G'day. This is an X61 laptop, and I'm trying to use the Fn keys to call scripts to do various jobs, while informing users or getting input using Xdialog popups. Here's an example case.

If I startx and run devd in the foreground with: sh /etc/rc.d/devd stop devd -dD\ all is fine, Xdialogs displayed and sound too. Likewise, if I restart devd from an xterm (sh /etc/rc.d/devd restart), all is fine: However, if I restart devd from an ssh term or another console, only sound, no Xdialogs. I'm curious to know what is actually going on here. I wouldn't have thought the context from which devd is restarted would make any difference, but clearly it does. Any clues? Also, does anyone have any ideas how I can call Xdialog to get the windows displayed?

Re: wine: notepad OK, others not
Wine has its own simple version of Wordpad though. Just run wine wordpad. This version has its own notepad, but it doesn't appear to have wordpad. (There's no wordpad.exe that I can find, but there are two identical copies of notepad.exe -- one in .../windows and the other in .../windows/system32.) I'm not entirely sure, but I think the :: link is only used for raw access to devices. Wine doesn't mount disks on its own. For floppies, which AFAIK are always formatted as FAT, I'd settle for having it use mtools so the disk wouldn't need to be mounted at all :) ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Just, couldn't find way to configure mpd5, it seems it does not have same rules for conf file as mpd4 that I setup to work for me. Now with your example, I will probably try to upgrade to mpd5, thanks.

raid and dump/restore after the disaster
Hi all! I'm playing with new HW and FreeBSD 6.3 and 7.0. I set up raid 1 on two sata disks (fakeraid on ICH9R) and as long as I can see, it seams to work very well. Now I'm trying to simulate 1 disk failure (I just take out a disk and boot again). Doesn't matter which of the two disks I take out, the bios correctly shows the raid as degraded and bootable, loads the FreeBSD loader, who loads the kernel and starts the boot. But when the kernel comes to the drives (or the swap?) it fatal traps 12. The trap descriptions sais that current process is 0 (swapper). Reading that I commented out the swap partition from fstab, but that doesn't help. How can I get the system to finish the boot? Thank you and best regards. -- Robi ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: is this hardware supported?
Hi. Here I'm back with a very short report on installing FreeBSD 6.3/7.0 and others on this mainboard: http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Products/Motherboard/Products_Spec.aspx?ClassValue=MotherboardProductID=2534ProductName=GA-G33M-DS2R It's a Gigabyte (model GA-G33M-DS2R) mainboard based on the Intel G33 + ICH9R Chipset and Intel E8200 processor. I tried to install FreeBSD 6.3 and 7.0, xen 4.1 and CentOS 5.1 The results are all in favour of FreeBSD :) FreeBSD: It installs without any problem both using MB SATA fakeraid or plain SATA disk. All HW is correctly recognized and in no more than 5 minutes FreeBSD is fully installed, configured and up and running on network. No tests on graphics, though. xen: Installation fails as it says the system doesn't have a NIC. After providing the NIC driver during installation, linux doesn't see the SATA fakeraid, but only the bare disks. CentOS: Installation gets to the end and lets a bootable system, but the system doesn't recognice the NIC nor the SATA fakeraid. Graphics is correctly configured and Gnome starts up correctly. Best regards. Roberto Nunnari wrote: Roland, Thank you for your support. I'll post here the result of installing FreeBSD on that HW. Best regards. Robi.

Can anybody use the embedded RAID controller to make a HW RAID 1 with two SATA disks? According to ata(4), the ICH8 chipset is supported. According to ataraid(4) the jmicron is supported. But if it doesn't work, you can always use gmirror(8). Is the NIC supported and working well? Hard to say. The spec page you provided doesn't list the type of Realtek chip used. Again, if it doesn't work get a cheap Realtek 8139 card. Again, I couldn't find any of its chipsets in the 6.3 supported HW list, so that's why I ask the list. It is better to check the manual pages of drivers. But in this case I'm a bit muc more confident that FreeBSD 6.3 can run on this HW I recently booted FreeBSD on a system with a intel motherboard with a ICH9 chipset. Everything seemed to work OK.

It would seem that the MRU to MTU relationship is defined in the nic driver rather than enforced further up the stack or at least that seamed to be the case with the bce driver. Hope this is helpful, Tom Hi Tom, From what I understand these threads are referring to the bce hardware configuration (bus configuration) and driver mbuf allocation size. Am I correct? In my case I'm not trying to receive packets MTU from the HW, but to chain mbuf clusters, each is MCLBYTES long, and pass the mbuf chain to the OS. Since tcpdump (analyzed by wireshark) catches the packets above the driver and reports a good packet (and 2945 bytes long), I assume my driver functionality is ok. From what I know tcpdump is supposed to immitate the way the stack sees the packet, yet it is discarded. My logic says there is an OS parameter handled by the driver (at net device init time for example) that will set the OS to receive large mbuf chains, or a kernel tcp parameter. Is the tcp stack submitted to the mtu somehow?

