linux-f10-hal-libs

[R Skinner]

I've discovered a fix for certain videos using flashplayer on websites. 
Apparently they require hal to access the DRM (?!), so I've just whipped 
up a port to fix this.


It has been done in a real hurry; unfortunately I don't have any further 
time to spend on this as I'm way over my head at the moment, but I hope 
this helps fix some issues for some.


If there are any problems with the way I've set this up, can you let me 
know via this address and advice on the error would be very appreciated.


HTH :)

I'm honestly not sure. The doc seem to indicate that it won't work 
without a fam daemon on the NFS server, so maybe that's the root of 
the errors.

Ok. I'll give it a try.

But why would it work with the NFS server - before the repair and 
without FAM - and not now?

courier imap - unable to access shared folders: "operation not supported"

[R Skinner]

I'm really tearing my hair out here, this was working until I had to do 
a repair on the server hdd and rebuild it, and now I cannot work out why 
this has been working at all- no amount of googling even hints at what 
could be wrong.


I'm trying to access shared folders on a courier-imap server and the 
client simply does nothing, the logs are very obscure as well, and it is 
on these that I have been focusing my searches on and then trying 
generalisations:


Jul  9 12:59:29 server1 imapd: FAMCancelMonitor: Broken pipe
Jul  9 12:59:30 server1 imapd: 
shared-folders//tmp/1373338770.M51083P2034_sync.: 
Operation not supported

Jul  9 12:59:30 server1 imapd: FAMCancelMonitor: Broken pipe
Jul  9 12:59:30 server1 imapd: 
shared-folders//tmp/1373338770.M453207P2034_sync.: Operation 
not supported

Jul  9 12:59:30 server1 imapd: FAMCancelMonitor: Broken pipe
Jul  9 12:59:50 server1 imapd: LOGIN, user=, ip=, 
port=[59585], protocol=IMAP
Jul  9 13:00:12 server1 imapd: LOGIN, user=, ip=, 
port=[30542], protocol=IMAP

Jul  9 13:03:44 server1 imapd: end from FAM server connection
Jul  9 13:03:59 server1 imapd: FAMPending: timeout
Jul  9 13:05:18 server1 imapd: couriertls: read: Connection reset by peer
Jul  9 13:05:18 server1 imapd: DISCONNECTED, user=, ip=, 
headers=0, body=0, rcvd=314, sent=25847, time=306, starttls=1


I cannot find any references anywhere on this at all. The server has a 
mail store over NFS located on a ZFS fileserver, nothing has changed as 
such in the transition and it was working before the hdd repair was 
done. The only change I tried in the past 5 mins was turning the 
enhancedidle switch in the conf, and all that produced was the FAM 
errors you can see.


Does anyone have any clues to this?

Hello,
Compliments and good day to you and your family.
I write you this mail as a reminder once more having waited patiently
for your response to my initial contact with you through snail mail.
However since i assume you did not get it i want to use this medium even though
it might not be the best form of communication in matters like this due to the
ever growing disbelief and illicit scams and fraud associated with it, i
seem to have no choice than to make use of it, coupled with the fact that
it might be just perfect due to the ability to redeem time.
Without wasting much of your time i want to bring you into a business
venture which i think should be of interest and concern to you, since it has
to do with a perceived family member of yours However i need to
be sure that you must have received this communication so i will not divulge
much information about it until i get a response from you.
Kindly respond back to me.
Regards,
Pamela

Re: Apache 2.2 and php 5.4.5 failing on freebsd 8.3

[John R. Levine]

Are you running pecl-APC? If so, what version? There's a major issue with the 
latest.


Hmmn, that might have been it.

I backed down to 5.3, but when I have a chance I'll try 5.4 again without 
APC.


R's,
John

Re: Apache 2.2 and php 5.4.5 failing on freebsd 8.3

[John R. Levine]

Good thought, I just did that.  Results:

php5.3: works fine as far as I can tell

php5.4: fails in random ways

This suggests there is a bug in 5.4 which only is apparent on FreeBSD 8.x.
I note that the packages for 8.x have gone away on the distribution server,
so I expect they're not regression testing 8.x any more


Packages??

It's better for you to use the ports tree!


Ahem.  If you will review the messages to which you were responding, you 
will note that yes, I did build everything from the ports tree.  My point 
is that since they're not building 8.3 packages any more, they're not 
validating updated ports against 8.3 any more.


