USB Keyboards (media keys)
I'm sure this has been asked before, but I'd love to know the answer :) I have a Saitek USB keyboard. It has just 3 additional media keys. I have tried xev, xkeybind, etc and can not get a response from any of the keys. Aside from these three keys returning nothing at all, the keyboard works fine. They keys are volume down, up and mute. All keys I would love to get working in Gnome 2.14.x I know with my old keyboard, when using it in usb mode none of the media keys worked on it either, but if I put the PS2 adapter on, they all worked. Is this a problem with FreeBSD's USB support for keyboards, or am I missing something simple? Any help would be appreciated. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Need help restoring from filesystem failure
Hi to all, I'm running 6.1 release compiled from source. For a half of june it run smoothly. But then somehow I got a filesystem crash - it just refused to start after reaching fstab mounts, saying that fs (/data) was not properly dismounted: ... WARNING: /data was not properly dismounted /data: bad dir ino 2 at offset 16384: mangled entry panic: ufs_dir_bad: bad dir ... I rebooted in single user mode and run fsck -f on each filesystem. All but one were clean. I agreed on automatic correction suggested by fsck (shame on me, I do not remember what the message was about). Fsck applied suggested change and marked fs as clean. Then I tried to mount the fs: mount /dev/ad0s1f /data Instead I got complains about not properly dismounting and page fault while at kernel mode (page not present). I run fsck one more time (it didn't find any problem this time) and rebooted the system. The first problem showed up. Now I have vicious circle: mangled entry and page fault. Is there any way to correct the problem? I was not so excited if it had been /var or even /usr, but it was /data with all of my personal projects and I do not have backups!!!

Yeah, megarc does have possibly the worst interface I've seen in quite a
long time. Allegedly the Linux monitoring tools for these adapters will
work with 6.1, although I haven't tried this myself yet.
I've attached a couple of scripts I use for monitoring amr(4) adapters.
One (amr-check-status) is run hourly from crontab to alert of any change
in drive or array status. The other (700.amr-status) is a daily periodic
script. They could be extended to grovel through the megarc output to
figure out what adapters you have rather than just hardcoding the unit
numbers, but that seemed like more pain that it was worth (and I don't
have any machines with more than one adapter!) BTW, the '^M' in the
amr-check-status script is a real Control-M character, and there are
embedded tabs in a couple of the egrep patterns, in case those get lost
in transit.
Cheers,
Scott

Re: Regarding Fujitsu Siemens Primergy RX220 AMD64.
Mattias Björk [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Hi List members, Have recently acquired me an Fujitsu Siemens Primergy RX220 AMD64. Everything works fine except one thing, the build in dual broadcom 5780 NIC. I see that 6.1 does not support that hardware according to http://www.freebsd.org/releases/6.1R/hardware-amd64.html. I thought that freebsd-questions@freebsd.org was a better choice of sending the mail to than [EMAIL PROTECTED] But I might be wrong here. Anyhow I have two questions more or less: Has anybody succeed in getting it to work and do you have a patch for it? (Should I try out stable branch instead of 6.1 Release?) I everything else fails could you recommend a NIC that works with FreeBSD and is dual Gigabit. Im thinking of an Intel Pro/1000 MT DP Server or Intel Pro/1000PT Dual Port Server Adapter PCI-E how ever the later I could not find on http://www.freebsd.org/releases/6.1R/hardware-amd64.html. But if you check it up on Intel's homepage it mentions that FreeBSD is support but that is rater vague description on with arch its supported on. (If I'm not missing something that is) Hopefully support for the broadcom 5780-chipset is right around the corner. The CPU architecture shouldn't make any difference for these adapters, so don't worry too much about that. The 5780 support doesn't look like it should be that hard; PR 68351 seems to have just gotten some patches that may do it. NetBSD's support should be easy to port in any case. The Intel Pro/1000PT has an 82572 controller. That is supported by the em device, so you should be fine with that. The other Intel card you mention I think is in the same driver as well. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
rndc reload: connection to remote host closed
Hello! I just tried reloading my nameserver after adding a new domain. Then this happened: # rndc reload rndc: connection to remote host closed This may indicate that the remote server is using an older version of the command protocol, this host is not authorized to connect, or the key is invalid. I've tried using rndc-confgen to create a new rndc.key, as well as rndc.conf and references in named.conf, but still this problem persists. I've been using my nameserver setup for months and it's all been working smooth. I've made no incremental changes that would result in this thing either, so I'm really confused.

