virtual network with qemu

2009-05-14 Thread marco.borsat...@poste.it
Hi to all.
I'd like to implement a little virtual network using QEMU 0.10.2, but, until 
now, I have failed.
This is the situation.
Host: AMD 64 running FreeBSD 7.2
#ifconfig
nfe0: flags=8843UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST metric 0 mtu 1500
options=10bRXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,TSO4
ether 00:15:f2:44:2d:f9
inet 192.168.0.2 netmask 0xff00 broadcast 192.168.0.255
media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX full-duplex)
status: active
plip0: flags=108810POINTOPOINT,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST,NEEDSGIANT metric 0 mtu 1500

inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x3
inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff00
I've create an image using the FreeBSD 7.2 DVD:
#qemu-img create -f qcow2 hda fbsd72.img 10G
The image has been created.
#qemu -L /usr/local/share/qemu/ -cdrom /dev/acd0 -m 512 -boot d fbsd72.img
Alfter a long time, the installation of the guest system has been completed.
When the installation program asked for information about network 
configuration, as a
first step, I chose DHCP configuration and, as usualy, the network has been set
like this:
IP 10.0.2.15/255.255.255.0
gateway 10.0.2.2
nameserver 10.0.2.3
When the installation of the guest PC was finished, I've copied the
image to pc01.img, to keep the original untouched. After that I've started qemu 
like this:
#qemu -L /usr/local/share/qemu -localtime -net nic,macaddr=00:15:f2:44:2d:01 
-net socket,mcast=230.0.0.1:1234 -hda pc01.img -cdrom /dev/acd0 
but the network in the guest system does not work.
ifconfig in the guest system tells:
#ifconfig -a
ed0: flags=8843UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST metric 0 mtu 1500
  ether 00:15:f2:44:2d:01
  media: Ethernet 10baseT/UTP full-duplex
plip0: ...
lo0: ...
If I try:
#ping 10.0.2.2 (the gateway)
all packets are lost. For this reason, I've tryed a static IP configuration 
like this:
IP 10.0.2.4/255.255.255.0
gateway 10.0.2.2
nameserver 10.0.2.3
but the gateway does not respond. So it is useless to try with a second guest 
system.
Please help. Sorry for my bad english.
Marco

Re: /tmp/security on 7.1-Release

2009-05-14 Thread Zbigniew Szalbot
Hello,

 Ever since upgrading from 7.0-Release to 7.1-Release I get the
 following in the daily security reports:

 master.lc-words.com kernel log messages:
 +++ /tmp/security.yMzCQbS8   2009-05-13 03:01:25.0 +0200
 +re0: watchdog timeout
 +re0: link state changed to DOWN
 +re0: link state changed to UP

 It just happens around 3 a.m. each day and so I wonder if I should be
 concerned about it...?

 Thank you in advance for your suggestions!

 I can bet it's NIC related problem, probably your re0 is sharing IRQ
 with something and it's going up/down. The time you see (~3.oo AM) is
 the moment periodic works, so it doesn't mean the problem happend then.

 I've seen similar problems on cheap PC hardware with integrated NIC
 and/or external PCI NIC (re/rl/em). Search for 're0: watchdog timeout'
 on google.

 The solution is to replace re with something else - em for example, but
 there is no guarantee it's going to work - I had same problems on
 crappy hardware with two identical interfaces plugged in (some model of
 em - IRRC Intel PRO/1000 GT)

Yes, you are most likely right but I am left wondering why this has never
been a problem on 7.0-Release...?

So either the problem in question did not occur on 7.0 or it did occur but
wasn't reported.

Thanks!

Xorg in a Jail... :)

2009-05-14 Thread Da Rock
Probably for the umpteenth time this subject line has shown up :) Why break 
convention?

I'll start here as my audience might be greater: how is this made possible? I 
know Alexander Leidinger was working on something, but this isn't compiling on 
7.1 atm (kern_jail.c: In function 'prison_priv_check': kern_jail.c:754: error: 
'jail_dev_io_access_allowed' undeclared (first use in this function), 
kern_jail.c: 754: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once for 
each function it appears in.), kern_jail.c: 761: error: 
'jail_dev_io_access_allowed_hostname' undeclared (first use in this function), 
Error code 1) (Patch failed on hunk 1 of 2 -  rev on file is 1.70.2.4.2.1).

