Problem restarts
Hi, I'm having a problem with spontaneous restarts. This isn't a new problem, but I've done the obvious things and the problem hasn't gone away. I was thinking of asking on -hackers, but I'm trying here first. The system is a 4.8 with a mix of patches and port upgrades of various ages. I'm planning to rebuild the whole thing, bringing it up to date, but I'm hoping to be able to wait for a 5.x in STABLE; I don't want to do this twice, since I expect I'll have to dump and restore everything. The hardware is a 2.6 GHz P4 with 2 GByte of GEIL dual-channel memory. (The problem existed on the previous, somewhat slower, memory as well.) The box contains the processor and motherboard (Gigabyte GA-SINXP1394), two floppy drives, CD and CD/W drives, an HP DAT, three IBM/Hitachi 36G/10K SCSI drives, and one 120G IDE. The SCSI card is by Adaptec; the video card is a low-end NVidia, and I'm running their video driver. The PS is an Antec True380, which should be enough for the box, with something to spare. There are several extra, large fans, of which more later. The system, monitor, printer, and cable modem are all powered through an APC BACK-UPS 450, about 18 months old. It's shown in the last week that it can keep things up for more than an hour. The symptom is a restart that leaves no indication of how it happened. Recently, the system shut down (completely, and at the power supply) instead of restarting. In that case, the last deliberate shutdown was a `shutdown -h now'; it appears that in every other case, the last deliberate shutdown was a `-r now'. (Question: does the machine architecture have settings for reset-resume .vs. reset-halt, settings that might be remembered when a later action occurs?) It has subsequently shut down with an immediate restart. There are no failure indications in the /var/log/messages, nor reported by dmesg. (The console scrolls by very quickly.) The message sequence over the restart typically looks like this: === Jun 7 18:39:09 moleend /kernel: arp: 24.228.64.1 moved from 00:05:00:e7:17:44 t o 00:05:00:e7:17:57 on em0 Jun 7 18:39:09 moleend /kernel: arp: 24.228.64.1 moved from 00:05:00:e7:17:57 t o 00:05:00:e7:17:44 on em0 Jun 7 18:59:06 moleend dhclient: New Network Number: 24.228.64.0 Jun 7 18:59:06 moleend dhclient: New Broadcast Address: 255.255.255.255 Jun 7 22:47:33 moleend /kernel: Copyright (c) 1992-2003 The FreeBSD Project.

It most often occurs when the system is under heavy CPU load, but sometimes when the load has been light. I thought at one time it might be a thermal problem and undertook to fix that. (I am still working to get more cooling air over the disks.) Right now, I have 120 mm fans rated at 130-135 CFM (Panaflow and JMC) pushing air in and out of the box, and pressurizing a duct feeding the CPU cooler, which is now cool to the touch. The memory modules are cool to the touch. While the disks need a proper plenum to route more air over them, I no longer believe that there is a thermal problem. The vid card's fan-blown heatsink is warm (not hot) to the touch; the northbridge's fan-blown heatsink is warm (not hot) to the touch. (Some people commute to white-collar jobs in heavy pickups; I drive a small server as my PC. No chrome pipes.) So: what should I do next? Should I set the system up to go to the kernel debugger on panic, or even start it via the kernel debugger? (Where is the full documentation?) Should I shell out for an even bigger power supply? Is there another log that I should examine? A restart wire that I should check? A power bus I should scope? (I'll have to borrow a scope somewhere.) Is it time for an exorcist? Thanks for your help.

RE: Updating source code manually
thanks all for your suggestions. i'll refrain from running the portupgrade on KDE whilst KDE is running. as for the patch procedures you guys suggested, i'm actually looking for a way to do it without using the ports system at all. the problem is that kdebase takes so long to build, and as we have already discussed i can't run it whilst running KDE, and it's a rare occassion that i can afford to be without my PC for that long, and there is no individual port for Kate. the patch i've received is about 10 lines of code and the problem that it solves is _extremely_ minor, so if there is no way to rebuild Kate without rebuilding all of KDEBase, then i probably won't bother :-) but that was some great info for future reference if ever i want to apply a patch locally to verify it before sending it to the port maintainer. thanks very much everyone. cheers iain From: Robert Huff [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Iain Dooley [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Updating source code manually Date: Sat, 26 Jun 2004 23:20:17 -0400 Hello: 1) i received a small patch for Kate (K Advanced Text Editor) from one of the developers, how can i compile this new code into the binary? Once you've confirmed the patch works, _please_ get the developer's permission and submit it to the port maintainer(s). You may not be the only one suffering. 2) this question may be answered by any information provided in answer to my first question, but how can i upgrade specific components of KDE (such as Kate) without upgrading the entire KDE installation (which takes a couple of days) For something as complex as KDE, a proper upgrade will almost always drag along new versions of infrastructure. 3) Is it safe to do a portupgrade of KDE whilst KDE is still running? It will probably not be lethal, but it is not safe computing practice. During execution, many programs and shared libraries leave most of the read-only portion of code on disk and reload it when needed. Let's say KDE uses libfoo.1.5.so, which is actually v1.5.7. You upgrade something, which upgrades libfoo.1.5.so to v1.5.8. The kernel (unaware of the change) reloads part of the file and restarts execution at a particular address. Will that address valid code? Maybe. But if it isn't the shared library will crash, likely taking KDE with it. Even if it _is_ valid code, it may not be compatible with the old version. Best case, the program crashes. Worst case, ongoing and invisible data corruption with no hint of cause. The reality is people (including me) do it. If you choose to do so, know the risks.

