rTorrent and XML-RPC
Hello. I am ultimately trying to install rtgui 0.2.7, which is a frontend for the rtorrent bit torrent client. I'm running FreeBSD 7.1-RELEASE-p2, and I've installed apache22, mod_scgi, xmlrpc-c-devel, and rtorrent-devel from ports. rtorrent works great on the CLI as-is; I've been using it for downloading torrents for months with no problems. However, to make rtgui work, I have to get XML-RPC working within rtorrent first, and that's the entirety of my problem - this post isn't actually about rtgui at all. Instead, it's about a problem I'm having with XML-RPC, either in rtorrent itself, or in Apache or mod_scgi... I can't actually tell which. Here's what I've done so far: I've added this line to .rtorrent.rc: scgi_port = 127.0.0.1:5000 Now, when I start up rtorrent, it logs this information: (17:07:59) XMLRPC initialized with 517 functions. (17:07:59) The SCGI socket is bound to a specific network device yet may still pose a security risk, consider using 'scgi_local'. I assume that this means that XML-RPC is working properly with rtorrent, but I have no way to test this. I'm also running Apache 2.2, and I've added the following lines to httpd.conf: LoadModule scgi_module libexec/apache22/mod_scgi.so (...snip...) SCGIMount /RPC2 127.0.0.1:5000 However, when I restart apache, I get the following message in the error log, repeated once every few seconds: [Tue Nov 24 17:15:56 2009] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] File does not exist: /usr/local/www/htdoc/default/RPC2 I have tried to use the xmlrpc command line binary[0] to test Apache's XML-RPC connection to rtorrent[1], but it gives me an error message. m...@box cd /usr/ports/net/xmlrpc-c-devel/work/xmlrpc-c-1.18.00/tools/xmlrpc/ m...@box ./xmlrpc localhost system.listMethods Failed. Call failed. HTTP response code is 404, not 200. (XML-RPC fault code -504) And now I'm in over my head. Has anyone successfully installed rtorrent + xmlrpc support on FreeBSD before, and, if so, would you be willing to steer me in the right direction? I feel like I must be missing something simple (in large part because I could find nothing useful on Google when I searched for that Apache error message, of course replacing /usr/local/www/htdoc/default with an asterisk), but I've been banging my head against the wall for quite a while and I could use some help. Searching for the xmlrpc error message has also turned up nothing. One thing in particular I'm confused about is where it's actually broken. Is XML-RPC support working in rtorrent, but failing in Apache/mod_scgi? Or is it broken in rtorrent despite the messages that rtorrent is presenting, such that when Apache tries to connect to rtorrent via XML-RPC, it doesn't work through no fault of Apache's or mod_scgi's? If someone knows a way to test this, I'd also appreciate hearing it. Thanks very much. - Micah [0] I can't tell if I'm missing something or what, but the port for xmlrpc-c-devel doesn't seem to install the xmlrpc binary anywhere, even though it does build it, so I'm just calling it from the build directory. [1] This procedure is outlined on rtorrent's XML-RPC wiki page: http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/wiki/RTorrentXMLRPCGuide. In particular, the system.listMethods call is a valid function, per that page.___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
Problems with SSH and Subversion over SSH/HTTPS
Hello, all. I'm having a couple of problems that I can't get to the bottom of. I'm using a FreeBSD 7.1-RELEASE-p2 server running on AMD64, serving ssh and https, with various Mac OS X and Windows clients. I have recently come to wonder if these problems (described below) are related to SSL somehow, or perhaps /dev/random. If there's any tuning I could do along those lines, or if anyone has any other tips at all that could improve this situation, I'd very much love to hear them. 1) Paging through a lot of text over SSH is very slow. If I compile a large program, or cat a large text file, or even use less to page through 8-10 pages of text, ssh becomes very slow. Sometimes I can wait it out, and let it catch up after a half minute or so, but sometimes I just have to kill ssh and reconnect. This is notable to me because when I was running other operating systems on the same box (Solaris 10 and Linux, at various points in the past), which I could of course make my connection fail if I ran pathological tests, the difference was like night and day. Now, if I cat a file which turns out to be bigger than I expect, typing ^C several times - even if I do so just a couple of seconds after I start the cat - tends to cancel the cat only rarely... the buffer is so far behind that it can't process my input until it catches up, which it can't do and I have to end up killing the connection. This is much different than my experience with other operating systems. This happens when I'm using OpenSSH 5.1p1 on my Mac, and when I'm using any of several recent versions of PuTTY on the various Windows machines. Oddly, I can get decent speed when copying large files over sftp or scp - I haven't done any benchmarks, but it's in line with normal network speed for a 100mbps network. 