More importantly I've read in posts elsewhere that a fb (framebuffer) device is 
being worked on. Besides this, I'm interested in the security of these methods. 
From what I've examined (on the system and on the net) only Xorg is using 
/dev/io and /dev/mem, so I'm wondering whether it might be possible to tighten 
security more with regards X AND in doing so make it easier to run X in a jail. 
I'm guessing that IF Xorg can be configured (manually?) then access to io could 
be restricted? Then only fb would be needed instead of /dev/mem? I'm only 
shooting off at the hip here- I'm not entirely up on Xorg runnings... (Docs 
might be handy? Pointers?)

I'll admit that I might not be in a great position to put this in code (I'm 
trying to help with a network driver currently- in my spare time :P), I have 2 
kids, a couple of businesses (one of which is the wife's), so I'm kinda 
strapped. But I do have plenty of good ideas, and not enough time for my 
projects on my list- plus I'm still kinda green on driver writing so its a slow 
process. But I'm willing to brain storm, and definitely test :)

Anyway, I'd like to work with whats out there currently to run X in a jail, but 
I need to get it to compile first (or setup) so some clarity on how to get this 
done would be great.

I get this message too, it is just a note stating a feature of X is
missing to support ZPixmap properly so Opera will not use it.

I have not seen any big problems with Opera for years, so maybe you
have got some faulty hardware or other configuration issues.

Also please try to correct your time / time zone settings, all your

If I recall correctly qemu has a built-in DHCP server.
That's the one that served you, not a real DHCP server
running on your LAN, that is, you are not in any way connected
to the real network.


#qemu -L /usr/local/share/qemu -localtime -net nic,macaddr=00:15:f2:44:2d:01 -net

but the network in the guest system does not work.


It makes sense, that the multicast option will work
between virtual hosts only. That is, it uses multicast
to provide a virtual broadcast domain, which appears to
the host operating system as a ethernet device.

No, infact it's the exact opposite. This type of device
will work *only* if you add another virtual system.

To get connected to the real network, you must use tap
devices. Correction:
Browsing the qemu's wiki I found out that there is a newer
and simpler approach that I am not familiar with:
http://calamari.reverse-dns.net:980/cgi-bin/moin.cgi/user-net

So, if you do want internet access, just remove all network
associated options and it will work automagically. If you just
want to connect guest systems together use multicast or socket
or ...

portupgrade -R problems

2009-05-14 Thread Pieter Donche
FreeBSD7. 
I wanted to upgrade print/cups-base and print/hplip

From a portsnap run:

cups-base-1.3.9_3  needs updating (index has 1.3.10_1)
hplip-2.8.2_3  needs updating (index has 2.8.2_4)

# cd /usr/ports/print/cups

#
What does this mean, does it think it is already up-to-date ??

Then I tried
# cd /usr/ports/print/hplip

added tcl and tk, and eventually even began to upgrade

Can't get ndis0 working

2009-05-14 Thread Walter, Richard
Hello,

I tried to activate my Acer's Aspire 5315 wireless card
with FreeBSD 7.2 i386 and had no luck.

What i did:
1) #prtconf -lv
no...@pci0:6:0:0:   class=0x028000 card=0x04221468 chip=0x431114e4 rev=0x01 
hdr=0x00
vendor = 'Broadcom Corporation'
device = 'Dell Wireless 1390 WLAN Mini-PCI Card'
class  = network

2) i Downloaded the R112196.EXE archive from the Dell ftp server and
   extracted bcmwl5.inf and bcmwl5.sys
3) i copied those files to /sys/modules/if_ndis
4) # iconv -c -f utf-16 -t ascii bcmwl5.inf  bcmwl5.inf.ascii
5) with ndisgen and bcmwl5.inf.ascii/bcmwl5.sys i created
   successful bcmwl5_sys.ko.
   The ndisgen wrote a message at sys file loading:
   This .SYS file appears to be in Windows(r) PE format
6) # cp bcmwl5_sys.ko /boot/kernel
7) # kldload bcmwl5_sys.ko
kldload: cant't load bcmwl5_sys.ko

   # kldloat /boot/kernel/bcmwl5_sys.ko
kldload: cant't load /boot/kernel/bcmwl5_sys.ko

# rm /boot/kernel/bcmwl5_sys.ko
# rm /sys/modules/if_ndis/bcmwl5_sys.ko

See the man page for portupgrade, as I think that the option you want to 
use is -r and not -R


I've always keep my installed ports up to date with portupgrade -ar

 There's plenty of reasons not to use csh and if you know what you're doing,
 BSD lets you. And no, I don't want to type exec zsh when I'm finally logged

I think the problem with that is he meant changing the root shell to
/usr/local/bin/bash. You're better off using /bin/sh if you want a
Bourne-type shell, or using toor with /usr/local/bin/bash.