R's,
John

Then perhaps you should downgrade to lang/php53 and lang/php53-extensions
and compare the results!

I've done all the usual voodoo repair: I have rebuilt apache, php, and
all the php modules from source, and rebooted, and it didn't help.



Did you also rebuilt lang/php5-extensions for the modules you need?


Uh, yes, I said that I did.

ps, clang and make variables

[R Skinner]

Stupid question, but I need to clarify and make sure I'm right here: 
what should I see as the running process if clang is compiling? ATM I 
see cc1plus.


I'm trying to set CC and friends make variables to clang for a build, 
but it doesn't appear to be 'sticking'. It seems to change the shell env 
to bash, but that shouldn't be the problem. So I'm trying to work out 
whats up.


FWIW I'm trying to build libreoffice with clang as it doesn't build, or 
more accurately doesn't build and test correctly. It doesn't appear to 
honor the CC variables (CC, CXX, CPP, etc). Worth a shot anyway :)

Re: OpenBSD disk on FreeBSD.

[R. Clayton]

Can you obtain partitioning information via bsdlabel (disklabel) for the s4
slice to check if FreeBSD can identify the other partitions properly.

  Sorta:

$ sudo bsdlabel da0s4
# /dev/da0s4:
16 partitions:
#size   offsetfstype   [fsize bsize bps/cpg]
  a: 146801907   634.2BSD0 0 1 
  c: 3216729600unused0 0 # "raw" part, 
don't edit
  d: 174870990 1468019704.2BSD0 0 1 
partition c: partition extends past end of unit
bsdlabel: partition c doesn't cover the whole unit!
bsdlabel: An incorrect partition c may cause problems for standard system

Re: OpenBSD disk on FreeBSD.

[R. Clayton]

  Thanks for your reply to my message.

you can address the partitions on that slice (da0s4) like you would access them
on FreeBSD.

  "mount /dev/da0s4a" didn't work.  However, looking in dmesg I saw

WARNING: R/W mount of /mnt/backups denied.  Filesystem is not clean - run 
fsck

  After running "fsck -t ufs /dev/da0s4", "mount /dev/da0s4a" still didn't
  work, but

# mount /dev/da0s4 mnt 

  did work:

# cat mnt/angkor-wat/etc/fstab
# fs-spec mount-point type options frequency pass-no
/dev/wd0a / ffs rw 1 1
/dev/wd0h /home ffs rw,nodev,nosuid 1 2
/dev/wd0d /tmp ffs rw,nodev,nosuid 1 2
/dev/wd0g /usr ffs rw,nodev 1 2
/dev/wd0e /var ffs rw,nodev,nosuid 1 2
/dev/sd0a /mnt/backups ffs rw,nodev,nosuid 1 2
/dev/sd0d /mnt/storage ffs rw,nodev,nosuid 1 2
/dev/cd0a /cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0

#

  However, I can only mount the sd0a (OpenBSD) partition; the sd0d partition is
  nowhere to be found:

$ sudo fsck -t ufs /dev/da0s4d
** /dev/da0s4d
Cannot find file system superblock
ioctl (GCINFO): Inappropriate ioctl for device
fsck_ufs: /dev/da0s4d: can't read disk label

$

  On the other hand, 

$ sudo fsck -t ufs /dev/da0s4a
** /dev/da0s4a
Cannot find file system superblock
ioctl (GCINFO): Inappropriate ioctl for device
fsck_ufs: /dev/da0s4a: can't read disk label

$

  so maybe the partition names are wrong.

OpenBSD disk on FreeBSD.

[R. Clayton]

I have a usb external hard drive from a dead OpenBSD x86 system, and I want to
mount the drive on

  $ uname -a
  FreeBSD AngkorWat 8.2-RELEASE FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE #0: Thu Feb 17 02:41:51 UTC 
2011 r...@mason.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  amd64

  $

fdisk on the FreeBSD system looks like

  Disk name:  da0FDISK Partition Editor
  DISK Geometry:  20023 cyls/255 heads/63 sectors = 321669495 sectors (157065MB)

  Offset   Size(ST)End Name  PType   Desc  SubtypeFlags

   321669495   3465  321672959- 12 unused0  

The OpenBSD fstab is gone, and the backup copy is (of course) on the disk I
want to mount.  How do I go about mounting this disk on FreeBSD?  The following
don't work:

  # mount /dev/da0 mnt
  mount: /dev/da0 : Invalid argument

  # mount /dev/da0s4 mnt
  mount: /dev/da0s4 : Operation not permitted

Hi Drew, and welcome to FreeBSD.