sysinstall in a jail
I am running into a problem installing packages via sysinstall within a jail using the CD media. I did a minimal install, but added the /usr/src directory. I followed the directions to setup a jail and copied /stand/sysinstall into the jail subdirectory. As per the directions, I then started up the jail and ran sysinstall. But when I attempt to install off of the cdrom media, I get the following error: Error mounting /dev/acdoc on /dist: Operation not permitted (1). Now it makes sense that a jail might not be allowed to mount a system device. My confusion is that these were the instructions and I have not seen any posts saying this is a problem. Is there a way to give the jail permission to access the CD device? Should I mount the CD from the host (outside the jail) but to a subdirectory the jail has access to? Such as /usr/jail/myjail/dist?

After reading about the limited writing capabilities in the man page of mount_ntfs I'm wondering if I would be better off doing this on a linux box. If you just need to copy the identical drives, you could ignore the filesystem and make a raw copy. If you ask me, you'd be better off using UFS, which doesn't have any of the weirdnesses or limitations of FAT _or_ NTFS. The linux box that created the origional backup onto the USB drive had no problem creating the Fat32 filesystem and writing to it. Horay for Linux. If you really need to put FAT filesystems on these drives, you're not going to be able to use FreeBSD until the limitation is fixed. The other thing is that the cluster size must be huge. Fat32 was supposed to start being inefficient around 8GB and this is well beyond that :).

ISP Connection problem - ADSL
Hi, Im a freeBSD newbie have been struggling for some time to get my adsl connection working on Freebsd 5.2.1 Release. I've tried many suggested configurations for /etc/ppp/ppp.conf, and /etc/rc.conf read relevant chapters from 'Complete FreeBSD' the handbook, but my connection still dies before reaching the LCP phase. Im using an Alcatel Speedtouch 530 Modem connected to Ethernet. My ADSL connection is fine in Windoze however the configuration for the modem is usually set through a web-browser. Do the modem settings(done via browser) affect the connection in FBSD or does the system simply take the settings from ppp.conf etc? Im somewhat confused on this point. I can ping the modem at 10.0.0.138 and can open the web interface in X.

m0n0BSD: IPSec configuration

Re: cue images
Is there any program that runs on fbsd that allows burning cue files? I did not find anything about it on the burncd man page. .bin/.cue files are not standard. Use ports/sysutils/bchunk to convert them to a standard ISO image. Actually, bin/cue is pretty much standard (at least in the win32 world), and sysutils/cdrdao can burn those without any problem. What international standard describes their format? Windows is not a standard. Where are the international standard that describe the ISO file (not the filesystem!) format? How do you convert music disc image to iso format? BTW, the non-standard cdrdao do the job fine. bye, artifex ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: IP alias + NAT through a single NIC?
Romain Kang wrote: I have a single physical network with 2 disjoint address spaces in it. Logical Net 1 is routable, while Logical Net 2 is in private space intended to keep devices there safe from the outside. Now I need to allow some Net 2 devices the capability to access the web, and putting in a second physical net is impractical. Can a FreeBSD box with just one NIC on the physical net be used as the router between the logical nets? Yes, although using one NIC compromises security a great deal compared with having two physical subnets seperated by a packet-filtering firewall. Set up an interface alias via ifconfig to go on the second network, enable ipforwarding and presumably NAT. If so, could it be used to limit outside access from Net 2 by hardware address? All outside traffic is going to go through the machine used as a router and acquire it's hardware address. If you have another router on net 1, blocking packets from that MAC on all of the hosts on net 2 would be useful, but you'd have to do it for each client machine, not just on this FreeBSD box itself. Or is there a proxy that would work for this configuration? Running a proxy server on the FreeBSD box is more secure than providing routing and NAT for the machines on net 2. squid works fine for this. -- -Chuck ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: ISP Connection problem - ADSL
Im using an Alcatel Speedtouch 530 Modem connected to Ethernet. My ADSL connection is fine in Windoze however the configuration for the modem is usually set through a web-browser. Do the modem settings(done via browser) affect the connection in FBSD or does the system simply take the settings from ppp.conf etc? Im somewhat confused on this point. I can ping the modem at 10.0.0.138 and can open the web interface in X. Do you have this modem set up to do the PPPoE dialing for you? In Windows, do you have to use any software to connect, or is the connection made automatically. It appears you have your modem set up in routing mode, which means the modem most likely does the authentication to your ISP for you. I have a strong suspicion that you do not even need to use ppp on the FreeBSD box. If your modem contains the login info for the ISP, just set up your /etc/rc.conf file with the following: ifconfig_nic=DHCP and then run: # /etc/netstart You *should* get your info from the router (modem) and should be up and surfing. If that doesn't work, provide more info on your setup, including the output of 'ipconfig' on the windows machine.