 From the first link, I understand that it _could_ be that the

Thanks for the patches Roland. I've tried both and each of them cures

virtual network with qemu

2009-05-14 Thread marco.borsat...@poste.it
First, thank you.
You are right, qemu has an internal DHCP server, which should be perfect for 
me, becuse I would like to emulate a network without any contact with external 
(real) world. The problem is that my virtual PC can't ping the gateway. For my 
idea (this is just a way to study a project for a network without a real 
network) the communication is intended only among virtual PCs. But If I can't 
contact the (virtual) gateway will it be possible to contact another virtual PC 
on a different subnet? Or even on the same subnet? In my idea I would like to 
create a little but complex net with one master controller, a slave controller, 
a little number of client belonging to different subnets. Maybe with or without 
a DHCP server.

 If I recall correctly qemu has a built-in DHCP server.
 That's the one that served you, not a real DHCP server
 running on your LAN, that is, you are not in any way connected
 to the real network.

  #qemu -L /usr/local/share/qemu -localtime -net

  pc01.img -cdrom /dev/acd0 
  but the network in the guest system does not work.

 It makes sense, that the multicast option will work
 between virtual hosts only. That is, it uses multicast
 to provide a virtual broadcast domain, which appears to
 the host operating system as a ethernet device.

  ifconfig in the guest system tells:
  #ifconfig -a
  ed0: flags=8843UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST metric 0 mtu 1500
ether 00:15:f2:44:2d:01

  lo0: ...
  If I try:
  #ping 10.0.2.2 (the gateway)
  all packets are lost. For this reason, I've tryed a static IP configuration 
  like this:
  IP 10.0.2.4/255.255.255.0
  gateway 10.0.2.2
  nameserver 10.0.2.3
  but the gateway does not respond. So it is useless to try with a second 
  guest system.

 No, infact it's the exact opposite. This type of device
 will work *only* if you add another virtual system.

 To get connected to the real network, you must use tap
 devices. Correction:
 Browsing the qemu's wiki I found out that there is a newer
 and simpler approach that I am not familiar with:
 http://calamari.reverse-dns.net:980/cgi-bin/moin.cgi/user-net

 So, if you do want internet access, just remove all network
 associated options and it will work automagically. If you just
 want to connect guest systems together use multicast or socket
 or ...

Re: Linux Wolfenstein Enemy Territory - no sound

2009-05-14 Thread LordBanter

Hi,

I was going nuts with this Wolfenstein Enemy Territory sound issue. I have
installed the game, but the sound was not working at all. I have tried
almost all available solutions from the Internet. None worked. However I
have managed to make one solution work properly for me and voila! I HAVE
SOUND  MUSIC NOW! )) Read on how I made it:

1. I have downloaded this script: http://nullkey.ath.cx/~stuff/et-sd [...]
-sound.gz. (Alternative mirror: http://members.lycos.co.uk/lordban [...]
l-sound.gz )
2. The script was not working from scratch. I have had to edit it manually.
First locate where your Wolfenstein installation directory is (via locating
et.x86 file. The dir/folder where the file is, is your installation dir. In
my case it was /usr/local/games/enemy-territory )
3. Now open downloaded script wolfsp-sdl-sound file with text editor (on my
Mandriva I just used KWrite, but for other distro just use default one)
4. At the beginning of the file you will find disabled grey text/comment.
There will be such a text (search for it): # You can set this in GAME_PATH
environment variable and just underneath the text there will be the
variable called GAME_PATH=.
5. Remove the hash (#) from before the GAME_PATH variable. The text may
become colorful as it is no longer disabled comment.
6. Now type in your full path to Wolfenstein installation dir between
inverted comas. In my case it looked like this:
GAME_PATH=/usr/local/games/enemy-territory. It is like this by defauld, so
you may just use it, if you haven't change installation dir.
7. Now go down the file, and locate another variables which are GAME_BIN and
GAME_DIR.
8. Change value of GAME_BIN to GAME_BIN='et.x86'
9. Change value of GAME_DIR to your Wolfenstein installation dir only (not a
path!). In my case it was: GAME_DIR='enemy-territory'. It's default folder
(directory/catalog whatever you call it...) so if you haven't change it
during installation, use that one.
10. That's it!
11. Now drag and drop your edited wolfsp-sdl-sound file into the console
window and execute it by pressing ENTER. Voila! The Wolfenstein is running
with SOUND now!
12. [applause]