How did you 'burn' the disc? As an iso image (in Windows) you can open 
any burning program and tell it to burn it as is; you don't need to 
extract any contents. This is the usual problem if it won't boot.


Alternatively, you can try making an installer on a usb disk. I'd 
recommend at least a 2Gb stick, preferably 4G. See: 
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/bsdinstall-pre.html 
section 3.3.5.

D-VFS: coming soon?

[R Skinner]

I just stumbled on this on my way to another issue. Is there any support 
on this in FreeBSD yet? I know its only new, but just checking...


Its run by the freedesktop developers and is using an MIT license, I 
believe its supposed to run parallel to Xorg and negate opposing APIs by 
providing a common feature for all WMs and apps- as well as support them 
as a temporary measure.

Re: What's wrong with this code?

[John R. Levine]

how about a tiny .so that includes -only- that routine, and a 3-line or so
main() that links against -that- .so?


not a bad idea.


Mentioning O/S release level, and CPU architecture would be a good idea :)


Oh sorry, FreeBSD 8.2 release, AMD64

Re: Installation difficulties

Hello;
I am not new to FreeBSD, but it has been a while since I worked with it.
The last version I obtained from FreeBSD Mall is 7.2. The jewel case
is marked with a date of May 2009, so it is a little behind. But I 
expected it
to boot the i386 version installer, which it did on an Intel 64 bit 
processor.
The 64 bit version is marked 'AMD64'.  I would have gotten a laptop 
with AMD
but this particular seller (Linux Certified) did not have one 
available when
I was ready to buy.  So now I am at it because the warrantee on the 
laptop

has expired.

So, I installed x-developer and attempted to install Apache from the 
included

ports. None of the listed version would install:  error code -1.

I also tried MySQL. The first time it also failed to install. But did 
sysinstall and tried

a different version than originally selected, and it did install.

Since I wanted the GUI, I ran xinit when I got a shell prompt and 
xwindows
failed to load and run, the error is "failed to load module fbdev 
(module does

not exist).

Perhaps this is not an issue that can be addressed practically, here, 
which is
alright with me. But short of getting another DVD and trying to 
install from that

is there a way to deal, at least with the fbdev complaint?

My experience with FreeBSD goes back to 6.0, setting up and running 
servers,
specifically web servers.  This is going to be a development server, 
as it had

been when it had Ubuntu Linux.

Thank you for time and attention;

I'd download at least 8.2 (amd64 if you like, but you can stick to 
i386), and do a basic install (no ports or packages- yet). Once running 
execute freebsd-update fetch install as root, then portsnap fetch 
extract. With that done, then go into ports and install what you want 
from there by entering the directory of the port you want to install 
(say www/apache22) and running make install clean. You'll have options 
to select and away you go.


If you can wait a few weeks (9.0-Release guys: back me up :) ), install 
the disk you have there and install in the same way so you have 
something to play around with and get your feet wet until 9. Or try 
9.0-RC3, you can get release using freebsd-update.


And above all: to do that you are going to become very good friends with 
the FreeBSD Handbook 
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/

9.0 install and journaling

[R Skinner]

I bit the bullet and installed the rc3, after spending half the day 
fighting to get atheros 9285 working on a new laptop. I have to do 
another as well, so...


After recovering myself from the shock of the new bsdinstall (not bad. A 
little confusing after using sysinstall for so long), I installed the 
system with 1 (thats right One! Ah ha ha) partition - yet another shock 
to figure through. What I'm staggered about is I was using fdisk to 
setup journaling on the usr and var partitions.


So I went to the handbook. I'm still a little confused though: can one 
still setup the usr and var (and so forth)? It said you possibly could, 
but it escaped me as to how. And before I do- I looked up journaling on 
9. I couldn't quite get to the bottom of whether it is or isn't 
available/standard, or how to determine its happening. I'm only 
interested because of unexpected shutdowns/battery dead on the laptop- I 
also have 500G which is a while to wait for fsck. Speed I'd like, but I 
have to consider system integrity first.


Little light, please?

Re: Updating emacs fails

[John R. Levine]

Yes, that's just what I did, and I got an emacs that was linked against
the port version of ncurses.  It worked fine.


I deinstalled and rebuilt and reinstalled the ncurses port, and now emacs 
builds fine.  Gaaah.  I think the former version was the package that gets 
installed with 8.2, but reconstructing the former state would be a 
challenge.


