RE: Does FreeBSD 6.0 fully support PCI-Express?
-Original Message- From: Micah [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, November 24, 2005 8:11 AM To: Ted Mittelstaedt Cc: Hans Nieser; freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Does FreeBSD 6.0 fully support PCI-Express? Micah, if this has changed, please cite where. I myself also happen to have a system with an onboard nvidia card so I really am interested, not just trying to flame-bait. I think I understand your claim. Source code with an open source license is not Open Source unless it is actively maintained by someone and has freely available specs. No, not exactly. This is a special case with device drivers. A simple standalone program that does not interface with hardware, if it's source is open with an open source license, it's open source, even if it is not actively maintained, and even if nobody has published a flowchart or logic diagram that indicates how the code works. Such a program can be modified or maintained by anyone, if they are competent enough. But device drivers are different cases, because even if the source is open, and licensed as open, unless you are able to determine how the hardware works from looking at the source code, it really isn't open source because nobody can modify it. Nobody that is, except someone who has the hardware technical documentation. And that documentation is not something Nvidia gives out, even under NDA. The author of NV, Mark, is an Nvidia employee, so he has access to this data and can modify the driver. But nobody else can modify the driver who doesen't work for Nvidia. Thus it's immaterial - for a device driver - if source is open or not or source is licensed as open source or not, because other people are prevented from working on the driver. It would be like if I patented a software algorithim and released open source for it, then started suing everyone for patent violations who simply used that source. (NOT copyright violations) Kind of like Unisys and the .gif file format. Under that criteria, I guess NV isn't open source. There's an open source organization which is trying to establish branding on the name open source who has a bunch of criterian that they claim a program license must meet to be termed open source I don't hold with that, but if you do I do not think that the source for the nv driver meets their criterian either. I view a program as being open source based on what the copyright holder intends with it. For example, I don't have a problem with a copyright holder claiming copyright on a program then writing a license that only permits people to download the source and compile it and use it in their own projects, or for custom projects they are doing for other people, but prohibits people from compiling binaries of the program then selling those binaries as standalone programs, or using the source in software that they are selling standalone binaries of. To me, that is open source but to a lot of people it isn't. To GNU it isn't, but rather than writing a license that bars selling software, they wrote a license that requires source to be provided if you do sell the software, in the hopes that this would kill enthusiasm among people for selling open source. Goals of GNU and the hypothetical copyright holder are the same, but approach to that goal is different - thus GNU claims it's own stuff is open source and the hypothetical copyright holders stuff isn't.

RE: License Question
-Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Manolo Fredricks Sent: Thursday, November 24, 2005 11:27 PM To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: License Question Hi All I'm new to this forum. I am a bit confused about the FreeBSD license and keep getting conflicting answers from different people. Would like to know you guys think. Here goes. If I make modifications to FreeBSD and then distribute it (the modified FreeBSD) to others: 1. Must I provide the source code or can I choose not to? This depends. What do you mean by FreeBSD FreeBSD contains some programs that are not under the BSD license. For example the compiler. That is under the GPL. If you modify the compiler the GPL license says you must distribute the mods. Anyone doing what you propose would presumably be not so lazy that they would not actually read the source code they are working on, it will say at the beginning of the code what license it is under. Read the FreeBSD website it contains some text of some of the licenses. Read the text. The text will tell you what is allowable and what is not. If you still have questions about the licensing ON A SPECIFIC SOURCE FILE or questions on A SPECIFIC LICENSE then come here and ask. Otherwise, asking general questions like you are doing is just looking to cause trouble. There is no get out of jail free card in the FreeBSD licensing that covers every source file. You do indeed have to actually do the work of looking at everything you are linking into, the source files of it, and check their licenses. Effort has been made to try to get the base system as unencumbered as possible, but this has mainly been done with the idea of not causing problems for users when they compile programs and run them under FreeBSD for their organization or for other people, and not making companies selling FreeBSD binaries have to spend months rewriting critical parts of the system. It is a different ballgame when you are proposing taking source in the FreeBSD distribution and modifying it then distributing only the modified binaries. There are many companies doing this, but all of them had to vet their source the same way you are going to have to do. Sorry, but there is no free lunch here, you cannot just assume everything in FreeBSD is covered under the FreeBSD license. Ted PS Keep one other thing in mind. If you make mods to the FreeBSD files and do not contribute your changes back, you are going to have to be forever rewriting your mods when a new FreeBSD version comes out. If however you contribute your mods back, and they are accepted, (some mods are not accepted) then you will be freed from the burden of having to maintain them. What is more important is that you will get advice and direction from the core as to where they intended to go with FreeBSD, and this will help you to avoid writing mods that later have to be extensively rewritten. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: dvd-ripping to iso on freebsd ...

