How to create a livecd without compiling everything.
Hi, all. I want to create a customized freebsd livecd, and i have read quite a lot guides about how to do that. but the problem is: most of these need make buildworld, make buildkernel ... I think it's hard for my notebook do that. so is there a simpler/quicker way in which i can create a livecd, what i want to be included in the livecd are the base freebsd system plus some customized packages/config files. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

I performed a whole update of my system (FreeBSD 7.1-RELEASE-p4 #12). Everything went fine save the vim port. An upgrade of the base system Should Not(Tm) affect installed ports under normal conditions. It is unable to download vim-7.2.tar.bz2 despite the fact that the URL portupgrade tries to download from, exists: http://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/unix/vim-7.2.tar.bz2 It was unable to download the file from any other sites. Several different errors (Move permanently, range request not satisfiable...) I am unfamiliar with automated port utilities. What happens if you do the following?: cd /usr/ports/editors/vim; make deinstall distclean; make install clean It fetches all the files from the remote site without problems and it installs it. However, I downloaded that file from the first site using 'fetch', place the file in /usr/ports/distfiles/vim and I could install the package... Don't confuse ports and packages. They are two different ways to install third-party software (until they are installed -- then everything is a package). Sorry, change package for port. What I wanted to say is: when installing the port, it couldn't download one of the needed files (vim-7.2.tar.bz2). After I did it by hand, it could install the port (compiling and all the stuff) because portupgrade found the file already downloaded in /usr/ports/distfiles/vim. http://www.mail-archive.com/freebsd-users...@jp.freebsd.org/msg03072.html According to the link, the ports system fetch the file with -r (resume) option when the previous file transfer had interrupted. However the file entity is changed with the same file name in that period causes the fetch program failed, so you needed the cleaning out of the file or fetch by hand before upgrade, I guess. I hope the ports system can handle this situation.

In order to create a livecd you need to run mkisofs somewhere that has a complete copy of FreeBSD. There are two options for this, one being running it against the live install of your system (ala /) and the other option is populating a stage directory. Most guides assume that the easiest way to do this is via the DESTDIR=/mystagedir option of make installworld installkernel distribution, and it probably is the easiest way, assuming you have done make buildworld buildkernel In your case where this is an undesirable option you can do one of a few things. 1) Use the live system to build the stage directory... # mkdir /usr/mystage ; ( cd / ; tar --exclude /usr/mystage -cf - .) | ( cd /usrr/mystage -xf - ) 2) copy over /usr/src and /usr/obj from a faster machine that's run make buildworld buildkernel and then use make installworld intallkernel distribution to build the stage dir 3) Use your live system directly to run mkisofs Thanks, Josh Paetzel ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

serial console, COM port not working - [FILTER] ?
I'm setting up serial console access to our machines.
One of them isn't giving a login prompt, and I noticed a difference in

Can you ACTUALLY print from FreeBSD?
I'm trying to print from my FreeBSD machine. I've been through a number of online tutorials and instructions on printing from Unix or FreeBSD in particular, but they all seem to start with the assumption that printing from the machine is possible. I'm trying to get to that starting point. I have installed: cups-base-1.3.9_3 Common UNIX Printing System cups-pdf-2.5.0 A virtual printer for CUPS to produce PDF files cups-pstoraster-8.15.4_2 Postscript interpreter for CUPS printing to non-PS printers gutenprint-cups-5.1.7_3 GutenPrint Printer Driver libgnomecups-0.2.3_1,1 Support library for gnome cups admistration hplip-2.8.2_4 Drivers and utilities for HP Printers and All-in-One device The printer I'm working with is a HP Officejet 4110. There seem to be several issues with printing. First, since this is a USB printer, the pinter is always owned by root:operator with read permissions for user, group, and world. Adding these lines to /etc/devfs.conf link ulpt0 printer own ulpt0 cups:cups perm ulpt0 0666 will set the ownership to cups:cups and the permissions to read and write for user, group, and world on startup if the printer is already turned on and plugged in. However, if the printer is not turned on at startup, or if it is disconnected or turned off after system startup, ownership and permissions revert. Trying chown or chmod to the device at /dev/ulpt0 gives an invalid path error, and trying to do so following the instructions in the man page for devfs give 'operation not supported by device' errors. When th device is owned by root, attempting to print the test page generates a 'permission denied' error in CUPS. When the device is owned by cups, attempting to print the test page generates a failed error in CUPS. When the device is owned by cups, this error is reported in the error log in CUPS, if debug logging is enabled: [CGI] /usr/local/share/cups/drivers/pscript5.dll: No such file or directory There isn't a drivers directory in /usr/local/share/cups. I can make one, but where do I get the pscript5.dll, and what else is it going to rely on? CUPS et al were installed using portinstall, and CUPS is working well to produce .pdf files. I tried portupgrade last night on all the (I think) relevant ports, but the system thinks they are all up to date. So, questions: 1. how can I get permissions on the device to stick, so that I do not have to reboot the machine every time we want to print or have to power cycle the printer? 2. Am I correct that the missing .dll (that seems awfully Windows to me) is the problem in getting a filter to print? If so, what do I need to do to install it?

