Boot hangs on ZOTAC ZBOX (Via Nano X2)
Hi, I've got a ZOTAC ZBOX nano VD01 (http://www.zotacusa.com/zbox-nano-vd01.html). The boot process (9.1-RELEASE, amd64) hangs after Timecounters tick every 1.000 msec. I tried with ACPI off, but it crashes. Here's a pic with Verbose turned on: http://i.imgur.com/DQJkmoV.jpg I've found this post about adding some PCI ids: http://www.mavetju.org/mail/view_message.php?list=svn-src-vendorid=3610911raw=yes The box gets mentioned in the list. Has this been been committed to 9.1? Does it have anything to do with the issue at hand? Finally, tried with 10-CURRENT (amd64-20130105-r245067), no luck. For what it's worth, here's what it looks like with verbose on: http://i.imgur.com/L938PH2.jpg Thanks. ___ 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

Do I need to use sysutils/ataidle to avoid high LCC for my hard drive?
Hi list. I am currently running FreeBSD 9.1-PRERELEASE on my laptop. And I am wondering if I still need to use sysutiles/ataidle to avoid high Load Cyle Count for my hard drive. Is there still a need to run this utility to avoid LCC under FreeBSD 9.1-PRERELEASE?

implications of adding root to a group
Hello, I've been looking at the /etc/group and have noticed that some groups have root included in them, for example operator. Is it not implied that root has access to all things and groups? What is the purpose of adding root to a group? If I add root to some new arbitrary group, what does it result in differently than if I do not add root to that group?

VirtualBox USB support
Hello in the FreeBSD handbook it mentions there's USB support in Virtualbox. In other sources I read however that the VBoxPuelMain module is not supported in FreeBSD. So I'm wondering if the VBox extension pack needs to be installed since it is not mentioned in the Handbook. When trying to install the extension Pack, I get the VBoxPuelMain error, but without this and following the instructions in the handbook, my guest OS's don't see any USB devices (Nor do I see them in preferences of VBox) Thanks in advance for letting me know if this should work or not.

Re: AHCI driver and static device names
On 2011/12/03 at 10:51, Rob li...@midsummerdream.org wrote: I was getting ready to install the latest FreeBSD 9-RCs image, and I found that 9 now defaults to using the ahci driver for sata disks. This would be great if it weren't for the fact that the ahci driver seems to do dynamic device name assignment as opposed to the static ones used with the older drivers. I've looked around on google and while this is mentioned (in old threads), the solution is to use labels or elaborate mapping via hints which really aren't solutions imo. If I have 15 disks in an array, I want to be able to label them and know which bay is which device name. If I have to replace a drive, I have no idea what dynamic device name it will have when it comes time to partition (and label, if I were using that). I could probably figure it out by looking at what disks are used on the system, but that's more work that it really should be. It seems AHCI driver uses static naming policies if you have 'options ATA_STATIC_ID' in your kernel configuration. Anyway, I just have one SATA disk, which the system recognizes as 'ada4'. I don't know whether this will apply in your case. Is there a way to use the ahci driver and get static device names?

Furthermore, If you plan to run a desktop environment, your /usr/local should be big enough, say 8G - 10G, to hold all stuff you built from the ports. And putting /var on a separate partitiion is a good idea, I think. You can find detailed information on how to lay out and size your partitions in tuning(7) either locally or online. The one directory I really want to put on a separate partition is /home . That way, you can fully rebuild/redo your system and keep user data. Yes. I always put /home on a separate partition. Actually, my /home is on a ZFS partition which is of more scalability and easier snapshots. I don't like to put /var on a separate partition because of the danger of running short of space. I had nervous moments when running freebsd-update on the older computer and seeing the used part of /var grow. I always size /var to 2G or 3G, which is typical for me. I seldom run freebsd-update, but upgrade from sources instead. I only encountered problems with Xorg that crashed filling up /var with core dumps... I don't really see a need to put /usr/local on a separate partition, though conceivably you could build applications with both FreeBSD ports and NetBSD pkgsrc, but keep these separate. NetBSD pkgsrc has been ported to other (quasi-)Unixes including FreeBSD. Default directory corresponding to FreeBSD's /usr/local is /usr/pkg . It is long before I started thinking of joining /usr and /usr/local into one partition. However, my current installation dates back to FreeBSD 6 or 7. Many things changed exept the filesystem layout. I think I like FreeBSD ports better than NetBSD pkgsrc, the latter which I used only with NetBSD. I originally installed FreeBSD 9.0-BETA1 using bsdinstall on the USB stick, including the ports. There was a conflict when I ran portsnap fetch update, that didn't work. I had to run portsnap fetch and portsnap extract, scrapping the ports tree from bsdinstall in favor of the fresh ports tree. So now I know best to not install ports tree from bsdinstall; this would presumably apply for sysinstall too. I guess 'portsnap fetch update' is run only after the ports tree is there. For a fresh install of the ports tree, 'portsnap fetch extract' is the correct way. For me, I only pull the ports tree with 'portsnap'. That way, I can complete a fresh install of FreeBSD in less than 20 minutes.

