have an idea ?
That is problem with munin which can be patched with attached patch.
It seems to have problems with : characters. I hope that in 1.2.3
version it will be fixed, in meanwhile you can patch it for yourself.

make package problem
Hi, If I try to do a make package or make package-recursive, and the port is already installed, it always complains about that. Can I make a package without pkg_delete -f'ing the port first. It doesn't seem to complain about the dependencies though. Here is a transcript of the error message: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/ports/ftp/lftp# make package-recursive === Installing for lftp-3.2.1 === lftp-3.2.1 depends on shared library: intl - found === Generating temporary packing list === Checking if ftp/lftp already installed === lftp-3.2.1 is already installed You may wish to ``make deinstall'' and install this port again by ``make reinstall'' to upgrade it properly. If you really wish to overwrite the old port of ftp/lftp without deleting it first, set the variable FORCE_PKG_REGISTER in your environment or the make install command line. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/ftp/lftp.

Migrate primary disk (duplicate)
Hi guys I saw a post on http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2003-October/023454.html I am actually trying to migrate from one disk to an other. I need to write a script to do it with several computers. The thing is that it works perfectly when I use the fdisk's /stand/sysinstall and mbr installation, but doesn't work if I use: fdisk -B -b /boot/mbr -I ad3 (or fdisk -B -b /boot/boot0 -I ad3) The disk doesn't boot and I really don't understand. I am trying to find the solution for quite a while. The thing I didn't tell you is that I use FBSD 5.4 and this worked with FBSD 4.9.

Yes, but this is not a complete process of bringing up and booting a new disk. You've only quoted the commands that install an MBR. You also need to label the disk, create partitions in the label, create a file system on those partitions and then install the boot loader on /boot of the ad3s1a partition.

missing /dev/sequencer and /dev/midi under 5.4
Hello, I'm running FreeBSD 5.4 with a custom kernel on a Dell Inspiron 6000 - the Dell website only says SoundBlaster compatible for the sound card. Normal sound stuff works fine (though I can't hear the cd player, actually, now that I think of it...) but midi doesn't work: kmidi complains that /dev/sequencer is busy, but actually it doesn't exist, and neither does /dev/midi. I guess I need to enable midi in the kernel, but what device / options? device pcm device snd device seq device midi all give me unknown device errors at compile time: here's the relevent section of my kernel config file: device sound # generic sound driver: these added... device snd_ad1816 device snd_als4000 #device snd_au88x0 device snd_cmi device snd_cs4281 device snd_csa device snd_ds1 device snd_emu10k1 device snd_es137x device snd_ess device snd_fm801 device snd_gusc device snd_ich device snd_maestro device snd_maestro3 device snd_mss device snd_neomagic device snd_sb16 device snd_sb8 device snd_sbc device snd_solo device snd_t4dwave device snd_via8233 device snd_via82c686 device snd_vibes #device snd_vortex1 device snd_uaudio I'm sure I don't need all this stuff in there, but I haven't got round to experimenting with what I can take out.

What should I do? How are you booting the system to get to a prompt where you can issue the commands shown above? The first thing you probably need to do is examine dmesg output and see what disk devices are being detected at boot time. Then look in /dev and see if the entries you need are there or not. Also, one thing to keep in mind is that the bootloader only knows how to find the root file system when it's on the 'a' partition. Based on your fstab above, that would be /dev/ad1s2a. Assuming that's correct, what's on ad1s1? It would be helpful to see output from 'fdisk /dev/ad0' and 'fdisk /dev/ad1' if you can get it. Then depending on what slices are there, the corresponding bsdlabel output.

