8G RAM on 32 bits
Hi, I have this thinkpad laptop and I want to use OpenBSD on it. Now, the laptop has 8G RAM and it is a 32 bits. I would like to know whether open can see them. On linux (sorry!) I know there's a "patched" kernel called PAE that allows the OS to see the RAM (at least it shows up on a "top"). Is there something like this for OpenBSD?

Re: 8G RAM on 32 bits
Thanks, Peter... I thought the same and downloaded the amd64 CD and tried to install it but it would not boot. In my ignorance I supposed that it would be impossible for a 32 bits CPU to do that, so I threw away the CD. Or are you suggesting that I install i386 and then download the amd64 kernel and boot from it later? Will that be compatible with all the installed software (I install the precompiled binaries instead of using ports). Thanks for the feedback. I really appreciate it.

Re: 8G RAM on 32 bits
:) Thanks for the help... I installed it and the 8G RAM are there (see head of dmesg ahead). I have another question... I have this big monitor (30"!) and I would like to use the displayport but X does not seem to understand it, because when I use the displayport cable the monitor is black. With VGA I get it to work but at a much smaller resolution. The monitor has also HDMI (although the laptop does not). Would the quality any better if I used an adapter to plug a HDMI cable to the VGA port of the laptop?

secure suspend on laptop, webcam and youtube (ahem) on thinkpad
Hi, I have installed 5.1 amd64 (see previous e-mails) on a thinkpad and I have these main concerns: 1) How can I use suspend in a secure way? I am using X, of course, and I carry the laptop with me all the time to work in my rucksack. I usually suspend it to resume work later with all windows open etc. But I would like to know whether there is a way to tell suspend it should lock the screen after resuming. Is there such a thing? 2) Unfortunately I have to do a lot of video conferencing with some people and I was wondering whether there is a way to do it on OpenBSD. I know that skype is totally out of question but how about google talk? I have also tried to install ekiga but it is shown as "broken" when I try to install it from the ports. 3) I have realised that firefox and chrome are almost there in playing youtube videos via html5 but not quite. I used to play them in the past with videoreplacer and gecko-mediaplayer but videoreplacer is not available anymore for firefox. Do you have any suggestion for alternatives? Thanks! ___ Openbsd-newbies mailing list Openbsd-newbies@sfobug.theapt.org http://mailman.theapt.org/listinfo/openbsd-newbies
Re: encrypting home and letting it survive releases
Dear all, I am usually following the stable release of Obsd and I like to have my home encrypted. I followed a guide that my friend Dave detailed for me, and I usually do it like this: dd if=/dev/arandom of=/home/wd0h.fs bs=1m count=1024_times_your_GB_here vnconfig -k svnd0 /home/wd0h.fs newfs /dev/rsvnd0c cd / mount /dev/svnd0c /home/ I.e. I create a huge file with arandom that occupies all of my home and then I use vnconfig to mount it every time I reboot the laptop. However, the process takes a lng time. I have two questions: 1- How could I make the home partition "survive" the reinstallation process every release (i.e. every six months)? When I am prompted with the partition tool during install I find myself kind of lost to edit the partition in which home lives as "/home/pau" and I end up erasing it and redoing the process, which is a huge waste of time (encryption plus transfer of data, we're talking about GBs here, a lot) 2- Is there a "more modern" way of encrypting home than what I wrote above? I have read some things in the documentation, but a step by step example after a clean install of how to encrypt the whole /home would be very much appreciated (remember, this mailing list is for newbies!!!)

Hi, thanks for the link! I have a question... how would this apply to a disk that has a partition on it? I mean to keep a small linux partition... There are some desktop applications that unfortunately still do not exist on OpenBSD, such as kdenlive. If I overwrite the MBR, how can I boot later in linux?

cwmrc configuration file question
Hi, I am trying to define groups in cwm but I am a bit lost with the documentation. How could I define in cwmrc 2 groups, named "group alfa" and "group beta" so that ProgramA, ProgramB and ProgramC pop up and are immediately added to group 1 immediately after being executed ProgramD, ProgramE and ProgramF pop up and are immediately added to group 2 immediately after being executed ? I am used to work with virtual desktops and I feel suffocating with only one and plenty of windows minimized, hidden etc without any order. Any suggestion, in particular an example, will be appreciated.

