OpenMP
Hello. I'm trying to use OpenMP in C++ on FreeBSD 6.3p10/i386 and I'm totally stuck. First off, base system's gcc (3.4.6) does not include OpenMP support, so I'm using gcc 4.2.5 from ports (I also tried 4.3.4, but that does not make much difference). I've added the flag -fopenmp to the command line: this enables parsing of #pragma omp directives, but results in undefined references at compilation time. So I also added -lgomp (although Google suggests it should be automatically picked up). Now the program compiles and links fine, but at runtime, as soon as the #pragmaed function is called, I get again undefined references (to GOMP_parallel_start, GOMP_parallel_end, omp_get_num_threads and omp_get_thread_num). I tried removing the #pragmas (so OpenMP is not used, altough enabled and linked in), and so I get Bad system call (core dumped) at runtime. gdb tells me this happens in ksem_init and Google again helps by telling me I need to put options P1003_1B_SEMAPHORES (from NOTES) in my kernel config, or kldload sem. The problem is, all these messages are very old: _ kldload sem results in No such file or directory; _ a sysvsem.ko exists in /boot/kernel, but kldload sysvsem results in File exists (I have in fact options SYSVSEM in my kernel config); _ my system's NOTES bears no mention of P1003_1B_SEMAPHORES; _ man sem still reports FreeBSD 6.2 at the bottom. So I was wondering if these suggestions are still valid, or if something changed before 6.3 was released; on the other hand, is 6.3 too old and would upgrading to some newer version solve this matter? Any other hint or info is appreciated. bye Thanks av. ___ 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

Re: SMTP Authentication
Check if /usr/local/lib/sasl2/liblogin.so exists - if not you have to recompile sasl with LOGIN mech support. Check in your .mc file if you define confAUTH_OPTIONS macro. If you do make sure 'p' parameter is not on the list or LOGIN would be available only after TLS encryption which is not a case for you as your working configuration offers LOGIN during telnet session (it's actually a bad idea to do authentication clear text).

Only libipc.so and ipc.xpt count) $ cd ~/.mozilla/firefox/the_firefox_profile $ touch .autoreg (And restart firefox3). With that, firegpg add-on works flawlessly.

The installer works fine but as soon as I start the VM after the installation, the bootloader hangs, sometimes showing one character and other times it doesn't show anything. Is this a known problem? Are there any workarounds. Is there any place I can check for debug logs.

