Re: Upgrading Xorg from 6 to 7

2007-08-19 Thread Bahman M.
 I have just read the UPDATING file and realized that this is something
 that have so many possibilities of going horribly wrong that it most
 certanly will. Thus I want another option.

 Would it be possible to deinstall every port that relates to Xorg 6 and
 install Xorg 7 as if X never existed?

 Anyone care to tell me if pkg_delete xorg* would do, or if there's a
 better way?
I just upgraded Xorg to 7.2 and what I did was reinstalling a fresh
minimal (just the base system) FreeBSD, updating my ports (portsnap)
and then 'make' Xorg.
It took me quite some time though, but if you have a fast internet
connection that'll be no problem.
By the way, I didn't lost any data as I'd created separate partitions
for important directories.

failed to create swap_zone 6.2-STABLE SMP Kernel

2007-08-19 Thread Tim Daneliuk

I note that this problem has appeared in the past and am wondering
if there is a resolution:

Running 6.2-STABLE on a machine that ran 4.11 flawlessly.  I am seeing the
message failed to create swap_zone right after the 2nd CPU gets
enabled on a Dell PowerEdge 1300.  The system blows out and reboots
therafter.  This same configuration works fine on a more modern Intel
MOBO with a Pentium D, so I'm guessing the problem is hardware dependent.
Booting a generic kernel works fine on the PowerEdge.

The source code is latest STABLE as of earlier today.

Has anyone else seen this and/or is there a workaround?

My exact kernel config is:

include SMP

options IPFIREWALL
options IPDIVERT

options VESA

# System console options

options SC_DISABLE_REBOOT   # disable reboot key sequence
options SC_HISTORY_SIZE=200 # number of history buffer lines
options SC_PIXEL_MODE   # add support for the raster text mode

# The following options will change the default colors of syscons.

options SC_NORM_ATTR=(FG_GREEN|BG_BLACK)
options SC_NORM_REV_ATTR=(FG_YELLOW|BG_GREEN)
options SC_KERNEL_CONS_ATTR=(FG_RED|BG_BLACK)
options SC_KERNEL_CONS_REV_ATTR=(FG_BLACK|BG_RED)

isc-dhcp3-server and windows 2000 connectivity issues

2007-08-19 Thread Joe
Hello, 

   I recently installed FreeBSD 6.2 on a machine and setup dhcp and I am having 
connectivity problems with the most recent isc-dhcp3-server.  I cvsup'd and 
buildworld/installworld/ kernel and all works except dhcpd.

   Well it works and my FreeBSD clients can get IP addresses, but my windows 
machines cannot.  Windows 2k in paricular.

   I have an old install, with an older dhcp install and I can use that binary 
and everything works fine.  Both binaries say they are V3.0.5, but I cannot 
tell the subversions of them.

I have no idea what is going on here.  It seems one binary works but the 
other does not.  I have run tcpdump and I see the broadcast message in from the 
client, and then I see the reply going out from the client.  How do tell if the 
reply went out?  I know it is not a firewall issue, otherwise neither binary 
should work.  

   Is there some other change that made it in?  This seems to be a windows 
issue, in particular windows 2k, but only with this one binary.  

Thanks, 
Joe

In my opinion, this calls for an fsck in single user mode.  Unfortunately, I 

no. i just said what it said. and then fsck did it's job.

if you yse background fsck, make sure it checked partitions other than / 
well.


if fsck can't check / on automatic mode it would drop to single user.


it's not linux, if hardware is not broken filesystem will be in good

Re: fsck of large volume with small memory

2007-08-19 Thread Wojciech Puchar

Hi all

Is there any possibillity to fsck a 1.2 TB 40% filled volume with a
machine that has not that much memory, in this case only 1.5 GB.

The fsck gives me a friendly

# fsck /dev/da1
** /dev/da1
** Last Mounted on /fileserver
** Phase 1 - Check Blocks and Sizes
fsck_ufs: cannot alloc 4290901164 bytes for inoinfo

and quits.



quite a lot of memory. on i386 you simply can't allocate 4GB VM.

but i have larger volumes without problems.

what was your newfs options when creating it.

of course you did man fsck_ffs ? :) default options are NOT good, 
overallocates inodes, and possibly needs that amount of ram because of 
this.


if your machine is 64-bit capable use amd64 not i386 version - no 4GB 
limit.

Re: GELI cripto USB disk and fsck

2007-08-19 Thread Wojciech Puchar


FreeBSD 6.2 i386

I have an USB disk cryptografied with GELI in order to get external backup
copies of an enterprise.

All work fine till somebody (not me ;D), reboot the computer (I think so)
without unmounting the disk and then I get two things:

1.- The main filesystem / get overfilled, it was 108% used !! because the
USB disk files were in the mounted directory (/usb2). My question is, how
is this possible? it was full and more, where were the files??



simply use -m 0 when doing newfs. it's probably just full :)

now do

tunefs -m 0 -A /dev/disk.eli to not be confused next time.



