Audio CD issue -- most everything but noise
I'm having trouble getting an audio cd to make any (pleasant) noise (9.0 release). The cd mounts a regular file system ok and audio generally works ok -- playing from a file works. >cdcontrol eject (works) >cdcontrol info (displays reasonable TOC) >cdcontrol play (returns to prompt but I hear nothing) >cdcontrol status Audio status = 17, current track = 2, current position = 0:25.43 No media catalog info available Left volume = 255, right volume = 255 Successive status requests look like it is progressing through the CD just fine. Specifying an argument to play fails: >cdcontrol play 1 cdcontrol: Invalid argument >cdcontrol debug on cdcontrol: Inappropriate ioctl for device and the -v argument produces no verbose output. The CD does not have any direct to mobo audio wire, only the ATA cable. I'm assuming fbsd gets the audio down the ata cable, correct? If I do >cdcontrol pause >cdcontrol status I hear the CD spin up, and it stays spinning for a while. If I wait for it to spin down and then do >cdcontrol resume cdcontrol: Input/output error >cdcontrol play I never hear the device spin up. >cdcontrol pause >cdcontrol resume >cdcontrol status Gives no error message, nor does the device spin up after the resume. The status does show it playing, however. Thanks for any helpful hints, I'm totally confused.

VT-d not working for FreeBSD 9.0 guest with IXGBE
Hi, I have an issue with enabling VT-d with freebsd guest and was wondering of anyone out there are experiencing the similar issues. I am using the following setup HOST: Centos 6.2 Hypervisor: KVM Hardware: ixgbe 82599EB (10 GB nic) Guest: freebsd 9.0 Guest Driver version 2.4.4 When I use MSI/MSIX the link status is shown as "no carrier". When I disable MSI and MSIX in the guest so that it can fall back on INTx, I see that the link becomes active. However not packets are sent or received. When pinged from outside, sysctl shows dev.ix.0.queue0.txd_head: 0 dev.ix.0.queue0.rxd_head: 0 dev.ix.0.queue0.rxd_tail: 2047 dev.ix.0.queue0.rx_packets: 0 dev.ix.0.mac_stats.good_octets_rcvd: 320 dev.ix.0.mac_stats.good_pkts_rcvd: 5 When pinged from inside, sysctl shows dev.ix.0.queue0.txd_head: 0 dev.ix.0.queue0.rxd_head: 0 dev.ix.0.queue0.txd_tail: 4 dev.ix.0.queue0.rxd_tail: 2047 dev.ix.0.queue0.tx_packets: 4 dev.ix.0.queue0.rx_packets: 0 dev.ix.0.mac_stats.good_octets_rcvd: 320 dev.ix.0.mac_stats.good_pkts_rcvd: 5 dev.ix.0.mac_stats.good_octets_txd: 0 dev.ix.0.mac_stats.good_pkts_txd: 0 I guess, hardware is getting the packets but not put in the ringbuffer. If I install freebsd 9.0 on bare metel and have the same hardware and same driver running, the link comes up and packets are transferred. Therefore, in case of VT-d (PCI passthrough) the driver is not setting up things correctly. Another data point is, if Centos guests is used instead of freebsd guest, the hardware comes up correctly and can send/receive packets. The freebsd driver that I am using is the one posted on the intel's website. http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&ProdId=3189&DwnldID=14688&ProductFamily=Ethernet+Components&ProductLine=Ethernet+Controllers&ProductProduct=Intel%C2%AE+82599+10+Gigabit+Ethernet+Controller&DownloadType=Drivers&OSFullname=FreeBSD*eng ___ 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"

Also, one can do things like allow mail access (POP, IMAP, 'whatever') only via a port that is 'tunneled' through an SSH/SSL connection. This eliminates almost all doorknob rattling on the mail access ports, but gets lots of attempts on the SSH port. Which is generally not a problem, since the SSH keyspace is vastly larger, and more evenly distributed, than that for plaintext passwords. To eliminate virtually all the 'noise' from SSH doorknob-rattling, run it on a non-standard port. This does =not= increase the actual security of the system, but it does greatly reduce the 'noise' in the logs -- so any actual attack attempt is much more obvious. ___ 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"

If you tell vim that it's "linux" when it is really cons25, that confuses it. A "linux" console recognizes an particular escape sequence ending with "25h" for making the cursor visible (ending with "25l" for invisible). vim likes to use that. cons25 doesn't support it. As noted in vim's manpage, the -T option should be used only if the automatic way (setting $TERM correctly) doesn't work. -- Thomas E.