Re: File system speed issues
Hi Stuart, thanks for your reply. It is a pleasure to use this list. This is indeed an i7. I have always looked forward to following -current, but I am afraid of the process and that I mess things up. I have read the site http://www.openbsd.org/faq/current.html and it looks to me as it involves a lot of work. I have too many questions. -Should I always start with a snapshot of current? -When should I update the system? -How often? -Where is the list of changes that I have to do (I believe the upgrade program does not do that for you)? Is there a "newbie" guide to following -current with a step by step example? I am now somehow stuck, because I cannot use the laptop to do real work, so I am hesitating between going back soon to linux (fedora) or stick to OpenBSD, but I have to move on now! Do you have suggestions? Thanks again.

Dear all, many thanks for the help! I followed the advice and tried to upgrade from a recent bsd.rd When I booted (boot bsd.rd), I gave the url of the site from where I got it, and the upgrade program complained that it could not find the required packages on that site (etc53.tgz ...) I am sure that I followed the instructions correctly.. now please let me know what part of that sureness was wrong :) In the meanwhile I am installing fedora on the machine... for the second time... the first one broke in the middle of the process... $§"&$$%&%$!!

Re: File system speed issues
They call it newbies for a reason... I am used to linux automatically starting the network without asking, and I supposed that if the program expanded the path to the correct directory, it did it via the internet but, since the structure is always the same, I see now that's not the case. So, what should I do? Run first shell, dhclient em0 and then ./upgrade? Thanks... On Wed, May 15, 2013 at 8:34 PM, Peter Hessler wrote: > No Address Associated. > > A networking problem of some type.

Re: File system speed issues
I understand what happened. In the install process I never configure the network, because this is a laptop and, if I configure it, at every boot it tries to initiate what it did during the install, and it is not necessarily the same interface. So I started shell, dhclient em0 and everything went smooth, Now I am on current and I have good news: Displayport, once of the reasons I went back to linux, is working now on current!!! I will do some tests on encryption speed later. Pau ___ Openbsd-newbies mailing list Openbsd-newbies@sfobug.theapt.org http://mailman.theapt.org/listinfo/openbsd-newbies
Re: File system speed issues
Hi, yet questions about current. 1- I have fetched bsd.rd and upgraded the system. I made sure that I pointed to the same URL where I got the bsd.rd from. Still, the upgrade program was complaining about SHA not being what bsd.rd was expecting. Is this normal? 2- Also, the fact that I cannot install some programs such as, e.g. ekiga, using pkg_add does because some libraries etc were missing... does it mean that I cannot use pkg_add to install binaries under current and I have to use the ports, instead? Or is this related to the SHA signature? 3- If I only modify files such as /etc/pkg.conf and /etc/rc.conf.local ... do I need to run sysmerge after an upgrade? Because I do not know where to start!

Re: File system speed issues
Dear all,
thanks Stuart a lot for your explanations. I am slowly converging to
make the move back to OpenBSD.
I (of course) still have some questions. But in general I would say I
have got to understand it.
I have also found this site:
http://bsdly.blogspot.de/2012/07/keeping-your-openbsd-system-in-trim.html
and I am doing this. Do you see any error or would you improve something?
Thanks to all of you for your input!
Pau
1- I check a mirror to see whether bsd.rd has changed (i.e. the
timestamp is more recent than last time)
2- If it is, then I download the files to a directory such as ~/upgrade :
ftp -ia ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/snapshots/`uname
-m`/{index.txt,*tgz,bsd*,INS*}
3- I get into that directory and sysmerge etcXX.tgz :
# sysmerge -s etc53.tgz -x xetc53.tgz
(this usually shows nothing, as I am *only* modifying /etc/pkg.config
and /etc/rc.conf.local)
4- Then I copy bsd.rd to /
# cp bsd.rd /
5- I reboot
6- At prompt, I choose bsd.rd
7- I run upgrade
8- When getting to
Location of sets? (cd disk ftp http or 'done') [cd]
I choose disk and give /mnt/home/pau/upgrade as path
9- I reboot
10- $ cd ~/upgrade
# sysmerge -s etc53.tgz -x xetc53.tgz
Is this step necessary ? If so, why, if I already did 3- ?
11- I update the packages:
# pkg_add -vu