Smith - Adhost] You will need to make sure the switchport facing your server is set to 802.1Q trunk and has VLAN 22 allowed. The IP address on em0 itself is untagged so it will work regardless of the port settings on the switch. VLAN 22 has the 4-byte header attached so the other side has to recognize the tag. Just to clarify, both VM's are on a single ESXi server on a virtual switch, so no network hardware is involved. It is possible to configure the virtual switch to be on no vlan and on a specific vlan, but in both cases it didn't work. I'll see if I there are more settings I can change on the virtual switch.

Re: Can you ACTUALLY print from FreeBSD?
I'm trying to print from my FreeBSD machine. I've been through a number of online tutorials and instructions on printing from Unix or FreeBSD in particular, but they all seem to start with the assumption that printing from the machine is possible. I'm trying to get to that starting point. A laudable ambition! OK, honestly, am I working under a valid assumption that it *is* possible to print from FreeBSD? Or is this just going to engender greater frustration? cups-base-1.3.9_3 Common UNIX Printing System cups-pdf-2.5.0 A virtual printer for CUPS to produce PDF files cups-pstoraster-8.15.4_2 Postscript interpreter for CUPS printing to non-PS printers gutenprint-cups-5.1.7_3 GutenPrint Printer Driver libgnomecups-0.2.3_1,1 Support library for gnome cups admistration hplip-2.8.2_4 Drivers and utilities for HP Printers and All-in-One device Looks good so far. Thanks. The printer I'm working with is a HP Officejet 4110. 1. how can I get permissions on the device to stick, so that I do not have to reboot the machine every time we want to print or have to power cycle the printer? Wrong file - add the changes to /etc/devfs.rules /etc/devfs.conf is for fixed devices - devfs.rules for plug-in stuff. OK. I created and edited this file. At least now on attaching the printer, the permissions are other than root:operator. 2. Am I correct that the missing .dll (that seems awfully Windows to me) is the problem in getting a filter to print? If so, what do I need to do to install it? I don't know - try it with the permissions set as above. That doesn't change the behavior. It still fails to print, and seems to error on a missing dll. And, actually, a third printing-related issue: How do I get cupsd to start on startup? I have these two lines in /etc/rc.conf:\ cupsd_enable=YES # enable cups printing management That should be enough to get it running. it doesn't. :( devfs_system_ruleset=system # something else they say cups needs in which case the first line in /etc/devfs.rules should be [system=10] that line starts a new ruleset with the name system and the number 10 got that.

Re: Can you ACTUALLY print from FreeBSD?
Follow the instructions here: http://desktopbsd.net/wiki/doku.php?id=doc:printing I'm currently four days of troubleshooting after having done all that's listed on that wiki entry (though I didn't find that page until yesterday), and still trying to get close. That would be one of the pages I obliquely referred to as assuming that printing was possible... When I read that the first time, I didn't have much idea of CUPS and devfs rules. I could still make it work. yeah, the instructions there work great up to: I then selected the Printer tab, clicked the Print test page, and successfully printed a test page. I can go to the Printer tab and click Print test page, but what happens next is not even evidence of communication with the printer, just a failed message. cupsd_enable=YES should do the trick in rc.conf - nothing else needed to start cups as a service. I'd have to disagree with this statement, based on experience. That line has been in rc.conf since Januray, and cupsd *never* starts on boot. I'd guess that there has to be something else done somewhere to get it to actually start. There must be some problem in your system - there is nothing else in my rc.conf about cups, and it does start at boot on my system. Yeah, I'm guessing that there is something missing somewhere, or something that CUPS doesn't install by default, or something that is supposed to be set in some other file, or something, I just haven't got a clue where to look or what to look for. Having to start cups manually isn't really all that bad, but it would ne nice not to have to. However, that's all pretty moot if there isn't a way to get ink to paper from a FreeBSD machine... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Many ports will shut down a running instance of themselves when upgraded
like this specifically to avoid the sort of complications that can occur
when the running image does not match what is on disk.
mysql does, apache doesn't.
So upgrade mysql-server last thing before you reboot. Although I know you're
not using portupgrade, this snippet from pkgtools.conf has been a blessing in
minimizing outage lengths during updates on live servers:
AFTERINSTALL = {
'*' = proc { |origin|
cmd_start_rc(origin)
},
}
Of couse, the best course of action is to plan sufficient downtime that you
can do the upgrades comfortably plus recover from any number of ways things
might go wrong, but sometimes that simply isn't possible.

