Asus UX305FA screen blanking 3200x1800
Hello, I'm attempting to run OpenBSD on a Asus Zenbook UX305FA with the 3200x1800 screen, Broadwell, Intel Graphics 5300. When booting the screen goes blank after inteldrm0 is output. It briefly displays the console in a higher resolution then goes blank. When running xdm the screen will briefly show the x window when waking from a screen blanking timeout. dmesg below. Also submitted a sendbug Thanks for any help.

I doubt there is a book wich explains all from A to Z. Maybe this is not the intent, anyway. The OP must find his own level of knowledge and aquire the proper book. Otherwise it will be just a waste of time full of frustration. I was reading Illustrated TCP/IP by R.W. Stevens for example and I was not able to understand it fully.

Two athn devices acting weird
Hi! I have two AR9281 mini PCIe devices in my router, one on 5GHz and the other on 2.4GHz. The weird thing is, they act nice when only one of them is plugged in, but if both, one of them is acting iffy. An example: I have these two hostname.if(5) files: hostname.athn0: ==8<== media autoselect mode 11g chan 10 nwid daniell wpakey _ wpaprotos wpa2 mediaopt hostap #nwflag hidenwid inet6 eui64 up ##!/sbin/ifconfig athn0 media autoselect mode auto mediaopt hostap #!/sbin/ifconfig athn0 chan 10 #!/sbin/ifconfig athn0 media autoselect mode 11g chan 10 mediaopt hostap ==8<== hostname.athn1: ==8<== media autoselect mode 11a chan 36 nwid daniell wpakey _ wpaprotos wpa2 mediaopt hostap #nwflag hidenwid inet6 eui64 up ==8<== athn1 comes up just fine, but athn0 gets configured only half-baked: athn0: flags=8943 mtu 1500 lladdr 04:f0:21:_ index 5 priority 4 groups: wlan media: IEEE802.11 autoselect (autoselect mode 11a hostap) status: active ieee80211: nwid daniell chan 10 bssid 04:f0:21:_ wpakey _ wpaprotos wpa2 wpaakms psk wpaciphers tkip,ccmp wpagroupcipher tkip inet6 fe80::6f0:21ff:fe14:c78c%athn0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x5 athn1: flags=8943 mtu 1500 lladdr 04:f0:21:_ index 6 priority 4 groups: wlan media: IEEE802.11 autoselect (autoselect mode 11a hostap) status: active ieee80211: nwid daniell chan 36 bssid 04:f0:21:_ wpakey _ wpaprotos wpa2 wpaakms psk wpaciphers tkip,ccmp wpagroupcipher tkip inet6 fe80::6f0:21ff:fe14:c837%athn1 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x6 See how athn0 didn't get the 11g option? But after I reconfigure it with: # sh /etc/netstart athn0 # ifconfig athn0 athn0: flags=8943 mtu 1500 lladdr 04:f0:21:_ index 5 priority 4 groups: wlan media: IEEE802.11 autoselect mode 11g hostap status: active ieee80211: nwid daniell chan 10 bssid 04:f0:21:_ wpakey 0x228bb445239a88219823bbd178a4ea26efd3b25acb33ac634fb70a1186238b1e wpaprotos wpa2 wpaakms psk wpaciphers tkip,ccmp wpagroupcipher tkip inet6 fe80::6f0:21ff:fe14:c78c%athn0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x5 ... athn0 gets configured properly. This is why there is a whole /sbin/ifconfig line at the end of the `hostname.athn0' file (although now commented out), so that it configures it (again) during boot. Btw, the identical essid is not by accident, it eases things for me. Nevertheless, I also tried it with different ones. This has actually been the case since I've been using these devices (for like 6 months or so), I just got around to write up this mail because now it has been bothering me well enough :) Not the worst thing -- I mean, it's not critical --, but if I can help debug this somehow, I'd be happy to.