vpnc
Hi, I am trying to set up vpnc, and am running into a problem My configuration file reads like: IPSec gateway XXX.XX.XXX.XXX IPSec ID Name_Of_The_ID IPSec secret A_PAssword Xauth username pau Then, as root, I run sysctl net.inet.esp.enable=0 because the install said: In order for vpnc to actually get any received IPsec packet, you have to disable ESP in your kernel and net.inet.esp.udpencap: 1 -> 0 In the man page I came across this: OBLIGATORY WARNING: the most used configuration (XAUTH authentication with pre-shared keys and password authentication) is insecure by design, be aware of this fact when you use vpnc to exchange sensitive data like passwords! What does this mean? I am using vpnc to e.g. access my mail, login to machines etc. Should I not be doing this? If this is the case, how could I improve this situation?

Re: File system speed issues
While I wait for an answer to the last post on this thread (subject),
I would like to share one little experiment I have been doing.
It turns out that copying a file of some 700M from an ext2 drive to an
OpenBSD laptop takes about ~3 minutes or so, unencrypted.
The same on fedora takes 40 seconds from the external drive to an
encrypted drive.
But if I format the drive with OpenBSD to a BSD FS, then copying the
same file from the external drive to an encrypted partition takes 27
seconds!
YES!!
Now, this is it... I will now be moving to OpenBSD!
I still would appreciate some comments on the questions of my last
post, which I also reproduced here for my own convenience:
http://members.aei.mpg.de/amaro-seoane/openbsd-current/
Why do I need the point 7, if I do point 2?
THANKS!

firefox crashes upon relatively light load
Hi, this is 5.3 GENERIC.MP#12 amd64 with 8G RAM, on a thinpad x220. I have continuous firefox crashes. As soon as I have more than 2-3 tabs open, it looks as if firefox consumed a lot of memory, which leads to a freeze in firefox and then a crash. I have blocking pop up enabled and only an addon, adblock. In spite of the lack of ads and popping up windows, the cpu goes up to ~77% and that makes firefox crash. I have observed a similar behaviour with seamoneky and midori, which might be normal, since they are based on gecko. The question is whether this is normal or not, and what to do. I remember reading something related to crashes on firefox and how to avoid that by creating another profile after I installed firefox, but I do not know where to find that information anymore. firefox3.6 seems to behave better, but I am wondering about security. It's a rather old version (current one is 21). Why is 3.6 kept and are any security holes been taken care of?

samsung s3
Hi, I am going to risk this question here, since it's newbies... I have been googling around to find a way but found nothing... Is there a way to mount the s3 galaxy on -current? When I attach it I see in /var/log/messages that it's "seen"... but... how to mount it, if at all possible? Thanks!

printing with CUPS
Hi, I installed cups, run as root cupsenable, typed in the server name in /etc/cups/client.conf and ... I do not see any printer. This is a research institute with many (network - ethernet) printers online all the time. Usually adding the server name to that file as root suffices on linux and one gets access immediately to all printers. Do I need to modify something else or what am I missing? thanks, Pau ___ Openbsd-newbies mailing list Openbsd-newbies@sfobug.theapt.org http://mailman.theapt.org/listinfo/openbsd-newbies
Re: printing with CUPS
I am not root on the printer server, and on linux machines following the instructions I wrote before immediately grant you access to the printers... if CUPS is Common Unix Printing System, why is it not working the way I am used to?

