Re: make fetchindex in /usr/ports failing with Authentication error

2020-03-23 Thread Bob Willcox
Nevermind. I found an email that I had received last month that explained that I
had to make install ca_root_nss. Did that and all is well with make fetchindex
now.

make fetchindex in /usr/ports failing with Authentication error

2020-03-23 Thread Bob Willcox
I just updated my /usr/ports on my 13.0-current system and after that completed 
I tried to
run 'make fetchindex' and got a continuous stream of these errors written to 
the display:

fetch: https://www.FreeBSD.org/ports/INDEX-13.bz2: Authentication error
Certificate verification failed for /C=US/O=Let's Encrypt/CN=Let's Encrypt 
Authority X3
34370576384:error:1416F086:SSL 
routines:tls_process_server_certificate:certificate verify 
failed:/usr/src/crypto/openssl/ssl/statem/statem_clnt.c:1915:

Anyone have any idea what I have wrong or am missing? This was previously 
working on this
system (and make fetchindex works on my 12.1 systems ok).

Thanks,
Bob

I ran "setxkbmap -query" on my home workstation that hasn't had X updated on it 
yet
and this is what I got:

rules:  base
model:  pc105
layout: us

So presumably that was the default setting from when I installed the system last
April. I plan to run this again after I update xorg on this system, but not too
sure when I'll get to that.

I'll have to try that when I get home tonight on one of my other systems as I

afford to take the time to restart X on this system now...got to get some work

Ok, I added this to my ~/.xinitrc file:

setxkbmap -model pc105 -layout us

and my ctwm window adjustment hot keys are working again.  :)

I do wonder why it was deemed ok to change the default behavior for the key 
mappings?
Couldn't the default mappings have remained the same with change to evdev? This 
change
certainly violated the "principle of least surprise" for me.

I plan to sometime today when I get into the office. But since it's my work 
system and I
am dependent on it to do my job, I've just been a little hesitant.

I don't know about that problem. What I'm experiencing is the 
Alt-up,down,left,right keys
don't work as they used to in my ctwm window manager. They used to move the 
current window
to the closest boundry in the direction indicated by the key that is also 
pressed (while
holding the Alt key down). Also, Alt-shift-up,down,left,right would expand the 
window in
the direction indicated by the key. These actions seem to do nothing now.

Will running that command return my key mappings back to what they use to be?

Yes, and I considered installing the amd port but that just seemed like I'd be 
postponing
the inevitable. Since I had a simple use case of just using symlinks to about 
four of my
remote filesystems, switching from using the /host symlink to the /net symlink 
was pretty
easy.

Not sure, perhaps it was just my unfamiliarity with the features of autofs, but 
when
I tried setting up a map file I was unable to get it to work as it never mounted
the filesystem. I tried following the example in the auto_master man page in the
"INDIRECT VERSUS DIRECT MAPS" section and created a auto_fsmount file with this
in it:

/work -intr,nfsv4 10.1.132.8:/stor/work

and added this to the auto_master file:

/-  auto_fsmount

Created the /work directory but couldn't get it to actually mount the 
filesystem.
Removing all of those changes and creating this symlink instead:

lrwxr-xr-x   1 root  wheel19 Mar  8 12:19 work -> net/vader/stor/work

worked and it automatically mounted the filesystem on my first access:

vader:/stor/work   30T 19G 30T 0%/net/vader/stor/work

So perhaps documenting how to migrate drom amd to autofs, retaining the same
operational characteristics would be a help for those of us coming from that
environment.

Thanks,
Bob

Thanks for the tip! That worked for me. I guess from reading the documentation
I didn't pick up on staying with the symlinks and simply changing host to net.

Thanks!

Ok, I've spent a couple of hours trying to get autofs to do the simple task of
mounting my file server's nfs filesystems. With amd in the past all I needed
to do was to create symlinks like this in /:

lrwxr-xr-x   1 root  wheel20 Apr 22  2019 work -> host/vader/stor/work

Been doing that for years and it did exactly what I needed. I see that autofs
adds lots of features (which I don't need) but the added complexity that comes
with the added features (and the seemingly obscure documentation) has really
made this much more difficult to understand.

So, can someone help me understand how I would achieve the above result with
autofs?

Thanks,
Bob

I will likely look into autofs again at some point when I get a bit more time. 
Right now
my goal was to get this system up and running so using something I'm familiar 
with
expidites that.

Thanks for the tip. I will likely go ahead and install the am-utils port as 
from looking
at the setup and features of autofs it is way more complex and does more than I 
need or
want. I've been using amd for decades now and it does exactly what I need w/o 
any special
setup or configuration required.  :)

I do wonder though, are there plans to remove it from ports? I hope not. I find 
autofs to
be way overkill for my needs.

Is amd automount still supported in 13.0 or not?