Parsing HTML manually is probably the safest option, albeit ugly. You will still suffer from bugs in your HTTP(S) tool though. Pick whatever you want?! The problem with browsers is, that one must take what others want, normally Internet Explorer. A browser is an ugly piece of fatware that one must use, unless you forget the WEB. I survive with firefox, to extract content from heavy web pages like newspapers, w3m (also lynx and links) can be very helpfull. I did not find a better alternative. As time passes, there are less alternatives. Opera was usable some years ago, not anymore. I suspect that with HTTP/2 and HTML5 the whole "developement" is getting worse. Well, I am lazy and let run the Web Browser in my computer. Better is perhaps to have a computer (BSD or something else) for serious things, perhaps without internet connection, and a browser machine (PC with Windows, Mac, Linux, etc). Rodrigo.
letsencrypt redux
A few days ago, there was a thread regarding letsencrypt clients and their, um, cavalier approach to security. Since I like my free certs and I like automation, and I also like not worrying about being owned, I reckoned I could do better than mystery-meat clients. https://github.com/kristapsdz/letskencrypt This isolates the steps of refreshing a certificate into isolated processes, each of which is priv-dropped, chrooted, pledged, etc. The manpage says it all: https://github.com/kristapsdz/letskencrypt/blob/master/letskencrypt.1 It's obviously brand-new, but it works and I thought I'd see if anybody's interested in looking over the libcrypto bits--if not the approach in general. The stuff that has manpages I think I get, but there's some (e.g., X509v3 extension handling, properly seeding RAND, calling _free if the ptr is NULL, memory management, ...) that's undocumented and is just shot in the dark. Moreover, the answers offered on OpenSSL mailing lists seem... questionable. It's designed to run on OpenBSD but works crappily on Mac OS X and Linux. Crappily because both are hostile to good security practises. I'm not going to put any extra effort into these for compatibility. (Side note: this requires the patch to json-c posted 09/05/2015 to the ports list. Or is there a better json parser in C?) Thoughts? Letsencrypt experts? Best, Kristaps
Re: apache-httpd-openbsd?
I've had to think about it, but since everything I've written is in mod_perl, I'm going to have to switch over to Apache 2. Very little perl is written or tested for Apache 1 now, so I'm going to change over to Apache 2. Thanks for the heads up a while back. It gave me a chance to think things over carefully.

Re: Acer Aspire V5-571 WiFi card and Click Pad help
X doesn't recognize the touchpad as clickpad automatically. Open an X-terminal and enter $ synclient ClickPad=1 This will enable click-and-drag/select actions with two fingers. For emulating left-clicks with tapping, enter $ synclient TapButton1=1 and for right-clicks with two-finger tapping, the command is $ synclient TapButton2=3 Of course, you can also automate this and make it permanent, see $ man synaptics $ man xorg.conf etc. On 05/15/2016 10:57 AM, Siju George wrote: > I have an Acer Aspire V5-571 with OEM Windows 8.

softraid0: sdx has unsupported sector size (4096)
Hey friends, my new external HDD has a sector size of 4096: # disklabel -h sd8 # /dev/rsd8c: type: SCSI disk: SCSI disk label: My Passport 0827 duid: 9210ccc858d72f52 flags: bytes/sector: 4096 sectors/track: 63 tracks/cylinder: 255 sectors/cylinder: 16065 cylinders: 45599 total sectors: 732558336 # total bytes: 2.7T boundstart: 64 boundend: 732558273 drivedata: 0 I wanted to create a crypto raid on that drive and used the following commands to create one. fdisk -igy sd8 Then i created a partition with disklabel -E sd8 resulting in the following disklabel: 16 partitions: #size offset fstype [fsize bsize cpg] a: 2.7T 64RAID c: 2.7T0 unused Now i wannted to use bioctl -cC -lsd8a softraid0 but i get the following error message: softraid0: sd8a has unsupported sector size (4096) softraid0: invalid metadata format I looked around and found an old email from Kenneth R Westerback on this mailinglist where he stated that the "4k problem" was solved at "c2k15" but never commited. Is there a reason it never got picked up again? Here i a link to the old post: http://misc.openbsd.narkive.com/xjppPBE5/softraid-4-bioctl-8-vs-non-512-byte-sectors-disks#post6 I am on OpenBSD 5.9 AMD64. Thanks and greetings Leo

Hey, On 05/15/16 09:23, Maurice McCarthy wrote: I believe the installation ramdisk has limited space so you likely used it all up with "MAKEDEV all". It is limited to install on very old systems. thanks for the answer. That actually would explain my problem! Maybe the bioctl error message could be tweaked a little bit to explain the problem a little bit more in detail. Thanks and greetings Leo
Acer Aspire V5-571 WiFi card and Click Pad help
I have an Acer Aspire V5-571 with OEM Windows 8. I am going to wipe Windows and install OpenBSD on it. As a trial I installed OpenBSD 5.9 in one of the GPT partitions and face there issues. 1. Atheros AR9462 Wifi card shows up in dmesg but not in ifconfig fw_update does not help. How can I get wireless enabled? 2. Touch pad - Elantec Clickpad version4 works but selection of text holding the left corner does not work. tapping to choose does not work either. Any help to make these things work is highly appreciated. Thanks Siju
