As I said, I don't use vmware and can't help you with that.
But I'm pretty sure that others are using it and might have
encountered the same problems.  Please take this issue to
the freebsd-emulat...@freebsd.org mailing list.

Re: misc/149335: shell script runs on Linux but not on freebsd

2010-08-08 Thread Paul Lambert
Oliver,

I was well on my way of installing VMware-Player for i386 linux on FreeBSD
until I encountered these error messages.

Aug  8 20:44:09 BRSINC-VM02 kernel: linux: pid 12889 (dd): ioctl fd=0,
cmd=0x6d02 ('m',2) is not implemented
Aug  8 20:44:09 BRSINC-VM02 kernel: linux: pid 12896 (dd): ioctl fd=0,
cmd=0x6d02 ('m',2) is not implemented

The install script extracted the installer and began installing the rpms.  I
have attached the verbose output file.

At this point should this be considered a linux emulator bug and reported as
such?

Paul

I can just get the i386 vmware version and should install and run.  Last 
question is there a x86_64 bit Linux module? Is one I'm development?

Sorry for the late reply, I don't have much time currently.

Maybe someone else from the -questions list can jump in,
because I don't have much experience with vmware (I prefer
qemu or virtual box).

Not much, probably none at all.  Some people even say that
Linux binaries run faster on FreeBSD than they run on Linux,
because they benefit from the better network code and VM
system.

Anyway, the "linuxulator" isn't really an emulator, it's
rather an ABI-level compatibility layer, very similar to
the i386 (32bit) compatibility layer on FreeBSD/amd64 (64bit).

I'm afraid you won't be able to install vmware this way.
I suggest you look at the emulator/vmware* ports in the
ports collection.

There's a bogus line break which is causing this particular
parsing error.  Either join the lines, or put a backslash
at the end of the first line (behind -aj).

But I'm afraid this is the smallest of the problems.
I suspect you won't be able to get this script to run
correctly on FreeBSD, because it seems to do too many
linux-specific things.

Re: misc/149335: shell script runs on Linux but not on freebsd

2010-08-07 Thread Paul Lambert
Oliver,

One more time.  I should have included this in my last Email.  Instead of
using the exact offset into the file and "dd" is there a way to insert a
text "tag" such as codeStartHere_1 in the script then find this location by
a search and then extract beginning at this location +1 and extracting to
codeStopsHere_1 -1, or by the number of bytes.  Maybe the right solution is
to develop a smarter install script.

Thanks again, again,

Paul

 That command works fine for me:

 $ MAGIC_OFFSET=42
 $ file=/etc/motd
 $ MAGIC_NUMBER=`od -An -t u4 -N 4 -j $MAGIC_OFFSET "$file" | tr -d ' '`
 $ echo $MAGIC_NUMBER

 What's the exact error message that you get, and what are
 the values of the variables involved?

 By the way, when debugging shell scripts it is very helpful
 to run the shell with -vx.  Then it prints the script as it
 is being parsed, and additionally each command is printed
 after expansion.

2010-08-07 Thread Paul Lambert
Oliver,

One last observation I have made regarding this bundle installer.  The
reason for all the size calculations is that the installer and code are
offset a specific bytes within the file.  Even if I correct the shell calls
the file size will change and the code will not be extracted correctly.

However, I can open the file and find exactly where the code is located,
extract it and place it in the location where the shell script would place
and see if it will run from there.  This is a longshot but the fact is shell
scripts automate what can be manually performed.  But, using vi will be
tedious.  Gedit will not open the file.  Are there any other very forgiving
editors that will make it easier to edit this file?

Thanks again.

Re: misc/149335: shell script runs on Linux but not on freebsd

2010-08-06 Thread Paul Lambert
Oliver,

Looks like the Linux emulator is only 32 bit.  Here is the error I get after
installing the emulator and running the /usr/compat/linux/bin/bash shell.

This is a x64 bundle and does not match that of the current
architecture.  Please download the x86 bundle.

I would like to see if I can get the x64 to install but if not I think the
x86 will but it may have reduced performance since I am looking to run
virtual machines that in effect would be running on an emulator themselves.

May be necessary to move to Virtual Box but I loose considerable
functionality there especially USB support.

Paul

Re: misc/149335: shell script runs on Linux but not on freebsd

2010-08-06 Thread Paul Lambert
Oliver,

Thanks for the reply.  I am attaching the bash output from the shell
script.  This script implements RPMs so I am sure that I need the linux
module.  I had previously found a guide on how to install RPMs on FreeBSD.
I have  a printer that has an RPM that allows it to work on Linus.  So I
would think that I will need the Linux module in the future.

I previously had made the "stat" change to the shell script and that part
works.  But, the bash shell is reporting an 'od" error.

Finally, how much performance do you lose with the linux module emulator?
Do you believe I only need the emulator to get VMware installed or will it
make other linux calls that are not part of FreeBSD?

Thanks

Paul

That command works fine for me:

$ MAGIC_OFFSET=42
$ file=/etc/motd
$ MAGIC_NUMBER=`od -An -t u4 -N 4 -j $MAGIC_OFFSET "$file" | tr -d ' '`
$ echo $MAGIC_NUMBER
540684323

What's the exact error message that you get, and what are
the values of the variables involved?

By the way, when debugging shell scripts it is very helpful
to run the shell with -vx.  Then it prints the script as it
is being parsed, and additionally each command is printed
after expansion.

Best regards
   Oliver
