Frequent NMI warnings

[Peter Risdon]

Hi,

$ uname -a

I'm getting a lot of these errors in the logs:

Can anyone suggest how I could diagnose these errors? I saw some
suggestions that memory faults might be a cause of similar problems but
Memtest came up clear.

Please cc me because I'm not a subscriber.

Thanks in advance,

Anyone offer me some advice on how to fix? The previous version of Chromium 
built fine on this machine.

Cheers,

Re: AMD Phenom II X4 temperature issues (was Re: hardware monitor)

[Peter Giessel]

You can also try shutting down (obviously), then removing the heat sink, put 
some thermal paste on the processor and reinstall the heat sink.  Sometimes 
there isn't much (any) thermal paste there and the processor can't get the heat 
into the heat sink.

This is only outgoing :(

So so far 2 solutions:

1. Real one BGP, problem needs own ip range
2. DnsMadeEasy - cheap and easy ($34.50 per year), but not as good as BGP

Hi,

Lines are from 2 different ISPs and evn come physically via different
route  - protection again construction workers :-) Basically to be fair
I need one single IP to have such fail over  - the Citrix server.

However really not sure what is the best way - the only feasible
solution I found so far is DNS faiolver
http://www.dnsmadeeasy.com/services/dns-failover-system-monitoring/.
However I am not 100% sure how well it will work and if this may cause
more troubles and embarrassment in front of the customer than simply
giving them  in a email

gate1.example.com(primary)
gate2.example.com(backup)

to connect.

Cheers,

Peter

Hi,

I have 2 fiber lines and using pfsense(freebsd) I can easily use them
for backup of LAN --> Internet traffic i.e when primary is down, second
line kick in automatically.  However when one line is down all
connections Internet --> LAN to certain service(e.g www) via that
connection are down as expected.

My question is: is there some smart(e.g DNS) solution that can help me
overcome this ?

stack overflow

[Peter Laurie]

Hi

I'm working on a program using FreeBSD v 1.7.

This project has been going for years and has a lot of functions calls 
some using far more arguments than these. I've never seen this error before.


I have one funct8ion that has suddenly refused to run because on the 
call I get a 'stack overflow' message.


I'm passing a pointer to a structure and then 5 ints. Everything is 
fine, but I need to pass a bit more data. If I pass a sixth int I get 
the overflow message.


I've increased the stack from the default 4096 to 20 * 1024 * 1024 
without effect.


Yours Peter Laurie

Which is the "parser plugin for encoding trig"?

Hi,

some ports on my 9.1-STABLE fail with this message:

Could not find parser plugin for encoding trig

I found some mails mentioning this problem in the archives and tried to
reinstall sysutils/raptor2 - as recommended - but the error remains the
same.

Any ideas?

Re: which reader/tablet/

Personally, I don't see how another O.S. would work on the tablet devices.  
They don't have any of the hardware other O.S.'s assume (such as a keyboard), 
and they have such proprietary hardware.  The hardware is so "touch centric", 
than running a non-touch O.S. does not seem wise, but I could be wrong.

All of the tablet type devices I'm aware of can access the internet through 
WiFi, which allows them to download the various books.  Many of them now also 
have a 4g type cellular antenna which can be used (with a subscription for 
network access through your favorite telecom) to download your favorite book.

I admit I'm most familiar with putting books on Apple tablet devices.  PDFs or 
ePubs can be e-mailed to the device, which opens well in their reading app.  
The devices allow any text (including I suppose, plain text) on the screen to 
be "spoken" by the device.

Hello,

We are connecting to an IXP, they have tested our FreeBSD 9.1 server and

there is any arp table size limitations and if so, how we can increase the
limit?

Wow the irony - the port gets updated on the same day I message the list. 
Thanks for being more on top of this than I am!

Status of Chromium port...

[Peter Harrison]

Hello list!

Does anyone know the status of the Chromium port? It's stuck at v25 with 
multiple vulnerabilities. Updated versions have been available for a while, but 
haven't been brought into ports. I've emailed the maintainer but not had a 
response. Anyone know better?

Thanks all,




Peter Harrison.

Re: small fanless mini-pc for home router/firewall?