2020-02-03 Thread Bob Willcox
Hi All,

I've recently installed a 13.0 snapshot on one of my system to get some 
experience with it
and am having trouble trying to setup the amd automount program. In fact, I 
can't find amd
on this system. Has amd been removed and all we have for automatically mounting
filesystems autofs?

Thanks,
Bob

Well, I added the 'makeoptions MODULES_OVERRIDE+= ipfw' to my kernel config
and rebuilt my kernel and it did build ipfw.ko as expected. I haven't
installed this new kernel yet since I am not at a good point here at work to
do that right now...but will when I get a chance.

Thanks all for the help.

Ok, thanks for that. I'll give that a try, but probably not till next time I
am ready to update this system (I use it for my day job and updating it is a
pain since I need to run the drm-next mods/branch).

ipfw kernel module not being built

2017-08-11 Thread Bob Willcox
When I rebuild my kernel on Jun 13th none of the previous ipfw kernel modules 
were built:

ipfw.ko
ipfw_nat.ko
ipfw_nat64.ko
ipfw_nptv6.ko
ng_ipfw.ko

and only this ipfw module was built:

ng_ipfw.ko

However, the verson of /etc/rc.d/ipfw that I'm running (from the
freebsd-base-graphics branch) is failing to load ipfw so my firewall isn't
starting.

So, what am I missing? Is it possible that the freebsd-base-graphics branch
that I'm running has an old or improper version of /etc/rc.d/ipfw?

If I could have loaded tmpfs it would have. But the tmpfs.ko module was not
being built so it couldn't be loaded. I wound up cding into
/usr/src/sys/modules/tmpfs and running make and make install to build and
install it. After that kldload tmpfs did work.

For some reason it isn't getting built on the system. Not when the kernel
or world are built.

Ok, I finally figured out that my previous kernel must have had the tmpfs (and
nullfs, it was a problem also with synth) built into the kernel, probably by
default. Further, the tmpfs.ko and nullfs.ko modules weren't built and
installed.

I wound up building and installing both tmpfs and nullfs manually (cding to
their respective src direcdories and running make; make install) to get synth
to run.

My only question remaining now is was the removal of the building and
installing of these modules a fairly recent change in 12.0, or is something in
my system hosed up?

Thanks,
Bob

I just picked up a Skylake i5 NUC (NUC6i5SYH) and was looking for help on what
I need to do to tryout the driver support for Skylake on it.

Currently I have FreeBSD-current (as of a couple of days ago) running on it.
I've read through most of the emails here discussing drm-next support but I'm
not at all clear on where to start? What do I need to do/get?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

A more complete description, preferably with a few examples, would really help

 Given the above, I suspect that the fact that I have the line:

CURRENT breaks loading of nvidia.so

Yesterday when I upgraded my current box I encountered this failure when
attempting to load the nvidia-driver (nvidia.so):

link_elf_obj: symbol _callout_stop_safe undefined
linker_load_file: Unsupported file type

So, today I updtated my system again today hoping it might be fixed but the
problem persists.

The version of ftp in 4.9-R also supports this feature and is documented

Were the device names for the Mylex devices changed? They used be named

Was this a deliberate name change or am I missing something here?

 You're confusing two issues.  To run a.out binaries you just need
 COMPAT_AOUT.

Well, I have that in my kernel config file so maybe something has

 To generate new a.out binaries you need an a.out

 never did.

From my experience/use with amanda I know that it _always_ kills the

several per file system, one for each dump level it's interested in). I
don't think it deliberately kills the dumps when actually dumping the

locate.mklocatedb requires perl which may not be installed

2002-06-22 Thread Bob Willcox

Hi,

I just installed a system today using the 5.0-CURRENT-20020621-JPSNAP.iso
CDROM and noticed that when I attempted to run /etc/periodic/weekly/310.locate
so that I could use locate to find some files that it spewed out:

Perl is not installed, try 'pkg_add -r perl'

Rather than simply installing perl (I'll get to that later)
I decided to track down what was calling it. Turns out that
/usr/libexec/locate.mklocatedb was the culprit. I then modified
locate.mklocatedb to use awk rather than perl. Here's the diff:

This seems to be working for me. It could likely be improved upon by the
perl and/or awk some expert out there. (I'm actually more familiar with
awk than perl but I wouldn't claim that my awk translation is the most
efficient either.)

  Not unless you have plans.  When I was an IBM employee, they would
  not change the license, and so it's impossible to ship a CDROM
  where it's the boot FS, or boxes on which it is the boot FS, and
  still have it be legal, because of the license conflicts.
 
  I fought this for about a year within IBM, before I gave up.
 
 Since then, it has become possible for the loader to load modules
 before booting the kernel.  This means that, theoretically, it would
 be possible to have a JFS root file system.  Given the strong
 opposition to the GPL in some factions of the FreeBSD project, I don't
 see this happening any time soon, especially since we still don't know
 if it will buy us anything.
 