So, uh, I guess we chalk it up to bit rot.  "Never mind."

I have a couple of other ports that fail in similar ways, but I think I'll 
wiggle a few more moving parts before reporting the problem.

Yes, that's just what I did, and I got an emacs that was linked against

port, and, indeed, emacs stopped working.


That is bizarre.  I got the linker errors you saw in that log until I 
deleted the files from the ncurses port.

Re: Updating emacs fails

[John R. Levine]

There's enough in the emacs sources to make it pretty clear that a
failure to have emacs find the termcap functions would be a problem
in the emacs port - emacs prefers -lncurses to -ltermcap unless it's
being overridden.


Well, OK.  Now we know that on FreeBSD that doesn't work, since there's an 
optional ncurses library that doesn't define the termcap functions.  Do we 
fix it, or wave our hands and claim it's someone else's fault?

Re: Updating emacs fails

[John R. Levine]

It sounds to me like the right thing to do is to fix emacs' configuration
so it always uses the base system ncurses whether or not the package
version is there.  Right?


maybe/maybe not.  It depends on what emacs needs - whether it only works
with either its own termcap module or a conventional termcap library in
the system.  Probably its installation documentation tells what's needed.


If you look at the build log I posted, it's failing because it's trying to 
link in the system termcap library and failing because ncurses doesn't 
provide it.

The way it's supposed to work is that emacs will depend on (and link to)
ncurses if it's installed when the emacs port is built, and to the base
system curses if not.  I just did a quick test, and this was just what
did happen.  So at least part of the problem is local to your system...


Did you try installing the ncurses port and then rebuilding emacs? For 
some reason the library in the ncurses port doesn't define the termcap 
routines, leading to the problem.


This computer has an extremely vanilla install of 8.2 with gnome.  I'm 
having trouble figuring what I'm doing different from anyone else other 
than perhaps doing portupgrade more often than others do.

Pointers to debugging slow iSCSI initiator performance

Folks

  I have a FreeBSD 8.1-STABLE system that I'm connecting via iSCSI to a
Compellent SAN. The iscsi-initiator works fine but is very slow and given
to periodic (very short) hangs.  The issue is that we have subversion on
it and it takes a long time to checkout some of our repos. Any pointers to
tweaking the config or figuring out the cause of the slowness is
appreciated. I haven't found many posts about the iscsi-initiator on
FreeBSD in my searches.

The config is below:

Re: shutdown computer after the halt command

[John R. Levine]

Hmmn, I looked at the code and by golly you're right, halt/reboot doesn't 
poke init.


Nonetheless, I really do see a lot of "foo stopping" messages when I use 
halt, presumably because the SIGTERM that halt/reboot sends has the same 
effect (if not the same ordering) as the ones that the various rc.d 
scripts send.


Looks like "init 0" would be tidier than halt -p, and in the finest Unix 
tradition, is one less character to type.

Re: shutdown computer after the halt command

[John R. Levine]

It's quite easy to see you're wrong, just follow the steps I outlined
above.  If you are correct, reboot(8) should print things like:

Stopping sshd.

to the console.


Sigh.  I shut down my FreeBSD 8.1 laptop all the time with halt -p, and I
can assure you it prints all those messages.


You can also reference init.c if you still think you're correct.


No thanks, I've already read the man page for init, including this
paragraph:

 When shutting down the machine, init will try to run the /etc/rc.shutdown
 script.  This script can be used to cleanly terminate specific programs
 such as innd (the InterNetNews server).  If this script does not termi-
 nate within 120 seconds, init will terminate it.  The timeout can be con-
 figured via the sysctl(8) variable kern.init_shutdown_timeout.

If you're unfamiliar with rc.shutdown, it also has a man page.

Perhaps your copy of FreeBSD was installed incorrectly, or it's been
so long since you tried halt or reboot that you forgot what happened.

That was it.  I had libxul installed, but version 1.9.0 rather than the 
current 1.9.2.  After a portupgrade, openjdk6 builds OK.


I suppose I should file a bug report that the openjdk6 should note the 
version dependency on libxul.

Jorge:

I appreciated your willingness to post information about the subject at
hand, however I don't think the mailing list is the correct place for
'Redmond Magazine' propaganda.

I would also like to point out as of yet, the existence of a backdoor has
yet to be confirmed.