The main problem with Linux is this damned console/script thing. I mean how
they are going to beat Windows, as main Windows advantage is GRAPHICALLY
operated environment, not TEXT operated one! This must be changed and all
console commands/scripts should have GRAPHICAL (icon to click) equivalent.

Enjoy!

Re: fixit console with sshd

2009-05-14 Thread Artis Caune
2009/4/28 n j nin...@gmail.com:
 I was just wondering if someone could give me a quick advice on how
 (or at least confirm it's possible) to start sshd in fixit console
 i.e. how to boot FreeBSD off the CD1 (6.4-RELEASE) and enable SSH
 access to it.

 I believe booting off a live CD and restoring a backup over network
 should be a relatively common recovery scenario, but googling around
 produced no usable results other than get FreeSBIE live cd.

or you can build your own live cd:


# BUILDDIR=/home/my_live_cd
# mkdir $BUILDDIR

# cd /usr/src
# make buildworld
# make buildkernel
# make installworld  DESTDIR=$BUILDDIR
# make distribution  DESTDIR=$BUILDDIR
# make installkernel DESTDIR=$BUILDDIR

echo '/dev/acd0 / cd9660 ro 0 0'  $BUILDDIR/etc/fstab
echo 'init_script=/etc/rc.my'  $BUILDDIR/boot/loader.conf
echo exec /bin/sh  $BUILDDIR/etc/rc.my
# you probably should script /etc/rc.my and
# mount rw memory fs over /var, /tmp, and others

# add useful packages
mount -t devfs devfs $BUILDDIR/dev
for pkg in apg-2.3.0b_1 bonnie++-1.93.04 stress-1.0.0; do
cp /home/pkgs/${pkg}.tbz $BUILDDIR/
chroot $BUILDDIR pkg_add /${pkg}.tbz
rm $BUILDDIR/${pkg}.tbz
done
umount $BUILDDIR/dev

# generate ssh keys
chroot $BUILDDIR /etc/rc.d/sshd keygen


# mkisofs -quiet -b boot/cdboot -no-emul-boot -r -iso-level 4 -V my
live cd -o /home/my_live_cd.iso $BUILDDIR
# burncd -v -s max data /home/my_live_cd.iso fixate




You can even read some new manpages while fixing servers :)

 Typed by hand but I'm pretty sure it is correct.

 Don't know if it is significant but repeating the panic gave quite a few

 Post them too. If only numbers are different and stack is same that
 could help even more.

 Is photos ok or do you need text?

Whatever, just let it be complete.

And in the end, the world almost never heard of Linux and would have had BSD 
everywhere. Linus stated that he prob would have never made Linux if the 
litigation around BSD 4.4 had ended earlier. 

But why he feels like he can take over the GNU OS just because he made the 
kernel never made sense to me. I'm glad the GNU project finally got Hurd going 
though, even though they too almost went with a BSD 4.4 based kernel before 
Linux came along

AW: Can't get ndis0 working

2009-05-14 Thread Walter, Richard
Hello,

thank you for the fast answer, it's good to hear that I wasn't
totally wrong with my efforts.
I will try some other drivers, but I won't spend too much time.
I think I will buy one of the supported USB sticks.

Best regards

Richard

 3) i copied those files to /sys/modules/if_ndis
 4) # iconv -c -f utf-16 -t ascii bcmwl5.inf  bcmwl5.inf.ascii

Yes, hosts on the same IP network, which of course are on the same
broadcast domain, are able to communicate with each other with no
other intermediates. A gateway is required only if you want to
communicate with other networks. So, you have to create, let's say,
3 virtual PCs:
1) host_a on network A
2) host_b on network B
3) router_a on both networks A and B

That's all.