You shouldn't portupgrade KDE when KDE is running, but you should be able to run `make' to build everything while KDE is running, shut down KDE and `portupgrade -w' afterwards (which will use the binaries built by `make' and install them, taking seriously less time than the original `make') and restart KDE. At least that's how it would with an ordinary port. So if your only problem is that you can't use the thing without KDE, then this approach should solve the problem (use nice(1) to change the make's priority so that the box is really usable). the patch i've received is about 10 lines of code and the problem that it solves is _extremely_ minor, so if there is no way to rebuild Kate without rebuilding all of KDEBase, then i probably won't bother :-) HTH anyway, -- DoubleF If you want to know what god thinks of money, just look at the people he gave it to. -- Dorothy Parker pgp7jWNw3pMEu.pgp Description: PGP signature

FW: help please? corrupted hard disc - invalid super block.
It looks like you wrote the disklabel for the slice to the disk or vice-versa. If you check /dev there probably isn't a /dev/ad5s* there. Try mounting /dev/ad5e instead of /dev/ad5s1e. To verify, do a bsdlabel ad5s1 to see if you have a disklabel for the slice. Otherwise you could : 1.backup you disklabel #bsdlabel /dev/ad5e PATHdisklabel.BAK 2. write a correct disklabel for /dev/ad5s1 #bsdlabel -w -B ad5s1 3. Edit your disklabel to be correct : a. note the size values of #bsdlabel ad5s1 b. make another backup of your saved disklabel c. edit one of the backups and change the size value to the value you got from #bsdlabel ad5s1 d. write your edited disklabel to ad5s1 #bsdlabel -R ad5s1 PATHdisklabel.BAK This *should* return no errors. 4. try to mount ad5s1 Now this is all based on them hope that you don't have to erase the bad/sliceless disklabel on da5.

Im using an Alcatel Speedtouch 530 Modem connected to Ethernet. My ADSL connection is fine in Windoze however the configuration for the modem is usually set through a web-browser. Do the modem settings(done via browser) affect the connection in FBSD or does the system simply take the settings from ppp.conf etc? Im somewhat confused on this point. I can ping the modem at 10.0.0.138 and can open the web interface in X. I believe your alcatel speedtouch (although I have never seen one) isn't a modem, but a router. So you don't have to mess around with ppp . You simply set it as default gateway and dns server in /stand/sysinstall -- Configure -- Networking -- Interfaces -- and select you NIC. Or - if you prefer this - have a look at your Complete FreeBSD and edit /etc/rc.conf manually.

Datasize change
Hi all, I'm having a problem where I need to allow a proccess to use up to 1.5gig of memory, however its going to be a problem to recompile my kernel. I know that these options would solve the problem: options MAXDSIZ = (1536 * 1024 * 1024) options DFLDSIZ = (1536 * 1024 * 1024) However, I'm wondering if there is a way to do it with login.conf (limits) - here you can see the limits when datasize is unspecified (using kernel default) - however could I increase it through that mechanism? Or is there another way I could do this...

Re: Updating source code manually

You shouldn't portupgrade KDE when KDE is running, but you should be able to run `make' to build everything while KDE is running, shut down KDE and `portupgrade -w' afterwards (which will use the binaries built by `make' and install them, taking seriously less time than the original `make') and restart KDE. At least that's how it would with an ordinary port. One of the two of us is confused about this. As I understand it: A) Running make build but not make install doesn't really solve the installing while running issue. Sure, it won't install for that port, but it will build-and-install for every port upstream ...