You don't mention how you are installing/deleting.
Try:
# pkg_delete -f firefox\*
# cd /usr/ports/www/firefox
# make install clean
# ls -l /usr/local/bin/firefox
I've always installed it from ports, I'll also try the pkg_delete and reinstall
from ports as you mentioned.

Firefox clean installation but does not execute
Hello, I've installed Firefox36 from ports, it installed without a problem but it does not launch. In other words, there's no firefox file on my system. Had it installed before and working, then to clean out the system with unnecessary ports, I removed all ports and reinstalled only what is necessary. Somehow now I can't get firefox to work. The installation runs through cleanly, but when I try to run firefox, the system just responds with 'command not found' fabry@desmo 7:27 % pkg_info | grep firefox firefox-3.6.22,1Web browser based on the browser portion of Mozilla afabry@desmo 7:28 % firefox firefox: Command not found.

RE: A quality operating system
-Original Message- From: owner-freebsd-questi...@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-questi...@freebsd.org] On Behalf Of Antonio Olivares Sent: Saturday, August 20, 2011 6:06 PM To: Evan Busch Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: A quality operating system All of this adds up to a quality operating system in theory that does not translate into quality in reality. You alienate users and place the burden upon them to sort through your mess, then sneer at them. You alienate business, professional and artistic users with your insistence on hobbyism. These people have full lives; 48 hour sessions of trying to configure audio drivers, network cards or drive arrays are not in their interest. 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. 1) Is someone pointing a gun to you and forcing you to use FreeBSD? 2) A system is as good as its users, and you my friend might not be an adequate user 3) If you don't like it Don't Use it! 4) Many of your opinions are just that opinions and not facts. They remind me of the saying Opinions are like assholes, everyone has one :) 5) The community is excellent and very helpful. Sure some questions might go unanswered, but in any list you have all kinds of folks, folks that are very helpful and folks who tell you to READ and find out for yourself. Also, if you want additional support you may also pay for it. There is no such thing as a Free Lunch. There are several BSD certification courses you may take and be a true power user. 6) Every system out there has its advantages disadvantages. You don't have to come insult the people who run/use FreeBSD just because it does not suit your tastes. 7) For the audio drivers network cards part, Have you asked about it? Have you done some work? Have you run $ su - passwd # kldload snd_driver # cat /dev/sndstat # ifconfig -a and check which interfaces are shown and have tried to prompt network with one of them? Do you expect everything to be done for you like other systems who have spoiled you? You can compare FreeBSD to other systems and it has been shown that it is a Giant among Giants. If you wanted some handholding along they way, you could have tried PC-BSD. 8) I have used many systems, and I have had some difficulties with FreeBSD. Is it FreeBSD's fault? No of course not! I have found help from many caring users and fixed many of them. I shot myself in the foot several times and complained to myself why does FreeBSD seem too hard? It is what you make of it. You have to invest some time, and don't expect things to just happen. 9) If you came across with a different tone or perspective, then you could get more positive feedback. You are attacking a community that does not OWE you anything. You could have made some suggestions but in a friendly way not like you did. 10) Have a nice day and enjoy your OS of choice be it whatever it is.

I have a non root login for regular stuff.
To me the .profile looks ok, and I can't really say why it doesn't work.
However, do not use a shell that's not in the base system for root. Some
would point security issues, but I don't know much about those when it
comes to bash, however, if you need to boot into single user, you may
get into troubles with a shell not in base.

