RE: Dell PE1850 kernel panic
Chris, My experience with Dell is that in the past they have changed motherboard revisions and chips in the system, within the same model number. You have a situation here where you think you have 5 identical machines - well you need to start by making sure you really and truly do in fact have 5 identical machines. I would bet that once you start taking covers off and reading board revision numbers that you will find that you don't have identical machines, and that this is why some of them are working and others aren't. Also, you need to compare BIOS and firmware revisions and compare BIOS settings between all of them.

Here's an entry in Novell's bugzilla for a similar issue in Linux: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=144682 I believe the information is equally applicable to FreeBSD. To translate and summarize, ums(4) needs to learn to distinguish between IntelliMouse and IntelliMouse Explorer, becaue they have slightly different protocols; moused(8) already knows about this and handles it correctly, but only for PS/2 mice. DES DES, i'm not quite sure this is the source of my issue as i have no an intellimouse (pls see my original message). m. DES, Not sure if this issue has been worked out yet on your end, but if you're speaking strictly of firefox you can open up a browser window, type in about:config in the browser location bar, then type in middle for your filter, find the option that says loadContentURL and set it to false. It's an annoying setting for all X11 people (since middle mouse button stuff is devoted as pasting for some odd reason), but I guess that was thought to be a useful option by the Mozilla people for some odd reason. Turning it off will disable the seemingly random google searching/url loading. Also, the ZAxismapping thing helps define layout for the mouse buttons. Depending on what order you choose, your behavior of your mouse will differ. Loading up xev will help you catch events for your mouse and determine what button is what on your intellimouse, then properly map the buttons to match any desired behavior you have. For instance, I have a 5 button intellimouse right now and the button mapping in Gentoo for ZAxisMapping is 4 5; however, when I did have a 7 button intellimouse, the AFAIK the line was for ZAxisMapping was 6 7 4 5. The protocol used in xorg.conf for both cases is ExplorerPS/2, because the other protocol mappings did not work as well for me for some odd reason. These ZAxisMapping settings combined with xmodmap and the imwheel daemon, a third-party program for capturing mouse events (which is only required in Linux and not FreeBSD IIRC), allows me to use the forward and back buttons in firefox and thunderbird, which is all of the functionality that I really want with my extra mouse buttons. There are plenty of documents out there to help you configure your intellimouse, mostly in the Gentoo world because it seems like more of that crowd has had problems with setting up their intellimice ;). Please note that not all items in howtos and help documents will apply to FreeBSD if you look at Gentoo items though...

You could do the install on the smaller disk first, or you could make ad10s1 smaller. Okay, I did this. But I'm still interested in the topic. The size of a hard drive is determined by the manufacturer. It depends on how many sectors, heads and cylinders present in the device. The actual available size can be smaller because of bad sectors on the disc. But the BIOS (or FreeBSD) should detect the full size, including all sectors. These devices are identical. Then how in the hell could it add one more MB to the second device? I presume if I swap drives between ata4-master and ata5-master then still ad10 would be bigger. Is this a bug in FreeBSD?

The logo discussion
I've just fought my way through the logo discussion of the past few days. Here's my impression in a nutshell: - I don't like the logo either. - I don't spend all my time bitching about it. - I don't discuss it in violation of list charter on a mailing list intended for technical questions. - I don't understand why people who don't contribute to the project think they have a right to choose a project logo. - I used to answer many questions on this mailing list. Recently people have been hijacking it for purposes of penis size comparison. This doesn't make me feel very inclined to answer messages on the list, and it shows. So, people, how about sticking to the charter and discussing technical things on this list? If you want to discuss the logo, join the advocacy@ mailing list and discuss things there, where you're not annoying the majority of the subscribers. Then I and others like me might find more time to answer questions. Greg -- When replying to this message, please copy the original recipients.