[Zyumbilev, Peter]

Hi,

I currently run this one:

http://www.applianceshop.eu/index.php/firewalls/opnsense/opnsense-desktop-and-wallmountable/opnsense-pfsense-appliance.html

with pfsense 2 (it is freebsd too)

Works great :)

The only problems I see so far is when I push it at 90+ Mb/s it start to
have issues with load but if do not plan such high speeds it work like
charm..Kind of expensive though...

I had some serious performance problems running M0n0wall on a 4801. These were 
solved by replacing it with a 5501. But otherwise perfect hardware.

9.1-release bridge config at startup not working

[Peter Hunčár]

Hello list

After pretty much of googling I was able to make this bridge setup up and
running:

cloned_interfaces="bridge0"
ifconfig_bridge0="addm igb6 addm igb7"
ifconfig_bridge0_alias0="inet x.x.x.x netmask x.x.x.x"
ifconfig_igb6="up"
ifconfig_igb7="up"

however I'm running xorp pim multicast router on the box as well and it
complains about not being able to get the primary IP address of bridge0.
And I need xorp running on that subnet.
(after manually assigning an IP to bridge0, bridge0 becomes unresponsive)

I tried autobridge according to some sparse "documentation" found, but
autobridge with setup:

cloned_interfaces="bridge0"
autobridge_interfaces="bridge0"
autobridge_bridge0="igb6 igb7"
ifconfig_bridge0="inet x.x.x.x netmask x.x.x.x"
ifconfig_igb6="up"
ifconfig_igb7="up"

does not start at all. I end up with having only igb6 added in bridge0
without an IP address.

Well, I would gladly live without a bridge ;) if somebody could give me a
hit how to protect a group of servers on the same subnet as the router is.
Without a need of NAT or IP changes.
I need a DMZ, so I thought I'd simply put the boxes behind a filtered
bridge.
Seems like it's not that easy as it sound.

Thank you very much for any kind of help/advice

Indeed. I've been faffing around with various sysctl settings from the command 
line without rebooting. As I mentioned in a slightly earlier email though, it's 
working now - although I can't figure out why, it is.

Thanks for your help.

Thanks Bernt.

Here's the relevant bit of rc.conf

snddetect_enable="YES"
mixer_enable="YES"

and I have 

snd_hda_load="YES"

in my loader.conf, so shouldn't need the sound_enable you suggested I think?

I also have this in my device.hints:

hint.hdac.0.cad0nid7.config="as=1"

but I think that's a typo and there should be an extra period in there somewhere

That said, I'm not going to change anything because all of a sudden and for no 
reason that I can figure out, it is now working. I have sound. 

Go figure.

Thanks for your help.

Sorry for the late reply, been away from the keyboard for a while.

I'm not loading snd_hda separately, but it's definitely there:

root@thinkpad:/home/peter # kldload snd_hda
kldload: can't load snd_hda: File exists

I've seen that blog and a couple of other sites describing configure FreeBSD on 
the X60, and they all seem to infer that sound works without a problem.

So for the moment at least I'm stumped.

Thanks for trying to help.

Cheers,



Peter Harrison.

No sound on Thinkpad X60

[peter harrison]

Hi list,

I've a problem with sound on a Thinkpad X60, which has an Intel HDA chip.

This is what I see in dmesg:

hdac0:  mem 0xee24-0xee243fff irq 17 at
device
27.0 on pci0
hdacc0:  at cad 0 on hdac0
hdaa0:  at nid 1 on hdacc0
pcm0:  at nid 5 and 25,8 on hdaa0
hdacc1:  at cad 1 on hdac0
unknown:  at nid 2 on
hdacc1 (
no driver attached)

and from sndstat:

FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm: 32bit 2009061500/i386)
Installed devices:
pcm0:  (play/rec) default

and from mixer:

Mixer vol  is currently set to 100:100
Mixer pcm  is currently set to 100:100
Mixer speaker  is currently set to 100:100
Mixer cd   is currently set to   1:1
Mixer rec  is currently set to   1:1
Mixer igainis currently set to  42:42
Mixer ogainis currently set to 100:100
Mixer monitor  is currently set to  67:67
Recording source: cd

But I have no sound. This is using Gnome 2.32 on 9.1-R. I did initially
accidentally install Pulseaudio, but have subsequently deleted it and
reinstalled everything that depended on it without the Pulseaudio
dependency.