Below are two link you may enjoying reading to update your knowledge of the
matter at hand:

Unfortunately until the problem reproduces there's no way to dig into it
further.  boot-verbose will show what ZFS finds when it scans ada3p1
both for the pool and for the vdev (by GUID).

ZFS can't claim ada1 since that's GPT-partitioned.

Please send the output of "camcontrol devlist" and "zpool status" on
FreeBSD-8.1.  Then export the pool in FreeBSD-8.1, boot FreeBSD-9 with
verbose booting and send the output of "camcontrol devlist", "zpool
import BACKUP" and the part of /var/log/messages that shows FreeeBSD
searching for the pool during the import.

It might be useful to know what disk controller is being used.

It is not related to your problem, but how did that unused space wind up

@twitter just switched to OAuth recently and I am unaware of what port in
FreeBSD enables OAuth.

Located here is my screen shot of the error message:

The question is what is more efficient.  This might be
important if that kind of grep command is run very often
by a script, or if it's run on very large files.


It's exactly the same, since it's the same program using the same search 
algorithm.  The only thing that's different is the input language for the 
pattern.  What looks like a bunch of separate patterns in the input file 
is internally turned into one pattern that is then compiled into a state 
machine that it uses to match the input.

Re: [kde-freebsd] How to kill process if X is frozen during fancy KDE4 windows effects?

This sounds like new HD vega cards, I think you need to track the logs. or
provide any information that maybe could help to identify the problem. I had
almost the same problem with my ATI HD card, with the latest update of XORG
and -CURRENT it just working fine (with visual effects enabled). In most of
the cases happended to me the vega card totally hang the mouse still move
but it not responding to repaint anything so you can't event switch to
terminal. so if you have some luck hit the power button and wait the machine
to shutdown or just disable the visual effects :)

Im think you are wrong (Not 100% shure), yes the DHCP assign the ip but is
the windows machine (Client) thats sets its name on the DNS (At least on a
Active Directory domain)

So when that fails you put ipconfig /registerdns (Windows Machine).

anyway check   man dhclient.conf the part of examples is maybe what you are
looking for. (send host-name "andare.fugue.com";)

Re: Using different IP config than what DHCP provides

[John R. Levine]

than the default one DHCP offers.  It is a pain to have to kill
dhclient and do the ifconfig and route commands manually.


There are enough hooks in dhclient-script(8) to do this, assuming you
have some way for the system to recognize where it is programatically.


Ah, right.  It looks like can put it in /etc/dhclient-enter-hooks, check 
for the SSID and change $new_host_name,  $new_ip_address, 
$new_subnet_mask,  $new_broadcast_address, and $new_routers.

Re: Questions about port revision numbers, portsnap, csup

[John R. Levine]

fetch http://people.freebsd.org/~glarkin/diffs/pecl-APC-3.1.3p1.diff
patch < pecl-APC-3.1.3p1.diff

Didn't work, because pecl-APC is www/pecl-APC, not devel/pecl-APC.  I
edited the patch to be www/ rather than devel/ at which point the
patch applied but make failed due to one of the other patches:


Hi John,

Sorry about that bit - I'll check my local development environment.


===>  Patching for pecl-APC-3.1.3.p1
===>  Applying FreeBSD patches for pecl-APC-3.1.3.p1
1 out of 2 hunks failed--saving rejects to apc_sem.c.rej
=> Patch patch-apc_sem.c failed to apply cleanly.
*** Error code 1


Please run the other commands in my email to move those now-obsolete
patch files out of the way:

mkdir /usr/ports/devel/pecl-APC/files/save-patches
mv /usr/ports/devel/pecl-APC/files/patch-*  \
/usr/ports/devel/pecl-APC/files/save-patches


Again, I had to change /devel to /www, but having done that, it compiled 
and installed.  Based on 30 seconds of testing, the mediawiki stuff that 
used to crash now seems to work, phpinfo confirms that apc 3.1.3p1 is 
active.


Adjust the paths and ship it, it's vastly better than the status quo.

Re: DJB and root ns server dnssec signing

I think watch i really need to do is find a root ns that is already serving
signed records then limit djb to that, and then i can do some testing. My
gut feeling is that it will be ok, but its no where near 90% let alone 100%
which is why im nervous. PR nightmare if it does go wrong


The roots all return the same thing, but you might try some experiments 
using requests to the tiny .MUSEUM domain which has been signed for a 
while.