OpenLDAP/FreeBSD: How to implement attribute HOST without STRUCTURAL account?
Hello out there, my question may sound a bit weird, but the situation is as follows: I use OpenLDAP 2.4 for authetication purposes within our lab's net and every user's account is of the objectclass 'posixAccount'. As we know, this class does not contain the attribute 'host', which belongs to structural class 'account' and both posixAccount and account are of type structural and therefore can not be mixed. For some first steps in host-based and LDAP-backed up logins I need to allow logins on several machines by looking at the host (I use PAM for both authtentication and accounting). Looking at /usr/local/etc/nss_ldap.conf (or simply ldap.conf) I find a tag pam_check_host_attr yes to be set when we want to use host based logins. But this does not work due to the above mentioned reasons. Is there a elegant workaround for this situation?

Question about socket syscall in release 6.2
I have found some weird behavior about the socket system call in freebsd release 6.2. The problem appears if I try to open more sockets than the ulimits allows: the socket system call gets blocked instead of returning an EMFILE error. This only happens to me in release 6.2 ( I tested in 7.0 but it works fine). The following python script is what I have used to reproduce the issue: import os import socket from random import randint import sys socketAddress = (127.0.0.1, randint(2, 3)) s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) s.setsockopt(socket.SOL_SOCKET, socket.SO_REUSEADDR, 1) s.bind(socketAddress) s.listen(1) socketList = [] child = -1 for i in range(1): child = os.fork() if (child): clientCon, address = s.accept() socketList.append(clientCon) os.waitpid(0, os.WNOHANG) else: print child %d % i clientSocket = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) if (clientSocket==-1): print(client socket error) err = clientSocket.connect(socketAddress) if (err==-1): print(client connect error) break Is there something I'm missing ? Can someone shed me some light about this ? Thanks in advance.

freebsd 7 with sata drives
The system gets thru the install fine, and does the next reboot ok. But, if I do a very simple cvsup to get freebsd 7-stable source, then a kernel rebuild, the system has what looks like a drive/controller recognition problem next time. It sees the proper root slice of ad5s1a, but cant boot it. It shows an error with sio1, unable to open device or something similar. Has this been seen before?

Running PostgreSQL 7 8 Simultaneously

Thanks in advance for any advice. The ports collection does not support this directly, however it's not too difficult to set up. Ports won't allow you to install two different version of PostgreSQL simultaneously, so the two choices you have are: 1) Install one from the ports and the other manually. 2) Use the jail system to create FreeBSD virtual machines to install the different versions in. I like #2 the best, personally, but I've done it both ways. With #1, you have to ensure they're configured to use different directories for their data files, and that they listen on different ports. With #2, you have to change the UID of the pgsql user in each jail so they don't overwrite each other's shared memory, and enable SYSV SHM for jails (via sysctl) -- Bill Moran http://www.potentialtech.com ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: OS throws away large packets
Hi all, I'm trying to implement Large Recieve Offload for an Ethernet driver on FreeBSD 6.3, but all my MTU packets are being thrown by the OS. I'm using mbuf chains in this imlpementation, each mbuf is a cluster of MCLBYTES bytes. They are linked by the m_next pointer. The first packet being thrown away is 2945 bytes long. Wireshark shows the packet that is being passed to the OS is correct. Do I need to set some OS parameter to make it recieve mbuf chains? Please help. Hi Yony, I seem to remember some discussion about this list last year see the following threads: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-net/2007-September/015250.htm l http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-net/2007-September/015350.htm l From my limited reading of these threads just now and possibly bad memory. It would seem that the MRU to MTU relationship is defined in the nic driver rather than enforced further up the stack or at least that seamed to be the case with the bce driver. Hope this is helpful, Tom Hi Tom, From what I understand these threads are referring to the bce hardware configuration (bus configuration) and driver mbuf allocation size. Am I correct? In my case I'm not trying to receive packets MTU from the HW, but to chain mbuf clusters, each is MCLBYTES long, and pass the mbuf chain to the OS. Since tcpdump (analyzed by wireshark) catches the packets above the driver and reports a good packet (and 2945 bytes long), I assume my driver functionality is ok. From what I know tcpdump is supposed to immitate the way the stack sees the packet, yet it is discarded. My logic says there is an OS parameter handled by the driver (at net device init time for example) that will set the OS to receive large mbuf chains, or a kernel tcp parameter. Is the tcp stack submitted to the mtu somehow? I don't see where you've identified what version of the os you're working with. There's a check in the 802.3 input path on earlier systems to discard frames mtu. This was removed not too long ago with LRO in mind; check the history of sys/net/if_ethersubr.c. Sam Hi Sam, I have mentioned working on 6.3. FreeBSD 6.2 had this check in if_ethersubr.c / ether_input: 539 if (m-m_pkthdr.len 540 ETHER_MAX_FRAME(ifp, etype, m-m_flags M_HASFCS)) { 541 if_printf(ifp, discard oversize frame 542 (ether type %x flags %x len %u max %lu)\n, 543 etype, m-m_flags, m-m_pkthdr.len, 544 ETHER_MAX_FRAME(ifp, etype, 545 m-m_flags M_HASFCS)); 546 ifp-if_ierrors++; 547 m_freem(m); 548 return; 549 } Patching it was explained by neterion in http://trac.neterion.com/cgi-bin/trac.cgi/wiki/FreeBSD. This check no longer exists in 6.3, nor any other oversize packet handling (I couldn't find any so far).