Any thoughts on what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks in advance.

h264 streaming and lighttpd

[Zyumbilev, Peter]

Hi,


Port /usr/ports/www/lighttpd-mod_h264_streaming seems broken.

It installs just fine, lighttpd runs but at the moment I enable
h264_streaming module it dies like this:

kernel: pid 50660 (lighttpd), uid 80: exited on signal 11

Nothing in error log.

Without the module lighttpd runs like charm.

Configuration is default, not changes except port number, FreeBSD version:

8.3-RELEASE-p3 FreeBSD 8.3-RELEASE-p3

Any hints ?

Thanks,


Peter

Switching to postfix and editing mynetworks in main.cf might be simplest

Re: How to achieve E-Mail Notification on root login?

[Zyumbilev, Peter]

Hi,

Allow "sudo bash" only.

Modify .bashrc to mail last entry from the log

http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/sample-bashrc.html

So you will get alert instantly :-)

Dyn.com can have a FreeBSD box update the DNS information for a dynamic IP 
address.

I have been a user for a long time and am quite happy with their DNS service.

It use to take me a day (~20h) to rebuild each of: www/firefox,
www.seamonkey, mail/thunderbird.

In general I'm satisfied with speed of their work though.

Starting from v17 upgrades I experience the problem I can't see the solution
so I even don't ask about it. The details is that for all the 3 ports almost
everything builds and then while linking the main (or almost the main) binary
the compiler gets to lose the 'JSAutoCompartment.o'.

I know I can buy some cloud to rebuild but is it of any rational if every
hardware-like-mine owner shall follow this way when we can have it
centralized?

Thank you.

binary updates for firefox and chromium?

[Peter Vereshagin]

Hello.

I find it impossible to rebuild the hard but very commonly used packages on
every 'portaudit' notice.

Impossible in my case means the result is unpredictable and the process is too
long.

This involves mozilloids and a chromium at the least, needn't to mention the
OOo is a must, too.

Looking at

  http://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-current/www/

I can't find them. FF is v16 there (v18+ is in the ports' head) and no any
chromium.

Does it mean that if I need the binary-updated firefox and chromium then I
need to use pc-bsd?

This makes me want even more to install a pc-bsd or the like into the jail
and rolling binary updates there without its GUI.  Is there any 'been there,
done that' for the case?

Thank you.

Last 10 years I am using cvsup. Any good guide for the transition to
subversion  ?

For ports is easy(portsnap), but I for system update I still have
problems saying good bye to old habits and I still use cvsup...:-)

Hi,

I know chances are slim someone to help. I believe my question is asked
right. Even if noone can help it was worth asking - at least you learned
that debian can run inside Freebsd :-) You know the idea is everyone to
learn from this.

'svn-export' incrementing?

[Peter Vereshagin]

Hello.

I use the 'svn-export this way and expect it will try to update the
'work-tree' next time I run it:

  $ python3 svn-export-2013.1/svn-export http://svn.gna.org/svn/nasmail/trunk 
nasmail
  Exporting new repository.
  Exported revision 1546
  [portato@screwed /tmp]$ ls -a nasmail
  .   decode  plugin_pack tests   utilities
  ..  nasmail plugins translations
  [portato@screwed /tmp]$ python3 svn-export-2013.1/svn-export 
http://svn.gna.org/svn/nasmail/trunk nasmail
  Exporting new repository.
  svn: E155000: Destination directory exists; please remove the directory or 
use --force to overwrite
  svn: E155000: 'nasmail' already exists
  error: Command '['svn', 'export', '-r', 'HEAD', 
'http://svn.gna.org/svn/nasmail/trunk', 'nasmail']' returned non-zero exit 
status 1

I believe there is something wrong in the way I use the 'svn-export'.
Otherwise it's a no problem for me to patch for '--force'.

How can I update the already created 'work tree' with 'svn update'? I think
the correct answer is a good idea for 'Synopsis' docs section.

Thank you.