Thank you Chuck for the suggetion; here's the ping response from three
different servers:

HP Unix server
# ping ip 1480 -n 3
PING ip: 1480 byte packets
1480 bytes from ip: icmp_seq=0. time=0. ms
1480 bytes from ip: icmp_seq=1. time=0. ms
1480 bytes from ip: icmp_seq=2. time=0. ms

ip PING Statistics
3 packets transmitted, 3 packets received, 0% packet loss
round-trip (ms)  min/avg/max = 0/0/0

Solaris server:
# ping -s ip 1480 3
PING ip: 1480 data bytes
1488 bytes from ip: icmp_seq=0. time=1. ms
1488 bytes from ip: icmp_seq=1. time=0. ms
1488 bytes from ip: icmp_seq=2. time=0. ms

ip PING Statistics
3 packets transmitted, 3 packets received, 0% packet loss
round-trip (ms)  min/avg/max = 0/0/1

FreeBSD server:
# ping -s 1480 ip
ping: packet size too large: 1480 > 56: Operation not permitted

Any ideas?

Joe

OT: Keystrokes stick every ~1500 strokes

[Joe R. Jah]

Hi,

Since last Monday my ssh connections started working erraticly.  Today I
tested it by holding down a key until it stops printing, and made several
itterations; it turns out that ~1500 key strokes print on the screen; then
it stops responding for several seconds; then it spits out ~25 missed
keystrokes.

It's probably not the number of key strokes but the length of time it
takes to hold down a key until characters stop showing on the screen; the
number turns out to be ~1500.  I have the same problem on several
different servers, Solaris, HP Unix, FreeBSD, Linux, so it's definitely
not the server setup; it's the network.

Last Monday our netadmin retired from networking and we got a new netadmin.
I have already reported it to the new netadmin, but he doesn't seem to
know what he's done wrong. Is there anything I can check from my servers
to figure out what the new netadmin has done wrong?

Here's the ifconfig output of my FreeBSD server's active interface:

# ifconfig bce0
bce0: flags=8843 mtu 1500
options=3b
inet  netmask 0xff00 broadcast 
ether 00:3e:0c:bc:c5:13
media: Ethernet autoselect (1000baseTX )
status: active

Please advise.

Regards,

Joe

wrong md5 sum of 8.0-RELEASE-amd64-dvd1.iso.gz ??

[Shripad R.]

hi,
i just wanted to upgrade my current 7.2 to 8.0 and wanted to do it from
scratch so downloaded 8.0-RELEASE-amd64-dvd1.iso.gz.
But the md5 mentioned here
http://www.freebsd.org/releases/8.0R/announce.html is :

MD5 (8.0-RELEASE-amd64-dvd1.iso) = 44c016ae8812a266f710d1845722366d

And the md5 i am getting after downloading the ISO is :

MD5 (8.0-RELEASE-amd64-dvd1.iso.gz) = add311be2d189cde1d47ba515c05f440

totally different. Can somebody plz confirm ?

I confirmed the download was complete and uninterrupted, but still just
concerned about this.

For the record, better results can be seen.  In my test I put 3 Seagate
Barracuda XT drives in a port multiplier and connected that to one port
of a PCIe 3124 card.

The MIRROR case is at about the I/O bandwidth limit of those drives.

Hello:

I like AMD because ALL their Athlon X2 and Phenom have it. Intel some models
have it some ones dont. then you have to check first at intel page to be

If you are using freebsd-update to keep your system up-to-date is normal.
Unless updates apply to kernel it will keep the number of the last one who
patch it.

rTorrent and XML-RPC

[Micah R Ledbetter]

Hello. 

I am ultimately trying to install rtgui 0.2.7, which is a frontend for the 
rtorrent bit torrent client. I'm running FreeBSD 7.1-RELEASE-p2, and I've 
installed apache22, mod_scgi, xmlrpc-c-devel, and rtorrent-devel from ports. 
rtorrent works great on the CLI as-is; I've been using it for downloading 
torrents for months with no problems. 

However, to make rtgui work, I have to get XML-RPC working within rtorrent 
first, and that's the entirety of my problem - this post isn't actually about 
rtgui at all. Instead, it's about a problem I'm having with XML-RPC, either in 
rtorrent itself, or in Apache or mod_scgi... I can't actually tell which.

Here's what I've done so far: 

I've added this line to .rtorrent.rc:

> scgi_port = 127.0.0.1:5000 

Now, when I start up rtorrent, it logs this information: 

> (17:07:59) XMLRPC initialized with 517 functions.
> (17:07:59) The SCGI socket is bound to a specific network device yet may 
> still pose a security risk, consider using 'scgi_local'.