2) SVN over both svn+ssh:// and https:// is also very slow The repository in question is only three revisions old, and the whole repo is less than 200K. All of the files are plain text. If I check this repo out, via either svn+ssh, or https, using the command line client installed on my Mac (which happens to be... Subversion 1.5.1), it takes two or three minutes over a perfectly fast Internet connection. If I use TortoiseSVN on a Windows machine, it takes so long that TSVN times out and says it can't complete the transaction. (Using a command-line SVN client on Windows seems to produce similar results to the command line client on my Mac). If I type in the https:// URL for the subversion repository in a web browser, and click on individual text files, it displays them much more slowly (taking several seconds for a file only a few KB large) than I would expect as well. I have tried this with Subversion version 1.5.1 and 1.6.0, compiled from ports, on the FreeBSD server, with no change. When this is happening, load remains at near 0.00 on the FreeBSD server. The network connection is plenty fast, as previously mentioned, and the behavior is the same whether I'm connecting over the Internet (the FreeBSD box has a 16mbps/2mbps link) or the 100mbps local LAN. For the record: I *have* compiled my own kernel, but its configuration differs only from the GENERIC kernel in my appending of the following options: options IPFIREWALL options IPDIVERT options GEOM_MIRROR If necessary, I can test with the GENERIC kernel again. I have not changed the kern.random parameters, but here they are for the sake of completeness. They are in line with the defaults, at least as far as i can tell from random(4). # sysctl kern.random kern.random.yarrow.gengateinterval: 10 kern.random.yarrow.bins: 10 kern.random.yarrow.fastthresh: 192 kern.random.yarrow.slowthresh: 256 kern.random.yarrow.slowoverthresh: 2 kern.random.sys.seeded: 1 kern.random.sys.harvest.ethernet: 1 kern.random.sys.harvest.point_to_point: 1 kern.random.sys.harvest.interrupt: 1 kern.random.sys.harvest.swi: 0 I very much thank anyone for any help they can provide. - Micah ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Re: Problem with built-in USB memory card reader
Alexander Pohoyda wrote: Lowell Gilbert writes: Alexander Pohoyda [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Everything works perfect if the system is started with a memory card inserted into the reader. The problem arises when the system is started without the memory card inserted. Since the reader is built-in (permanently attached to the motherboard), it is detected by the system at startup and no umass device is created. Inserting a memory card at some later time has no visible effect whatsoever. I'm using the 5.4 release. Is there a solution for this? USB handling would be better in a more recent release of FreeBSD, but I think you should be getting the basic da(4) device, just not the slices (which aren't there yet) if the medium isn't available at boot. Is that the case? [I haven't done this in a while, and don't have access to a card reader at the moment.] Yes, exactly. If no memory cards were inserted at the boot, only da(4) devices are created and inserting/removing memory cards afterwards has no visible effect. This behavior is well known also for external USB card readers, but those are easily detached/re-attached which triggers their re-scanning. I'm asking because Ms Windows somehow gets the insertion event and mounts the memory card automatically. So that is be possible. Does anybody know how that is done? There is a hack, but I can't quite remember it. I think it was true /dev/da0 to get devfs to reread the partitions and create the dev entires. I haven't been able to get to a reader to test it though. Test on a junk media card just in case I'm totally off base. - Micah ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Thanks in advance, Alexis ___ Alexis, Read through the porters' handbook, http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/. You are interested primarily in PREFIX and DESTDIR, but all of the text up to that point is enlightening. lane Hi Lane, I think you misunderstood my problem. I know how to install a port to a specific location using PREFIX. What I want to achieve is to have one port installed twice. For example, I want one whole instance of phpMyAdmin to be in /var/www/ and a whole other one in /home/someuser/. And I want both instances to be manageable with the package tools (such as portupgrade) in order to keep both updated easily. Or have I totally missed the point with PREFIX/DESTDIR ? Thanx! Alexis Well, a kludge, and maybe Lane was alluding to this, is to duplicate the phpMyAdmin port so you have two copies in your ports. You could then change the copy's Makefile so it has a different PORTNAME and a new install prefix. Of course you'd have to update your copy every time the original gets updated, but a script could probably handle that. Also portsnap will overwrite your copy, so maybe the script could recopy each time. I hope there's an easier way though. - Micah ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

fix the package database, such that it references the right ghostscript.

I personally don't have a need for floppy drives either; but I am setting up a dozen W/S to replace WINDOWZ in an office environment, and people expect to be able to use their floppies (especially with the GUI tools in KDE 3.5). I am hoping to use freebsd instead of Linux; which has become hard to maintain in long-term use because of things like libraries changing so often. The lack of Library-Hell in freebsd is refreshing. I guess floppy-hell is better than Library-hell :-) Floppy support is pretty bad on freebsd! I made the mistake of ejecting a mounted floppy yesterday; total system lock-up! I mean it was power off/on time! Not good! Bob One possible workaround is to use msdosfs instead of ufs. Seems to work fine for my regular user account. But I agree that floppy support sucks. Try accidentally mounting a write-protected floppy as rw. You get a flood of errors that cannot be cleared without a reboot.

Re: Cups USB workaround was working but now fails

Re: cups problems
David Johnson wrote: On Friday 04 August 2006 11:47, John Nielsen wrote: You have the permissions fixed, which was half the solution for me when I made the upgrade. The other half was to abandon cups' usb back-end for the time being, since it doesn't work (as well as it used to). The workaround suggested in an earlier thread on this subject was to stop cups and manually edit the printers.conf file (in /usr/local/etc/cups), replacing the usb: portion of the printer URI with file:. This worked for me and several others, although I remember posts that it did not work for some. It works! Thank you! There is one oddity though. The printer ready light flashes as normal, but then the attention light flashes. Pressing the go button then prints out the job. According to the printer manual, this means either manual feed or continuation error. I suspect that somehow manual feed is getting sent to the printer (even though it isn't set in cups printer options). A minor annoyance, but one I can live with. I've had this problem when using /dev/ulpt instead of /dev/unlpt. Might be worth a try if you haven't yet.

Disabling legacy support in the BIOS may help. Otherwise check your BIOS for other USB related settings and try changing those. Indeed, legacy support is enabled (actually auto was the setting in the BIOS). When I disable it, the keyboard and mouse cease functioning, as well. That was the only setting I could find in the BIOS related to USB. I suppose that means the on-board USB controller is one not supported by existing drivers? Or at least ones not listed in the GENERIC config on which I based my kernel (all I added was the ath drivers for my wireless)? I don't know which chipset it is, but my guess is, since the on-board video and LAN is an nVidia chipset, that the USB controller probably is, as well. Based on the error messages I think it's still worth trying some different settings. FeeeBSD seems to recognize the controller but it is unable to allocate the right resources to it. Check your BIOS for a PnP OS setting and toggle it. Also, try booting with ACPI disabled (or enabled) from the FreeBSD boot menu. IIRC, ACPI can have a hand in routing resources.

Next, double check your devfs.conf - in your email you said you removed permissions related to the floppy not the USB devices, maybe there's a conflict. Also, after a reboot but before doing a devfs start, unplug your USB device and then plug it back in - to see if devfs is working.

It did bomb once, about 4 hours into the compile, and demanded I do a kldload linprocfs, followed by a mount -t linprocfs linprocfs /compat/linux/proc, claiming it needed a proc fs to compile. I assume this was needed for the compile-time, and not for the run-time??? Anyway, java now works in all browsers. My next task here is to upgrade another workstation to freebsd. The woman I live with wants to dump her Linux, and have what I have as well :-) My question: I will be installing her machine mainly from pre-compiled packages, as it is not a dual-processor fast box like mine is. Java, and other packages are not available in pre-compiled form. Since I already compiled Java, is there a way to produce a binary-install on my machine, and install it on her machine? Simply tar up the dir perhaps? We have limited bandwidth (DSL) and so it would make sense to do a basic install for her over the net, and then do the rest of the install locally from stuff I compiled. Not everything, just BIG stuff like Java, KDE, Gnome the browsers TIA Bob There is a binary of Java at http://www.freebsd.org/java/, but I haven't tried it. Otherwise doing a 'make package' after the port has been installed will create a package for you. You should then be able to install the package on the other machine using pkg_add.

Re: usb storage device mounting problems

6.1-RELEASE Loader broken

Maybe some kind soul you trust will send you a copy of the 5.4 cat

My problem is not with the inability to get the data off, that doesn't seem to be a real issue. The problem is with the crashing of the computer. Why should _any_ data read from a removable disk of any kind be causing FreeBSD to crash by the mere act of attempting to read it from the disk? The device is reporting a failure, but why isn't the OS handling that failure gracefully? If I'm asking the wrong list, and should be asking [EMAIL PROTECTED] or some list related to multimedia, please let me know. Thanks to everyone who has contributed answers to this thread. (BTW, it is helpful if you keep me cc'd in your replies, since I'm not on the list itself and only see responses when I go check the archive.) To answer some of the questions that came up: 1. It never happens on any plain/normal/non-enhanced audio CD I've tried, which I'm quite sure might include some that are copy protected or have some kind of DRM in place. 2. None of them have said anything about being non-functional or limited with certain computer players or operating systems that I have noticed. If we can, I'd like to take this discussion in a slightly different direction. Let's change our thinking by making the following assumptions: A. It is not a DRM or copy protection scheme causing the errors. B. Since it happens on every enhanced CD (i.e. one containing audio tracks and a data track meant to be read on a computer) that I've been able to try, but not on any non-enhanced CDs, of which I've tested many hundreds, let's assume it is related to the fact that it is enhanced. By combining assumption A and assumption B, I'm led to the conclusion that there is something about Enhanced CDs that is causing FreeBSD to get unrecoverable errors that lead inevitably to a system crash. Namely, it generates READ_CD Hardware Error messages, followed by a series of READ_CD Illegal Request messages immediately prior to the crash. Does anyone have some ideas (other than copy protection or DRM) on why this might be happening or what might be done to solve the problem? Does anyone have some ideas of other places or lists where I might ask a similar question and be more likely to get closer to solving the problem? Thanks again, Mac -- Mac NewboldMNE - Mac Newbold Enterprises, LLC [EMAIL PROTECTED]http://www.macnewbold.com/ I can confirm that enhanced CDs do not rip properly on FreeBSD 6.1 with cdparanoia -B. cdparanoia reports a bunch of V's (Uncorrected error/skip) and my messages log is FILLED (74MB) with thousands of the following errors: Jun 16 12:00:00 trisha kernel: acd0: FAILURE - READ_CD ILLEGAL REQUEST asc=0x64 ascq=0x00 acd0: FAILURE - READ_CD ILLEGAL REQUEST asc=0x64 ascq=0x00 acd0: FAILURE - READ_CD ILLEGAL REQUEST asc=0x64 ascq=0x00 acd0: FAILURE - READ_CD ILLEGAL REQUEST asc=0x64 ascq=0x00 acd0: FAILURE - READ_CD ILLEGAL REQUEST asc=0x64 ascq=0x00 acd0: FAILURE - READ_CD ILLEGAL REQUEST asc=0x64 ascq=0x00 acd0: FAILURE - READ_CD ILLEGAL REQUEST asc=0x64 ascq=0x00 acd0: FAILURE - READ_CD ILLEGAL REQUEST asc=0x64 ascq=0x00 acd0: FAILURE - READ_CD ILLEGAL REQUEST asc=0x64 ascq=0x00 acd0: FAILURE - READ_CD ILLEGAL REQUEST asc=0x64 ascq=0x00 acd0: FAILURE - READ_CD ILLEGAL REQUEST asc=0x64 ascq=0x00 acd0: FAILURE - READ_CD ILLEGAL REQUEST asc=0x64 ascq=0x00 acd0: FAILURE - READ_CD ILLEGAL REQUEST asc=0x64 ascq=0x00 acd0: FAILURE - READ_CD ILLEGAL REQUEST asc=0x64 ascq=0x00 acd0: FAILURE - READ_CD ILLEGAL REQUEST asc=0x64 ascq=0x00 acd0: FAILURE - READ_CD ILLEGAL REQUEST asc=0x64 ascq=0x00 acd0: FAILURE - READ_CD ILLEGAL REQUEST asc=0x64 ascq=0x00 acd0: FAILURE That's just one of nearly 88,000 similar lines from messages.

Other possible problems are faulty or too small power supply; too much heat on CPU, RAM, or expansion boards; faulty expansion cards and/or components; or faulty hard drive. I kinda wondered if heat might be an issue, since it was kind of tucked away in a spot with bad airflow. I'll try the memtest thing. Is there a way to get the CPU temp in FreeBSD? As mentioned, mbmon might work, but don't think that CPU is the only generator of heat. I had random reboots due to an overheating graphics card once.

Is there an area of ports for Linux software, specifically Rosegarden or something that will do audio recording, midi sequencing, audio/midi sync, and has a good score editor that will print sheet music? You can check here http://www.freebsd.org/ports/ on ports you are looking, Your Rosegarden is listed. Sean Note that the Rosegarden project refers to the 2.1 series that's in our ports as antique. The latest Rosegarden requires ALSA to work. To the OP, MIDI support on FreeBSD is non-existent aside from some kernel patches that turn up every now and then.

Yes, indeed. I was thinking about doing a similar workaround, but surely there must be a better way of doing this. We need a way for mount to automatically probe the device for filesystems first before attempting to mount the slice. Anyone got any suggestions? Just out of interest, during bootup, what command is executed to probe the devices? If I put a memory card in my reader before booting the system up, the filesystem slices on the card are detected, the device node[s] are created and I can mount it straight away. This is the command I want, rather than having to run a mount command that we know will fail just to create the nodes. Aren. I've not been following this thread too closely, but I think I've had the same problem in the past. I currently get around it by not leaving my media readers plugged in (they're both external USB readers). I insert my media card then plug in the reader and have no problems. I *think* true /dev/da1 will get devfs to show the slices, but I can't find my old post that has that little bit of info in it. I always thought the device should trigger and event when media was inserted, and that the event should trigger devfs to show the slices Hope that provides insight, Micah ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Install, run as root first, then run as user. I never had to do that in FreeBSD. I'll try it as soon as I get back. - Micah ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: hosts.allow ?
Jerry McAllister wrote: At Sun, 19 Mar 2006 it looks like Jerry McAllister composed: One doesn't start anything from the rc.conf file - at least properly. Those things get started from /usr/local/etc/rc.d. What goes in /etc/rc.conf are environmental variable settings that those rc.d scripts look at to determine what to do. I was under the impression that when one 'restarts' that the service will re-read /etc/rc.conf I am not sure just at what point the rc.conf is read or re-read. Try putting something in the /usr/local/etc/rc.d/.sh script to check for a specific environmental variable that you make up and put in /etc/rc.conf and then running the .sh script manually to see what it knows about - even just put a printenv in the script. jerry From the source it's clear that rc.conf is read when the individual rc script executes a load_rc_config $name (or equivalent).

A person from the FreeBSD KDE project posted here: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.os.freebsd.devel.ports/56219 for use with the portupgrade system, and the same thread: http://freebsd.kde.org/pipermail/kde-freebsd/2006-February/012137.html has something to be spliced in to pkgtools.conf. I put it in, but no joy. Is there some way to do this without having to download and install the very, very large ports version? And even if I download it, will it install? Thanks, Oliver Gamin and Fam are interchangeable in that they do the same thing. Gamin is supposed to be the next generation replacement for fam, but some have said that gamin is not yet ready for production You should set WITH_FAM_SYSTEM= either gamin or fam in your make.conf depending on which you decide to permanently use. If you decide to switch to gamin, pkg_delete fam, then install gamin. Run pkgdb -F to change the dependency from fam to gamin on all the ports you listed above. Or just rebuild all the ports that you listed above. Or if you decide to stick with fam, see if you can force the install of the openoffice package despite the gamin dependency. Then run pkgdb -F and point openoffice's gamin dependency to fam.

Panic with USB drive - bug or fixed?
I'm running 6.0-release p4, and this wasn't a problem in 5.4-release. I'm curious if this has been fixed in 6.1 or current or if I should file a problem report. I have a USB SD card reader. When I plug it in (with SD card inserted) FreeBSD detects it fine. Sometimes, however, it thinks the device is write protected and after displaying a couple of errors the kernel panics with a page fault. Keep in mind I have NOT tried to mount the device yet, I just plugged it in. The device worked flawlessly on 5.4 and has worked a couple of times on 6.0 release before. It also works fine on my XP laptop.

The former, as I can say with ample experience this morning. (stupid USB panic) HTH, Micah I find both ways useless. If fsck background starts after a crash it literally slows down the machine to a halt rendering it unusable. If enable fsck to check the system prior to mounting device, it will take at least 15-30 minutes for it to complete (in the event of a hard crash). Which also translates to a downtime. disabling fsck on the long run is a bad choice too as eventually the system files will become corrupt beyond repair. What is the solution here ? Thx, Tamouh If you can't acceptably absorb a 30 minute down time, then why are you running without backup power? - Micah ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
