NetBSD 8.0: /usr/bin/m4 is broken
I just updated my laptop from NetBSD 7 to 8. When starting my X session which uses twm, the session didn't start properly. It turned out that /usr/bin/m4 was looping with 100% cpu use. Ctwm uses m4 to preprocess the .ctwmrc file. Mine starts more or less like this: # # CTWM configuration file. # # # Derived from Anthony Thyssens ".twmrc.m4" for multiple ctwm versions. # changecom()dnl # Do not remove comments from the result changequote([,])dnl # m4 quoting interferes with shell escapes dnl Capitalised version of the window managers name, for use in Menus define( TWM_NAME, translit(TWM_TYPE, [cvt], [CVT]))dnl Precisely this prefix makes it loop: vargaz:/tmp$ /usr/bin/m4 /tmp/test # # CTWM configuration file. # # # Derived from Anthony Thyssens ".twmrc.m4" for multiple ctwm versions. # and no more output occurs. Normally TWM_NAME and TWM_TYPE are predefined by ctwm but it fails equally if they are not.

NetBSD 8 on Old ThinkPad - strange mouse issues
Hi All! I just upgraded to 8.0 on my "super vintage" IBM ThinkPad 600... my oldest x86 laptop with NetBSD. 6.x worked very well on it! I upgraded to 7.x some weeks ago and had issues with X11, which I reported here but got no answer. Now I just upgraded again to 8.0! Luckily, this time there are many binary pacakges for x86 (8.0_2018Q1, Q2 is almost empty?) I have a couple of issues though, in the following "importance" order: 1) X11 is almost unusuable due to the mouse not moving 2) with a little more heavy usage (I was removign packages, updating trees, etc) the tlp0 interface started complaining about timeouts. Only a reboot recovers! tlp0: transmit timeout tlp0: filter setup and transmit timeout the last one repeats forever... this did not happen on 6.x and neither 7.1 for the short time I used it. 3) the PCMCI network card is work only in the uppter slot (I think to remember I compiled for 6.x series a custom kernel with an option to enable) 4) a hot reboot will usually hang when reaching "fdc0 at isa0 port 0x3f0-0x3f7 irq 6 drq 2" while a cold start goes through. Maybe it is related with 3) Issue 1) makes the machine unusable though What happens is very strange: X11 comes up correctly, including windowmanager, but moving the mouse pointer appears to move it only horizontally on a line! But in fact it is a display issue, I can blindly click and move menus, so it works but it appears not, something which I have never seen. This happens both with the internal trackpoint as with an external mouse. Strange thing is that the mouse already starts on the top line, instead of centered, on startup!

There're updates available to both BIOS and firmware under Windows, but I don't have any Windows machine.

Re: What are all these core files?
Yes, those are core files related to various "xscreensaver" display modes (/usr/pkg/libexec/xscreensaver/*). If you have "xscreensaver-demo" installed, you might be able to see what happens when those modes are selected to run. In the thread starting with: http://mail-index.netbsd.org/pkgsrc-users/2018/07/02/msg027089.html I noted problems with image loading which would cause several display modes ("display hacks") to segfault. That much was fixed in pkgsrc-HEAD, but the 'xscreensaver-getimage' helper program still dumps core when it should be supplying a colorbar image. -- |/"\ John D.

What are all these core files?
I have suddenly started getting all of these core files in my home directory. If I delete them they just show up the next day again. They don't even appear to relate to actual programs. They seem to be related to screensavers. Does anyone know where they are coming from?