I guess, qemu uses the multicast solution to create virtual
broadcast domains, like a switch does. qemu, I guess, has no
knowledge of what happens on these ethernets, like a real ethernet
switch. It's a real cool solution, since the user is able to
create networks than can span several physical machines.

Maybe you should use socket instead of mcast, don't really
know the pros and cons of those two.

Last but not least, since you seem to look for a learning tool, let
me suggest two great ones:
1) imunes, you need vmware player for a quick start.
http://www.imunes.net/virtnet/
2) netkit
http://wiki.netkit.org/index.php/Download_Official

I have extensively used imunes and it's great.
You should also check netkit. In case, it matters, the latter
is GNU/Linux based.

Thank you twice: the communication between 2 virtual PCs works.
Now should I configure another virtual PC as a gateway with a netmask, say, 
255.0.0.0? The virtual PC have a calss B netmask.
I will also try the tools I've suggested to me.

The problem is that ping is a setuid binary, so qemu cant send a ping
into the outside world as an ordinary user process. I think you may be
able to ping between two emulated machine within qemu. Even if you
can't it might be worth staying with qemu's networking, if pings aren't
essential, as it sounds closer to what you need than networking via
tap.

issues with Intel Pro/1000 and 1000baseTX

2009-05-14 Thread James Tanis
I have a FreeBSD v7.0 box it has two Intel Pro/1000 NICs, the one in 
question is:


em1: Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Connection Version - 6.7.3 port 
0x2020-0x203f mem 0xd806-0xd807,0xd804-0xd805 irq 19 at 
device 0.1 on pci4


what we get after boot is:

em1: flags=8943UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST metric 0 
mtu 1500

   options=19bRXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,VLAN_HWCSUM,TSO4
   ether 00:30:48:xx:xx:xx
   inet 192.168.1.1 netmask 0xff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255
   media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX full-duplex)
   status: active

The problem is that the NIC refuses to connect at 1000baseTX.

It's connected to a HP Procurve 1700-24 switch which supports 1000baseTX 
on ports 23 and 24. This particular computer is connected on port 24. I 
have a much older end user system which uses the same card (but earlier 
revision), runs Windows XP and is plugged in to port 23. The end user 
system has no problem connecting at 1000baseTX. I have of course tried 
switching ports.


Attempting to force 1000baseTX via:

ifconfig em1 media 1000baseTX mediaopt full-duplex

gets me:

status: no carrier

After forcing the NIC to go 1000baseTX the LEDs on the backpane are both 
off. I can only come to the conclusion that this is a driver issue based 
on previous experience and the simple fact that the end user system is 
capable of connecting at 1000baseTX. Anybody have any suggestions? I'm 
hoping I'm wrong. I'd rather not do an in-place upgrade, this is a 
production system and the main gateway for an entire school, when I do 
not even know for sure whether this will fix the problem. It's worth it 
to me though, having a 1000baseTX uplink from the switch would remove a 
major bottleneck for me.


Any help would be appreciated.

I'm going to point the finger at the possibility of the Ethernet cable
itself.

Gigabit link requires CAT5e or better (CAT6).  A CAT5 alone is NOT enough to
give gigabit speeds.  Check the markings on the cable, replace if it's not a
5e or 6 and try again.  This includes the discussion of proper terminating
and twist requirements.

Re: issues with Intel Pro/1000 and 1000baseTX

2009-05-14 Thread Bill Moran
In response to James Tanis jta...@mdchs.org:

 I have a FreeBSD v7.0 box it has two Intel Pro/1000 NICs, the one in 
 question is:
 
 em1: Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Connection Version - 6.7.3 port 
 0x2020-0x203f mem 0xd806-0xd807,0xd804-0xd805 irq 19 at 
 device 0.1 on pci4
 
 what we get after boot is:
 
 em1: flags=8943UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST metric 0 
 mtu 1500
 options=19bRXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,VLAN_HWCSUM,TSO4
 ether 00:30:48:xx:xx:xx
 inet 192.168.1.1 netmask 0xff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255
 media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX full-duplex)
 status: active
 
 The problem is that the NIC refuses to connect at 1000baseTX.
 