eduroam: iwn0: Failed to initiate AP scan
Dear all,
I am trying to configure my iwn0 to connect to the eduroam network.
I have read in detail this
http://undeadly.org/cgi?action=article&sid=20130128142215
and I am trying to connect by first running
ifconfig iwn0 nwid eduroam bssid 02:20:a6:c3:51:61 wpa wpaakms 802.1x up
wpa_supplicant -i iwn0 -c ./eduroam.conf
The bssid belongs to the local eduroam network.
The file eduroam.conf contains:
ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=wheel
network={
ssid="eduroam"
scan_ssid=1
key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
eap=PEAP
identity="MYUSERNAME"
anonymous_identity="anonym...@mydomain.bla"
password="MYPASSWD"
phase1="peaplabel=0"
phase2="auth=MSCHAPV2"
}
I have followed the example that is given in the man page
wpa_supplicant.conf where I found MSCHAPV2, but unlike in the example,
I use TTLS for eap, as this is the information that I have on my
android phone, which is connecting fine. I have tried to use the same
configuration, of course.
While running
ifconfig iwn0 nwid eduroam bssid 02:20:a6:c3:51:61 wpa wpaakms 802.1x up
seems to work fine (at least it does not complain and the wlan light
stops to blink), when running
wpa_supplicant -i iwn0 -c ./eduroam.conf
I get the error message that ap could not scan: "iwn0: Failed to
initiate AP scan"
It seems as if the bssid of the local eduroam network was wrong, but I
checked it a couple of times.
On a linux laptop, the configuration that works out has this
information in the fields:
Security: WPA & WPA2 Enterprise
Authentication: Protected EAP (PEAP)
Anonymous identity: anonym...@mydomain.bla
CA certificate: none
PEAP version: Automatic
Inner authentication: MSCHAPv2
Username: MYUSERNAME
Password: MYPASSWD
Where do you think that the "iwn0: Failed to initiate AP scan" thing is coming?
thanks!
Pau

why is dmesg/uname/bsd.rd showing 6.2 if running -current?

home encrypted and upgrading OS
Dear all: I prefer to use stable releases of OpenBSD and use a /home encrypted and I was wondering whether it is possible to keep that partition from release to release. I mean, I would like to avoid the work of encrypting a huge partition every time that I update the OS. I have seen this web page: http://eradman.com/posts/openbsd-workstation.html and I was wondering whether I could follow this to keep a separate partition. If this can be done, what would be the steps when I update to 6.0? I would appreciate a dummy, step-by-step guide assuming that I am 5 years old. Another question I have is how to bind a key to xlock + zzz, so that I can lock the screen before suspending, or how to force xlock to be run after resuming. The indications give in that page are not working for me. thanks, Pau ___ Openbsd-newbies mailing list Openbsd-newbies@sfobug.theapt.org http://mailman.theapt.org/listinfo/openbsd-newbies

did you actually mean logger suspending? $ cat /etc/apm/suspend #!/bin/sh logger suspending pkill -USR1 xidle or simply logger?

Re: home encrypted and upgrading OS
Hello, I found out what was happening. just out of curiosity, I ran a grep and # grep -i suspending /var/log/messages Apr 12 13:33:09 pyrrha pau: suspending Apr 12 14:23:58 pyrrha pau: suspending But there were only these two entries. I suspended it again and again with Fn+F4 (thinkpad x220) or closing the lid and only those two showed up. Then I tried to run something like zzz && sleep 15 && grep -i suspending /var/log/messages And I got: zzz: cannot connect to apmd: No such file or directory Which means that apm was not running. I started it from the command line # apmd I closed the lid, opened it and... the screen was locked. But why is apmd not running, if my rc.conf.local, as I said in a previous email, has apm with flags? # cat /etc/rc.conf.local sshd_flags=NO pkg_scripts="dbus_daemon avahi_daemon" dbus_enable=YES apm_flags="-C" xdm_flags="" mixerctl inputs.spkr.mute=on Seemingly this is not enough to have apm ran after boot.

How to lock the screen after suspending in OpenBSD in 6 steps
Hello: Since I guess some one might run into this problem in the future, I thought it would be a good idea to have this information in the mailing list. If you see anything wrong, please let me know. Thanks again, Pau How to lock the screen after suspending in OpenBSD in 6 steps: == 1- Since you do not want to leave a terminal open, do not start X with startx. This would leave open that terminal and launch X on another one. Hence, use xdm 2- Since you are using xdm, you need a .xsession file instead of a .xinitrc 3- My .xsession file looks like xmodmap -e "keycode 22 = BackSpace BackSpace BackSpace BackSpace BackSpace BackSpace" pkill xidle xidle -delay 5 -sw -program "/usr/X11R6/bin/xlock -mode blank" -timeout 90 & exec cwm The first line cancels the function Zap of X, which means that nobody can interrupt your X session by pressing CTRL+Alt+Backspace xidle is necessary to launch the screensaver via xlock 4- Create a suspend file in /etc/apm: $ cat /etc/apm/suspend #!/bin/sh pkill -USR1 xidle 5- Make sure it is executable 6- Make sure apm is running everytime after boot. If it is not, while your laptop will suspend, the script suspend will not be executed, and the screen will not be locked. To test if apmd is running, type zzz from the terminal. A message like zzz: cannot connect to apmd: No such file or directory Will tell you that your apmd is NOT running. To have apmd run after boot, add a flag to rc.conf.local: $ cat /etc/rc.conf.local sshd_flags=NO pkg_scripts="dbus_daemon avahi_daemon" dbus_enable=YES apmd_flags="-A" xdm_flags="" mixerctl inputs.spkr.mute=on ___ Openbsd-newbies mailing list Openbsd-newbies@sfobug.theapt.org http://mailman.theapt.org/listinfo/openbsd-newbies