If it does overwrite the label, you most likely specified the da0s1d to the geli init command. You need to specify label/data (replace data with the name you choose). Ah!

How can I implement true vps with FreeBSD as a host?
Greetings. I have been searching for solutions to the problem of jails not being truly encapsulated environments. I have looked at the Xen information for freebsd and it appears to be still a bit premature, as compared to NetBSD. Does anyone have any good resources or advice on how to begin implementing true-vps functionality using FreeBSD as a host? I am still researching what work has been completed on Xen-freebsd port, and am actually new to researching Xen in general, so any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance, for any input. -- Respectfully, Martes G Wigglesworth M. G.

Re: How can I implement true vps with FreeBSD as a host?
Just wanted to clarify: I do understand that Xen runs under the dom0 OS however, I keep forgetting to use the correct terminology. sorry about that. I guess the requirement is that FreeBSD needs kernel work to run as a hypervisor-aware dom0 Operating system. I may want to check on what I am really trying to do. I really just want to have a fair, and/or encapsulation of jailed environments. Is there really no other way to do this without running VBox? Has anyone ever investigated a fair resource manager for jails on BSD before?

And finally I think you can jail a jail now, so that might be useful- especially in CPU allocation. I was thinking about possible DoS issues with memory management, however, I have not read far enough into the Jails docs to find out if there is anything new in this arena.

On 12/05/2010 10:53 PM, Da Rock wrote: Is it possible to use FreeBSD to create three jails on one box, so that one jail can be a router to the internet, and the other two can be webservers? What you seem to need is to run the host as a router, and create two or three more jails on top of that router kernel. The default should be a router and the secondary functions should be the jail. I think you just need to read a bit more on how jails are used on the BSD platform and it will be clear to you. I wanted to create an environment where if one webserver got compromised, the other webserver would be unaffected. This would be the true use of jails in your environment. You want to isolate web services such as Apache installs into jails so if they get compromised then you don't have to worry about the rest of the system becoming completely compromised. So I would also like to make a jail to be a samba server. I believe that you can install samba inside a jailed environment as well, however, I have never done this, so I am not familiar with how it will be done, however, I have a Bind-9 environment where the external internet interface serves the internet my public information, and there is a second jail which hosts dns for the internal segment. So I can see how Samba can be installed in a jail, and it would make appropriate sense to do so. I hope this helps you in your investigation(s). -- Respectfully, Martes G Wigglesworth M. G.

Build World fails on 7-stable with cvs sources
Greetings. I have cvs'd to the most current 7-stable source tree and have compiled a kernel using these sources. However, when I attempt to complete the buildworld process, I keep getting failures in the below-listed areas. Does anyone know of an issue with these sources? I see that this release is now considered legacy so I hope I am not at end of life on this source tree. The system is just an edge router so I am just updating to the newest stable release due to the assumptions that there may be some fixes included in the sources. I have my own patched ipfirewall sources, (don't feel like writing a script for ipfw to run and figure out why it isn't running at boot, etc),however, I have not installed them yet, since I have not patched anything on this test upgrade box, yet. I have the full logs from build world and kernel build, if someone would like to see them. (very long, and don't fail until the point listed below) The kernel kept failing as well, until I used the old method by hand, in the /usr/src/sys/i386/conf directory. That is another question that I would like to ask. Why am I able to compile and install a kernel just fine using the old method, however, using the make buildkernel... method fails on some obscure module that I usually don't even have included within the config file? gnu/lib/libgomp (buildincludes) sed -e 's/@OMP_LOCK_ALIGN@/4/g' -e 's/@OMP_LOCK_KIND@/4/g' -e 's/@OMP_LOCK_SIZE@/4/g' -e 's/@OMP_NEST_LOCK_ALIGN@/4/g' -e 's/@OMP_NEST_LOCK_KIND@/8/g' -e 's/@OMP_NEST_LOCK_SIZE@/8/g' /usr/src/gnu/lib/libgomp/../../../contrib/gcclibs/libgomp/omp.h.in omp.h === gnu/lib/libregex (buildincludes) sed 's=posix/regex\.h=gnu/posix/regex.h=g' /usr/src/gnu/lib/libregex/regex.h regex.h.patched === gnu/lib/libregex/doc (buildincludes) === gnu/lib/libreadline (buildincludes) === gnu/lib/libreadline/history (buildincludes) === gnu/lib/libreadline/history/doc (buildincludes) === gnu/lib/libreadline/readline (buildincludes) === gnu/lib/libreadline/readline/doc (buildincludes) === gnu/lib/libstdc++ (buildincludes) Segmentation fault (core dumped) *** Error code 139 Stop in /usr/src/gnu/lib. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src/gnu. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src/gnu. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src. -- Respectfully, Martes G Wigglesworth M.