We're probably dealing with several simultaneous failures that need to be worked out. That's the conclusion I'm coming to as well. My sense so far is that most of the issues stem from the new cups trying to do as little as possible as root and from other pieces assuming / requiring that they will be run as root. Obviously the /dev/ulpt permissions thing is a result of this. Another case in point is the cups-pdf backend. It stopped working after the cups upgrade until I made it setuid root. FWIW, cups is working with an Epson 777 and the gimp-print drivers using /dev/unlpt0. It seems to work as well as it did before once I got the permissions issue worked out. Good deal.

Looking at Dell's web site, the PowerEdge has an optional Remote Access Controller that will it *sounds* like will give me similar functionality as HPs iLO ... But, I've heard bad things about their 'desktop offerings', and am not sure if that follows through to their Servers ... So, I'm kinda looking for both good, and bad, experiences with the PowerEdge stuff ... anyone with opinions? Thx ... Hi Marc, My experience with Dell hardware and support goes back to the year 2000. As a systems administrator, I can only speak for their server products, not their desktop products. The short story is: Stay away from Dell. Their hardware is of low quality and poor construction. Their enterprise support is by far THE lowest quality I've ever had to deal with. Light years away from Sun, IBM or HP support. The long story is that the machine's parts are of poor manufacturing. They bend, break and snap if you're not very carefull in handling them. The documentation that comes with the machines is far from complete. I've done a test by installing an IBM x346 sitting next to a Dell PowerEdge 2850 and a Sun Fire X4200. You can clearly see that the IBM and the Sun are of superior quality. All the parts are clearly labeled, there is extensive maintenance documentation on the casing and the parts are sturdy and solid. Compared to the Dell which has flimsy bits of plastic hanging loose, internal cabling has to pass over heat-sinks and fans and there is close to zero documentation on the casing. Also, to remove the casing on the IBM and Sun machines, you have well built latches which makes the whole thing snap into place without any screws. While the Dell machine has an awkward metal casing with sharp edges and requires three screws. All in all, working with a Dell machine is a nightmare compared to working with IBM or Sun hardware. That's on the low end machines. Dell does not offer high end machines such as the Sun Fire E25K Server or the IBM eServer p5 595. Granted that not everyone needs such big machines, but almost any corporation will need more then 4 CPU machines one day, an area in which Dell is not present. Therefore, you're forced to change hardware when you need to scale up. That's for the hardware. Now, let's talk support. In several years, I've had to place numerous support calls to IBM, Sun, HP, Veritas, Hitachi, EMC and Brocade. In all of them, the call was handled by a single phone call, my problem was quickly found and either a person, a part or a patch was sent or advised to fix it. At Dell, I often had to make two, three and even four different calls to talk to someone. One time, that someone didn't even know we had a support contract. Worse, the phone number on the support contract was invalid! More often then not, the Dell techs are not properly trained on the hardware and have close to zero knowledge of actual systems maintenance. Of course, our IT staff was not happy with the quality of support from Dell (or lack of..) So we had Dell's Head of Canadian Support in to discuss this. His suggestion was that we pay more for the platinum support. It's pathetic, really. In the end you get what you pay for. Dell is cheaper of course. But when you add up the downtime caused by broken parts, the time you lose answering is the server powered-on dump support questions and the poor reliability you get out of Dell machines, the ROI is not as nice as it looked compared to Sun, IBM or HP. Finally, the HP iLO you appreciate is also present in the IBM and Sun machines with a lot more features then Dell's. Of course, YMMV. But IMHO, if you're planning on doing serious work in an enterprise, stay clear of Dell and go for Sun, IBM or HP.

