated GPS', or other
access methods (Option HSO driver).
Transfer speeds should be above 30k on a good UMTS connection and a
fast server:
% curl -o /dev/null ftp://ftp.nl.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ls-lR.gz
% Total% Received % Xferd Average Speed TimeTime Time

12 19.9M 12 2486k0 0 40203 0 0:08:39 0:01:03 0:07:36
43921
Some (older) devices (from Sierra for example) provide 1 serial port
through a normal serial port or the normal serial USB drivers. They
usually support the ETSI / 3GPP 27.010 3GPPMultiplexProtocol, making
it possible to open a AT command channel and a PPP connection channel
simultaneously. A basic implementation which works on an Option
Globetrotter GPRS card is available. Contact me for details.
Verified to work ¶¶
See the man page.
Installation instructions ¶¶
The driver is available in both FreeBSD 7 and FreeBSD 8. The one in
FreeBSD 8 and up was written by Hans Petter Selasky. Consult
freebsd-usb@… for more information and bug reports.
The driver from FreeBSD 7 should be usable on FreeBSD 6, without too
many changes. You will need to patch ucom.c though with the attached
patch (see below).
Tricks ¶¶
To start your connection automatically use something like the
following snippet in your devd.conf:
attach 100 {
device-name ucom[0-9]+;
match vendor 0x12d1;
match product 0x1003;
action /usr/sbin/ppp -ddial kpn;
};
Some people have been able to get their device to successfully switch
from driver mode to modem mode using usb_modeswitch. You can compile
it on !FreeBSD with
cc -L /usr/local/lib -I/usr/local/include -lusb -o usb_modeswitch
usb_modeswitch.c
if you have libusb installed. The mass storage devices the devices
present should be available through ugen. Note that umass must not be
present in your kernel nor as a module (or it should be made to ignore
these devices).
To see signal strength for example while online:
Start ppp (See also PPPFor3GModems).
prolly that could help.
I read this, but one thing I am sure about is that those details need to be
changed to reflect what I have on my system.
But I'm trying to see if there is an easier way out.

Re: A quality operating system
Windows 7 Ultimate or Windows Server (whichever version) that can do the same things you wanted. Perhaps you will find it easier with Windows? I must ask if you tried it with Windows - since there are free evaluations you could download and test. You should not waste time with FreeBSD in such a case. Even when you get big parts of the operating system correct, it's the thousand little details that have been forgotten, ignored or snootily written off that add up to many hours of frustration for the end user. This is not necessary frustration, and they get nothing out of it. It seems to exist because of the emotional and social attitudes of the FreeBSD team. Sadly, Ron is right. FreeBSD is not right for us, or any others who care about using an operating system as a means to an end. FreeBSD is a hobby and you have to use it because you like using it for the purpose of using it, and anything else will be incidental. That is the condition of FreeBSD now. If these criticisms were taken seriously, I believe the situation could change, and I hope it does. Just use MS Windows as it perhaps does everything for you. Better still, just use Linux if it does what you want. There is no need to cry out of this when you don't pay a dime! -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ I can't hear you -- I'm using the scrambler.

I fail to see why a manufacturer would *not* want your hardware to wear out faster, since that would mean you would have to buy replacement hardware sooner. Can someone please enlighten me on the dangers faced by those who opt to get their laptops installed with SSDs? In many cases, particularly where there is quite a lot of RAM installed in the system and where people use a netbook the way it was intended to be used when designed (typically involving a lot of Web browsing and not much else), SSDs might be the best option -- especially given the rapid obsolescence of low-performance, ultra-portable units. If you expect your hardware to last a long time, overrun physical RAM into swap space a lot, and (as you might with FreeBSD) compile code an awful lot, the heavier storage-write load might make more of a difference in the expected lifetime of the hardware. With FreeBSD, installing everything from binary packages can help mitigate the possible problems of shortening the life of your SSDs. Of course, if you care about having lots of storage, it's worth keeping in mind the fact that SSDs still cost a lot more per gigabyte of storage than rotating magnetic media (HDDs). I personally have one, with a Toshiba 128GB SSD (THNS128GG4BAAA-NonFDE). I am running Windows 7 on it. Should I stop and buy a SATA disk?:) Probably not. You already have the SSD storage, and its improved performance for many operations (as well as improved durability under stress in the short term) can still be of benefit. Just be sure you know when the usable lifespan of your SSD approaches, keep good backups (as you always should anyway), and be happy. You'd surely be happier with a better OS on it, though -- right? Hehee, Chad, on the Desktop, I'd rather run the ratware from Redmond than try FreeBSD! The second choice would be Linusware (not that I know much about it, but just because it seems to support certain aspects which would otherwise be painful to get to work with FreeBSD). Third option is PC-BSD (which is what you mean with better OS). All my servers run FreeBSD though. The better OS is not so better at the Desktop, hence the choice of ratware:-) -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Damn!! ___ 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

All the servers are in production.