Re: Firewall, blocking POP3
See /usr/ports/security/py-fail2ban (http://www.fail2ban.org/). Used in conjunction with FreeBSD's ipfw or pf firewall facility, you can ban an attacking IP address for a set period of time after a configurable amount of failed attempts. Fail2ban watches your log files for you and then triggers some sort of action -- which can really be anything you can conceive of.

Indeed. Considering the number of lists and the number of subscribers, I think mailman (and spamassassin recipes) do a great job, though it's always going to be a battle chasing the latest spammer techniques; the recent spamruns with multiple 'From:' addresses being a case in point, not a pretty look seeing spam 'apparently' by FreeBSD committers .. > > Mailman has an adaptive system that scores you based on how many rejects > > you generate in a certain time period.

I hadn't checked for ages, but see my score is now 1.0, probably from a couple of days downtime last month ie delayed delivery.

Bit strange asking you to provide copies of messages you didn't get :) Are they providing your inbound MX server, ie is that where your mail is received? I gather you're not running your own mailserver. It should not be hard to find any such bounces from/to mx2.freebsd.org in their mail or spam logs, if it was they who bounced them?

I rather suspect that even if each bounce is logged at freebsd.org (and it might be some task to find yours, beyond that they've been counted), that it could be non-trivial to locate the offending source messages. Not impossible, Message-IDs are likely logged, but last-resort stuff.

Firewall, blocking POP3
Hello all. I am sorry if the question is too basic. I have a personal small machine running FreeBSD 7.3-PRERELEASE #0: It runs as my web and email server for a cuple of domains. NO clients no other users have access to it. Is there any , easy/faster way to stop POP3 from being working. I am running qpopper to be able to download emailes. I decided to use sendmail since only a few accounts are there and I do not need more but in the last days the server has been under a big attack where people is trying to guess users and passwords. I am using a strong schema of passwords so no problem on that but I rather to be sure . I was thinking on the following options. - Stopping the service, port 110 to respond and open it everytime I want to download email. - Install a firewall and block all the IP's but they are trying from a lot different ones. - Maybe changing the port for pop3 and change all my devices to use another port? In case I need to start from zero and install a newer version I can do it, no problem at all but I am not sure if that helps to do things a easier way. Maybe install a complete different schema of sending receiving email (perhaps do not use sendmail to send , change to postfix and use IMAP instead of pop3. Would that help? Thank in advance for all your comments and help.

Did you update to databases/mysql55-client before trying this? mysqlXX-server depends on mysqlXX-client for the libmysql shared library and related header files. Generally to switch from mysql 5.4 to mysql 5.5 you'ld do something like this: 0) Backups, fasting, ritual cleansing, sacrifice of black cockerel, you know the drill. 1) Stop MySQL -- plus any web servers or whatever that access mysql. # /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server stop # ... 2) If there is any mention of MYSQL related variables in /etc/make.conf, particularly those referring to version numbers, comment them out. 3) Upgrade mysql-client: # portmaster -o databases/mysql55-client 'mysql-client-5.4.*' 4) Upgrade mysql-server: # portmaster -o databases/mysql55-server 'mysql-server-5.4.*' 5) If you've got them installed, upgrade mysql-scripts: # portmaster -o databases/mysql55-scripts 'mysql-scripts-5.4.*' 6) Upgrade anything that links against libmysql.so -- you can use sysutils/bsdadminscripts which contains a handy script to tell you what applications on your system are affected. Or, for the lazy and those with excess spare time: # portmaster -r databases/mysql55-client (but this will do far more work than necessary) 7) Restart mysql and run the supplied program to update schemas etc. # /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server start # mysql_upgrade 8) Restart any applications that use mysql. 9) Test.

Corrections to: unable to upgrade to mysql55-server
Running 8.1 amd64. Ports are up to date (via portsnap). I've been trying to install the port databases/mysql55-server, updating from the older 5.4 version. mysql55-client installed just fine. However, when I "make" the '-server' port I get the errors shown in the first listing below. So I tried "portmanager databases/mysql55-server -l -u" (latest version of portmanager - 0.4.1_9). Attempts to update produce multiple looping errors as in the second listing below. I've found references to this error, but the latest version of portmanager (I thought) was supposed to fix this (or did it just eliminate infinite loops?). Note that I have attempted to compile some of the "looping" ports individually and they compile and install with no problems. Does anyone have an idea what might be going on here?