fsync: Linux vs FreeBSD
Someone recently posted on one of the PostgreSQL Blogs concerning fsync on Linux/Windows/Mac OS X, but failed to make any comments on any of the BSDs ... the post has to do with how fsync works on the various OSs, and am curious as to whether or not this is something that also afflicts us: http://rhaas.blogspot.com/2010/10/wal-reliability.html From reading our man page, I see no warnings similar to what the other OSs have, specifically: Mac OS X: For applications that require tighter guarantees about the integrity of their data, Mac OS X provides the F_FULLFSYNC fcntl Linux: If the underlying hard disk has write caching enabled, then the data may not really be on permanent storage when fsync() / fdatasync() return. So, do we hide the fact, or are, in fact, not afflicted by this? Thanks ... Marc G.

Let me first make sure that I answer correctly: I do interpret your question about a point and shoot digital camera as a question regarding a photo camera primarily, not a movie camera. I hope that's correct. Nearly all cameras work - either by accessing the FAT file system on the card (or internal memory), or by PTP commands - both should be standard, and some cameras can even be switched from one to the other standard. I own the following (digital) cameras, all working with FreeBSD (list position indicates quality, quite): - Canon PowerShot S3 IS - Kodak EasyShare CX6330 - HP PhotoSmart M407 - Mustek MDC 3500 - Aiptec Pencam (AEG Snap 300) Basically, you can use nearly ANY camera with FreeBSD. It's just important that at least ONE of the existing access standards is supported by the camera - USB direct storage access or PTP functionality. (I'm concentrating on USB cameras here, allthough Firewire based cameras should also work, but I don't own any, so I can't be more precise about this interface.) There's also a workaround you should know about: If the camera does NOT allow you to access its files through the camera, you often can eject a SD or CF card. Many PCs today include readers for those media. And if the reader complies to USB standards, it can be used with FreeBSD. My Casio Exilim EX-S12 works perfectly, and identifies itself as a USB Mass Storage device, i.e. it gets a daX device node in /dev. I used to have an Olympus SP-500UZ, which also worked perfectly as a USB Mass Storage device. Neither of those are current models, but I doubt that either Casio or Olympus have stopped supporting USB Mass Storage (IIRC the Casio can be set to either USB Mass Storage or PTP). ___ 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

BSDStats: Status Report
News: Its been almost three weeks since we fixed a bug with the stats collector that was causing alot of reportings to get lumped under 'Panama', and our numbers are back up (or above) where they were before we effectively re-set the statistics. At the suggestion of one person, we have setup an internal mailing list that can be used for bug reports / future developments, so that we do not have to deal with a whole bunch of different mailing lists. To subscribe, please send an email to: general-subscr...@bsdstats.org In order to reduce the potential for spam, this is a closed list ... you have to be subscribed to post to it ... === Status: As of this posting, we are getting reports in from all the *BSD variants: PCBSD 4 872 FreeBSD1 627 DesktopBSD 154 NetBSD43 OpenBSD 15 DragonflyBSD 14 MidnightBSD3 MirBSD 3 Country wise, we are seeing reports from 102 countries, with the top 10 countries currently being: United States 1 421 (popular: PCBSD) Russian Federation 648 (popular: PCBSD) Germany 459 (popular: PCBSD) Panama 451 (popular: FreeBSD) Australia328 (popular: FreeBSD) Ukraine 307 (popular: PCBSD) Japan232 (popular: PCBSD) United Kingdom 190 (popular: PCBSD) Italy174 (popular: PCBSD) France 169 (popular: PCBSD) For more information on the project, please visit http://www.bsdstats.org The sites includes basic instructions for installing / running on the various *BSDs ...