Re: Need urgent help to get Sendmail running again
You email didn't state if you rebuilt sendmail too, when you rebuilt world. This is an option in /etc/make.conf. The current sendmail is 8.13.7 so you may not have rebuilt sendmail. The logs show that you are not able to authenticate to localhost, but your email didn't state how you have sendmail configured to do authentication. I have seen this error a number of times, when the authentication you have configured in your .cf files is not matched by the sendmail compiler flags. Also in /etc/make.conf you should have any special sendmail compile options. -Derek At 08:41 AM 6/26/2006, Andreas Widerøe Andersen wrote: Hi, I had a recent downtime on the mailserver I'm running due to remote location and trouble with upgrading FreeBSD.

Re: Monitoring Server Health
I use bigsister, which is in the ports. Bigsister trys to use snmp and to be non-invasive. However, any monitoring comes with some overhead. On the good side bigsister is cross-platform and can be used on Windows servers as well as FreeBSD (and other 'NIXs too.)Bigsister can be configured on a server by server basis for what you want to monitor, to limit any overheard you can. You can also configure bigsister to store the data in a database such as mysql for more detailed analysis.

However, our support experience may be artificially enhanced compared to others because we buy off a large govt. contract. We do not talk to the same support group that most other posters have grumbled about. That said, our overall experience with Dell support has actually been as good or better than with many other vendors. From time to time we're confronted with a 1st tier non-help desk operator (scripted responses, incapable of deviating from script or otherwise actually helping), but we find that it's not too difficult to escalate around those individuals and actually get help. I've been more than a little surprised to hear the uniformly negative reports on Dell hardware and support. Since they've been from people who have loads more experience than I have, I tend to respect them. However, I have to agree wtih Greg, our experience has been uniformly positive. Personally I only admin a handful of boxes, but they're mostly Dells with a couple of Sun's running AMD64 processors. I haven't noticed any appreciable difference in the layout or labeling, but perhaps my eye isn't as keen as some who've handled hundreds and hundreds of machines. One thing I do know is Dell's first tier support for servers is worthless, but as Greg says, you just need to establish that you know what you're doing, and you can bypass them. However, if you're running a big shop, maybe Dell should be avoided. We only have a little over a hundred or so, mostly running Windows.

Re: Need urgent help to get Sendmail running again
Why is the server trying to connect to localhost, anyway? Did you do special configuration in order to have Sendmail deliver mail to 127.0.0.1 as part of your (former) configuration with Spamassassin? If so, did you undo these statements so that Sendmail would now deliver normally? Not quite sure actually, but the mails are generated from a php forum on this server. However, I got sendmail running and the server is receiving mails again. I compiled sendmail one more time with some new DAEMON settings I didn't have and that did it.

Now, the firmware fails to load so I cannot connect. I did some searching and some people recommend installing iwi-firmware-kmod. When I try to do so, it is marked as ignored and is uninstallable. Another suggestion is to use code in /usr/src/sys/dev/iwi but I don't see a make file and I haven't a clue on what to do with that code anyway. Does anyone know what I need to do to get this nic working again? #uname -a 6.1-STABLE FreeBSD 6.1-STABLE #1: Wed Jun 7 03:18:16 PDT 2006 Can you be more precise about what goes wrong? http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/freebsd-questions/index.html I also suspect that you would have better luck installing the ports if you updated your ports tree. But that's just a guess. Are you using iwi-firmware from ports? there seems to be a perfectly working driver, # kldload if_iwi That's what people suggest you to compile from sys/dev/iwi, but it's also a loadable as kernel module. If it is not installed in /boot/kernel, then it will also be built with the normal kernel build proceedure. Sorry for the lack of details. Sleep deprivation and hardware troubleshooting shouldn't be mixed. Previously, I was using the iwi-firmware port rather successfully, based on this webpage http://damien.bergamini.free.fr/ipw/iwi-freebsd.html At the moment, I do have the device listed under ifconfig iwi0 but I cannot associate with my AP. When I go to do a iwicontrol -i iwi0 -d /boot/firmware/if_iwi -m bss I currently get an error message in the /var/log/messages (sorry, can't access the machine to get the message) but I think it was something about the device timing out. Checking the help files for the error messages states the the error message should not happen. When I did the searching, several posts mentioned that iwi-firmware didn't work for them on 6.1 when it had on previous versions. Later I can update my ports to see if iwi-firmware-kmod now has the ignore setting removed, but according to http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/net/iwi-firmware-kmod/ the port hasn't been touched in about 2 months (unless I am reading something wrong). To sorta summarize, these are example steps that I used to take to get on wireless: iwicontrol -i iwi0 -d /boot/firmware/if_iwi -m bss ifconfig iwi0 up wpa_supplicant (args) dhclient iwi0 But now, the first step fails. The device is still present under ifconfig though. My world/kernel is only a couple weeks old, perhaps I cvsup'ed at exactly the wrong time (during some commit)? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