If I install the latter on the new amd64 machine (dump /restore) I will have a very fast machine (i386) which can build the packages for the main server too. HOW LONG will FreeBSD-4.11 be supported ?? It's at http://www.freebsd.org/security/ (estimated EOL - 31 Jan 2007. It's interesting that estimated EOL for 5.4 mentioned on the same page is earlier than that). -- Dmitry Mityugov, St. Petersburg, Russia I ignore all messages with confidentiality statements We live less by imagination than despite it - Rockwell Kent, N by E ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

But let see what happend, any information about i let you know Fischer see you. About this problem, yesterday a buy one new keyboard Genius with a lot of keys on it, i think 24, i really dont remember, but the case is that i install again xorg 6.8.2 on a fresh new 5.4 release install, without any buildworld or kernel, i think thats not really important to test my X system. The think is that i let my system instaling xorg from ports, on my P2, and this morning went i wake up and the installation finish with any errors. Them i setup my X system following the Handbook and went i run the server... My keyboard was working with the Xterm, i am really happy, i dont make to much test on it, because i have to work, but i dont see any problems, all my keys where display on the X system, today after work, i will install some Windows Manager and make the last test, if everything goes great, i will make the buildworld process. Fisher after some weeks, i see light, maybe was my standard 104 keyboard that dosent comunicate very well with the new driver kbd on xorg 6.8.2, because i was running xorg 6.8.2 on freebsd 5.2.1, but the problem here is that this release is not good, a lot of ports are broken, this way i invest on one new kbd and try this way, and is working. Hope, you already have working xorg 6.8.2. Thanks. Ok guys, finally someone from www.freebsdforums.org give a track about this problem, before he say that he was having the same problem with his keyboard and xorg 6.8.2 on freebsd 5.4, and he test the ports and packages, but before he build a custom kernel, and the keyboard dosent answer, them he test with the GENERIC kernel and the keyboard start working. Them this weekend i update my system to the lastest RELENG_5_4, buildworld + buildkernel(custom), xorg was already install form ports, and my keyboard wasnt answer, them i start from GENERIC and found that my keyboard start to work, them i start disabling kernel options, i build about 10 different kernels, and found that some options from sysco driver SC, was breaking the comunication between xorg and my kbd, this two: options SC_ALT_MOUSE_IMAGE options MAXCONS=8 This is the only options i disable from my custom kernel, right now is working, i hope maybe on Freebsd 6 this bug or i dont know how to call this will be fix.

FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE-p5 panics
I'm getting some panics on a few FreeBSD 5.4 boxes, and I'm trying to figure out a way to get them to drop to some sort of debugger, or to dump core. It used to be that you'd just add: options DDB options DDB_UNATTENDED and build a kernel with -g, set 'dumpon', and then when it paniced it would write it out to disk. For 5.4, I understand you also need options KDB, and you need to replace DDB_UNATTENDED with KDB_UNATTENDED. I've done all of that, but the panic did not trigger a core dump, and did not leave me at a prompt (the latter probably because of KDB_UNATTENDED?). The panic message, in the present case, in case someone's seen this particular problem before: Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode. cpuid = 01; apic id = 06 fault virtual address = 0x24 fault code = supervisor read, page not present instruction pointer = 0x8:0xc035c7cf stack pointer = 0x10:0xeb858c74 frame pointer = 0x10:0xeb858c88 code segment= base 0x0, limit 0xf, type 0x1b = DPL 0, pres 1, def32 1, gran 1 processor eflags= resume, IOPL equal 0 current process = 8 (pagedaemon) Would this sort of panic prevent a dump from occuring? BTW: I have checked the handbook and haven't found the answer (it doesn't seem to mention KDB at all). Unfortunately the kernel buffer appears insufficient to store all the output from boot -v, so I'm booting it with no flags. I've included the output of dmesg.

Cores and crashes on 4.X and 5.X
Hi, I previously posted a message about after upgrading to 5.3-RELEASE-p15 and getting random segfaults, or : /libexec/ld-elf.so.1: top: Shared object has no run-time symbol table I ran memtest on it for about 25 cycles, and it didn't show any problems. Its still happening, and I can't figure out why. It'll happen for a while then stop. Well, I just also upgraded a *DIFFERENT* computer to the RELENG_4 tree, and now I'm getting the same exact issues happening. (Infact, today I recompiled the kernel just incase and installed it, I had to installworld 6 times to get it to complete). On that matchine I ran memtest for 250 cycles with no problems. Whats worse, is I'm also getting panic's (I didn't save because of disk problems, will try next time) on the 4.X machine and having the text screen turn graphics all of a sudden. WHY, running the latest of 4 and 5 on different computers do I show the same type of problems DIRECTLY after upgrades? Any way to track this down... HELP!