If you had looked a little earlier in the output, you would have gotten
a bit more of a clue from the compiler.

Yes. Chromium currently depends on SSE3; the recommended way of enabling
that appears to be setting CPUTYPE.
I'm not sure what the implications are for build machines whose output
might be used on a variety of hardware...

Spammers were also masquerading as me & others recently, I saw the

Happily the spam never got to the (other freebsd) list.

Until [at least] recently questions@ was not a members-only list
I know as I asked for it be to changed to that, but was declined,
http://www.berklix.com/~jhs/src/bsd/fixes/FreeBSD/src/gen/etc/motd.REL=8.2-RELEASE.diff
I suspect questions@ is still not members-only,
I guess it's just common text or file copied & a message common
to both { bounces from members-only lists, And cases where eg on
questions@, a failing header check detects something dodgy, eg does
not match sender & user asserted From: line }.

mailman might be misconfigured, (or mis-designed?)

Still, it's a message not too far off, telling you list owners will look at it.

The address looks good, this page
http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/admin/freebsd-questions
also lists that address, (in firefox put mouse over word "moderators" & see
at bottom left of firefox (or see source of course :-) )
freebsd-questions-ow...@freebsd.org

Probably not, It might possibly also exist on @freebsd.org as an alias.
Per
http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo
http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-test
has a URL to
freebsd-test-ow...@freebsd.org
You could try
owner-freebsd-t...@freebsd.org
BTW /usr/ports/mail/majordomo/files/aliases.majordomo reccomends
an /etc/mail/aliases:
owner-majordomo: majordomo-owner
(additional to the real:
majordomo-owner: human-or-Postmaster
)
which suggests
xxx-owner is preferred (at least by majordomo author,
which chronologicaly preceeded mailman), not owner-xxx.
Cheers,
Julian

Re: mercurial (hg) transaction abort!
Did you try to hg clone -U and than update? Mozilla repo is quite big, and that _might_ be the reason, splitting the work in 2 parts will help if that was the cause.

That may be what I need. I would be building ports. For running ports, source code wouldn't come into play.

Wine-fbsd64 updated to 1.5.5 (32bit Wine for 64bit FreeBSD)
Hi, Packages [1] for wine-fbsd64-1.5.5 have been uploaded to mediafire [2]. The packages for FreeBSD 10 use the pkgng* [3] format. There are many reports that wine does not work with a clang compiled world (help in fixing this problem is appreciated as it affects quite a few users). The patch [4] for nVidia users is now included in the package and is run on installation (if the relevant files are accessible). Please read the installation messages for further information. Regards, David [1] MD5 (wine-1.5.x-freebsd8/wine-fbsd64-1.5.5,1.tbz) = 2f4b826306dfe7feed396a4752df87ca MD5 (wine-1.5.x-freebsd9/wine-fbsd64-1.5.5,1.txz) = ff8ef2a3678ae1c6f28bb376f9996c06 MD5 (wine-1.5.x-freebsd10/wine-fbsd64-1.5.5,1.txz) = e53ed61cc5ce5d046f8ae31363b8ef2d [2] http://www.mediafire.com/wine_fbsd64 [3] http://wiki.freebsd.org/pkgng [4] The patch is located at /usr/local/share/wine/patch-nvidia.sh [*] The pkgng packages are now labelled for FreeBSD 64bit by default signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

I contacted my Internet service provider, Insight Cable, about the problem, and they need a copy of any message that bounces, so they can see what went awry. So I can't just ignore the problem.

Address to reach human operator regarding problems with list?
When a list member has problems with the list that require contacting a human list owner/operator, what is the address to send to? I received a probe message regarding messages to me that bounced, might have been spams that slipped by the list's filters. I was advised in the message that the address was freebsd-questions-ow...@freebsd.org, and I sent my message to that address, got back a message from owner-moderat...@freebsd.org with the subject Your message to moderators awaits moderator approval Quoting the message, Your mail to 'moderators' with the subject Re: freebsd-questions mailing list probe message Is being held until the list moderator can review it for approval. The reason it is being held: Post by non-member to a members-only list Either the message will get posted to the list, or you will receive notification of the moderator's decision. If you would like to cancel this posting, please visit the following URL: http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/confirm/moderators/693387bfce42bd3639754d5b2b906e4ad6ce4bcf PLEASE NOTE!