I assume that this means that XML-RPC is working properly with rtorrent, but I 
have no way to test this. 

I'm also running Apache 2.2, and I've added the following lines to httpd.conf: 

> LoadModule scgi_module libexec/apache22/mod_scgi.so 
> (...snip...)
> SCGIMount "/RPC2" 127.0.0.1:5000

However, when I restart apache, I get the following message in the error log, 
repeated once every few seconds:

> [Tue Nov 24 17:15:56 2009] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] File does not exist: 
> /usr/local/www/htdoc/default/RPC2

I have tried to use the xmlrpc command line binary[0] to test Apache's XML-RPC 
connection to rtorrent[1], but it gives me an error message. 

> m...@box> cd /usr/ports/net/xmlrpc-c-devel/work/xmlrpc-c-1.18.00/tools/xmlrpc/
> m...@box> ./xmlrpc localhost system.listMethods 
> Failed. Call failed. HTTP response code is 404, not 200. (XML-RPC fault code 
> -504)

And now I'm in over my head. 

Has anyone successfully installed rtorrent + xmlrpc support on FreeBSD before, 
and, if so, would you be willing to steer me in the right direction? I feel 
like I must be missing something simple (in large part because I could find 
nothing useful on Google when I searched for that Apache error message, of 
course replacing "/usr/local/www/htdoc/default" with an asterisk), but I've 
been banging my head against the wall for quite a while and I could use some 
help. Searching for the xmlrpc error message has also turned up nothing. 

One thing in particular I'm confused about is where it's actually broken. Is 
XML-RPC support working in rtorrent, but failing in Apache/mod_scgi? Or is it 
broken in rtorrent despite the messages that rtorrent is presenting, such that 
when Apache tries to connect to rtorrent via XML-RPC, it doesn't work through 
no fault of Apache's or mod_scgi's? If someone knows a way to test this, I'd 
also appreciate hearing it. 

Thanks very much.

- Micah

[0] I can't tell if I'm missing something or what, but the port for 
xmlrpc-c-devel doesn't seem to install the xmlrpc binary anywhere, even though 
it does build it, so I'm just calling it from the build directory. 

[1] This procedure is outlined on rtorrent's XML-RPC wiki page: 
. In particular, the 
system.listMethods call is a valid function, per that 
page.___

xinetd: bind argument

[Madhusudan R]

Hi,

I've a question with regards to the "bind" argument in the xinetd
configuration. Can we assign multiple IPs to it like this?

service abc
{

...
..
bind = a.b.c.d p.q.r.s
...
.
.
}

Or like this:

service abc
{


bind = a.b.c.d
bind = w.x.y.z
..
..
}

I've seen the first setup work on and off. When it doesn't work, I've edited
the file and "re-arranged" the IPs, and it works. At other times, the "same
setup" does not work. What am I missing?

The xinetd version is 2.3.14 on FreeBSD 7.2.

Thanks,
Madhu

You can try running a linux live-cd or maybe Windows to discard a FreeBSD

binutils

[Alex R]

Hi Guys,

Is there any news on when the version of binutils that ships as part of 
the base system will be updated? The version that ships with 7.x etc is 
about 5 years old now.


It creates problems on amd64 when compiling mplayer (assembly language 
directive errors), and can be resolved by installing a newer version of 
binutils.


Feel free to share your thoughts :)

Thank you Polytropon.  I have installed /usr/ports/emulators/linux_base-fc4
and now I have the following:

  /usr/compat/linux/lib/libnsl-2.3.6.so
  /usr/compat/linux/lib/libnsl.so.1

I have put linux_enable="YES" in /etc/rc.conf and rebooted the server;
however, I still get the same response.  What am missing?

questions about FreeBSD

[Julian R A Manning]

Dear Sir/Madam

I have some questions about FreeBSD. The questions I had in mind are: 

. What type of OS is it? Is it single/multi user, multitasking, what
family does it belong to? 

. General features (at least three)? Firewall, GUI, Networking and
so on. 

. Minimum Hardware Requirements? Processors, RAM, Hard drive space,
type of monitors and so on. 

. File system supported? 

. Applications (at least three)? eg. wordprocessing and so on. 

It would be very helpful if you could just pass on this email to someone who
has experience with FreeBSD. 