I reboot the system after delete the files in the /usb2 directory, i
prefer to save the / filesystem.

2.- When I try to mount (after this) the USB disk it says that I must use
fsck because thera are problems in the disk (logic), but I don't find any
utility to run a fsck in a GELI cryptografied disk (or without crypto).


simply attach it with geli and then fsck.

I have the following in mine and phpMyAdmin works fine.

IfModule alias_module

 So far, I have had no problems with ANY of the machines on this

 Could you post the relevant portions of the httpd.conf file?

 I have the following in mine and phpMyAdmin works fine.

 IfModule alias_module
 #
 # ScriptAlias: This controls which directories contain server scripts.
 # ScriptAliases are essentially the same as Aliases, except that
 # documents in the target directory are treated as applications and
 # run by the server when requested rather than as documents sent to the
 # client.  The same rules about trailing / apply to ScriptAlias
 # directives as to Alias.
 #
 Alias /phpmyadmin/ /usr/local/www/phpMyAdmin/

 /IfModule--   Should the part below be above this tag?

 Directory /usr/local/www/phpMyAdmin/
Options none
AllowOverride Limit
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Allow from 127.0.0.1 192.168.1.102
 /Directory

 You would undoubtedly have to modify your 'Allow from' line to
 accommodate your system.

I think where I went wrong is the configuration part that involves running a 
script in the browser.  in /usr/local/www/phpMyAdmin/scripts/

No so fast now, after reading this I thought I'd give it a try, updated 
the source, buildworld then buildkernel. at installkernel i got a lot of 
error lines like this


kldxref: file isn't dynamically-linked
kldxref: file isn't dynamically-linked
kldxref: file isn't dynamically-linked
kldxref: file isn't dynamically-linked

no idea which file it was. And booting I booted straight into gdb.

Before installing the kernel the existing is copied to /boot/kernel.old 
(check before) so you can delete /boot/kernel and restore the old to get 
your old system back.


Then start cleaning up your disk. I can't give any specific suggestions 
as I have no idea of your partitioning. places like /root and /tmp may

FreeBSD + PHP + Barcode scanners for Web Application?

2007-08-19 Thread perikillo
  Hi people.

   Look we have some applications at work, that use scanners Manufacture by
Symbol. Those applications were created in Access, but i want to create
those app for a Web browser, my doubt is:

   Does someone here has a app running from the browser that use bar code
scanners?
   Which languages did u use, python, php, other?
   Did u have problems with fonts?

   Does some know something about this?

   I still didn't see any app that runs in the browser that use bar code
scanners, hope someone here give some light.

   This web app will be for FreeBSD 6.2 server, but i want to use the most
used browsers like Firefox or Iexplorer but i don't want to depend just from
Microsoft Windows + Office in my clients, i will like to use a browser on
any OS to run my app.

   Thanks all for your time, greetings!!!

A lot of barcode scanners work by generating keycodes (either connected
via an adaptor to the PS/2 connector, or USB) so they should work in
anything really... the one we have at work certainly will just write
into Notepad or whatever has keyboard focus when you hit the scanner's
Go button.
Did u have problems with fonts?
   
Huh? For reading barcodes?

For printing them (or displaying in a webpage), there are a bunch of
libraries around that generate images, a quick Google showed up:

   for PHP: http://www.phpclasses.org/browse/package/2176.html
   for command-line (anything):

Gnome FreeBSD

2007-08-19 Thread Michael S
Good day all,

I decided to add GUI to my GUI-less FreeBSD machine. I
am  considering installing Gnome, which I haven't used
for long while and the last time was on Linux anyway.
The reason is that most of my favorite applications
use gtk libraries, like Firefox, GAIM (can't get used
to the new name),wxPython and others. In short I
wanted to avoid 2 huge sets of libraries (gtk and qt)
by not installing KDE.
I wanted to know how Gnome feels on FreeBSD, is it
polished enough? Are there crashes? Any caveats at
all?

Thanks in advance,
Michael

What are you - some non-helpful LUNIX kiddie with depleted sense of humor?

Provide some realistic help or save yourself the bandwidth.

The OP will have to figure out how much space is on the file systems
and som eidea of how much is needed and determine if there is even 
enough space to do the upgrade.   Then either move things around, delete
unneeded things or get more disk or back stuff up and do a clean initial
install and put back only needed data or some usefule combination.

But, the first thing is to find out how much disk there is and
how it is being used.   For that,  df  and  du  are your friends.
Check them in the man pages.   df -k   will give you a reasonable
picture of your filesystems.   From within a filesystem or any directory
using   du -sk *  will give a picture of hos the disk space is being
used withing that directory.   After getting a picture of space use
and availability, it is possible to plan from there.

This is pretty well documented in the handbook and FAQs and previous
mailing list threads so a little searching will be good.

#arp -an? (10.11.12.254) at ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff on vr0 permanent [ethernet]


thats all.  I have cleaned out the arp cache once already, but this came
right back.  I was curious if there was a way to correct this entry, or
something...