  It is used on IBM MainFrames and Enterprise servers
  for high performance and maximum throughput...
 
  No, it's not.  The Linux JFS is derived from the OS/2 JFS code, not
  the good AIX JFS code.
 
 That's correct, but note that AIX is moving to this code base too, so
 it's not as if it's second-rate.  From what I've seen of the
 structures, JFS2 is *much* better than JFS1.  I haven't compared
 performance.

I happened to be with IBM working on AIX (I was the AIX architecture
manager at the time) during the development of the original JFS (for
AIX 3.1 on the first RS/6000s). Its design and implementation were
largely the result of the efforts of a single person (Al Chang) from
IBM research, who was also the primary designer/developer for the
VM system for AIX 3.1. Consequently, the JFS code was designed to
take advantage of the specific VM implementation (and the underlying
RS/6000 VM hardware). This resulted in a rather unportable code base.
Additionally, since it was derived from ATT (and BSD) filesystem
code, there were some licensing issues. As I recall, these two issues
(portability and license) were what lead to the reimplementation for
OS/2 (I wasn't involved or even very familiar with that effort though).

Best way to get a system on current?

2001-10-12 Thread Bob Willcox

Hi All,

I am interested in what is the best way to get a test system running
current? I have tried both upgrading from 4.4-stable (ran into kernel
build problems) and installing from the 5.0-20011011-CURRENT snapshot
(install failed to mount the filesystems). I decided that I would query
the net-wisdom prior to investigating either of these approached any
further, though.

BTW, before y'all (note, I live in Texas) beat me up for not reading the
freebsd-current mailing list, I would like to point out that I have read
it but didn't found anything apparent that addresses this (and that's
not to say that it's not there, just that I didn't find it...pointers to
any oversight on my part are welcomed).

Any suggestions??

Thanks,
Bob

 Might help if you provided a pointer to the problems you had in the
 upgrade from -STABLE case.  For that matter, a bit more detail on the
 install failed to mount the filesystems for the install from -CURRENT
 snapshot case would be of interest, as well.
 
 In my case, I just followed the instructions in /usr/src/UPDATING, and
 it worked (once I fabricated a replacement kernel config file).

Unfortunately, the actual specifics on what failed on the upgrade
attempt were lost on the attempted snapshot install. However from
memory, the problem was that the kernel build failed (the make
buildworld was successful). It appeared that the make buildkernel was
using header files from the current system, rather than the /usr/src/sys
tree, when building, but I'm not certain.

Note that, now that I think somemore about it, I may have _not_ have
created a new kernel config file. (I usually do, but don't recall doing
it this time.) Consequently, I may have been trying to use the 4.4 kernel
file that I had for this system. I really wouldn't expect that to work.
If that's the case, I can start all over again with this approach
(install 4.4 and upgrade).

As for the snapshot install, since it's errors were only written to the
screen I have to work from memory here as well. I believe the first
complaint had to do with the filesystems to be mounted (/mnt/usr, for
example) not specified in fstab. Since all of the mounts to /mnt failed,
the system fails pretty soon apparently running out of space in /.

Thanks,
Bob

 It would be nice to see the problems you experienced.  One is supose to
 be able to update from 4.4-stable to 5-CURRENT.  Do you still have the
 error output (and the exact sequence of commands that produced it)?

No, unfortunately the output is long gone (lost in the subsequent
attempt to install the 5.0-current snapshot). I'm planning on recreating
the snapshot install failure (or getting it right this time and having
the install work:-).

If I still can't install the snapshot, I will resort to installing
4.4 and trying the upgrade again. I do remember that it was in the
make buildkernel step that I had the problem (the make buildworld was
successful). A compile failed due to what looked like it was using the
wrong header files (from /usr/include/sys). If this should recur, I will
save the output.

Note that I may have used the old 4.4 kernel config file for this
though. Next time I plan on using the GENERIC config file.

Thanks,
Bob

panic: page fault (apparently caused by mount_mfs)

Hi,

I have been getting a panic lately with every -current kernel that I
have built for the past week or so (-current cvsupped daily).  Even the
GENERIC kernel panics.  It is occuring when the mount for a /tmp mfs
filesystem is attempted.  If I boot an old kernel from 5/11 or remove
the fstab entry for the mfs file system the system boots up okay.  My
fstab entry for this is:

/dev/da0s1b/tmp mfs   rw,nosuid,-s=102400 0   0

and the panic messages are:

Fatal trap 12: pagefault while in kernel mode
fault virtual address   = 0x9d334e68
fault code  = Supervisor read, page not present
instruction pointer = 0x8:0xc0185cb0

 See- it's been working fine for me!