 It's connected to a HP Procurve 1700-24 switch which supports 1000baseTX 
 on ports 23 and 24. This particular computer is connected on port 24. I 
 have a much older end user system which uses the same card (but earlier 
 revision), runs Windows XP and is plugged in to port 23. The end user 
 system has no problem connecting at 1000baseTX. I have of course tried 
 switching ports.
 
 Attempting to force 1000baseTX via:
 
 ifconfig em1 media 1000baseTX mediaopt full-duplex
 
 gets me:
 
 status: no carrier
 
 After forcing the NIC to go 1000baseTX the LEDs on the backpane are both 
 off. I can only come to the conclusion that this is a driver issue based 
 on previous experience and the simple fact that the end user system is 
 capable of connecting at 1000baseTX. Anybody have any suggestions? I'm 
 hoping I'm wrong. I'd rather not do an in-place upgrade, this is a 
 production system and the main gateway for an entire school, when I do 
 not even know for sure whether this will fix the problem. It's worth it 
 to me though, having a 1000baseTX uplink from the switch would remove a 
 major bottleneck for me.

While it's _possible_ that this is a driver issue, it's much more likely
(in my experience) that it's a mismatch between the two network devices
(the HP and the NIC).

Try forcing on both ends (I assume the Procurve will allow you to do that).
One thing I've seen consistently is that if you force the speed/duplex on
one end, the other end will still try to autoneg, and will end up with
something stupid like 100baseT/half-duplex, or will give up and disable
the port.

Also, try autoneg on both ends.  Make absolutely sure the Procurve is set
to autoneg.

Replace the cable.  If the cable is marginal, autoneg will downgrade the
speed to ensure reliability.  Use a cable that you know will produce
1000baseTX because you've tested it on other systems.

Try switching out the NIC.  Manufacturing QA isn't 100% reliable, sometimes
you get a card that's just flaky.

Hope this helps.

Ok, I just did that -- I have now attempted to force 1000baseTX on both

Also, try autoneg on both ends.  Make absolutely sure the Procurve is set

This was the original set up. It is also how I have it set up currently, 
it results in 100baseTX full-duplex on both sides.

Replace the cable.  If the cable is marginal, autoneg will downgrade the

Well, I don't have any verified working cable of the appropriate length 
so I simply switched out the cables for the main server and the backup 
server. They are both cat6 cables crimped with cat5e modules by me. For 
what reason (bad crimp job?) that seemed to fix the issue.

The only reason to need an editor and not have /usr and /var available is to

/rescue/sed, without having to worry about a terminal.

In all other cases:

All IP addressing is pretty much automated in imunes, so you
can create quickly the needed simulation environment. It's
also somehow integrated with quagga, so you can use dynamic
routing(OSPF, RIP, BGP and maybe IS-IS) besides static routing.

But, anyway, it's a time saver to have all network interfaces

  The solution is to replace re with something else - em for example, but
  there is no guarantee it's going to work - I had same problems on
  crappy hardware with two identical interfaces plugged in (some model of
  em - IRRC Intel PRO/1000 GT)

 Yes, you are most likely right but I am left wondering why this has never
 been a problem on 7.0-Release...?

Run a 7.0-RELEASE kernel to be sure of this. It can just be that the hardware 
went bad around the same time you upgraded.
Bad cable or negotiation with a switch are also causes of this. See the 
DIAGNOSTICS section of the re driver.

Re: csup source tree as of a certian date

 hello,
 
 I would like to know how to obtain the FreeBSD -CURRENT source tree as
 of 4-29-2009 (anywhere in that day is fine)
 
 I normally run this command to follow -CURRENT
 
 csup -g -L 2 -h cvsup15.freebsd.org /usr/share/examples/cvsup/standard-supfile
 
 as my kernel now panics on a i386 kernel as of today, as well as
 5-1-2009 (A source tree I had on a alternate machine)
 
 What would I have to modify to move my source tree back to say the
 april 29th or so?
 
 I have a kernel from 4-13-2009 that works fine. so I have a window to
 track down the trouble.

Have you tried: 
*default date=2009.04.28.23.59.59

Back when I had to get the old XOrg, *default date' in my ports-supfile
returned me to sanity ...