Every document I see refers to vobcopy, which is not what I want, as I want single-file iso dumps of the dvd. The port sysutils/dvdbackup will backup a dvd to your harddrive. You can then either burn the directory, or create an iso, by the normal means described in the handbook. I've copied a few this way, but the last couple I tried came out as 8GB and I gave up and transcoded them instead, as I didn't fancy burning any dual-layer coasters. I'd be intested to know whether such disks really are DVD9, or whether this is some form of copy-protection, IIRC there was a trick with cross-linking that did that on some software CDs. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

How to get best results from FreeBSD-questions
How to get the best results from FreeBSD questions. === Last update $Date: 2005/08/10 02:21:44 $ This is a regular posting to the FreeBSD questions mailing list. If you got it in answer to a message you sent, it means that the sender thinks that at least one of the following things was wrong with your message: - You left out a subject line, or the subject line was not appropriate. - You formatted it in such a way that it was difficult to read. - You asked more than one unrelated question in one message. - You sent out a message with an incorrect date, time or time zone. - You sent out the same message more than once. - You sent an 'unsubscribe' message to FreeBSD-questions. If you have done any of these things, there is a good chance that you will get more than one copy of this message from different people. Read on, and your next message will be more successful. This document is also available on the web at http://www.lemis.com/questions.html. = Contents: I:Introduction II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions III: Should I ask -questions or -hackers? IV: How to submit a question to FreeBSD-questions V:How to answer a question to FreeBSD-questions I: Introduction === This is a regular posting aimed to help both those seeking advice from FreeBSD-questions (the newcomers), and also those who answer the questions (the hackers). Note that the term hacker has nothing to do with breaking into other people's computers. The correct term for the latter activity is cracker, but the popular press hasn't found out yet. The FreeBSD hackers disapprove strongly of cracking security, and have nothing to do with it. In the past, there has been some friction which stems from the different viewpoints of the two groups. The newcomers accused the hackers of being arrogant, stuck-up, and unhelpful, while the hackers accused the newcomers of being stupid, unable to read plain English, and expecting everything to be handed to them on a silver platter. Of course, there's an element of truth in both these claims, but for the most part these viewpoints come from a sense of frustration. In this document, I'd like to do something to relieve this frustration and help everybody get better results from FreeBSD-questions. In the following section, I recommend how to submit a question; after that, we'll look at how to answer one. II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions == When you subscribed to FreeBSD-questions, you got a welcome message from [EMAIL PROTECTED] In this message, amongst other things, it told you how to unsubscribe. Here's a typical message: Welcome to the freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list! If you ever want to unsubscribe or change your options (eg, switch to or from digest mode, change your password, etc.), visit your subscription page at: http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/options/freebsd-questions/[EMAIL PROTECTED] (obviously, substitute your mail address for [EMAIL PROTECTED]). You can also make such adjustments via email by sending a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word 'help' in the subject or body (don't include the quotes), and you will get back a message with instructions. You must know your password to change your options (including changing the password, itself) or to unsubscribe. Normally, Mailman will remind you of your freebsd.org mailing list passwords once every month, although you can disable this if you prefer. This reminder will also include instructions on how to unsubscribe or change your account options. There is also a button on your options page that will email your current password to you. Here's the general information for the list you've subscribed to, in case you don't already have it: FREEBSD-QUESTIONS User questions This is the mailing list for questions about FreeBSD. You should not send how to questions to the technical lists unless you consider the question to be pretty technical. Normally, unsubscribing is even simpler than the message suggests: you don't need to specify your mail ID unless it is different from the one which you specified when you subscribed. If Majordomo replies and tells you (incorrectly) that you're not on the list, this may mean one of two things: 1. You have changed your mail ID since you subscribed. That's where keeping the original message from majordomo comes in handy. For example, the sample message above shows my mail ID as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Since then, I have changed it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] If I were to try to remove [EMAIL PROTECTED] from the list, it would fail: I would have to specify the name with which I joined. 2.