I suppose the latter is what the perl5 in general and cpan (cpan-testers at
the least) was always considered to be about.

I'd disclose that following TIMTOWTDI the so called 'modern perl' and a
'perl6' can be used to reconsider on this.

For the case of following the former line the switch to python may (or may not)
happen to be the (good) difference about such a freebsd-related task. Will
see.

Thank you.

No objection. As a bonus it will run on fork()less ms-windows.

I have no idea if it is. I use python only as a build dependency yet and for
my pretty old freebsd the versions are:

  python26-2.6.7_3
  python27-2.7.3

I don't know which one is best. Some proposals I will draft later believing
those are language-independent.

I know svn has some perl bindings I think just for the scripts like
'svn-export' I wish it used. Does svn have ones for python also?

There's a thing about 'svn-export': It requires 'threaded' build of the perl
known to be inappropriate for the production environment (if I'm not mistaken:
this may be obsoltete). At the least this is in the lang/perl5.16/Makefile:

  .if defined(WITH_THREADS)
  #XXX .if ${ARCH} == "amd64"
  #XXX IGNORE=Threaded perl does not pass tests on ${ARCH}
  #XXX .endif
  CONFIGURE_ARGS+=-Dusethreads=y
  PKGNAMESUFFIX=  -threaded
  WITH_PTHREAD=   yes
  # it seems perl malloc has problems with threaded perl on FreeBSD
  .undef WITH_PERL_MALLOC
  .else
  CONFIGURE_ARGS+=-Dusethreads=n
  .endif

I believe 'amd64' is the common architecture these days and 'perl malloc' is the
feature needed for profiling and/or leaks detection.

Good news is that such a stuff can be redone with forks instead of threads but
it should take me the time amount I'm not supposed to have of the any early.

By itself perl threading has a fabulously bad luck history, recently
criticized for instance at: 

  https://speakerdeck.com/stevan_little/perl-is-not-dead-it-is-a-dead-end

Sure, and I meant Gmane is neither.

My question was: is it a good thing for freebsd project to rely on a
third-party services now for such a sensitive thing like lists indexing/search?

I remember it didn't in the past having an own full-text index. Is it a change?

Expected is: to have a 'search' link from mailing list's page. Why shall I
choose on my own that blindly? Third party index can be unknown to overlook
some stuff.

Aha! found it:

  http://www.freebsd.org/search/search.html#mailinglists

Problem was that this page: http://www.freebsd.org/community/mailinglists.html
was kind of 'Not found' the last time I visited it. (Navigation bar and an
[h1] was 'Oh no:(')

Although I wish such a corresponding link to be found on the list's 'mailman's
page.

Thank you.

This is for the case of the svn's 'fsfs' backend.

There is the different backend, the 'bdb' one that keeps data not in the
'.svn' subdirectories but in the 'bdb' format and it's the repository(-ies)
-wide single database with its single file system location.

JANJ> Deleting the .svn folder removes subversion control of that folder[0].
JANJ> You can learn more, it seems, here[1].

No, I do not want to delete the '.svn' directories but I want them to not to
be created at all, like it was created with 'svnadmin create --fs-type bdb'
but as a resuit of a checkout.

There was someone here arguing about 'fossil' that (s)he updates from the
freebsd  repositories into the 'bdb'- backend'ed  svn repo, I'd like to know
a way to 'svn checkout' like this at first.

Thank you.

svn bdb checkout?

[Peter Vereshagin]

Hello.

By far the 'portsnap' has a lag from svn. I think firefox-18.0,1 update was
late at 4 days at the least, for instance.

Thus I'd like to move to svn for base and ports.

The only problem for me personally with svn is: its multiple '.svn'
directoriees all over the repo.

This is what I get checkouting every possible svn repository on the web.

I've heard about 'bdb' kind of storage on the contrast from 'fsfs' which is
what I complain about, the my '.svn's trouble source.

So I'd like to know how could I checkout the sources without those '.svn'
freakages. Just couldn't ixquick it out.

The only possible way I know by the moment is: svn dump | svn restore kind of
from the checked out repo to the newly created 'bdb' one. But I even have no
idea if it can be updated from the same source again.

