FreeBSD console weirdness when booting from usb stick
Hi, I'm booting FreeBSD 8 from an USB stick, but when I do so, the console no longer works. They USB keyboard seems to do nothing, and during the boot process when the daemons are starting it seems like there is another keyboard attached on which the ENTER key is stuck. That is, while the daemons are starting the texts like Starting sshd... are interspaced with a bunch of blank lines, and after that, the screen fills with repeated copies of the login prompt. I cannot type anything. When I add or remove my keyboard it shows on the console as a bright white log line, which immediately scrolls off the screen again. Same when I remove it again. When I boot from the hard disks, this does not happen. The USB stick contains exactly the same stuff as the hard drives, since I cloned the hard drive with a dump/restore. Does anybody have a clue what's going on? Regards, Sebastiaan Copyright (c) 1992-2009 The FreeBSD Project.

FreeBSD as USB joystick
Hi, I'm wondering if I can turn my FreeBSD into a (very expensive ;-)) joystick. That is, I have a PS2 and want to be able to control it via my laptop. This would amount to connecting a USB cable between my PS2 and my laptop, and getting the PS2 to detect it as a joystick with the right identifier string, and being able to send button presses etc via my laptop to the PS2. Does anybody have any starting points as to how I can achieve this? Regards, Sebastiaan P.S.: For those of you who must know, I want to interface my electronic drum module (Roland TD-9KS) with the Rockband game. The idea is to use a cheap midi card and convert the incoming notes into joystick button presses :) smime.p7s Description: S/MIME Cryptographic Signature

PC USB controllers has only host mode, not device mode, so the answer is no. Ok, that's a clear answer. Are there any alternatives? For example a PCI expansion card that does USB device mode and is programmable? Might be difficult to get working under FreeBSD though maybe?

On -CURRENT carp tells you that's not supported: bridge0: carp is not supported for this interface type OTOH why do you even have to use the VIP from the remote side of the bridge? The only reason I can think of, for doing such a thing, is to get *all* traffic from the remote location through a single redundant router, the one with the VIP. Is this the case? It is indeed a single redundant router, though the traffic from the other side of the bridge (the OpenVPN clients) generally don't need to be routed redudantantly. The OpenVPN clients use OpenVPN's redundancy (multiple remote xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx lines), and thus use the non-redundant IP address of the OpenVPN client they're connected to as gateway (which is fine, because if the server dies OpenVPN connects to a different server anyway)... So I don't really *NEED* the CARP ip address over the bridge (the static arp works, so I have a working solution, albeit an ugly one; an ARP request generates a reply from every member of the redundant cluster). I guess it's just not a supported configuration yet and it's not my stupidity (in this case anyway ;-)) that's the problem.

esxi and freebsd vlans
Hi, I ran into the ESXi limit of 4 NICs per VM, so I figured I would work around this using FreeBSD's vlan devices. I made 2 test installs with the following interface configuration: test1: ifconfig em0 inet 10.10.10.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 ifconfig vlan create ifconfig vlan0 inet 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 vlan 22 vlandev em0 test2: ifconfig em0 inet 10.10.10.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 ifconfig vlan create ifconfig vlan0 inet 192.168.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 vlan 22 vlandev em0 I can ping the other machine using the 10.10.10.x IP address no problem, but the 192.168.1.x addresses don't work. I've tried setting the vlan id on the vSwitch to none and to 22, but in neither of the two cases does it work. Does anybody have FreeBSD vlan's working on ESXi or know how to get it working?

The IP address on em0 itself is untagged so it will work regardless of the port settings on the switch. VLAN 22 has the 4-byte header attached so the other side has to recognize the tag. Just to clarify, both VM's are on a single ESXi server on a virtual switch, so no network hardware is involved. It is possible to configure the virtual switch to be on no vlan and on a specific vlan, but in both cases it didn't work. I'll see if I there are more settings I can change on the virtual switch.

Re: Problem setting up PPTP server
Hi, I solved the problem, and I'll post the resolution for reference purposes. There were two configuration issues: 1) To enable MPPE encryption the encryption option on the bundle should be DISABLED, since MPPE lives in the compression layer and not the encryption layer; thus by commenting the set bundle enable encryption and set bundle enable crypt-reqd lines, this problem was solved. 2) Since the client (a linux ppp client) had the option require-mppe-128 enabled, the server got a config request for 128 bit MPPE stateless, but then rejected it. The reason for this was the set ccp enable mppc line, which should have read set ccp yes mppc since otherwise the accept flag is disabled. Finally, I have not found a way to force MPPE encryption on the *server* side. There seems to be no equivalent to require-mppe-128 or set bundle enable comp-reqd or something like that in mpd. Does anybody know a way to require MPPE in mpd? Regards, Sebastiaan Sebastiaan van Erk wrote: Hi, I'm trying to set up mpd (3.18) on a FreeBSD server to allow windows and linux clients to connect.