Yep.  I am going to try re-checking out all of the current sources and
see if that helps.  Perhaps something is hosed with my source tree.

Thanks,
Bob

Re: panic: page fault (apparently caused by mount_mfs)

  Hi,
  
  I have been getting a panic lately with every -current kernel that I
  have built for the past week or so (-current cvsupped daily).  Even the
  GENERIC kernel panics.  It is occuring when the mount for a /tmp mfs
  filesystem is attempted.  If I boot an old kernel from 5/11 or remove
  the fstab entry for the mfs file system the system boots up okay.  My
  fstab entry for this is:
  
  /dev/da0s1b/tmp mfs   rw,nosuid,-s=102400 0   0
  
  and the panic messages are:

  Any ideas on what may be wrong?

 How about recompile mfs kld module and try again?

I have been making world each time after cvsupping so I would expect the
mfs kld module to be getting rebuilt and it appears to be up-to-date:

-r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  12778 May 17 13:34 /modules/mfs.ko

Also, both my custom kernel config file and the GENERIC config file
include options MFS so mfs should not be getting loaded, right?

Thanks,
Bob

Substitute for dumps on specification in kernel config file

1999-05-12 Thread Bob Willcox
Is there an alternative way of specifying where system dumps are to go
similar to the now obsolete:

config  kernel  root on da0s1 dumps on da0s1b

line?  I am experiencing a panic on a recently cvsuped -current kernel
and need to get a crash dump during boot (prior to dumpon being
executed).


Thanks,
Bob

 That is what I've been told by an Exabyte engineer years back. I can only
 guess that some OEMs need adaptations to the firmware behaviour that are
 incompatible with what the rest of the world needs (or has standardised
 on, e.g. in the ANSI SCSI standard). Again, guessing.

Well, I can only speak for the IBM OEM'd drives that I have (as a
retired IBMer, I've been picking them up at their employee surplus
store here in Austin, TX).  For these drives the generic firmware works
just fine.  I can see why Exabyte wouldn't openly recommend the change
though.

Back in the late 80's, when I was still working for IBM on AIX, I do
recall that we did have some customizations in the firmware for the
RS/6K AIX systems.  In addition to changing the Inquiry command Vendor
ID data, I believe there were some functional changes (I don't recall
the details).  I have always suspected that the functional changes are
likely what made the IBM OEM'd drives fail on FreeBSD!  The upgraded
firmware IBM drives work on both (as Other SCSI Tape Drive).

 
  have have precisely these firmware levels in them (2680  C034).  Also,
 
 Mine works OK with that f/w. Not that I use the 8200 often anymore, 
 I like my DLT4000 much better than the 8200. ;-)

I much prefer my Exabyte Mammouth drives as well  :-)

(But I do seem to get some fun out of playing with the 8200's I get for
$10 apiece from the surplus store :-)

At the time he sent me the newest (but not ever installed in shipping

as a matter of course, upgraded the firmware in all of my 8200's to this
2687/C034 combination with good success.

I have both of these ERPOM files handy and would gladly email them to
anyone that wants them (you'll need access to an EPROM burner).

Hmm, why is that?  The newest of the IBM branded Exabyte 8200's that I
have have precisely these firmware levels in them (2680  C034).  Also,
I have here about 12 or so 8200's that I have changed to the 2687/C034
(most of them were already at C034 for the SV PROM) without problems.
Have you checked the switch settings on the MX board?  The IBM drives
that I have all came with sw8 set to on which, according to the service
manual, is for PI Cartridge Type (International).  The off position is
for P6 Cartridge type (Domestic, I assume means USA).  My drives don't
work (hang, as I recall) with this switch set to On.

For those out there without the benefit of the service manual, here is
the description of these switches:

---
Switch  Off Position(0) On Position(1)
---
1   Run Memory Test On  Bypass Memory Test On
Power-on reset (65 sec) Power-on reset (8 sec)

2   Parity checking DisabledParity checking enabled

3   Odd or Even byte disconnect Even byte disconnect

4   Report busy status  No busy enable

5   Fixed block mode on Variable block mode on
power uppower up

6   Normal data operations  No disconnect during
data transfer

7   Reserved for future use Reserved for future use

8   P6 Cartridge Type   PI Cartridge Type
(Domestic)  (International)


I have been setting my switches like so:

1   On
2   On
3   On
4   Off
5   On
6   Off
7   Off
8   Off

Notes: Switch 1 is on the left-most side (looking at the card with the
edge connector down) and the up position (closest to the top edge of the
card) is to On position.  Also, all of this applies to level 2 MX cards
only.  This is all I have ever seen, but I'm sure there are some level
1 cards out there somewhere.  According to the service manual the level
1 cards use jumpers rather than switches and though the same functions
seem to be there, there not in the same positions.  If you happen to
have one of these and want to know what their settings are email me.

Hope this helps someone,
Bob