BSDStats: Project Status on May 13th, 2010
Status: Over the past two weeks, there has been alot of work performed on the backend, including fixing a few bugs that were recently reported. As a result of using HAProxy to load balance and help ensure uptime for reporting clients, someone recently reported that although their sent in their report, their country wasn't going up in the 'Countries' states. This bug has been fixed (HAProxy was reporting Proxy IP vs Client IP) and we reset the stats period to 1st of May, causing a sharp drop in #s that has slowly been climbing back up again. The result of the change is that now Panama isn't the largest distribution of PC-BSD anymore, but the USofA is back in that lead, with Russia quickly following. Stats Summary: As of May 13th, 2010 (based on reporting ~2 weeks of reporting period since fix) , the project has 3 733 hosts that have reported in, broken down as follows: PC-BSD2 357 hosts FreeBSD 1 243 hosts DesktopBSD 78 hosts NetBSD 34 hosts OpenBSD 12 hosts DragonFly 9 hosts MirBSD0 hosts MidnightBSD 0 hosts GNU/kFreeBSD 0 hosts We currently have hosts being reported in from 88 countries, with the top 10 being: United States 752 Panama332 Russian Federation332 Australia 271 Germany 204 Ukraine 173 Japan 121 Canada101 Brazil 89 United Kingdom 89 Project URL: http://www.bsdstats.org Project Objective: The mission of this site is to compile semi-accurate numbers for advocacy and marketing of the *BSD operating systems. PC-BSD, to the best of our knowledge, is the only one that defaults to enabled, while the rest have to be enabled manually. For FreeBSD users, you just need to install /usr/ports/sysutils/bsdstats to set things up. There is now a man page / document that has been created, that contains a full description of the project, as well as the steps we take to ensure the anonymity of those reporting while maintaining the individuality of the reporting machines. This can be found at: http://www.bsdstats.org/bsdstats-8.html Project Uptime: In the beginning, there were issues with accessibility of the servers, due to only having one reporting server. We have since moved to a distributed cluster using HAProxy to load balance between two physical servers, with a third one coming online soon. http://www.bsdstats.org isn't running on this new cluster yet, but work is underway to get that moved over as well, which we hope to have accomplished over the next couple of days.

Re: BSDstats website displaying data incorrectly
Just to elaborate on the issue ... it looks like both of those pages are using different QUERIES to the database ... in the former, it is using a system view that I was able to update after we fixed the issue with country reporting, such that it doesn't show records older then that date ... the latter page is pulling the data via a different method (which Bobby is looking into) so that its actually pulling in older date (ie. a two months average vs just the past 10 days or so) ...

Re: Addition to BSDstats
I was just thinking about it, and one point that I don't know if I've ever made (or haven't made in awhile) is that BSDStats looks at who is *using* a *BSD variant, not who *was* ... it relies on being run *at least* once a month for a server to be counted ... if you run it once and never run it again, you only count for that *period*, but fall off the radar relatively quickly. Basically, if someone installed FreeBSD 2 years ago, installed the port and then switched to Linux a year later, even though they are still listed in the system, they are not part of the 'current' states, as they are no longer reporting ... That is why the initial install puts it into /usr/local/etc/periodic/monthly, so that it hopefully gets run *at least* at the beginning of each month ... it can be run more often over the month, it will still count as *1* install, but it needs to be run *at least* once a month for a machine to continue to be counted ...

The problem, as I get from Randi, isn't adding the crontab entry (its not required anyway), but that since 300.statistics isn't in /etc/periodic/monthly by default, sysinstall would have to do a pkg_add of the port to get it installed first, *then* add the appropriate entries to both /etc/periodic.conf and /etc/rc.conf so that it runs ...

Re: Addition to BSDstats
The backend to bsdstats.org is load balanced behind an haproxy backend, with only the IP of haproxy being passed back into it ... one of the key issues that was brought up from day one was security and anonymity(sp?) of those submitting, and we've taken that *very* seriously ... other then the tokens that are passed back to present individual systems, we do not record anything (or see anything) about the reporting servers ...