And, 'bdb' svn backend is known of its lack of reliability. Should I treat it
seriously in such a case, e. g., the repositories are a kind of large?

Any clues?

Thank you.

If you're about to ascii then I'd say that 'svgatextmode' was great when I used

And, I don't believe the 'frame buffer' stuff is usable in freebsd.

My  host os is Nas4Free and is stripped version of freebsd - e.g I
cannot even compile ports - that is why I use jails - so no new kernel
for me there :)

So far I am quite happy with it  - I use it mainly as DLNA
server(Serviio), ZFS,UPS support & Transmission made it quite good
platform - would take plenty of time to get all this in plain FreeBSD
install.

The only thing that I might be missing is Plex, but due to lack "browser
per folder feature", I will stick to open standard - DLNA.

download port directory/tarvall ?

[Peter Vereshagin]

Hello.

I used to download the selected port's directory from cvsweb.

Now cvsweb seems to be not updated any more.

I am missing this feature from svnweb.freebsd.org.

Is there any way to download the particular port's directory?

Tried with 'svn co' but it downloads all of the ports without directory
selection, or did I overlook a thing?

Thank you.

For future reference:

I've got it work, just 2 things:

1. Use
http://download.openvz.org/template/precreated/debian-6.0-x86.tar.gz
instead the file listed in the howto.

2. Run sysctl compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.32 in Freebsd shell before
starting the jail, otherwise you will get error "kernel too old".

Otherwise, so far so good :-)

Will do the job :-) Thanks !

How stable it is ? Anyone have some experience ? I want to try to run
things like plex media player(http://www.plexapp.com/) and
sopcast(http://www.sopcast.com/).

It is not mission critical:  for my home media server but I still hope
it will work good enough.

It is not clear if you want to install FreeBSD on your modem? That depends on
its model.

It's kind of unlikely that FreeBSD 'base system' does have a tool(s) to
measure the DSL quality characteristics.  Depending on your modem's model you
can have a telnet(1) interface to it from your FreeBSD server to look up for
line quality information via modem's specific commands by hand.

But telnet(1) doesn't seem to be the notifying tool you think you need. It
should be nothing complicated to make such a tool or install the ready-to-use
software from the FreeBSD Ports system.

Same can go here about the web interface your modem can be controlled by
saying not about the telnet(1) but about web browser, correspondently.

ppp(8) makes the use of chat(8) to send the Hayes-fashioned AT commands to the

The Opera browser on FreeBSD

[peter weismann]

I find two native FreeBSD ports for OPERA.
With that I want to say, I am not using Linux-Opera anymore.
But since some time, I had installed 
www/opera-devel
and
www/opera
at the same time and played with them. Now I see, that opera has a
greater release-level then opera-devel.
That makes no sense.
Bye.

Then it's much easier if it happens again.

If it's the zone then BIND may seem to overwrite the file? I can do this in
the case it's a primary zone service. I'm informed it's all about the primary
not a secondary zone service but hence BIND isn't a piece of cake who knows.

Since that you can do this:

  - chmod file(s) for BIND to read-only it.

  - monitor certain directories for changes. I have no idea about the tool to
handle this task but it's quite possible with inotify() system call and/or
the sgi fam protocol, particularly its sysutils/gamin implementation.

Totally 'portages'-based 'gentoo' with its 'USE flags' feature is a kind of a

I hate methodologies and teaching. But here are my cents:

  - Such a metaport creation task can motivate him on learning about the

great for him and easy for us than learning here about his typically

  - Horse before the cart is a problem when it's a vice-versa only.

You can configure separately each port the metaport consists of and then build
that metaport. Those "defaults chosen from begin" do not depend on if the
'nested' port is being built as a part of a metaport build process or
separately thus no restrictions observed.

What if being a proper sysadm means ability to deploy a package on thousands
(tens of thaousands, etc.) of machines? In formal terms this means create a
package and install on the every machine. This cannot be a several packages
because this makes the whole task less quick and the solution less reliable.
And the creation of such a package can be a more trivial task for sysadm than
the such of a package installation or upgrade by itself.

Such a metaport can be a person-scale/company-wide solution, not a public one
so no harm for the general freebsd usage approaches/pphilosophy which is a

Probably to copy from an existing portto create a new one isn't a best idea but
prehaps it is a good start to get the things done.