Worked Great, Thanks Don, although 4-29-2009 still caused the panic
I could see from the csup output that I was getting the date specified.
I will just keep going back further.

Thanks Again.

 Well, I don't have any verified working cable of the appropriate length 
 so I simply switched out the cables for the main server and the backup 
 server. They are both cat6 cables crimped with cat5e modules by me. For 
 what reason (bad crimp job?) that seemed to fix the issue.

QC on patch cables is sketchy.  Most places are usually good, but
even the best companies will have a bad crimp every now and again.

Add to that how they are generally handled ... I mean, statistically
there's a good chance that cable was on the floor and someone stepped

However, there's no need when it's either copy-paste or click, and
just confuses things.

Also, Torvalds talks about stuff like that far too much. It's only
fair to call it GNU/Linux; it IS GNU on top of the Linux kernel. It's

Announcing: FreeBSD custom build iso available

2009-05-14 Thread Manolis Kiagias
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hey all,

I believe this list (and probably the forums) would be the best place
to announce one of my little projects, namely the building of custom
FreeBSD install discs (DVD sized for desktops, CD sized for servers)
with the latest release and  updated packages.

I have been experimenting lately with 'make release' and ports'
building using ports-mgmt/tinderbox. I am using a dedicated system for
building the base system and packages. The purpose of this experiment
(besides the educational value of it) is to allow me to build FreeBSD
discs with custom and up to date packages. These will in turn reduce
significantly the amount of time required to install new systems (esp.
desktops which need hundred of packages).

Glen Barber, who is also frequenting this list, has once again offered
(as with the openoffice packages) lots of his webspace and bandwidth,
allowing me to host the images so others can also benefit from this
work. At this time, the first  image is already uploaded and you can
obtain it from this directory:

http://freebsd.dev-urandom.com/iso/i386/xfce-desktop/

This is just short of 1GB and contains the following:

- - FreeBSD 7.2-RELEASE base system (standard bootable / installable disc)
- - Selection of custom packages that can be installed either during
installation via sysinstall or at a later time (again using sysinstall
or pkg_add etc).

Here is a short list of packages contained in this: abiword, aspell,
bash, bluefish, cdrtools, dvd+rw-tools, firefox3, gimp, gnash, evince,
gnumeric, gnupg1, inkscape, pkg_rmleaves, portaudit, portupgrade, rar,
unrar, zip, unzip, sudo, ristretto, samba3, thunderbird, wbar, xfce4,
some xfce4 plugins, xfburn, xorg, linux_base-fc4

Many other useful packages are also included as dependencies of the
ones listed above. This iso does not contain openoffice (to keep the
size smaller) and multimedia apps (to avoid licensing problems).
Future versions of the builds may have broader / different selection
of packages, depending on the feedback received by the community.

Installation is no different than an official FreeBSD CD, other than
when you reach the package selection screen, you will be shown the
custom set of packages. The ports tree included in the CD is the one
used to actually build the packages. I will soon upload a tarball with
the options used - not all packages where built with the default options.

When you finish downloading, I recommend checking the integrity of the
file using the MD5 or SHA256 file that are also present in the
download directory. An 'asc' gpg signature file is also present and
can be used to verify the authenticity of the download. This is
particularly important if you obtain the iso file from means other
than the download link supplied here. It is signed with the same key
as this email.

Obviously I can built many different images (only 32bit for the moment
though), like i.e. a GNOME or KDE4 version. I started up with XFCE
since this is not provided by default in the official isos.  I also
intend to track the FreeBSD 7.2-RELEASE security branch for the base
system.

Feedback, ideas, requests, criticism are all welcome. Please contact
me via email.

Thanks!

Is anyone else having this problem?  Any suggestions?

If you mean flickering lines around the cursor in certain screen

Re: Wake-on-LAN support in FreeBSD?

I just noticed my 7.2-R i386 PC-Engines ALIX2 board with vr devices show up 
(WOL_UCAST,WOL_MAGIC) in the ifconfig listing. Seems they're making some of 
it available in 7.2-RELEASE 
 
I'll have to test/try this out, I'm glad I'm starting to see it happen. 

Unfortunately we're pretty much stuck on 7.0...