The Complete FreeBSD: errata and addenda

The result is that most leading edge computer books are out of date almost before they are printed. Unfortunately, The Complete FreeBSD, published by O'Reilly, is no exception. Inevitably, a number of bugs and changes have surfaced. The Complete FreeBSD has been through a total of five editions, including its predecessor Installing and Running FreeBSD. Two of these have been reprinted with corrections. I maintain a series of errata pages. Start at http://www.lemis.com/errata-4.html to find out how to get the errata information.

Cleaning-up stale PID files on reboot
I start mlnet, the daemon part of mldonkey, from it's local rc.d script on bootup. If mlnet isn't shutdown properly, it leaves behind a pid file that prevents the daemon running until I notice and manually delete the file. What's the best way to deal with this?

Questions regarding wlan, ipw and project evil
Hello, I have been trying to get my Intel PRO/Wireless 2100 NIC working with WPA with FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE, but am left with a few questions that I couldn't find clear answers to. - It seems that when I put ipw in my kernel instead of loading it as a module, it won't will not attach to my NIC (no ipw0 to be found in my dmesg). When I load ipw as a module however it does attach to my NIC as ipw0. Is this normal? As the module seems to work ok, it doesn't really pose a problem but it does make me wonder. - Somewhat similar as my question above (except that it's the other way around), I wanted to move wlan/wlan_* from my kernel to modules (so I could keep all the wifi stuff together in one place), but it seems I can't load wlan as a module. Putting wlan_load=YES in my loader.conf doesn't make it load on boot nor can I manually load it with kldload wlan (it says File exists), it's not there when I do kldstat, but it's definitely not in my kernel either. Does wlan _have_ to be in the kernel? The wlan_* modules do load fine, by the way. - I read on the website of the author of the ipw driver that it doesn't support WPA, is this still true and if so, is there any chance of it eventually supporting it, or should I just go out and get a NIC that does work with WPA under FreeBSD 6.0? Does Project Evil support WPA? or does it depend on the ndis driver used? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

can't build apache2 + openssl 0.9.8 beta to get around 0.9.7 problems
I've been trying to build the apache2 port with the openssl 0.9.8 beta (becuase

attempting to start apache2.

Since I've installed openssl-beta-0.9.8a and don't want to build apache2 with
0.9.7i, how can I tell apache to use the newest port?
I can get the openssl 0.9.8 port to build just fine and the apache2 port to
build with the openssl-0.9.7i port, but I can't get apache2 to build with the
openssl-0.9.8a port. I was searching in the Makefile for apache2 and found the
following line:
# patch files
EXTRA_PATCHES+= ${FILESDIR}/build-fix-openssl_beta
and I'm not sure how (or if) this applies to my situation. And since the port
isn't older (I don't know if it really is or isn't), I've decided not to
force the registration.
and the version command in openssl yields,
bobby# openssl
OpenSSL version
OpenSSL 0.9.7e-p1 25 Oct 2004

which I don't think is correct either, is it?
Any help would be great.

See man procfs if you want to experiment. Instead, why don't you make the cron job redirect output to a file e.g. /sysutils/portmanager 21 | tee /tmp/portmanager That way you can do a tail -f on /tmp/portmanager and still get the output mailed you as normal. If you don't want to be mailed the output then just use in place of | tee. If more than one such job might run at once then you'll have to find some way to name the file differently for each run. Calling it /tmp/portmanager.$$ would probably work as each invocation should be run using a different shell process. I haven't tested this :-( --Alex PS Background isn't really an accurate description of the process running from cron. What you are trying to do is to see STDOUT and STDERR from some process which is unrelated to the interactive shell you are running. A background process, as you've probably come across it, is a process run from your shell but which doesn't stop you interacting with the shell. In this case the shell is able to send STDOUT and STDERR from the process to your terminal, but the job run from cron has no such terminal. A better description would be a daemon.