KDE has 2 options for composite: OpenGL and xRender I have composite enabled with openGl. If any vbox guest (winedows actually) has 3d acceleration enabled, the host freezes completely. only the reset button works ! I have to completely disable 3d accel on the Win guests. But if composite is done with Xrender, the 3d accel on the guests doesn't freeze the host, but I loose a lot of performance, smoothness and most of the desktop effects on KDE. I followed the advice on http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=58498 to enable HPET and that seemed to improve things on this issue but I still have to keep 3d disabled Other than that, EVERYTHING else works perfectly. nVidia is much superior than my onboard radeon HD 3300, which I unceremoniously dumped for a GeForce 9800 GT. I haven't tested it out that extensively yet. I tried installing games/quake2lnx, and it installs fine, but I get no graphics at all, just a black window, but since I haven't tried it on amd64 before, it might be that it doesn't work well on 64 bit. But since I'm not really a gamer, I don't worry much about it, though it would be fun to get it running. I'm running Windowmaker as my window manager, and it doesn't make use of any OpenGL AFAIK. So basically all I've tested is that xv works for playing video with mplayer and running OpenGL xscreensaver hacks. Both seem to work flawlessly. Compiling the driver was a bit of a hassle, since it depends on Linux compatibilty by default, and I haven't got that enabled. And since I've enabled MODULES_OVERRIDE in my kernel config to include only those modules I actually use, nvidia.ko couldn't find linux.ko.

The problem being that it asks me to confirm deletion of each lib/file with a y and a return. I've found that I never say n to any deletion and it becomes very tedious to hammer at the keyboard for hundreds of libs/files. Is there a way to change the Makefile so that they all get deleted with just one y and a return? Or possibly use yes(1) to script it? TIA.

To carry things forward consistently, the partition table is within a slice and describes FreeBSD partitions a..h (and more now I guess). Only in MS or Lunix land should primary divisions be called partitions and then they are _primary_ partitions. To be most precise, they are called DOS primary partitions. As far as I know, the need for them has been massively by MICROS~1 operating systems (DOS, Windows). That what FreeBSD calls partitions are subdivions of slices. A partition holds a file system (each), while a slice holds partitions. Those partitions could be compared to what MICROS~1 calls logical volumes inside a DOS extended partition, allthoug that's just a *comparison* and not an exact equivalent. But, even some of the fdisk and other documentation still mucks this up and occasionally refers to slices as partitions. Maybe we can come up with some new terminology like 'blobs' and 'dollops' to get away from the problem. Borrow some artificially created fantasy words from modern KDE or Gnome application development? :-) An idea that follows your inspiration could be: (old) slice = (new) primary partition eq. DOS primary partition (old) partition = (new) secondary partition, alt. (new) subpartition comp. logical volumes inside a DOS extended partition But it would help to get at least FreeBSD's documentation consistent, even if it uses the non-MICROS~1 names for things (which is very fine for me). Note that the limitation to 4 slices per disk - we remember that we are talking about DOS primary partitions here - is grounded in the fact that MICROS~1 stuff doesn't seem to be able to handle more than 4, a legacy restriction from the past. I've not yet tested if it's possible to create e. g. ad0s1, ad0s2, ad0s3, ad0s4 and ad0s5 with FreeBSD, but it should be possible. (Because multi-booting PCs respectively their operating systems eat up primary partitions like coockies, often people complain that they can't install FreeBSD because it requires a primary partition as well. Mostly, people don't have 4 OSes on their disks, but the one or two they often have (e. g. a Linux and a Windows) have already occupied adX0..adX3.) Hi all, Out of curiousity, I just tested to bsdlabel a disk I had lying around. In dangerously dedicated mode. No problem at all. I newfs'd it and mounted it. Also no problem. I haven't tried to boot from it though, but I may do that later, when I have nothing running that can't be halted. I did config -x /boot/kernel/kernel and I noticed that GEOM_PART_BSD was there, though I'm absolutely certain I haven't included it, and if I understand correctly, it shouldn't be there unless explicitly included? I'm running 8.0-RELEASE-p1 amd64 with a custom kernel config. However the kernel config file was more or less copied from 7.2, with just a little tweaking. I guess I should create a new one, using sys/conf/NOTES and sys/amd64/conf/NOTES as guidelines and sys/amd64/conf/GENERIC as template, but I haven't gotten around to that yet. Anyway, is GEOM_PART_BSD supposed to be there (I just checked, and noticed it's in sys/amd64/conf/DEFAULTS) or can I safely remove it? And will it, considering I migrated to gpt and zfs, be meaningful to remove it (e.g. will it make the kernel smaller or have any positive impact on zfs performance)? And should DD disks work except to boot from, or shouldn't they work at all?