I had started (abandoned now) a script that would dynamically ask the rc.d system if a package was running when it was time to install a new package, meaning that it needs to stop, install, and start the package during the upgrade process. Worked well, until I realized that lots of ports don't do much (if any) work until make install is called, then it will (of all things) download and install depenencies and itself. So while all the dependencies are being downloaded and installed, the original package that needed to be upgrade has not been running. On large upgrades for the sake of anything better to example, Xorg, KDE/Gnome, MySQL/PostgreSQL all were NOT running during the 'install' phase which should be quick. Instead due to the Makefile writing it was delaying the install and restart of the packages anywhere from minutes to hours (to days.. OpenOffice). I abandoned the project mostly because I found little things about the ports system that is invisible to most people, but when dealing with the ports system details, they were the sore thumb. Since then I've found portmanager/portmaster/portupgrade have improved so now it's time to improve their stuff in terms of patches and upgrades. YMMV, I just didn't see the success Matthew had. --Tim ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Compiling FreeBSD with GCC 4.3+
Hi, There has been an article recently published by phoronix (http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=articleitem=pcbsd_vs_kubuntunum=1) that compares PC-BSD to Kubuntu. Kubuntu uses GCC 4.3.3 compared to FreeBSD's GCC 4.2.2. There is a considerable performance difference between the two OS's, the article contributes this difference to the compiler. In order to check if this is so (and to get the speed improvements of GCC 4.3+) one needs to compile the ports (and preferable world/kernel as well) with GCC 4.3+. Is there an easy way to set this up and does anyone know the compatibility of world/kernel/ports with GCC 4.3+? Also has anyone tried this and benchmarked the result?

The IP address on em0 itself is untagged so it will work regardless of the port settings on the switch. VLAN 22 has the 4-byte header attached so the other side has to recognize the tag. Your reply inspired me to google 802.1Q and ESXi, and I found a document describing different VLAN solutions on ESXi (http://www.vmware.com/pdf/esx3_vlan_wp.pdf).

Re: Can you ACTUALLY print from FreeBSD?
Googling that shows it to be a file shared with Windows boxes when you're running samba. I don't know if you set up samba or not, but I would ignore this error for now. It's likely unrelated to the printing problem that you're having. OK. Thanks. I guess. I was kind of hoping that figuring that out might be the fix... Do you have the startup script: /usr/local/etc/rc.d/cupsd ? yes If so, what is the output of /usr/local/etc/rc.d/cupsd status? currently it's: cupsd is running as pid 721. but I did start cups manually since my last reboot. Cupsd was started automatically on reboot by the script. So that part is working fine. after rebooting the machine, it's: cupsd is not running. config info snipped It appears the problem is the printer. Try changing the perms to 0777 for testing purposes. If you're able to print, the problem is permissions. You'll have to figure out what permissions you need to get it working. That doesn't help. I get the same behavior with the permissions set to 0777. One person mentioned that you should be using the ugen device instead of /dev/ultp0. This thread might be relevant - http://foo2zjs.rkkda.com/forum/read.php?9,546,547 You might have to abandon using cupsd for this printer. Yeah. We may not be using this printer long anyway, since it is nearly out of ink, and the ink will be $95. It would just be nice to be able to demonstrate that printing is an option. Also, from what I've been seeing in my testing and so on since Thursday, it looks like if you use CUPS at all, you can't use anything else, since CUPS overwrites things like /etc/printcap with its own settings frequently. And since I've been successfully using cups-pdf for several months, I'd need a replacement for that. At least with that, despite all the shortcomings of .pdf format, we can still get stuff printed. Just not in our office. If so, this might be helpful: http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/bsd/2004/07/08/FreeBSD_Basics.html?page=last I had read through that several times.

mysql does, apache doesn't.
So upgrade mysql-server last thing before you reboot.
so i'll try
portmaster -a -x mysql-server
portmaster mysql-server
reboot
which might work ok as mysql-server is a leaf node in my config
Although I know you're
not using portupgrade, this snippet from pkgtools.conf has been a blessing in
minimizing outage lengths during updates on live servers:
AFTERINSTALL = {
'*' = proc { |origin|
cmd_start_rc(origin)
},
}
Of couse, the best course of action is to plan sufficient downtime that you
can do the upgrades comfortably plus recover from any number of ways things
might go wrong, but sometimes that simply isn't possible.
it's finding the optimum between minimizing downtime and having enough that
i'm trying to think through.