I have tried: - FreeBSD 5.2.1 (i386) - FreeBSD 5.3 (i386) - FreeBSD 5.4 (i386) - FreeBSD 6.0 (i386) - FreeBSD 6.0 (amd64) I have tried safe mode, and booting with ACPI disabled. I have tried setting hint.atkbd.0.flags to 0x1, 0x8 and 0x9. I have tried booting with: hw.acpi.skip_timer_override=1 hint.acpi.0.disabled=1 hint.atkbd.0.flags=0x9 And it still hangs. It hangs immediately upon selecting an option from the boot loader, except escaping to the boot prompt. Attempting that will cause it to hang after typing 'boot'. To clarify, by 'hang' I mean the little spinner spins maybe two times then stops on '-' and the computer quits responding. Any help at all is appreciated, - ND ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Upgrading to pgsql 8.1 via ports
Pat Maddox writes: Should I use postgresql81-server now instead? Yes. What do I need to do in order to upgrade my system to use pgsql 8.1? I believe you need to go a pg_dumpall all to copy data. Also keep a copy of your postgresql.conf and pg_hba.conf If you don't have any dependencies on the postgresql ports you can pg_dumpall, delete porst, install new ones. If you have dependencies you need to use portupgrade or something like it. As another poster suggested if using portupgrade you will need to use the -o flag. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

How to find system call in kernel source code?
The sendfile(2) function is apparently a kernel system call. I've
find /usr/src -type f -exec grep -il sendfile {} \; and several
variations yet not found where the code which performs sendfile() is
located. Is system call 393. Guessing I'm just missing the dispatch
table.
This is also related to P/R bin/89100. At least for me, RELENG_6
fails to send files greater than 4 GB after a few hours or days on
the disk. Freshly copied files work fine. No problem copying the file
with cp. And md5 confirms the contents have not changed.
Built a special ftpd with -g compiler flag. Am not good enough with
gdb to breakpoint a forked child, which apparently ftpd -D does
immediately. So sprinkled enough printf's to confirm sendfile() is
coming up short, is restarted, and errs finally producing the
premature EOF error message. Yet I've done enough that I'm
confident the arguments are being passed properly and of sufficient
size.
The files are between 4G and 8G and when the failure occurs the
transfer is always filesize modulo 4G. Exactly as if a 4 byte length
truncated. But strange in that it works on a new file today but
doesn't after the file is a few hours or days old. Once a file is old
enough to fail all files on that filesystem written before it also
fail. Not related to timestamp as cp -p will repair the file
temporarily.
No errors in /var/log/messages or dmesg. No errors manually launching
fsck to check the filesystems. And everything but the sendfile()
system call seems to work.

RE: MX freebsd
Any idea how long it takes until the MX freebsd mailservers know that my mail relay has changed? It's three days ago now that I changed my MX records and still mail for nagual.st is routed to my old mx mailservers. Mail arrives (luckely) because those servers are still operational, but...(?)

How do I use the 3dm2 CLI without a web browser ?
Hi, Let's play a game. Let's imagine for just one second that I am not a fucking asshole. Let's imagine that I do not want to manage my _disk drive arrays_ over a fucking web interface like a fucking little child. Let's pretend that I am a grown person, and not some bright-blinkenlights sourceforge groupie, and that I just want to run a command on the command line and get information over STDIO. Remember STDIO ? No, of course you don't - you're too busy loading KDE on your powerbook because you're too cool to use OSX, but too much of a fag not to run apple. With me so far ? Now let's say I have a 3ware array. I want to see whether it is working or not. I am used to using mlxcontrol. If nothing is wrong IT RETURNS FUCKING ZERO. Yeah - that's right - no GUI, no aqua colored desktop, and no fucking mascot. It just returns fucking zero. Or aaccli (you know, the app that won't quit on ctrl-D ? - yeah, that one) at least I can run it over ssh. So I install /usr/ports/sysutils/3dm ... and ... what ? HTML files ? gif files ? png files ? Look assholes, if I wanted a bunch of HTML and GIF and PNG files on my server, I would wget a porn site. So, now that I have mucked up my system with all of your STUPID CRAP /cameron, I run: 3dm2 Nothing. It does nothing, and now I have a 3dm2 process running in the background (presumably this is the web server for the I just lernd linux!@ crowd and middle management) There is no man page. There is no HOWTO. There is nothing but a bunch of HTML pages and pictures. Fuck you 3ware, fuck you dead. /tim_may So. My question. Is there a way to run 3dm2 on the command line, that doesn't start a daemon, that doesn't require a web browser, and that will give me information over STDIO and allow me to delete all the garbage that that port installed ?