In Moz I can see the font visibly change to a non-AA version of it. In OO it is AA but the quality of the AA job is poor. For all your fonts to appear, you will need to add the directories to XF86Config. I.E. FontPath /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF Please excuse my ignorance here, but are Moz or OO gtk apps? I couldn't tell you about OO, but for mozilla (and it's little brother, phoenix), it uses gtk for font handling. once you get all the font paths added to XF86Config, install gdkxft, and as root, you should just need to run 'gdkxft_sysinstall'. there are a few options/modifiers for it, as well, so you might check out it's manpage once it's installed. What's the significance of the fact that TT fonts don't appear when I have the line in XftConfig but not XF86Config like the handbook says I should do? Is this the sign of a problem which is playing a role here? Well, the predominant problem is that for *any* fonts to be useable in x-windows, the fontpath for each must exist in XF86Config. You shouldn't need to edit XftConfig by hand at all, from my experience. Gdkxft creates/edits an XftConfig file for you, anyway, so any changes you've made prior to configuring it, would likely be overwritten. On my current system, i've even got shadowed TTF fonts on my terminals (which looks quite nice, i might add!). Try out the stuff I mentioned, and if it doesn't work, toss my an email and i'll try to get you up and running a bit more. So far, it basically sounds like you've got anti-aliasing for most regular apps working OK, but not gtk apps. Like I said, OO is just kinda wonky with font handling (imo). You might try installing a small port that doesn't use gtk to see if you notice any noticeable changes between the three. - erk To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

I dont want it to cover the toolbar. Third is if anyone uses root-tail could you post what options you use when you load root-tail? read it's manpage for a full list of options and whatnot. it's default position is to be in the top left, but you can change this with some experimentation. it's a little difficult to get it set to where you want it, but once you figure out what you're doing, it's a piece of cake. you can change the font size even more easily. anyway, read its docu. it's very straightforward and covers all your questions in detail. also to note: it doesn't cover the toolbar. afaik, it always stays behind everything. - erk!

Re: random reboots
i've actually had this problem also..however, it turned out to be a BIOS issue. i don't recall the specific setting name that i had to change, but there should be some kind of performance toggle or speed toggle between normal and turbo. switching it back to normal stopped the spontaneous reboots for me. dunno if this will help you in any way, but it's as much a possibility as anything, i suppose. - erik On Mon, 21 Oct 2002 23:19:15 -0600 RichardH [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: We are experiencing random reboots on 4.7.

Re: Athlon XP motherboards that work well with FreeBSD
I'll give a good nod to my current board, a Soyo SY-K7V Dragon Plus! VIA KT266A 100/133 FSB. It has onboard sound and LAN, but both are well supported, and can be put aside with a simple change under BIOS. It was a really good option for me, initially, because when I built this box, I was somewhat low on cash. The onboard stuff saved me a few $$$ early on, though i've since upgraded the sound card to a Soundblaster Live 5.1. It also has onboard RAID, and supports up to 3GB of PC2100 DDR-SDRAM. Very, very smooth little board, even with just 256MB. I haven't made use of the RAID yet, but from what I understand, it works just fine. Both the processor and mobo have come down quite a bit in price since I bought it, so you could probably get them cheaply from a place like newegg.com or directron.com...assuming you want something in the 1+ghz range. - erik On Thu, 10 Oct 2002 15:43:36 -0700 Corey Holcomb-Hockin [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I've been having trouble with my a7a-133.

qt30 png_write_chunk errors during make
I'm just finishing up installing FreeBSD on a 3rd machine here at my apartment, but i'm noticing a slight problem with qt30. any time i try to build a port that relies on qt30, the build breaks with a series of messages seemingly related to png. this is trimmed down considerably, but a small portion of those messages includes: /usr/ports/x11-toolkits/qt30/work/qt-x11-free-3.0.5/tools/qvfb/qanimati onwriter.cpp(.gnu.linkonce.t.writePNG__19QAnimationWriterMNGRC6QImage+0 x184): undefined reference to 'png_write_image' the other messages are essentially the same, with undefined reference to 'png_write_image' periodically changing to things like png_write_chunk. i apologize for not posting the entire set of errors, but they're on the other machine, and typing the entire string of errors would take quite some time (there are approximately 12-15). i've had this problem on all 3 boxen when trying to build qt or related ports, but somehow worked around it each time..i just can't recall how. I had assumed it would be fixed by now, but searching the archives and google didn't really turn up much, so i'm thinking this may be a unique problem i'm having. the system in question is a PIII 500mhz running 4.6.2-RELEASE, and the one i'm currently on (where it eventually worked) is an AMD Athlon XP 1500+ running 4.6.2-RELEASE. i don't think i made any significant changes to any Makefile's, so i'm wondering why it eventually succeeded before (and why it isn't now). the ports i'm trying to make are krss, cdbakeoven, qt, arts, and audacity. on the system that building qt eventually succeeded, i recall trying several of the ports in different sequences, like doing arts first, then trying kdelibs first, etc. i've tried the same thing on the pIII but nothing has worked thus far. should i possibly take this over to ports-? - erik To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
