Hi Aioi,

There's the already mentioned apm(8) (i.e. -l, -m options) or you
could run something like this:

#!/bin/sh

sysctl -n hw.sensors.acpiac0.indicator0 \
hw.sensors.acpibat0.watthour0 \
hw.sensors.acpibat0.watthour3 | awk 'NR == 1 { ac = $1 }
NR == 2 { full = $1 }
NR == 3 { remaining = $1 }
END { if ( ac == "On" )
state = "charging"
else
state = "discharging"
printf("%s %d%s %s%s\n", "Remaining battery life is",
remaining/full*100, "% and it is", state, "\.") }'

It depends upon your precise needs, but you could look into sensorsd(8)

Hi,

Did you happen to forget to do your pkg_add -u to upgrade packages?  I
suspect it might be openvpn not updated yet throwing the error?

Guys, thanks a lot for 6.0 release. Honestly I've never heard your
release songs and today just while describing to my teenage son
history of Unix where I mentioned OpenBSD on its prominent place and
also your songs he asked me straight if I've heart some of them. No.
I'm correcting this on 6.0 and I'm amazed by quality of your PFs.

According to what I'd read in the groff info page I'd tried adding
'.ad n' to my macros, but it didn't override the system wide settings.

Well, I'll explain what I did in case others need to know how to do it.

I copied the file /usr/local/share/groff/1.22.3/tmac/troffrc to my
$GROFF_TMAC_PATH and deleted these lines:

.ad l
.de ad

And problem solved.

OpenBSD 6.0 panic

[Bastien Durel]

Hello.

I upgraded my router to 6.0 yesterday, and now I got a panic each time
I reboot it.

Here is a console log :

# reboot

rebooting...

The svcan deamon which is to be shut down when the panic occurs
monitors a few(4) openvpn tunnels, in TAP mode, over which ospfd+ospf6d
runs. When it's stopped, the tun* interfaces is removed, I guess it's
related ?

I've attached a boot log (with dmesg).

There's a "Bad system call" in the networking start too, but I think
it's not related (and I don't know what interface produces this
message)

Thanks,

I am not sure if it is really necessary to change the general groff settings 
just to use this settings for man pages.  I had the same problem long time ago. 
 Indeed there is a readme and it's the users fault to not read it.  But groff 
is expected to work out of the box, so I assume many others may not be aware of 
this readme.  Would it not be better to just patch the -man and -mdoc macros 
and not changing groff's settings for typesetting?

groff issue

[Walter Alejandro Iglesias]

I'm posting this here instead of asking directly to groff mailing list
because (I hate to say it) I can't reproduce this issue in Linux using
the same groff version (1.22.3).  I use groff every so often but, if I
remember well, I experienced the same with groff in openbsd years ago.
I mean, it isn't new.

On ps output, text isn't filled (justified) as groff should do by
default.  Even including the .fi option in macros has no effect.

Perhaps someone familiarized with groff can give me a clue (Ingo?).
Some library used by groff in openbsd?  Some compile option?

Perhaps you have doubts about the meaning of "doubt".

Just see latin "dubius".

I think it's the use of the word "doubt" ("a feeling of uncertainty or
lack of conviction").

I have noticed that some people tend to use "I have a doubt" with the
meaning "I have a question/issue/problem".  This is different from "I'm
doubting" which means "I have no confidence in" or "I'm questioning".

That is for PPP and is only used for the connection to the dongle itself, it is
not passed to the network. It should be irrelevant for use with umb(4).

Did you add a default route pointing to the umb interface?

It would be useful to show 'ifconfig -A' and 'netstat -rn'.

They're all run from one host NIC, via a vlan-capable switch chip (BCM53125)
which needs some degree of driver support.

According to http://linux-sunxi.org/Lamobo_R1 "security implications" section
all ports are interconnected by default, but this might not apply after boot.

Yes: find what is using W+X mappings, most likely the embedded copy of pcre
has the jit enabled, and disable or fix it.

Then create another fs for just wxneeded binaries. If you don't know,
then there are 2 things which needs to be done in order to have such
binary run well: (1) binary needs to be linked with -z wxneeded linker
flag and (2) binary needs to be put on fs mounted with wxallowed flag.
Both those things/conditions need to be done together otherwise such
binary will not run well...

This is NOT a right advice.

So instead of asking "How does this work?" he should say "Thanks!" (and
still not know how it works)?

I don't see the connection. It was just a question, and at least I could
not read anything extra into it.

The Alfa AWUS036NHA it's based on the Atheros AR9271 chipset and
should be supported by athn(4).

Re: php and W^X

you can recompile and mark with PT_OPENBSD_WXNEEDED every port
requiring wxallowed. Then you can remove wxallow from /usr/local.

Buy a serial cable for the board.

Re: Recommendation about an Alfa usb wireless adapter to use it as HostAP

[ludovic coues]

A quick look at the website show that most older models use realtek
chip while newer device don't specify anything. One can assume that if
the chip is unspecified, they will use whatever work for each
manufacturing batch. Then you are in the wonderful world of wireless
chips, full of uncertainty and surprise.

Best case scenario, they still use realtek chip and the device will be
covered by one of on the urt driver, rsu, urtw or urtwn. The complete
list of driver for usb wireless network interface is available at
usb(4)

php and W^X

[Thuban]

Hello,
It seems that php-7.0 require wxallowed.
I don't like the idea to "wxallow" the whole /usr/local.

Do you have any advice?

Yeah, you probably should. Also you can use M:Tier, they ship binary

Recommendation about an Alfa usb wireless adapter to use it as HostAP

[C. L. Martinez]

Hi all,

 I would like to install OpenBSD as a hostap for my home. I have done the same 
in the past, running OpenBSD as a kvm guest on my laptop and all works really 
well. I am thinking to use an Alfa (http://www.alfa.com.tw) usb wireless 
adapter. There is not much information in Alfa's web about which of them can 
run as a HostAP.

 Any recommendation? Maybe AWUS036ACH can supports this functionality, but I am 
not sure ...

Thanks.

Banana Pi R1 - any hints?

[Peter J. Philipp]

Hi,

Recently I got a Banana Pi R1 (the one with 5 RJ 45 slots).  Physically it
looks like it has 1 RJ45 slot in one circuit and the 4 others in another.

As a test I ran raspbian OS on it and it worked.  For OpenBSD I got it to
get to to boot prompt and it loads the kernel but from then on it switches
to com0 which I don't have set up on this board.  Is there any way to make
the HDMI vga work?

As it boots blindly I suspect it either panics or the RJ45 devices are not
detected as I modified the bsd.rd kernel by placing a /auto_install.conf
file into the root ala autoinstall(8), and watched the network traffic
emanating from this computer.  None afaict.

I'M wondering if there is any hints I could try to see any activity from this
little device?  I don't have another armv7 device so compiling is a nono, 
however I can extract the ramdisk from bsd.rd and modify it and put it back
into bsd.rd.

I could donate this BPI but I'd rather donate money.  It cost around what 
I usually donate every half year so it's only 3 months before I do a
paypal donation.