questions relative to full disk encryption
Dear all: I am following the instructions given in the OpenBSD site [1] and I have one question. If my drive (sd0) has a linux installation on it, when I get to the encryption part of the installation process: dd if=/dev/random of=/dev/sd0c bs=1m (1) Will this overwrite the linux partition? This is /dev/sd0i in my case (I think, I'm writing from the top of my head) (2) After that, I would like to have separate partitions for X, /usr/local/bin etc but I am afraid that these become too small in the next release when I upgrade the system. How bad would it be to only have a / and a swap partition (a and b)? I am just afraid that I end up next time having to repeat the whole encryption process, which is very time consuming...

Dear all: I had a look at http://eradman.com/posts/openbsd-workstation.html (I know it is not official) and tried to follow the example of "performance tuning".

mixerctl output master beyond 255?
Hi!
Is there a way to "boost" output master for values larger than 255?
I'm playing some movies and the sound is coming rather low. Is there a
way to boost it?

PS: Why is anyway 255 the maximum and not 256?

Re: mixerctl output master beyond 255?
thanks... this is bad, because the sound is really vry low even at its maximum set up with mixerctl... this is happening with different files... I know the laptop (thinkpad x220) can do better, because it was doing so with linux... Sorry... I want to stick to obsd!

pf rules - please critic!
Dear all: What do you think of these rules? I use my laptop to mostly download things from the internet from a browser (movies!), but also big data with scp. I also upload data with it. Other than that, I am a regular user (some chatting, youtube and downloading of scientific papers): ext_if=iwn0 set block-policy return set loginterface $ext_if set skip on lo0 scrub in all block log all pass out all Also, I sometimes use the cable (em0) and sometimes wireless (iwn0). How could I set up the rules, such that they will be taken into account independently of the interface I am using? Any suggestions? Thanks!

xlock
Hi, I am using 5.9 with xfce and I have realised that when I am away from the laptop, xlock is launched. Then I am prompted twice for the password and one more time for slock, which I installed. I am using cat /etc/apm/suspend #!/bin/sh pkill -USR1 xidle And cat /home/pau/.xsession xmodmap -e "keycode 22 = BackSpace BackSpace BackSpace BackSpace BackSpace BackSpace" pkill xidle xidle -delay 5 -sw -program "/usr/local/bin/slock" -timeout 3600 & #xidle -delay 5 -sw -program "/usr/X11R6/bin/xlock -mode blank" -timeout 3600 & exec startxfce4 I have commented out xlock because I somehow prefer a bit more slock. But why is xlock launched and why two times? And why is slock launched as well? I prefer to lock the screen by myself.

Re: pf rules
thanks, Josh! Although with these rules I seem not to be able to send e-mails. For instance, gmail complains about not being able to do so, and it also says that I seem to have a very old browser, and should load a simplistic html version of gmail. When I disable pf with pfctl -d, the email is sent and gmail does not complain about anything. Maybe the block is also blocking sites from delivering cookies? 2016-06-25 15:39 GMT+02:00 Josh Grosse : > On Sat, Jun 25, 2016 at 09:28:16AM +0200, Pau Amaro-Seoane wrote: >> pf is disabled, yes... >> >> So, then I would have to remove the last line.