Please stick with php-5.2.x unless you are sure php-5.3 will not break some web apps you are running. upgrade php-extensions the same way. can i upgrade or is it better to rebuild it from the scratch (because of major version changes)? You can upgrade. Please follow the instructions from http://people.freebsd.org/~rse/upgrade/freebsd-upgrade-7x-8x.txthttp://people.freebsd.org/%7Erse/upgrade/freebsd-upgrade-7x-8x.txt Just note one thing I noticed while upgrading my servers: s/compat7x-`uname -m`-7.2.702000.200906.1.tbz/compat7x-`uname -m`-7.3.703000.201008.tbz/g 2. do a binary upgrade of OS according to handbook http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/updating-upgrading-freebsdupdate.html You can do that, but I personally prefer http://people.freebsd.org/~rse/upgrade/freebsd-upgrade-7x-8x.txthttp://people.freebsd.org/%7Erse/upgrade/freebsd-upgrade-7x-8x.txt.

I have two scenarios for this: I. 1. restore a server from a backup on a dedicated machine. 2. do all the upgrade procedures on this dedicated server. 3. clone this upgraded server to the original server. 4. Repeat this procedure for each server. Advantages: - almost garanteed reliability. Disadvantages: - need to sync data from the last backup with current one. - takes very long time. Too tedious!! II. 1. restore one server from backup on a dedicated machine. 2. do all the upgrade procedures on this restored server. 3. write some sort of script that does the upgrate (or makes it easier). 4. upgrate all the servers (since they are almost identical) one at a time. Advantages: - should be faster Disadvantages: - something might go wrong on some particular server(s). Too tedious!! Which method would you sudgest? As I suggested above!! Is there any other method or maybe enhancements ones to do the upgrade? ?? How can it be used that all servers are almost identical?

MySQL 5.5.7-5.5.8 Gotcha!
I am seeing a problem I am unable to solve after upgrading from 5.5.7 - 5.5.8.

MySQL 5.5 has been updated to 5.5.8 GA release. Since layout is

before upgrading. The build system is changed too, so expect
failures.

Now that seems pretty scary. Remove all mysql packages from my system?!?!

I have important data in my current mysql install.
If there is no reason for you to run it, then keep off.

I would like to upgrade one of my servers from 7.2 release to 8.1 stable. I've done this on other servers and all went well. But with this one I can't get through. I'm testing all this in virtual machine where I transfer all data from real server. Here is my procedure 1. cd /usr/src 2. make update (using RELENG_8) 3. make cleanworld make cleandir 4. make buildworld 5. make buildkernel Through here everything works, but from now on I tried manny different steps but unfortunately I can't make it work. If I run make installkernel and reboot the server with single user a new kernel loads ok the only problem I have is that some of the programs don't actually work. For example awk /libexec/ld-elf.so.1: /lib/libm.so.5: version FBSD_1.0 required by /usr/bin/awk same problem is with ps, more etc. If I continue to run mergemaster and make installworld nothing really works, because installworld throws me a bunch of errors because some of the utilities needed does not work at all. So I tried other method. After make installworld I put server in single user mode without restarting (shutdown now). From there I can continue with 7. mergemaster -p 8. make installworld 9. make delete-old 10. make delete-old-lib 11. mergemaster Btw I tried reversing order of step 10 and 11 but it make no difference. Then I reboot the machine and first it looks I'll done my job well but right after it started complaining about the same thing as with awk but now with ps etc. and then crash with kldload process. The only thing that it works is single user mode. Because of all the problems with buildworld stuff i tried to use freebsd-update utility but this one failed even more. So I abandon this idea completely. I would appreciate some help to successfully upgrade this server. Fresh install is at the moment no option. Server is running 7.2 release with amd64 kernel.

It'll be a while before 9 is ready for production, and when it is released, it should be pretty straight forward to upgrade from 8.x using the standard buildworld cycle, provided your setup isn't too outlandish! Update 6.4 to 8.x?? Or you mean some upgrade path like install 8.x and then migrate services?:-) Since you're crossing two major versions, I'd go for a clean install. You could conceivably go straight to 8 using buildworld, but I think the safest and simplest course of action is to take good backups and start from scratch. As for going from 8.x to 9.x, that should be pretty easy, if, as I said, your setup isn't too far from the default. But of course, only you can make that call. My servers are pretty easy to migrate. It's just a case of a fresh install, install the applications, migrate the configs and data/databases since I try and keep up to date with the application versions as much as possible. The only thing that changes significantly is the base system. I will go for a clean install. Sometimes back I saw some instructions to upgrade upwards (6.x -7.x -8.x) but I cannot find them anymore, although the only time to do those are when the system is in the room next:-) -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ If you have nothing good to say about someone, just shut up!. -- Lucky Dube ___ 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 use and like both FreeBSD and Linux but some things are easier in one than the other. Again, many thanks. man 5 crontab has: @reboot Run once, at startup But this will always run every reboot, no?