RE: New FreeBSD logo
Sorry to be jumping into this late. On 15 May 2006 at 8:57, Ted Mittelstaedt [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: No, you get to vote on the selection of various bits of code changes. That sounds more realistic to me than assuming committers are also the sole FreeBSD esthetic committee too. But no amount of your voting is going to instantly change the recognized logo of FreeBSD from Beastie to the sex-toy. Ranting on questions has far more ability to make or break use of the sex-toy logo by the FreeBSD userbase than voting on current. I must admit that logo seemed a bit strange to me when I saw it on the website. Sorta cold and a bit too abstract for my taste. It reminds me of what Mozilla did with their dragon - removed it from the browser's splash-screen because some minority of people thought it was demonic or evil or something. So sad. I think people need to get over themselves and personally I think the beastie is nicely irreverent and has a palpable personality one can relate to, especially since you can be sure that very few gargantuan publicly-held companies would ever get away with using something similiar.

Chad, since your going to be bullheaded (espically considering you participated in all of these threads) here's some more, from folks that I think satisfy your requirements for official capacity. These are from the threads that are still present in the archives, there is one thread titled please don't change Beastie to another crap logo such as NetBSD that had a lot of more goodies in it, but I've been unable to find it. (maybe it got stripped out from the archives, who knows?): http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=2773426+0+archive/2005/freeb sd-questions/20050213.freebsd-questions ...The leaked document in its initial form mentioned *replacing* the FreeBSD daemon.

It compared the Beastie to using Osama Bin Laden as the FreeBSD logo, and was CC'd to my company and research sponsors... Anyway, The information is out there if you care to dig for it, and I didn't even cheat by looking on the committers archives mailing list. The fact is that the religious significance of Beastie and reaction to that coloring perception of FreeBSD, was a main driving point for a lot of people to replacing Beastie as the logo, and the core group knew that if they mentioned this it would cause a huge backlash, a lot worse than what it did cause as it is, so pains were taken to strip out official mention that religion was playing a part. For anyone who really cares, a -complete- read of the major threads in questions and advocacy, on this topic, is the only way to get the clear picture. (it's not a pretty one) Interestingly, while there were as you would expect, calls in -questions to shift the thread to -advocacy based on appropriateness, there were -also- calls to shift the thread from -advocacy to elsewhere, based on appropriateness. In other words, one of the tellales in a discussion group that your pulling back the carpet on some nasty things that some folks are embarassed they are doing, is the appearance of calls to move the discussion to a different list.

All you need to do is replace zsh provided format strings to that of
similar bash escape sequences. For example, zsh '%n' (for
username) corresponds to bash '\u', '%~' to '\w', and so on.
I personally put the color, bold, normal, etc. sequences in a
separate file, which is sourced inside the file setting prompt.
That gives less of gobbledygook to parse. For zsh, i have somewhere

Hey Parv!
This sounds truly fabulous man,
I guess there's no need for me to switch to bash after all :)
But like in the case of:
local Normal=[0m
What's with that weird character?
Thanks!

mplayer (from CVS) win32/wmvadvd.dll
Hello, I'm trying to play a stream with mplayer from $ mplayer mms://80.84.129.169/telesur45 The stream needs the newer video codecs Windows Media Video 9 Advanced which comes from the (Windows) DLL wmvadvd.dll. Of course, it did not work out of the box with the version in the 6.0-REL port of mplayer and the mplayer folks directed me to fetch the current from their CVS. I did so, compiled it and now I'm already able to play the audio from the stream but the codecs for video from wmvadvd.dll does not work. The mplayer folks claime that it works for them with exactly the CVS version on *Linux*, ie. they tested the above stream and both, video and audio, are fine. So I digged into the sources to get why it says 'Unsupported WMVA version' and it turned out that they map somehow the above DLL in memory and awaiting there at special offsets some code or whatever, which does not match and so they can't use the DLL. The c-file which does the mapping of the DLL to memory (loader/pe_image.c) has a comment saying: /* Notes: * Before you start changing something in this file be aware of the following: * * - There are several functions called recursively. In a very subtle and * obscure way. DLLs can reference each other recursively etc. * - If you want to enhance, speed up or clean up something in here, think * twice WHY it is implemented in that strange way. There is usually a reason. * Though sometimes it might just be lazyness ;) * - In PE_MapImage, right before fixup_imports() all external and internal * state MUST be correct since this function can be called with the SAME image * AGAIN. (Thats recursion for you.) That means MODREF.module and * NE_MODULE.module32. * - Sometimes, we can't use Linux mmap() to mmap() the images directly. * * The problem is, that there is not direct 1:1 mapping from a diskimage and * a memoryimage. The headers at the start are mapped linear, but the sections * are not. Older x86 pe binaries are 512 byte aligned in file and 4096 byte * aligned in memory. Linux likes them 4096 byte aligned in memory (due to * x86 pagesize, this cannot be fixed without a rather large kernel rewrite) * and 'blocksize' file-aligned (offsets). Since we have 512/1024/2048 (CDROM) * and other byte blocksizes, we can't always do this. We *can* do this for * newer pe binaries produced by MSVC 5 and later, since they are also aligned * to 4096 byte boundaries on disk. */ This let me some how thinking that there could be a missmatch between Linux and FreeBSD. Without deeper knowledge about how these DLLs are working I am lost here :-(( Has someone a comment on it? Can someone with a CVS version of mplayer try the above stream to ensure that it is not a local problem in my compilation? Any other idea?