Yours sincerely, Julian Manning

Re: Userland PPP fails to load via rc.conf (7.2/amd64)

[Alex R]

Thank you Ruben :-) :-)

I wouldn't have thought in a million years that could be the issue, but 
what you have said makes perfect sense. Looks like its back to /bin/sh 
for root.


Cheers, Alex.

Definately. before ldconfig is run, only the system libraries in /lib and /usr/lib

are known. Doing a "su -m root" at that time, as /etc/rc.d/ppp is doing, will
result in the error message you got, as bash wants to load libintl.so.8, which
lives in /usr/local/lib.

Hi Ruben,

Output is as follows:

/usr/bin/su:
  libutil.so.7 => /lib/libutil.so.7 (0x800635000)
  libpam.so.4 => /usr/lib/libpam.so.4 (0x800744000)

  libc.so.7 => /lib/libc.so.7 (0x800962000)
   


That's normal. Shall I take a guess?

You changed root's shell to bash!
bash uses libintl, and will be invoked by the "su -m $ppp_user" in
/etc/rc.d/ppp

Yet another good reason not to change root's default shell :D

cheers,
Ruben

Hi Guys,

Funnily enough, the solution presented in that article seems to fix the

There are also some interesting responses in comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc 
about this (I opened a thread there too).

something called confcheck had died with signal 12.



Hm, that is not good imho. Smells like hardware fault.

  

I ran memtest86 on this system for about 6 hours and after about 20
passes, no errors reported.



Memory is only one system component. A processor/disk may be overheated,
coolers stopped, etc. A very good test is make world (one after another
several times).

  
Shouldn't be a heating issue, the case has fans galore in it, the 
thermal side of things look ok from what I can see :) It's one of the 
recent gigabyte motherboards that uses DDR3 memory. I did find a setting 
in the BIOS that had a title of DRAM performance enhance, it was set to 
turbo by default, I have set it back to standard in case that was 
causing stability issues (the machine is not overclocked). I have also 
gone back to the i386 release instead of amd64. Done a build world and 
have built several ports, no core dumps or unexplained phenomena as of 
yet (fingers crossed). though if the system starts to act up again, I 
will be sending the motherboard back!


Off topic, it wouldn't be a first time that the amd64 release has 
presented odd issues. I have a machine with an Intel desktop board with 
a core duo cpu in it (EMT64 capable) with 4GB of DDR3 memory, freebsd 
7/amd64 or freebsd 8/amd64 refuse to boot. On that machine, it just page 
faults during the kernel init (had a PR open for over a year now, going 
nowhere), however the i386 release of freebsd boots ok. 64 bit linux 
works perfectly on that board.


It's a bit of a hit and miss thing these days with motherboards and open 
source operating systems. I've generally had a good run with FreeBSD on 
Gigabyte hardware.


Thanks for your suggestions though.

installworld fails on 7.2-RELEASE/amd64

[Alex R]

Hi Guys,

Have done tonnes of buildworld's before and never ran into the problem I
a having on this new machine.

Basically I have csup'd my source tree on a freshly installed
7.2-RELEASE/amd64 box (tracking the 7.2-RELEASE branch).

make buildworld -- works ok.
make buildkernel KERNCONF=custom -- works ok
make installkernel KERNCONF=custom -- works ok

Boot into single user mode and do the usual things (mount filesystems etc),

mergemaster -p -- works ok.
make installworld -- FAIL

After a minute of installworld running, it dies with this error.

btxld -v -E 0x2000 -f bin -b
/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/boot/i386/boot2/../btx/btx/btx -l boot2.ldr  -o
boot2.ld -P 1 boot2.bin
btxld:No such file or directory
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/src/sys/boot/i386/boot2.
*** Error code 1

I have WITHOUT_LIB32 defined in my /etc/src.conf (even undefining this
and doing a buildworld from scratch didn't fix it), I also have
NO_PROFILE turned on in my /etc/make.conf (as suggested by the FreeBSD
handbook on improving build times - has never caused me a problem in the
past)

Apart from that, everything on the system is stock standard.

I did Google this error, but found no definitive solution, one post I
found suggested that perhaps the system time/date is wrong or that
adjkerntz -i was missed after entering single user mode. This is not the
case for me. Time and date is correct while in single or multi user mode.

Any ideas on what is causing this problem?

I am in the process of deleting /usr/src and completely csup'ing the 
source tree from scratch, and will try another rebuild, however I am 
skeptical this will fix anything.


Any ideas/suggestions welcomed.

Thanks!
Alex