Does sysupgrade work only for subsequent releases?
Hi All, I tried to do a sysupgrade for my system which I thought to be 7.1.1 and wanted to upgrade to 7.1.2 (and afterwards 8.0). So I carried out a sysupgrade, rebooted and I was surprised when executing uname that I got back 7.1 instead of 7.1.2. It seems I didn't screw up anything but that's exactly the reason why I am asking: does sysupgrade only support upgrade to subsequent (follow up) releases? Don't get me wrong, that's not an issue for me. I just want to make sure that I indeed haven't screwed up anything and now I can carry out an upgrade to 7.1.1 first, then to 7.1.2 and finally to 8.0. Thanks for any hints in advance! Best regards, r0ller

The last one is typically something like: acpi: entering S5 or similar. Do you see those? Any errors printed there in the last seconds before it reboots? This may be a problem with you BIOS/Firmware and it is worth to check if there is an update available. Martin
Re: poweroff and shutdown -p now only reboot my machine
First of all thank you for your reply. I'm really enjoying this system. Yes, of course. All the following commands act like reboot: sudo poweroff sudo shutdown -p now sudo halt -v The machine closes down all running applications and apears to shutdown, but immediately starts booting again, exactly like reboot. Actually, I see no difference if I issue sudo reboot Also, when booting it shows random_seed: /etc/entropy-file: Not present, which I belive is consistent with rebooting behaviour. If I hard shutdown by pressing the power bottom, which I know I shouldn’t do, the random_seed is present and read at boot. Currently, I shutdown the laptop and press the power button when it starts to boot up again, but I would prefer if I could shutdown the system properly. NetBSD-8 running now is updated from the RC_2 release if that matters.

poweroff and shutdown -p now only reboot my machine
Hi all, Just installed NetBSD-8 on my laptop hp probook 6470b I've been using Void Linux musl-libC build with awesome wm for quite sometime, but this is my first NetBSD machine. Most things are working just fine. Wifi doesn't work due to a, I think, unsupported broadcom chip. Although, this is not an issue, since I plan to replace this chip anyway. My problem is that both poweroff and shutdown -p now only reboot the laptop. Here are the specs, pin@NetBSD-8 ~$ pcictl pci0 list 000:00:0: Intel Ivy Bridge Host Bridge (host bridge, revision 0x09) 000:02:0: Intel Ivy Bridge Integrated Graphics Device (VGA display, revision 0x09) 000:20:0: Intel 7 Series USB xHCI (USB serial bus, xHCI, revision 0x04) 000:22:0: Intel 7 Series MEI Controller (miscellaneous communications, revision 0x04) 000:25:0: Intel 82579V Gigabit Network Connection (ethernet network, revision 0x04) 000:26:0: Intel 7 Series USB EHCI (USB serial bus, EHCI, revision 0x04) 000:27:0: Intel 7 Series HD Audio (mixed mode multimedia, revision 0x04) 000:28:0: Intel 7 Series PCIE (PCI bridge, revision 0xc4) 000:28:1: Intel 7 Series PCIE (PCI bridge, revision 0xc4) 000:28:2: Intel 7 Series PCIE (PCI bridge, revision 0xc4) 000:28:3: Intel 7 Series PCIE (PCI bridge, revision 0xc4) 000:29:0: Intel 7 Series USB EHCI (USB serial bus, EHCI, revision 0x04) 000:31:0: Intel Mobile HM76 LPC (ISA bridge, revision 0x04) 000:31:2: Intel 7 Series (mobile) SATA Controller (AHCI) (SATA mass storage, AHCI 1.0, revision 0x04) 035:00:0: JMicron Technology JMB38X IEEE 1394 Host Controller (IEEE1394 serial bus, OpenHCI, revision 0x30) 035:00:1: JMicron Technology JMB388 SD/MMC Host Controller (miscellaneous system, revision 0x30) 035:00:2: JMicron Technology JMB388 SD Host Controller (SD Host Controller system, interface 0x01, revision 0x30) 036:00:0: Broadcom BCM43228 Dualband 802.11 (miscellaneous network) Also, as you can see bellow every attempt to poweroff is logged as a restart pin@NetBSD-8 ~$ cat /var/log/messages | grep restart Jul 28 20:00:00 NetBSD-8 syslogd[281]: restart Jul 28 21:00:00 NetBSD-8 syslogd[281]: restart Jul 28 21:05:17 NetBSD-8 syslogd[282]: restart Jul 28 23:01:59 NetBSD-8 syslogd[281]: restart Jul 29 09:51:20 NetBSD-8 syslogd[281]: restart Jul 29 11:45:55 NetBSD-8 syslogd[281]: restart All these are my last attempts at shutting down my machine.