I can configure an IP address on the BMC, but that's obviously different than the DRAC. Before, when I tried to configure an IP on the BMC, I couldn't see any IP info for it at all in the system. Couldn't ping it, couldn't see a mac address for it, nothing so I wasn't sure if the BMC networking portion would work without the DRAC or not. BMC == IPMI, correct? IPMI and DRAC are separate and independent. I don't think you can use the same IP address for both, although I've never tried. I don't think Dell's BMC responds to pings, but I could be wrong. If, by saying in the system you mean that you're checking ifconfig, then you're not _going_ to see it there, as the hardware handles it and FreeBSD is unaware that it's going on. Install ipmitool and use it to access IPMI over the network. I tried that too, but based on above, I couldn't get the BMC to be seen on the network. Sounds like a more Dell-specific issue to me. Work within their framework (I think they have Windows-based tools) until you can contact IPMI via the network, then I'm betting you'll be able to contact it with ipmitool. We have a central machine that monitors all our servers via a Nagios plugin to ipmitool. I can't offer any advice on getting OpenIPMI working. Is there a particular benefit to OpenIPMI vs. FreeIPMI? I have no idea. We don't use either. I'm still a little fuzzy on the IP capabilities of IPMI vs DRAC. There really is no vs.. Both IPMI and DRAC are accessible over an IP network. During the BIOS boot, you'll have menus available for configuring both. You can enable one, the other, or both, or neither. They are two different technologies intended to serve two different purposes, but there is some overlap in their capabilities. DRAC provides a web interface for monitoring and control. DRAC includes a console over IP feature that is probably its greatest strength. IPMI is it's own protocol, thus anyone with an itching can write a client to access the IPMI data or send IPMI commands. IPMI doesn't have console capability. Both allow monitoring of hardware sensors. -- Bill Moran Collaborative Fusion Inc. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

6.1 'No kernel found' after install
Hey everyone, I downloaded FreeBSD 6.1 yesterday, ensured the checksum was correct, and promptly expanded the ISO onto a CD. After seemingly successfully installing it onto a box (I have several other of these exact machines running 5 and 6.0), after reboot, it claims it can't find the kernel. I've ls'd pretty much all of the directories on the hard disk, and sure enough, it doesn't appear the kernel was installed. (I performed the install 4 times to be sure). The only really relevant thing I found whilst searching was this: http://www.vmware.com/community/thread.jspa?messageID=400340tstart=0 ...however, to my best knowledge, I did only do a minimum install. Again, the setup is exactly the same as several other machines, I can provide details if they may help. One thing that may be relevant is that I'm running with the 'ar' driver for a Promise RAID-1 config. Again, this setup works with the exact same installation technique under 6.

The php5 port is broken. The port's distro file contains incorrect size hash's. Delete the ports distro file and do make config to get options screen. Only option that should be on is the create apache module option. Then do make install clean Since this problem was reported to the ports group last week the port config files may have been fix already.

RE: phpMyAdmin Question from user
The phpMyAdmin package is broken in Freebsd 6.1 because the pdflib dependent in the port is broken. You have to run the port version of phpMyAdmin. First do a port make config and disable all the options. You will see pdflib as one of those. Then do make install clean and it will build just fine. Please submit bug PR so ports group will see it needs attention. This problem is conponded even more because phpMyAdmin defaults to using php4 and mysql4. If you install mysql5 package first then phpMyAdmin will use it over mysql4. phpMyAdmin also defaults to using php4 which is also broken. So follow the instruction in the post on this list about php4/php5 not working. Followed by phpMyAdmin and then phpMyAdmin will use php5. In 6.0 the php4/php5 packages are not broken. Just the phpMyAdmin port/package is which can be worked around as said above. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Николай Пашин Sent: Wednesday, May 17, 2006 4:13 AM To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.org Subject: Question from user Good afternoon!