 No, it's not.  The output of arp -an might be helpful to this,
 but I suspect you've got an underlying network issue.

 Also (for the second time) keep the mailing list in the loop.
 In particular, I'll be leaving shortly and won't have access to

Computer is home made Intel Core 2 Duo E 4300 2x512 Kb RAM dual channel 
memory DDR2 667. The machine is our main home computer used by my wife

they have at work.


So far stability of Gnome is extraordinary. I have not observed any

With little bit of configuration rc.conf, devfs.conf and fstab which I 
am more than happy to provide to you everything works out of box. All 
multimedia, printing, scanning, cameras, webcam, xchat, vnc works 
flawlessly with exception of sound recording (Skype) due to the fact 
that I am using OSS compiled from ports for my audio card and I am 
reading documentation how to set up mixer and recorder.

I might also get another audio card because VoIP is very important to me.

Computer fells faster then working on KDE (Original installation was 
PC-BSD) Also it feels significantly faster then my Ubuntu desktop at the 
University. I have to admit though that my machine at home has slightly 
better hardware.



On another look, I do use OpenBox 3 with the help of  pypanel  and

desktop I use at the University or at home so it is your choice. I 
really think that Gnome BSD team did grate job to bring FreeBSD to level

 For printing them (or displaying in a webpage), there are a bunch of

 no idea which file it was. And booting I booted straight into gdb.

(ddb I assume, not gdb?)

Those are warnings, not errors, due to the installkernel running a 6.x
kldxref on a 7.x kernel.  Your boot problem is unrelated, and could be
due to missing drivers for whatever your boot device is.

There is a minimal gnome installation in
/usr/ports/x11/gnome2-lite
you can start with that and - if you like it - add all the the 
other stuff. 
One caveat:
First install /usr/ports/x11/xorg (i.e. xorg-7.2) and check if 
your monitor and graphics card are set up correctly.

Maybe not, /home could be symlinked to

I think one of the essential points we may be

Other potential areas of savings:  unused/unneeded
kernel modules, spurious settings in /etc/make.conf,
multiple obsolete kernel files, *.core files in the

 Hi Branko!

 I guess it's like comparing an Alsatian [FreeBSD] to a Spaniel

 NetBSD is a cat and Windows is a fish.

 Feel free to play with my sophisticated model of operating system
 development, anyone.

 Maybe I shouldn't have compared FreeBSD to a dog. Whoops. Sorry all.

If netbsd is a cat, and oh!ess!ten is variously a panther, tiger,
puma, (pard?  olestra?), openbsd is a fish (and some damned
anthropomorphic lips), probably freebsd is really a 1938
pontiac, and windows is a cow-duck hybrid with post-it notes

Xfce. Xfce is only about 15Mb vs Gnome(KDE)~200Mb.  I was first time

   find 
   errors again.  If I bring the system up in single user mode, and run fsck 
   either before or after mounting /var, it finds no errors.
   
   I'm running 6.2_RELEASE with a custom kernel based upon generic-smp, but 
   with a lot of unecessary bits removed, and geom_mirror compiled in.  I 
   don't think it's the drive that's at fault, all the other partitions in 
   the 
   slice are fine, it's a fairly new drive, and it passes a self test quite 
   happily.  Included below is a transcript that attempt to show what's going 
   on in detail, is there anything else relevant?
   
   Can anyone suggest what might be going on and how to fix it, or suggest 
   some slightly better diagnostics?  Apologies if this is an RTFM issue, I 
   have had a good dig through the handbook, but can't seem to find anything 
   that helps.

  Running fsck on a file system that has been mounted read/write will almost
  always report spurious errors and can really screw up the disk if it tries
  to 'correct' those errors.

I'm a bit confused by this.  I've been running 'fsck -n' over FreeBSD
systems since 2.2.6, and modulo seeing the at-the-time inconsistencies
on those filesystems in /etc/fstab that are mounted, as Chris reported
and as are expected, I've never had a problem with it, nor seen the sort
of inconsistent results between runs that Chris is reporting.

  You should normally not run fsck on a mounted filesystem and you should
  *NEVER* run fsck on a filesystem that has been mounted read/write.

This seems to imply that using the -n switch may have different results
than not using it and having fsck determine 'NO WRITE' itself from the
fact that it's noticed that the fs is mounted?  Are you suggesting by
can really screw up the disk if it tries to 'correct' those errors 
that fsck might WRITE to a mounted fs that it's showing as 'NO WRITE'? 

I've never had any screwups with it, but then I've always specified -n.

Later Bill Moran said:

  Don't run fsck on mounted filesystems unless they're mounted read-only.
  
  Although, it's possible I misunderstood your description of the problem.

so I'm still curious, and am wondering if Chris using SMP kernel and/or
geom_mirror might have anything to do with this?  Or whether his use of
'umount -f' might be (or cause) the problem indicated by his results? 

   # umount -f /var
   
   
   # mount /var