Interresting thing:

I went in the fdisk section, selected the right disk, the right slice and

Then I choosed the Install the FreeBSD Boot Manager.
Now it works. It boots from the second disk.

Syncing disks, buffers remaining - value increases?
Sorry for all the questions to the list, we're having a number of issues deploying FreeBSD 5.4 and we're trying to get an understanding of what we're seeing. When I reboot these servers (using reboot on the command line), it will go through the usual routine I'm familiar with from FreeBSD 4.x, but when it goes to the syncing disks phase, sometimes it will do something like this: Syncing disks, buffers remaining ... 1 1 1 1 1 2 1 1 1 3 1 1 1 1 Eventually it gives up on 1 or so buffers. When the server comes back up, it gives warnings that the partitions were all improperly dismounted. Is it normal for the number of buffers remaining to actually increase while shutting down? I'm looking at the kernel source and the loop that performs these syncs appears pretty small. Could something else still be running on the server that is trying to write to disk, even while in the shutdown phase? I guess it would only be able to run interrupt threads, judging by the comments, while it releases Giant. It may be a coincidence, but on a few occasions, the background fsck may have still been running when the reboot was issued. I've assumed that since fsck now runs in the background that it must be able to gracefully handle reboots. FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE-p5, Dual proc Xeons (varying speed), varying memory, PAE+SMP kernels, 3ware RAID cards (varying capacity, RAID levels). ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

A LITTLE HELP??? If you still have FreeBSD installed, you can use boot0cfg -b /boot/mbr devicename to install a standard MBR onto the disk. If you don't have FreeBSD installed, the FreeBSD install disks have the ability to write a standard MBR as well, without needing to do a whole FreeBSD install. I don't recall exactly, but the general idea is to get into the slicing utility by choosing configure inside of the installer, and then you just proceed through the menus until you come to a menu titled Install Boot Manager. If you *really* insist on doing it from inside of Windows, then I'm sorry; you may have to ask in a Windows forum of some sort. FreeBSD folks don't necessarily know much about Windows.

If I use any command line utility to restore the boot manager, it doesnt
work.
If I use /stand/sysinstall, choose fdisk and Install the FreeBSD boot

DVD burning..
So far I'm having no luck so thought I'd post and ask for help :) FreeBSD 5.4, BenQ DVD burner, using DVD-R media. GENERIC kernel with ATAPICAM added. Built an iso with mkisofs, and can burn it out with burncd to CDR no problem (if 700MB or less or so, of course.) For DVD, built a 2GB .iso using the same mkisofs command.. mkisofs -o foo.iso -J -R filelist* 'cdrecord' seems completely crippled and I'm amazed no one has written a 'Free' version (no dependancy on getting key files that expire, or reliance on one person to generate them, etc.) Took me awhile to figure out how to get the key files going... but it now has what seems like a common problem -- it starts up, does the 'grace time', then Alarm clock and it stops before doing any work. So after a few hours of buggering around I gave up.. Installed the dvd tools to get growisofs since this seemed like the main alternative to cdrecord. (burncd didn't seem to like to burn DVDs, though I forget exactly its output.) growisofs seems to almost work, but breaks and is slow: growisofs -dvd-compat -speed=4 -Z /dev/cd0=buckdvd.iso That results in..

Shouldn't be needed, but if you're concerned, write enough sectors
to zero the start of {disk} and the start of {disk}s1 -- something
like 63+16; bs=100k maybe.
fdisk -BI ${disk}
Again, -B and -I don't sound like a good combo.
disklabel -B -w -r ${disk}s1 auto
You said you were running 5.4. AFAIK, there's no -w, -r, and no
auto. Other than that it looks fine. :) (But knowing the way some
developers think, they might have been removed from the manpage only.

newfs /dev/${disk}s1d
mount /dev/${disk}s1a ./mnt

Looks like you're dumping to a file named ./mnt/L. Does ./mnt
really have anything else in it after that restore?
-generique.disklabel file---
a: 4194304004.2BSD
b: 2097152 * swap
d: * *4.2BSD
Could be. Have it print out the resulting disklabel and see if looks
OK.
If I do the same with /stand/sysinstall in stead of
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/${disk} bs=1k count=1
fdisk -BI ${disk}
disklabel -B -w -r ${disk}s1 auto
It works well.
Could it be because it uses boot0cfg and you use fdisk?
(You haven't said whether you're telling sysinstall to install a
standard MBR or a FreeBSD MBR or none.)
If you're curious, you can dump the two main boot sectors
a readable file and compare the sysinstall version with the
fdisk version and /boot/mbr and /boot/boot0.

Do not use media statements to setup wireless parameters; this does
not work. You need to run wpa_supplicant and let it identify the
network and setup the key parameters.
How do I tell wpa_supplicant about the network media? I had found an
older post of yours regarding NOT doing it in dhclient.conf but
I've found no other way to accomplish it.
The above dhclient.conf lists media settings that are all handled by
wpa_supplicant so you don't specify any of them. Specifically you set
ssid, band, channel, and wep parameters; all these are handled by
wpa_supplicant.
ok... I removed the lines from dhclient.conf. I reboot, and run
wpa_supplicant manually with -d. The output is attached. My AP shows
up as , while my neighbors ssids are not hidden ('linksys' and
'default').
The intent is that dhclient deal only with the dhcp protocol and stop
being involved in the discovery and selection of wireless networks (a
job wpa_supplicant is better equipped to handle).
wpa_supplicant.conf
=
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=wheel
# Home Network
network={
ssid=home_ssid
scan_ssid=1
key_mgmt=NONE
wep_tx_keyidx=0
wep_key0=home_wepkey
}
# Office Network
network={
ssid=office_ssid
scan_ssid=1
key_mgmt=NONE
wep_tx_keyidx=0
wep_key0=office_wepkey
}
Not sure you need scan_ssid set, I'd leave it out.
If you have problems try disabling auto-startup of ath0 and run
wpa_supplicant by hand with the -d flag to see what it's doing.
Once that's going then enable startup in rc.conf. If you continue
to have problems provide the output wpa_supplicant -d -i ath0 -c
/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf (or similar) when you have trouble. There is
also a pending issue with locating some ap's that are setup to hide
their ssid. If one of the ap's is configured in this way contact me
directly--I've been trying to collect the info I need to identify
what's going on.
Both my APs (home and office) hide their ssids. One is a wrt54g
(home), the other is linksys as well... though I forget the model at
the moment (FWIW its a/b/g). What can I do to provide the info you
need?
These should work; I've had reports of problems with certain Cisco
ap's. Note however that configuring an ap to hide it's ssid adds no
real security.
I realize hidden ssids are of no real world use... but they keep *my*
neighbors out (you'll notice their ssids in the wpa_supp output).
Actually you can do just as well using mac acl's to restrict access.
Neither hidden ssid or mac acls are particularly useful except to keep
nuisance traffic out. Both can be trivially subverted; you need to go
to something like 802.1x or wpa for reasonable authentication of
stations (wpa-psk is inexpensive and easy to setup and is my preferred
method).
Understand that hidden ssid use comes at a price. Normally a station
will scan by sending a broadcast probe request frame on a channel and
listen for responses from all ap's. When an ap hides its ssid the
station must send a directed probe request frame for each ap that it
might be looking for. If you've got lots of ap's on the wire and/or
lots of ap's you're searching for your scan will take more time and soak
more air time. Given that it's trivial to passively monitor a network
and collect the ssid for an ap you can see why I suggest it's better to
use a mac acl if your intent is just to keep out naive users.

Any idea why my machine will never associate with my AP using
wpa_supplicant? Anything else I can provide that may shed some light? I
am using WEP... not WPA... could that part of the problem. Since WPA
was not previously supported I had been using WEP... and figured I'd
move up to WPA one step at a time.
All help is appreciated.
...stuff deleted...
The problem is that the current wpa_supplicant scanning code is pretty
simplistic. wpa_supplicant is a great bit of work but was written for
the least-common denominator device. When scanning it does not (yet)
handle ap's using hidden ssid except by deferring the work to the
operating system.