FW: 6.1 'No kernel found' after install

Thanks for the reply. Interesting, prior to this release, I just breezed through the screens after selecting standard install, and it must of always selected a minimal install by default without any interaction. Prior, I would not install any distribution sets, ports or the like until after the reboot. In 6.1, I actually had to scroll down and select minimal install. I find it strange that it wouldn't install the 'bare minimum' by default, without having to select the 'minimum' entry. Anyway, I'm all up and running now. Tks!

Re: Questions about monitoring Dell servers
Well, I managed to sort it out. The grey area was that the Dell BMC just needed an IP, username and password configured on it. I was under the mistaken impression that the OpenIPMI needed to be installed to speak the BMC, but ipmitools does that just fine. Between the BMC and megarc for the raid status, I have everything I need! Well, with the exception of SNMP traps -- still haven't figured out how to set the trap host and community, but if worst comes to worst, I can use used net-snmp and use the exec options in snmpd.conf.

Re: Converting a zsh prompt to bash

local b1=01;31m
local b2=22;31m

Note that zsh provides symbolic variables for color setting:
autoload -U colors
colors
echo $fg[blue]$bg[red]blue on red!
so you don't have to memorize the numbers. See the zshcontrib manpage,
OTHER FUNCTIONS section.
If the only difference between your root prompt is color, you can also
just set a1,a2,a3 to different values within your if block, then set
PROMPT outside of it.
if [[ $USER == root ]] ; then
a1=%{$fg[cyan]$bg[black]}
else
a1=%{$fg[red]}$bg[black]}

You could do the install on the smaller disk first, or you could make ad10s1 smaller. Okay, I did this. But I'm still interested in the topic. The size of a hard drive is determined by the manufacturer. It depends on how many sectors, heads and cylinders present in the device. The actual available size can be smaller because of bad sectors on the disc. But the BIOS (or FreeBSD) should detect the full size, including all sectors. These devices are identical. Then how in the hell could it add one more MB to the second device? I presume if I swap drives between ata4-master and ata5-master then still ad10 would be bigger. Is this a bug in FreeBSD? Laszlo Hi Laszlo, No bugs; I think this is normal. Both the BIOS and the OS are only going to see the blocks the hard drive thinks are useable. Even though the drive geometry is fictitious, most people still recommend defining your slices to begin and end on cylinder boundaries. I assume this makes accessing blocks in the slice a few nanoseconds faster, but I'm actually not sure. Perhaps someone on the list knows more detail. In any case, if you do this for as10s1 gmirror will replicate this property to the other disk. You'll also most likely have a few blocks left over. As for units of MB, I'm not sure. Could be rounding. Can we assume your gmirror is now working?

The answer is probably that you upgraded from a previous branch of FreeBSD (e.g. 4.x - 6.x) but neglected to rebuild all your installed ports, so they now have an inconsistent mix of old and new libraries. portupgrade -af or similar to repair the damage.

Is there a method to not probe certain devices at startup?
Hi, I have a FreeBSD 4.11 box (monowall, actually) that has apparently had a bit of a crisis with its USB controller hardware.

The first thing you need to realize it that FreeBSD is not LINUX or any flavor or 'distro' of LINUX. FreeBSD is a complete operating system that had its birthing in the BSD (Berkley) UNIX in the wee early days of UNIX. Check on the http://www.freebsd.org/ web site for more information. Second, FreeBSD is a complete OS and as such can talk to modems and nic cards, and most other peripherals. The information is on the FreeBSD web site. FreeBSD is a superior free UNIX.

From man fclose:
The fclose() function does not handle NULL arguments; they will result in
a segmentation violation. This is intentional - it makes it easier to
make sure programs written under FreeBSD are bug free. This behaviour is
an implementation detail, and programs should not rely upon it.
Good catch.