aware of. The only change at all that I've recently made, is that I
switch shells on the remote box (to zsh). I tried changing back to bash,
(my original setup), and the problem persists.
The permissions for sshd are:
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 168488 May 6 22:58 /usr/sbin/sshd
which looks correct to me. I really haven't a clue where to begin with
this one, besides a backup and re-install, which is an option, but is
also a rather large pain.
Suggestions?
Truss o strace down the SSH daemon to see what the underlying problem
for error: Failed to allocate... really is.

Hello,
I've restarted SSHD with LogLevel DEBUG, which did not produce any new
information; just gives the same error message (in /var/log/messages) as
before. I'm not sure how interested you are in this particular problem,
but I've attached the output from truss. The complete session that I
recorded using truss is as follows:
1. start truss on SSH server truss -f -p $PID - sshd-log.txt
2. login via SSH ssh -X $hostname
3. attempt to start an X application rhythmbox
4. logout
If you need any more info, or have other suggestions, please let me
know.
Thanks for your help!

I'm really sorry to ask over here, but sick and tired browsing and asking around. I'm on latest FreeBSD 6.1R latest KDE and latest firefox 1.5.3 I cannot find the flash plugins for Konqueror because no more port for it, (linux-flashplgin6) So i have installed Firefox, now i'm lost, which in port is the flash plugin? I have linux-flashplugin7 installed, linuxpluginwrapper, looks ok $ pkg_info | grep -i flash pkg_info | grep -i firefox linux-flashplugin-7.0r63 The official Macromedia Flash Player for Linux Mozilla firefox-1.5.0.3,1 Web browser based on the browser portion of Mozilla firefox-remote-20040803 Wrapper scripts for firefox web browser But flash still not workin in firefox, i dont know what to do now? Will someone kindly guied me for this? how to install flash, for firefox? and enable it. from someone else's kind instructions, which worked great for me: - modify your libmap.conf , following what is shown in what /usr/local/share/examples/linuxpluginwrapper/libmap.conf-FreeBSD6 - Finally edit /usr/X11R6/lib/firefox/run-mozilla.sh and add /usr/X11R6/lib/linux-flashplugin6 to MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH (near the end of the script) (colon-separated path components) - path your kernel: Please get and apply a dlsym(3) hook patch (apply in /usr/src ; then cd libexec/rtld-elf and do make rtld) http://people.FreeBSD.org/~nork/*rtld_dlsym_hack.diff* http://people.FreeBSD.org/%7Enork/rtld_dlsym_hack.diff This provides _dlsym(3) function to fix dynamic-link error can't find gtk_major_version ad-hoc-ly. $cd /usr/src $fetch http://people.FreeBSD.org/~nork/*rtld_dlsym_hack.diff* http://people.FreeBSD.org/%7Enork/rtld_dlsym_hack.diff $patch *rtld_dlsym_hack.diff* $ cd libexec/rtld-elf $sudo make rtld $ sudo make install Also How to install java? on firefox? it would be my next step. Is there by any chance away to run flash for Konqueror? or better to delete this package if im having firefox? i dont know, dont use kde. good luck, Beto I have followed all of the instructions for patching the src (from above), and firefox still crashes with the error: /libexec/ld-elf.so.1: /usr/local/lib/pluginwrapper/flash7.so: Undefined symbol _dlsym when a flash page is loaded.