About the what I know to be exactly a 'metaport' is lang/php5-extensions.

Why not just keep a list of ports or packages? I believe the modern management
tools (portmaster/portupgrade) can install them smoothly in one command.

If the what you want is a binary package then what if the 'pkgng' stuff has or
will have such a feature: to bundle a metaport in a package?

And, the pc-bsd (http://www.pcbsd.org) seem to have such an AMP package out of
the box (or downloaded via its package manager)

Did you specify elsewhere what a 'visible' does mean to you?

  - if this means network connectivity then you can put jails on the same
network, e. g. the same address on a lo(4) interface

  - if this means a read-only access to the directory located outside of a
jail then her4e is the trick:

  mount_nullfs -o ro /path/to/inject /your/jail/mount/detination

The same trick can be done for every directory the freebsd base system
consists of. Excluding those different for each jail, e. g. /var, /etc. Nullfs
daesn't consume your disk space except for additional fstab lines, something
about a dozen per jail. (=

I don't think so. It's a task of the configuration of a second system without
hardware initialization and so on, and then spreading your configs around

What do you mean 'visible' here? Do you just chmod a-rwx on them? Say, to
avoid listing the /usr/bin/su you should chmod a-rx /usr/bin which is far from
the best idea...

Sounds interesting but doesn't seem googleable to me. Any URLs for xorg

How could the one know out that from overall system statistics only?

ok but that can be the loss of a privacy of some other user?

Sure. You can convert PDFs to the set of images, reassemble them into your own
PDFs without the logs and post then.

So without the need for the outside network connectivity there shouldn't be
much  care. (=

What kind of danger is this? This system info expose seems nothing to do with
making the system work unexpectedly.

You didn't mention you must have an outside network connection. Should your
untrusted software have it? Just unplug it otherwise.

You can make the special chroot/jail environment for the users keeping them
away from the access to the binaries exposing sysctls. And permit them the
write access only to the volumes mounted as '-o noexec'.

There should be the way(s) to bypass this, at the least one of the DSLs  e. g.
ruby, python, perl, php used in that environment may provide API for sysctls
or the modules can be built to use sysctl api from C. Thus you should keep
your C compiler and any of the soucres e. g. /usr/src to present on that
environment.

Even with that who knows if your software doesn't use sysctl(3) functions. But
the 'basic user programs' shouldn't.

> Also, if possible, I would like to have a group of users to whom

I don't think it's possible at the moment. Do you think this can be
implemented without performance loss? Sysctl is a kind of the kernel stuff...

How about emaulators/qemu, virtualbox, etc?

Joe try these instead:

Install FreeBSD on another machine. Then

To build FreeBSD 9 do this:

   cd /usr
   svn co svn://svn.freebsd.org/base/head src
   cd src
   make buildworld
   cd release
   make release
   make install DESTDIR=/var/freebsd-snapshot

After running these commands, all produced distribution files (tarballs
for FTP, CD-ROM images, etc.) are available in the /var/freebsd-snapshot

Also you can try to follow this guide:

http://wiki.idefix.fechner.net/index.php/FreeBSD-Build_Own_CD

Hi Shane,

Actually, compiling without Cycles did the trick, as instructed by the 
maintainer.

emulators/qemu at the least should be able to run that software and use
com-ports from the master freebsd system at the same time. Then you can you can
use remote access features for workstation access to the software.

Who knows if modern smb protocol implementations could do this, too.

Depending on a task I think the most interactive user-friendly solution here is
a minicom(s) each in its own ssh'ed jail(s).

Colleagues,

There is a FreeBSD box with several RS232 ports. Can those ports be
accessed by Windows hosts over the network? Actually, does anyone
have a success story for such a scenario?

There is some software like comms/serialoverip, comms/tits etc but are
there any (freeware) Windows virtual COM port drivers compatible
therewith?

Maybe some Windows drivers for hardware console servers (like Moxa)
would work with tits etc?

Thanks a lot for any advice.



If I understand your question correctly, then AFAICT the only way to 
access serial ports over the network is with a piece of additional 
hardware, like a terminal server, for instance:
