Keep the mkmf source -- seems that is has been removed
from the ports tree.

Port:   mkmf-4.11
Path:   /usr/ports/devel/mkmf
Info:   Creates program and library makefiles for the make(1) command
Maint:  po...@freebsd.org
Moved:  
Date:   2011-08-01
Reason: Has expired: Looks like an abandonware, no more public distfile

Planned obsolescence in action? :-)

Re: Problem with dbus in boot

It seems that the installation of dbus wasn't successful.
It should've added thr required settings to the system's 
user database.

Check those:

% grep bus /etc/passwd /etc/group 
/etc/passwd:messagebus:*:556:556:D-BUS Daemon 
User:/nonexistent:/usr/sbin/nologin
/etc/group:messagebus:*:556:

This is from a system having installed dbus-1.4.6, but
_not_ running it (as I don't have any need for it).

Maybe you can repeat the installation of dbus (from
ports or packages) and make sure the data is added
to the files mentioned above, and the corresponding
databases have been rebuilt?

Obviously you are missing those required settings, so
/etc/rc cannot start dbus - to be expected.

I just wanted to let you know that both videos you've
mentioned in your initial post do play here. I have
OS 8.2-STABLE of August 2011, x86 version, and I'm
using those installed packages:

opera-11.50
opera-linuxplugins-11.50
linux-f10-flashplugin-10.3r183.5
nspluginwrapper-1.4.4
swfdec-plugin-0.8.2_3

Then I did exactly follow the text of the handbook. It
doesn't work in Firefox here (as due to some obscure GPU
fault, running FF freezes the machine), but it works
totally fine in Opera, as expected.

Did you  read about xorg in handbook?, did you  read the message when
slim finished the installation?, check the file rc.conf, add
slim_enable="YES", hald_enable="YES", dbus_enable="YES", also you

Anything like mkmf for foo linux?

2011-11-02 Thread Gary Kline

i asked the seattle linux group and the mkmf they have on/for ubuntu
was "fine."  not by me.

i started to port our mkmf which is non-trivial at best.  so:: are
there any other kinds of makefile creators in ports that i can use
on my FBSD server AND SEE IF UBUNTU HAS A SIMILAR PACKAGE?

fwiw,i HAVE PORTED A FEW THINGS ACROSS.  dunno what id do w/out the

RE: nfs client speed lower than expected.

other than nfs?

Subject: nfs client speed lower than expected.

Hi all,
What kind of speed should I be expecting over an NFS mount from
a linux box using a gig interface (igb)? I'm seeing linux clients
getting approx 2 or 3 times the throughput rsyncing files from a linux
nfs server that i get from a 8-stable FreeBSD client.
representative results
7.26MB/s - Freebsd client
21.10MB/s liunx client
I've tried a variety of files to try and take caching out of the
equation, I've tweaked a few sysctls after much googling

kern.ipc.maxsockbuf=400
net.inet.tcp.sendbuf_max=16777216
net.inet.tcp.recvbuf_max=16777216
net.inet.tcp.sendbuf_inc=16384
net.inet.tcp.recvbuf_inc=524288
net.inet.udp.recvspace=65535
net.local.stream.recvspace=65535
net.local.stream.sendspace=65535

with no obvious improvement.
freebsd mount options
ro,noatime,noexec,nosuid,udp,nfsv3,rsize=1024,wsize=1024,bg,hard,intr,timeout=4,retrans=4
linux mount options
_netdev,ro,noatime,nodev,noexec,nosuid,proto=udp,vers=3,rsize=1k,wsize=1k,bg,hard,intr,timeo=4,retrans=4

I have seen that using the linux server as an nfs client to write to the
NFS server on the freebsd box gives similar performance to a linux
client pulling from the linux server so I'm guessing its something to do
with the freebsd nfs client?

Any suggestions/clues welcome.

If postmas...@freebsd.org has time to answer a request from you,
he might be able to tell you if mail to your subscribed address

Remember to declare if eg you might be receiving Elsewhere@

of @hdk5.net for outgoing, in that case the Elsewhere might
have falsely black listed @freebsd.org (or a downstream

accidentaly &/or maliciously get listed as spam domains)

Since this works just fine for all those who have learned how to use FreeBSD 
I can only assume this indicates you do not know what you are doing.

> PS: I use FreeBSD 9.0 RC1, and I try to follow current

This is a poor choice for anyone new to FreeBSD. There are mainly 3 branches 
of FreeBSD to consider: -CURRENT is for developers and other contributors 
working on the next version of FreeBSD, -STABLE is somewhat in the middle in 
that it will have patches for problems that have been fixed in current and 
merged back to earlier release versions of code, and RELEASE. There is also 
a SECURITY branch where only security patches are updated to RELEASE.

Since it is obvious you do not know what you are doing the best place for 
you to begin is RELEASE. Install and begin using a RELEASE version as a 
learning tool. This means version 8.2! The Handbook may have pieces which 
are old and could stand updating, but largely it is _THE_ reference you 
should be working your way through as you proceed to learn FreeBSD. The 
greatest bulk of what you need to learn is in there. It comes in versions 
other than English too:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/es_ES.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/index.html

If your only exposure to date with computers has been with Windows and you 
are looking to expand your reach, you will first find that the *Nix world is 
heavy on reading documentation and trying to figure stuff out for yourself 
first, before splattering help channels with every little thing that comes 
along. Once you have made some intial effort you will find that you are in a 
better position to provide better details on how we can help you. We cannot 
help you with the effort you need to make in learning the basics, and these 
basics are all contained in the documentation. 

I will make no effort to address your error. First of all, you should not be 
starting in FreeBSD with a release candidate and following -CURRENT. Your 
error is the result of trying to jump over learning what you need to know.

-Mike

Well we can then say there is something in your home directory preventing

know.

In regards to the second, I just tried it on a new clean install of 9 RC 1

Re: DNS config help

2011-11-02 Thread Michael Sierchio
It depends...

some VPNs push routes, including default routes, and nameservers and
search paths, but it's up to the client on how to handle it.  Some of
these will set /etc/resolv.conf, etc.

What *kind* of VPN are you talking about?  OpenVPN?  PPTP?  L2TP?

I generally prefer dnscache to BIND, and the mechanism for selective
resolution is straightforward.

Some large companies, HP included, just publish internal
(non-routable) addresses for hosts on their public servers, which
solves the remote access DNS problem.

I can confirm Flash does cause the lock up, but I'm running flash 10, not 11.

configure BIND to forward queries to a different server only for a

When I am connected to the VPN, vpn.example.com, I want queries for

It comes from the rest of the instructions section, namely "nspluginwrapper
-v -a -i".

So does this mean that instructions in handbook are wrong?

When it's followed in it's entirety, it works.

As your new user, execute "nspluginwrapper -l".  If you don't get output
similar to this:

> nspluginwrapper -l
/home/adam/.mozilla/plugins/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so
  Original plugin:
/usr/local/lib/npapi/linux-f10-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so
  Plugin viewer: /usr/local/lib/nspluginwrapper/i386/linux/npviewer
  Wrapper version string: 1.4.4-1

then you have not followed the instructions completely.

When I create the new user, flash in FF doesn't work at all. 
Instructions from 
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/desktop-browsers.html (*Under 
FreeBSD 8.X*) are followed.
symlink /usr/local/lib/browser_plugins/libflashplayer.so -> 
/usr/local/lib/npapi/linux-f10-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so exists.

Also packages
nspluginwrapper-1.4.4
linux-f10-flashplugin-11.0r1.152
are installed.

The reason why flash works in my main user is that 
~/.mozilla/plugins/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so file exists there.


I am not sure what this file 
~/.mozilla/plugins/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so is and where did it come 
from.

Nope. Make buildworld is how you begin a source-based upgrade to the 
operating system. This is completely different and separate from anything 
package related. You are completely on the wrong track with this. Study the 
Handbook some more and this may become apparent.

When you refresh your ports tree (which handles dependency tracking whether 
you are installing from ports or using packages) you will always be looking 
at the latest ports/packages. This is true no matter which branch of the OS 
you are using. Install RELEASE, refresh your ports tree, and you will still 
have all the 'most current packages'. You do *NOT* need to be running -
CURRENT in order to have the 'most current packages'!

This still reiterates the need for you to read and study the documentation. 
All of this information is present in the documentation.

Since this works just fine for all those who have learned how to use FreeBSD 
I can only assume this indicates you do not know what you are doing.
 
> PS: I use FreeBSD 9.0 RC1, and I try to follow current

This is a poor choice for anyone new to FreeBSD. There are mainly 3 branches 
of FreeBSD to consider: -CURRENT is for developers and other contributors 
working on the next version of FreeBSD, -STABLE is somewhat in the middle in 
that it will have patches for problems that have been fixed in current and 
merged back to earlier release versions of code, and RELEASE. There is also 
a SECURITY branch where only security patches are updated to RELEASE.

Since it is obvious you do not know what you are doing the best place for 
you to begin is RELEASE. Install and begin using a RELEASE version as a 
learning tool. This means version 8.2! The Handbook may have pieces which 
are old and could stand updating, but largely it is _THE_ reference you 
should be working your way through as you proceed to learn FreeBSD. The 
greatest bulk of what you need to learn is in there. It comes in versions 
other than English too:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/es_ES.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/index.html

If your only exposure to date with computers has been with Windows and you 
are looking to expand your reach, you will first find that the *Nix world is 
heavy on reading documentation and trying to figure stuff out for yourself 
first, before splattering help channels with every little thing that comes 
along. Once you have made some intial effort you will find that you are in a 
better position to provide better details on how we can help you. We cannot 
help you with the effort you need to make in learning the basics, and these 
basics are all contained in the documentation. 