Is it just a case of the regular buildworld process or are there gotchas because we are crossing major version numbers. You got it right. Just the regular upgrade procedure as documented in /usr/src/UPDATING. The gotcha is that you need to rebuild all ports. If you don't do that you can run in to trouble when you later build a port. I found that usually it is fastest to just take note of which ports you need, delete all existing ports, then after the upgrade reinstall the required ports. Thanks, that's a relief! I looked at the url the other chap posted and it seems to be the same thing although he uses a slightly different syntax and I think he is talking about upgrading in a datacentre, remotely. cheers Just another note or two. If you decide to recompile the ports using portupgrade, portmaster or a similar tool, rather than, as Pieter suggested, deleting them and re-installing, make sure your ports are up to date before upgrading the system. That way you are less likely to run into problems when recompiling them after upgrading. After running mergemaster, do a make delete-old to remove any 7.2 binaries remaining (libraries still in use won't be deleted). I usually do this while still in single user, but I believe it can be done in multi user as well. After upgrading the ports, cd to /usr/src and do a make delete-old-libs. If you upgrade them using portupgrade, portmaster or a similar tool, do the delete-old-libs AFTER all ports are successfully upgraded. The reason for this is that the ports you have installed are still linked to the 7.2 libraries. If you decide to delete all ports, delete them before upgrading the system, then do the delete-old and delete-old-libs before installing any new ports. I usually delete all ports and re-install the essential ones after upgrading, but I've tried the portupgrade approach too, and both have worked well for me. The latter approach is more time consuming, but ensures you have all your ports after the upgrade, while the former approach takes less time and may help get rid of ports you no longer need. Good luck. :) Rolf Nielsen ___ 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 would _strongly_ advise you to make a list of all your current ports, e.g. with 'portmaster -L ports.list', deleting all ports and re-installing the ports labeled as 'leaf ports' and 'root ports' in ports.list. While portmaster/-manager do their best, they just cannot cover all the corner cases, especially since some ports require extra action (e.g. perl!) There is a good chance you'll end up with a big mess like binaries linked to both 7.x and 8.x libraries or ports failing to build for mysterious reasons. Both have happened to me in the past and are a major PITA to fix. I've done the complete delete/reinstall run a couple of times now on my desktop with ???490 ports installed.

PAM and xdm woes
Hi, Every time I start xdm I get the following message on ttyv0, xdm: pam_sm_close_session(): no utmp record for :0 Everything seems to work just fine. I can log in, and everything runs as expected, so it's basically just an annoyance, especially since I don't know whether I should be concerned about security. The only things I've changed from the default xdm config are the size and position of the xconsole window xdm launches and the background (instead of the standard vanilla one, I run an xscreensaver hack), and those are changes I've had for about 10 years without any problems. This error message started showing up quite recently. I believe it happened when upgrading to 8.0, but I'm not sure exactly at what point. I've been running 8.0 since BETA1 and I'm now on RC1, and the message, I believe, started appearing some time at or after upgrading from 7.2-RELEASE-p? to 8.0-BETA1. I've run amd64 for about 2 years, but last week I moved back to i386, because I got tired of waiting for a decent 64 bit nVidia driver. The message has been there in the amd64 version and is still there after moving back to i386, so no change there. I've not changed anything in the PAM configuration; I simply don't know how. So, my questions are: 1. Should I be concerned about it? 2. How do I fix it? If you need any more info, please let me know. I'll be happy to post any config files, e.g. xorg.conf or my KERNCONF file (perhaps I've missed something important in the kernel?) Any help appreciated.

I have a machine I would like to regularly shutdown and wake up at different times depending the on the day of week. The easy and cheap way to accomplish something like that is to put a timer between the machine's power supply and the power outlet, and use a script started at boot to switch the machine off in a controlled fashion after a specified time before the timer runs out. The only inflexibility in this scheme is that timers usually require a time to switch on and a time to switch off. So if you need the time that the machine is awake variable, it won't be as easy. Roland There are such timers, that run over a week rather than just 24 hours, and they can have different times each day. -- Rolf Nielsen ___ 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