gmirror comments and questions (causes panic)
I'm on 6-Stable as of yesterday. I've been playing around with gmirror and overall I'm very impressed. I created a mirror with three components: gmirror label -v -b round-robin test twed12 gmirror insert -v test twed13 gmirror insert -v test twed14 in the man page for gmirror the synopsis for the label and insert commands are: gmirror label [-hnv] [-b balance] [-s slice] name prov ... gmirror insert [-hiv] [-p priority] name prov ... which means that it's calling twed12, twed13, twed14 the providers. presumably test would be the consumer. But when I do a gmirror list, I get (shortened): Providers: 1. Name: mirror/test Consumers: 1. Name: twed12 2. Name: twed13 3. Name: twed14 which means that it's calling twed12, twed13 and twed14 the consumers. So that is a little confusing. twed12 already had data on it, so I mounted it on /mnt and waited for 13 and 14 to finish syncing. I wanted to try using a disk image as a backup for a simulated data update so that I could roll back to the image if need be. I did a: gmirror remove -v test twed12 so I could use 12 as the backup image. I made changes to the mirror and then: gmirror remove -v test twed13 gmirror remove -v test twed14 gmirror status which caused the machine to panic. I know that's not the right procedure, but maybe gmirror could be changed to warn against removing the last component of a mirror, or possibly handle it in a better way. I booted back up and recreated the mirror using twed12 as the first component, thus restoring the mirror to it's pre-upgrade state. So the disk-image-as-a-backup worked very well. I was impressed with the fact that when I rebooted in the middle of a gmirror syncronize, it started where it left off rather than starting over. so here's the big question; if I have the boot disk mirrored with gmirror, is it possible to remove a component of the mirror before a major upgrade and use it as a backup just in case the upgrade catastrophically fails. If so, what would be the correct procedure? This would all need to be remote without physical access to the machine of course. Thanks in advance for any info/pointers/rtfm. Double thanks for gmirror, it is a fine piece of software.

Unable to install on large hard drive
Up until now, I've installed FreeBSD on smaller drives ( 15 gig), but I recently had to replace the HD in my windows machine, so I got a larger hard drive with the idea of installing fBSD on it as well and dual booting that machine. The motherboard is an Asus A7V133, and the hard drive is a Maxtor 4D040H2 40 gig HD. The motherboard supports LBA, so I'm led to believe (though googling) that the HD size isn't a problem. fBSD correctly recognizes the HD when booting. I am attempting to install FreeBSD 6.0-Release, I haven't tried any of the 5.x versions to see if the results are the same. I have a small partition for the windows system that is 5 gig, a large partition for programs and data that is 18 gig, and around 15 gig left for fBSD. The installer squawks about the drive geometry, and says it will use a more sane geometry. I set up the slices and it doesn't squawk about writing them, and then attempts to install the system. I immediately get an error Write failure on transfer! and it can't seem to write anything to the drive. The good news is, it isn't harming my windows partitions. I can easily boot back into windows and everything there works. I did look through the manual and searched a bit on google, but I'm not having much luck finding even suggestions of what to try. Does anyone have any suggestions?

This may be the wrong approach, but what exactly are you feeding to the installer in regards to space per filesystem? ie: - 250m (for /) - xxxm (for swap) - xm (for /usr) - etc etc I've ignored those errors in the past, and have had no difficulty. This has occurred since the 4.x days for me. Mind you, I never have (and god willing) never will run a Windows system alongside FBSD, but perhaps trying to feed it what you want for the most of the filesystems, and when you get to the last, just accept the default block amount that FBSD provides you with, and let it use the rest. The good news is, it isn't harming my windows partitions. I can easily boot back into windows and everything there works. I'd suggest backing up your data on the Windows partition(s) if you have anything crutially important (especially if you are not familiar with recovering data), before you keep hammering at it.