I will make no effort to address your error. First of all, you should not be 
starting in FreeBSD with a release candidate and following -CURRENT. Your 
error is the result of trying to jump over learning what you need to know.

What user/permissions did you have?

I think you need to be root and in /usr/src

Can you try creating a new user, and under that user install flash per the

Have you tried:

  $ sysctl -a | grep temperature
  dev.cpu.0.temperature: 29.2C
  dev.cpu.1.temperature: 29.2C

for your system?
I have an AMD cpu and the amdtemp kernel module provides that
information.  I am not familiar with the Intel cpus, but the coretemp
module is supposed to provide the same information for them.  I use
gkrellm for various thing, and it will display that information
directly.

You have already receive a reply on-list, which asked if you had

I haven't followed further so I'm not sure if you ever replied to it or not.

Suggestions:

Use them to seed a new BSD user group in your area:
Location, your favourite bar/ cafe. 

Or find a nearby similar user group. find a nearby member & drop
them all off with member to take to give away at next monthly meeting
of which ever club.

I actually own several of those books including my favorite door stop,
"Sendmail". In any case, why don't you try contributing then to a
library or perhaps a local school? You could conceivably get some sort
of tax write off for your efforts too.

They don't work here either. I have heard although never gotten any
confirmation that the problem exists with the FreeBSD amd64
architecture.

Maybe you could organize a test base of both 32 and 64 bit users and
see what results they achieve. You are not likely to get any real
assistance otherwise. I first reported this over a year ago.

I just noticed, looking back at your previous mail, that you don't seem
to have a "device smbios" line in your kernel config.  Try adding that
and see if the smbios facility shows up at boot time.  I don't really
understand the inner workings of this particular feature.  On my box, I
so see an indication in the boot time messages:

smbios0:  at iomem 0xfcd20-0xfcd3e on
motherboard
smbios0: Version: 2.5

Although no "smbios0" device actually shows up under /dev.  Perhaps
some more knowledgeable individual might enlighten us as to what
capabilities having this in your kernel config actually enables.

Also, just looking at the (x)mbmon port, the COMMENT line in the
Makefile states:

A X motherboard monitor for LM78/79, W8378x, AS99127F, VT82C686 and
ADM9240

So, this port appears to be useful only on a very specific range of
motherboards.

Well, it depends.  :-)

I'm not at all familiar with your particular processor/motherboard, so I
can only offer some rather limited advice that may steer you in the
right direction for further exploration.  There are a number of devices
you can enable in your kernel config that may provide some of what
you're looking for.

Here, on my amd64 box, for instance, "device amdtemp", along with
"device cpuctl" and "device cpufreq" makes the following dev.cpu.*
sysctls available, which are one way to (manually) monitor your
system.  As you can see below, this provides information on CPU
temperature and frequency.

# sysctl dev.cpu
dev.cpu.0.%desc: ACPI CPU
dev.cpu.0.%driver: cpu
dev.cpu.0.%location: handle=\_PR_.P001
dev.cpu.0.%pnpinfo: _HID=none _UID=0

dev.cpu.0.temperature: 47.0C
dev.cpu.0.freq: 2200
dev.cpu.0.freq_levels: 2200/23500 1100/14280
dev.cpu.0.cx_supported: C1/0
dev.cpu.0.cx_lowest: C1
dev.cpu.0.cx_usage: 100.00% last 1931us
dev.cpu.1.%desc: ACPI CPU
dev.cpu.1.%driver: cpu
dev.cpu.1.%location: handle=\_PR_.P002
dev.cpu.1.%pnpinfo: _HID=none _UID=0
dev.cpu.1.%parent: acpi0
dev.cpu.1.temperature: 47.0C

I've never really delved that deeply into any hardware monitoring
tools, to be honest.  You're kind of getting into an area where I am
admittedly no expert.  :-)   But I'd suggest looking very carefully at
both /sys/conf/NOTES and /sys/$ARCH/conf/NOTES (as well as the GENERIC
kernel config) for some possible clues.  Refer to the man pages for any
specific devices of potential interest to see exactly what they're
about, and possibly ask some more questions here as you start to narrow
down the items that my possibly be useful to you.

Seriously, people here don't mind questions being asked, if they're
even semi-intelligent ones.  We're a friendly bunch, for the most
part.  :-)

Perhaps someone may offer you some more useful information on how to
monitor and/or control other aspects of your specific hardware
configuration besides CPU temperature and frequency.

Hope this helps in some small way.  Good luck!  :-)

Do you find that including "device smbios" makes any perceptible

I don't have a smb device in dmesg listed. But I have
those in the kernel configuration:

# System management bus
device  smbus
device  iicbus
device  iicsmb
device  iicbb
device  iic

So I can read temperature values using xmbmon. With
the mbmon program, it should work similarly. OS is
8.2-STABLE on x86 here.

Does it means that it is no way to read temperature sensors on motherboard?