Re: issues with Intel Pro/1000 and 1000baseTX

2009-05-14 Thread Olivier Nicole
 Well, I don't have any verified working cable of the appropriate length 
 so I simply switched out the cables for the main server and the backup 
 server. They are both cat6 cables crimped with cat5e modules by me. For 
 what reason (bad crimp job?) that seemed to fix the issue.

On stranded cable, it often happens that some wire will swap when you
insert the connector. Remember that to work at gigabit, you need the
four twisted pairs to be properly set: more risks to make a mistake...

I know I prefer to buy my patch cords (stranded cables) ready made,
while I can do the wall wiring (solid cable) by myself.

Bests,

Olivier

 This is just short of 1GB and contains the following:

 - Selection of custom packages that can be installed either during

Hi Manoli,

 I just installed one of the freebies from FOSSCOMM minutes ago, and

Emailing 100+ PDFs, one at a time, to a given address

2009-05-14 Thread Kelly Jones
I need to email 100s of PDFs, 1 per email, to a given address.

What's the easiest way to do this?

/usr/bin/Mail won't work, since
PDFs are binary, so I must first BASE64 encode them.

I could write a Perl script to BASE64 encode them and MIME-wrap them,
but is there an existing tool for this?

If you can install mail/mutt, you can replace (for the most part)
/usr/bin/mail with /usr/local/bin/mutt and still script it.

 Try forcing on both ends (I assume the Procurve will allow you to do that).
 One thing I've seen consistently is that if you force the speed/duplex on
 one end, the other end will still try to autoneg, and will end up with
 something stupid like 100baseT/half-duplex, or will give up and disable
 the port.
   
 Ok, I just did that -- I have now attempted to force 1000baseTX on both 
 sides and on one side while the other was left auto, all three possible 
 combinations resulted in the same behavior (no carrier).
 Also, try autoneg on both ends.  Make absolutely sure the Procurve is set
 to autoneg.
   
 This was the original set up. It is also how I have it set up currently, 
 it results in 100baseTX full-duplex on both sides.
 Replace the cable.  If the cable is marginal, autoneg will downgrade the
 speed to ensure reliability.  Use a cable that you know will produce
 1000baseTX because you've tested it on other systems.
   
 Well, I don't have any verified working cable of the appropriate length 
 so I simply switched out the cables for the main server and the backup

This is clear indication of cabling issue. PHY of em(4) will try
to fix all cabling problem with auto MDI/MDIX/polarity correction.
If the PHY couldn't establish a 1000baseT link with link partner it
would downshift to 100baseTX as establishing a 1000baseT link was
not possible due to cabling problems(probably missing wiring).

 Thanks for the advice!

It's not that you spend hours of dialog sessions in SUM.
Remember: It's a worst case scenario. If everything fails,
the /bin/sh still works, and it helps you get things working
again.

It's not that I would like to use sh as a dialog shell, there
are definitely better ones. But it's the system's standard
scripting shell, and sufficient for recovering a defective
system.



 And I said if you know what you're doing. My root shell 
 is less prone to break then the standard csh shell, because I compile it 
 statically (and also on the / partition).

That's a completely valid solution - better than just chsh
and then trouble. :-)

  I have a FreeBSD v7.0 box it has two Intel Pro/1000 NICs, the one in

  The problem is that the NIC refuses to connect at 1000baseTX.
  
  It's connected to a HP Procurve 1700-24 switch which supports 1000baseTX 
  on ports 23 and 24. This particular computer is connected on port 24. I 
  have a much older end user system which uses the same card (but earlier 
  revision), runs Windows XP and is plugged in to port 23. The end user 
  system has no problem connecting at 1000baseTX. I have of course tried 
  switching ports.

 While it's _possible_ that this is a driver issue, it's much more likely

 (the HP and the NIC).

No, this is not a stupid thing, it's result of parallel detection.
See IEEE 802.3 Std 28.2.3.1 for more details. This is one of reason

 Try switching out the NIC.  Manufacturing QA isn't 100% reliable, sometimes
 you get a card that's just flaky.

In the last episode (May 14), vuthecuong said:

 from ports?

Nope; all the jdk ports install into separate directories.  There is a
javavmwrapper port that installs as /usr/local/bin/java and decides on the
best jvm to use based on some environment variables (see the javavm manpage
for details).  You can always override its choice by setting JAVA_HOME to
whichever jvm you want.