Re: pf rules
Dear Josh:
Apologies for being vague.
I mean that I have yours now:
$ cat /etc/pf.conf
block
pass from self to any
#a. Rule 1 blocks all traffic.
#b. Rule 2 passes all traffic originating on the laptop, going anywhere.
If I enable them with
$ pfctl -e
I can ping anything, but no browser will open anything
If I run
$ pfctl -d
pf disabled
Then of course everything works just fine.
Pau

ntfs kernel trap
Hello, I get a kernel trap when reading a 2TB mounted NTFS drive to copy over about 170G of backup data... on stable 6.0 with a thinkpad x220. Why is this causing a kernel fault trap? I have two backup drives on which I copied all of my data, previously hosted on a linux box. One is this and the other one is ext2. This drive is giving me this problem. The ext2 one has a different problem: I get "invalid argument" when I try to copy over the data. I think it might be related to weird names that some files have, unfortunately (not my choice, result of large collaborations), like files containing special characters or empty spaces. I thought a file manager would be smarter than rsync or cp (using "cp --" didn't help either btw). I need to copy those data on the internal drive of my laptop asap. Any idea?

eduroam dropping
Dear all:
I have noticed that the eduroam connection is dropping every few
minutes. I am in a conference room with about 20 people. All of them
are connecting via eduroam and seem to not be suffering these
connection drops. They're on macs, linux and I guess windows machines.
My wpa_supplicant configuration file looks like
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=wheel
ap_scan=0
network={
ssid="eduroam"
scan_ssid=1
key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
proto=WPA2
eap=PEAP
identity="pau"
password="my very own passwd"
anonymous_identity="anonym...@blabla.de"
ca_cert="/home/pau/fitx_confg/eduroam_openbsd/Deutsche_Telekom_Root_CA_2.crt"
phase1="peaplabel=0"
phase2="auth=MSCHAPV2"
priority=2
}
I launch it like
# ifconfig iwn0 -wpakey
# ifconfig iwn0 nwid eduroam wpa wpaakms 802.1x up
# wpa_supplicant -Bc
/home/pau/fitx_confg/eduroam_openbsd/eduroam_aei.conf -D openbsd -i
iwn0
# dhclient iwn0
It connects fine and looks perfect. I can surf, send e-mails etc.
After a few minutes I notice that it's dropped. The problem is that I
do not even know how to log the activity.
Do you see any problem here?
thanks,
Pau

cwm autogroupping with WM_NAME(STRING)
Dear all: Sorry for the spam of today. I have a second question. I am using cwm with autogroups but I wonder whether one could use WM_NAME(STRING) instead of WM_CLASS or, even better, WM_NAME along with WM_CLASS? That's because I like to have mutt on group1 but other xterms in other groups with strings labelled according to the project I am working on. If I only use WM_CLASS, then all xterms go into the same group, unless I CTRL+ALT+g them, one by one... thanks!

Re: pf rules
Hi Josh et al:
I have been trying to use tcpdump after applying these rules:
# cat /etc/pf.conf
match log
block
pass from self to any
and I get this:
# tcpdump -ni pflog0
tcpdump: WARNING: snaplen raised from 116 to 160
tcpdump: listening on pflog0, link-type PFLOG
^C
0 packets received by filter
0 packets dropped by kernel
With those pf.conf rules I am not able to do anything. All outgoing
traffic seems to be blocked.
Although I have added match log, I must admit that I do not know how
to look at the log...
Any idea?
thanks!

Re: random reboot?
Hi... memory seems to not be the problem. I'm on the 5th Memtest86+ pass after 8:30 hours and I have "Errors: 0".

thinkpad x1 carbon 4th generation
Hello: I just got one of these at work. I have installed a small partition with linux because I need to use skype for large collaborations and the rest of the hard drive is for openbsd, I have installed 6.1 I cannot post here my dmesg because I still could not run fw_update on it (there's only wireless here). The point is that sometimes, not always, after boot, when I am on the xdm screen (its newer alternative, forgot the name), the keyboard does not react properly and writes random characters, followed/combined with a beep. Its not a hw problem, because it works on linux well. My guess is that this can be related to the uefi? I will provide more details if required when I find a way to connect it to the internet. Has somebody else had this problem? Cheers, Pau ___ Openbsd-newbies mailing list Openbsd-newbies@sfobug.theapt.org http://mailman.theapt.org/listinfo/openbsd-newbies