Do not use media statements to setup wireless parameters; this does
not work. You need to run wpa_supplicant and let it identify the
network and setup the key parameters.
How do I tell wpa_supplicant about the network media? I had found
an older post of yours regarding NOT doing it in dhclient.conf
but I've found no other way to accomplish it.
The above dhclient.conf lists media settings that are all handled by
wpa_supplicant so you don't specify any of them. Specifically you
set ssid, band, channel, and wep parameters; all these are handled by
wpa_supplicant.
ok... I removed the lines from dhclient.conf. I reboot, and run
wpa_supplicant manually with -d. The output is attached. My AP shows
up as , while my neighbors ssids are not hidden ('linksys' and
'default').
The intent is that dhclient deal only with the dhcp protocol and stop
being involved in the discovery and selection of wireless networks (a
job wpa_supplicant is better equipped to handle).
wpa_supplicant.conf
=
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=wheel
# Home Network
network={
ssid=home_ssid
scan_ssid=1
key_mgmt=NONE
wep_tx_keyidx=0
wep_key0=home_wepkey
}
# Office Network
network={
ssid=office_ssid
scan_ssid=1
key_mgmt=NONE
wep_tx_keyidx=0
wep_key0=office_wepkey
}
Not sure you need scan_ssid set, I'd leave it out.
If you have problems try disabling auto-startup of ath0 and run
wpa_supplicant by hand with the -d flag to see what it's doing.
Once that's going then enable startup in rc.conf. If you continue
to have problems provide the output wpa_supplicant -d -i ath0 -c
/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf (or similar) when you have trouble. There is
also a pending issue with locating some ap's that are setup to hide
their ssid. If one of the ap's is configured in this way contact
me directly--I've been trying to collect the info I need to
identify what's going on.
Both my APs (home and office) hide their ssids. One is a wrt54g
(home), the other is linksys as well... though I forget the model at
the moment (FWIW its a/b/g). What can I do to provide the info you
need?
These should work; I've had reports of problems with certain Cisco
ap's. Note however that configuring an ap to hide it's ssid adds no
real security.
I realize hidden ssids are of no real world use... but they keep *my*
neighbors out (you'll notice their ssids in the wpa_supp output).
Actually you can do just as well using mac acl's to restrict access.
Yes... I restrict those as well.
Neither hidden ssid or mac acls are particularly useful except to keep
nuisance traffic out. Both can be trivially subverted; you need to go
to something like 802.1x or wpa for reasonable authentication of
stations (wpa-psk is inexpensive and easy to setup and is my preferred
method).
I'm on my way to wpa+... just wanted to confirm I had things working in
their previously operational configuration (WEP was all that was
available at the time).
Understand that hidden ssid use comes at a price. Normally a station
will scan by sending a broadcast probe request frame on a channel and
listen for responses from all ap's. When an ap hides its ssid the
station must send a directed probe request frame for each ap that it
might be looking for. If you've got lots of ap's on the wire and/or
lots of ap's you're searching for your scan will take more time and soak
more air time. Given that it's trivial to passively monitor a network
and collect the ssid for an ap you can see why I suggest it's better to
use a mac acl if your intent is just to keep out naive users.
Noted. Thanks.

Wireless access points for FreeBSD 4.3?
Hi, I've been searching the web for compatible wireless access points for FreeBSD 4.3. As of yet I've been unsuccessful in finding any kind of list. However we do have the following base stations in our lab: D-Link DI-524 Netgear ME 102 MS MN-500 Is there any way I can configure my FreeBSD 4.3 server to see any one of these? The set-up is, my server and base station are connected to a wired network, and then I have a wireless client running on Red Hat Linux 9 contacting the server through the wireless access point. If the models are too new for 4.3, can you instead recommend access points that *are* compatible? Thanks in advance, Jamie __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

It may be the case that you want to bridge or NAT a wireless subnet onto your LAN, but you should consult your basestation's docs for how to do that; FreeBSD would use nothing but normal TCP/IP routing to the basestation. -- -Chuck ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