The network card is detected as nfe0: NIVIDIA nForce 430 MCP13 Networking Adapter port 0xf207 mem 0xfe02b000-0xfe02bfff irq 5 at device 20.0 on pci0 I found another 2 problems now. When I use the first boot option, i cant make the card get a ip, neither the HD is detected (SATA). And when I use safe mode i never boot, it halts tring to mount ufs:root the chipset of the mainboard is: NVIDIA® nForce® 650i SLI™ CD drive was detected as atapi. :-/ Damian ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

lagg(4)/vlan(4) on-boot configuration problems
I'm trying to get a bonded vlan up using the new lagg driver on 6.3- RELEASE. I seem to be having problems with getting the network to configure at boot time, and I think I've found the reason. It would appear that order of operations is very important when configuring a lagg device. If I do this... # ifconfig lagg0 create # ifconfig lagg0 up laggproto failover laggport bce0 laggport bce1 # ifconfig lagg0.811 create # ifconfig lagg0.811 10.4.11.41/24 # ifconfig bce0 up # ifconfig bce1 up ... then everything works. If I do this... # ifconfig bce0 up # ifconfig bce1 up # ifconfig lagg0 create # ifconfig lagg0 up laggproto failover laggport bce0 laggport bce1 # ifconfig lagg0.811 create # ifconfig lagg0.811 10.4.11.41/24 ... then the lagg0.811 interface is useless, however no errors are emitted during configuration. It would appear that /etc/rc.d/netif is probably doing the latter, as when I try to configure the above interface using rc.conf nothing works. This is the relevant rc.conf block I'm using: cloned_interfaces=lagg0 lagg0.811 ifconfig_lagg0=up laggproto failover laggport bce0 laggport bce1 ifconfig_lagg0_811=10.4.11.41/24 ifconfig_bce0=up ifconfig_bce1=up Does anyone have suggestions for things I might be doing wrong here, before I file a bug?

Besides using Linux for projects on school computers, I never had much experience with Unix-like operating systems. While I get by nicely on FreeBSD, I recently felt that I didn't have a very solid understanding of it's organization or structure. I suppose one can't know everything about an operating system with as much functionality as FreeBSD, but I started to feel like my knowledge was really ad-hoc, and that I didn't completely understand what I was doing (as if I had learned only by example). To that end, I started reading the FreeBSD handbook front-to-back. I've gotten to Part III, and while it's been very valuable, I still feel like I'm learning by example, and not by understanding the operating system. I'm starting to think I'm expecting something out of the handbook it's not designed to do. It seems like the man pages would be a good place to go, but my trouble with using them is that they're difficult to put together the information on different pages. I suppose I want something like a textbook. I dream of a KR type text that is very comprehensive and well-organized. If anyone has advice, I'd very much appreciate it!

Dynamic Memory Allocation Limit?
I have recently been writing an implementation of the sieve of Eratosthenes in C. To find all primes less than N, I dynamically create an array of chars (relatively small datatype) of length N+1 (I know I don't need to represent evens). Everything works great up until around 600 million, at which case memory allocation fails. At this point, I am asking for 600M chars, which is about 572MB (I might be failing to take account of offset?). My system has about 2GB of memory. Top says: Mem: 159M Active, 1113M Inact, 185M Wired, 56M Cache, 112M Buf, 481M Free. From the man page, I am not completely clear what these values mean. However, I have read elsewhere that memory labeled as inactive should be available for the heap Is there a limit to how much memory may be allocated to a process?

rmuser failed / cannot readd user
Hi readers! I am having problems with adding/removing user accounts. This seems to be related to a problem I was having yesterday (Subject: a monster stole my /), adding a user when / was at 108% capacity. I added a user called mrawebuser, which failed because there was not enough free space on / at the time. Now when I try to add the user again it says the user already exists when it doesn't. I have used rmuser to remove the account and also manually check /etc/passwd, /etc/ master.passwd, /etc/group - none of these files contain any reference to mrawebuser. If I repeat the rmuser command it will find the user every time. Basically I would like to start fresh, completely remove this user and any reference to the account then recreate it. intranet# adduser -v Username: mrawebuser Full name: MRA Web User Uid (Leave empty for default): Login group [mrawebuser]: Login group is mrawebuser.

To increase datasize, set the tunable kern.maxdsiz (more info in tuning(7)). I guess the system is running FreeBSD/i386, because I think the default limit is about ~500MB on FreeBSD/i386. Note that it isn't possible to allow processes to use more than ~3GB of memory on FreeBSD/i386 because of that platform's constraints. More is possible on for example FreeBSD/amd64.