FreeBSD desktop newcomer (Enemy Territory players read) - need minor help
Hi list, After sucessfully playing Return to Castle Wolfenstein and Enemy Territory on FreeBSD 5.2.1, I decided to switch my workstation to freebsd. I have large experience on the server side but kinda new to the desktop. Here are some minor annoyances i'm not being able to solve: 1. I've added a 'paw' menu to access the main menu, but I'd like the win-key to open this menu. possible? 2. Is there any app like in KDE to update the gnome (2.6.1) menus to reflect changes in installed applications? 3. Annoyances with enemy territory: - The game console isn't bound to \. I have to open it with ~, and the leading \ won't appear. This makes me send lots of commands to general chat instead of issuing them, have to remember this all the time. I did a bind \ toggleconsole, while it will bring console with \ then, it won't make it vanish. My only clue was it could be a keyboard config error, so I configured it (using gnome), layout portuguese keyboard, microsoft natural. it should be working. Also on xchat and such, if I use any letter with an accent people will see it as a '?'. How do I fix this behavior ? - Im getting some delay switching weapons and shooting. I press mouse1 and about 0.5sec later the weapon will shoot. This should be instantaneous. I don't have any idea on this one, solutions ? - CAPS LOCK key won't work ingame. Works fine on gnome. I need the caps lock key on enemy territory.

I'm still working my way through the code to determine if the 10Mb-ness is being reported by the devices directly, or if this is the code's interpretation based on other data requested.

Well - if I understand this, you want to use X.org in place of XFree86 - if this is correct, I would assume you install eht X.org meta-port as you mentioned. I don't know if X.org needs anything from XFree, so I can't answer that. The next thing is simply update the ports tree (that inturn updates the X.org meta when needed) then run portupgrade after the ports ttree update. See the man page for portupgrade for the parms you want. I myself use -arR Once you have run portupgrade, and if by chance the meta-port did get updated, portupgrade will bring that up to the current build for FreeBSD.

Ah - ok - putting into /etc/r.conf
ifconfig_wi0=ssid foo
will lock it during/after reboots; but kills the DHCP. Options are
- Do above but add
dhclietn wi0
to your /etc/rc.local
- Leave ifconfig_wi0=DHCP in rc.conf
and do a 'man dhclient-script' and
accordingly create a
/etc/dhclient-enter-hooks
with the text
#!/bin/sh
ifconfig wi0 ssid f00
add 'if [ x${interface} = xwi0 ]; then' ..'fi'
around it if you want it only to happen for wi0.
What the second option does is run an extra script early in the dhcp
cycle whcih sets your interface to the right ssid.

Re: Problem restarts
I had a similar problem with a server recently. The issue turned out to be the NIC/NIC driver. I changed it over to a 3com and it worked like a charm ever since. I'm also using that power supply in a server. I've noticed it gets very hot under load. I believe that model only has one fan and is considered a desktop silent model. Its possible that your system config is too much for it running 24/7. Its not the wattage per se, just that its not designed for continously use. My system is only an amd athelon 2000+ with 512mb ram, 1 7200rpm 40gig maxtor drive and a dvd reader. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Updating source code manually

You shouldn't portupgrade KDE when KDE is running, but you should be able to run `make' to build everything while KDE is running, shut down KDE and `portupgrade -w' afterwards (which will use the binaries built by `make' and install them, taking seriously less time than the original `make') and restart KDE. At least that's how it would with an ordinary port. One of the two of us is confused about this. As I understand it: A) Running make build but not make install doesn't really solve the installing while running issue. Sure, it won't install for that port, but it will build-and-install for every port upstream ... I see. You are talking abiout ABI mismatch. I dug up a portion of your earlier post: Let's say KDE uses libfoo.1.5.so, which is actually v1.5.7. You upgrade something, which upgrades libfoo.1.5.so to v1.5.8. The kernel (unaware of the change) reloads part of the file and restarts execution at a particular address. Will that address valid code? When a file is open by a process, even if you unlink it and replace it with another one, the original file will stay on disk until the last file handle referencing it is closed. I assume that holds true for libraries too. So, EXISTING processes aren't screwed. But, when a NEW process is created, it references the NEW shared library, and if their ABI's don't match --- BOOM!:) That was just a correction. I was under the impression that the OP already had KDE (and thus all `father' ports) installed and up-to-date, and only wanted to patch a file. That would mean there would be 0 upstream ports rebuilt, or am I mistaken? Maybe my post looks like stating it's a universal approach. It isn't. Sorry I didn't mention it. But if the OP doesn't have KDE up-to-date, he could `downgrade' his ports tree to match his packages (reducing the problem to the previous one). Of course that's only possible if the patch applies to the `downgraded' KDE too. He will still have to build (not-up-to-date) KDE, but this should escape ABI worries, as in fact no other changes will be made. B) ... unless you're suggesting starting at the top of the dependency tree and doing build-but-don't-install by hand for every component in order. I consider this severely impractical; it also ... The ABI problem isn't solved by your B) approach, which will only build `father' ports but still install `grandfather' ports. C) ... won't work with portupgrade unless one uses the w option.