The more I read the instructions, the less I understand. And almost nothing works as it should Some background: I have been using FreeBSD as a LAN server (for files storage web development/backup etc. and part desktop for more than 10 years. I have never had great success when it comes to installation but have managed to get it running and have even kept on v. 4.10 for archiving older sites I have had. The older methods of upgrading worked well enough even though they were somewhat lengthy. Last week I finally managed to set up an Acer Travelmate 4400 amd64 with FreeBSD 7.2 and even got everything right. For the first time I was able to get Flash Shockwave to work on a FreeBSD installation. With a bit of help from this list. Thanks, guys. However, I have not been able to figure out how a custom kernel could be set up nor how the new modular system works. Haven't found any coherent explanations. But now I have the following problems: PROBLEM 1. I freebsd-update fetch did not get the security patches or whatever else it should - all I got was error: configuration file not found Does /etc/freebsd-update.conf exist? PROBLEM 2. There seems to be some confusion about how to update and keep current the ports - portsnap seems to work in concert with portversion; there are some problems when one uses portsnap as there are with cvsup. The two seem necessary since some errors inn installing cannot be handled by both... If, for example, it is necessary to delete the port completely and reinstall it, portsnap just does not do it. I does not see that the port direcotry is empty; cvsup does and fills it in so the error can be correcte and the port properly installed. Portsnap only updates the ports tree (the directories under /usr/ports), not the installed ports themselves. You'll need either /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/portupgrade or /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/portmaster to keep installed ports up to date. I prefer portmaster since it doesn't depend on a separate database as portupgrade does. Depending on how long it has been since you've updated your ports and the speed of your machine, updates can indeed take a long time. You could choose to use pre-built packages instead of compiling from source, to speed things up. PROBLEM 3. I always have been running with a custom kernel. So, to upgrade I am supposed to provide the GENERIC kernel in /boot. Ok, I went through that process as per manual instructions. Did you check that the GENERIC kernel that you built was installed as /boot/kernel/kernel? Had to reboot as I needed to transfer some downloaded files from the 7.1 box to the 7.0 box for port upgrading. It is unclear to me why you should have to reboot to transfer files... If you want to e.g. connect two machines with an ethernet cable, are you aware that you can use the scripts in /etc/rc.d to stop and restart networking? And why not just transfer files with a USB thumbdrive? That was a mistake. Nothing indicated that I could not reboot without screwing things up... of course, I should have known better; but I'm prone to that kind of error. But I'm pretty sure that the automatic upgrade would not have worked anyway as it doesn't work on the machine with 7.0 installed. Without a more thorough description of the steps that you followed, there is not really a lot others can do to help you. From your description it is totally unclear what has gone wrong. Booting on this 7.1 machine is now impossible. I tried to boot from the install CD but that only made it worse. As I understood the instruction it would upgrade the machine, but I understand now that it just doesn't work that way... it has to be upgraded from a 7.2 CD. That I don't have at the moment. So the boot now just says: Invalid format FreeBSD/i386 boot Default: 0:ad(0,a)/boot/kernel/kernel boot: - Type ? at the boot prompt to see a list of files in the root directory of the default boot device. Read the boot(8) manual page. It could be that something went wrong with your disk. Mabye the slices or partitions were deleted. PROBLEM 4. The machine with 7.1 - after a complete ports upgrade, I tried # freebsd-update -r 7.2-RELEASE upgrade and I get the famous no configuration file found. Does this configuration file (see above) exist? Somehow, I don't recall that being indicated anywhere in the manual. Oh, I did read it... several times... and the more I read it, the more I didn't understand anything - from mergemaster to the configuration file to the modular kernels ... Maybe someone could explain to me just

Re: Striping a live file system RAID 10 help
On Wednesday 29 July 2009 15:54:42 Richard Fairbanks wrote: OK, so this is what I want to do. I have 4 big fast drives that I want to run in RAID 10 (1+0). So, I'll need to mirror two sets of two disks, then stripe those two mirrors. So, how do I do this if I want this striped set of mirrors to be my entire fs? I can create both mirrors and have the entire fs on one of the mirrors (*mirror0*), but then I need to stripe it with the other mirrors (*mirror1*), and trying to create a stripe (*stripe*) from that a set of mirrors in which one of the mirrors contains the live file system does not work, obviously. I was thinking, very generally, of creating the fstab file that I'll need to point to the stripe instead of ad4 for example, rsyncing everything to a disk on a diffferent server, using a live CD to create the stripe, then rsyncing back to the stripe. I don't know if this will work, and haven't even come to a conclusion of the particulars needed. When changing disk configurations on the same server I generally do everything by hand, then use dump+restore (rather than rsync) to move (UFS) filesystems around. (ZFS has zfs send/recv). Of course, if there is a way to create the striped set off mirrors before installation then installing onto that stripe, that'd be perfect. I don't know if that can be done. I'm sure someone has configured a RAID 10 standalone system before. (Oh, I'm using 7.2). I'm just stuck at this point! You need to consider where/how you are going to boot the system. It's straightforward to boot from a gmirror'ed UFS filesystem (the BIOS just uses one disk and thinks everything is normal), but you can't do the same from a stripe. You will either need a separate disk/device for your / or /boot partition or you will need to use slices/partitions on your disks. I frequently have the root filesystem on a small gmirror (partitions on 2 disks) then use the equivalent extra space on the remaining disk(s) for swap. Youi should be able to do this pre-install from the Fixit shell. Boot to the live CD, enter the shell, kldload geom_mirror and geom_stripe, create the mirrors, create the stripe, exit the shell, start the install, and tell sysinstall to use the device node under /dev/stripe for your filesystem. Alternatively you could just do a regular install to one of the disks and do everything post-install. In this case you'd still create two mirrors but one of them would only contain a single disk at first. Then create your stripe, dump/restore your files, update fstab (in both locations if needed), reboot using the stripe, then add the original system disk into its mirror. If you provide more details of how you want your setup to look I can give you a specific walkthrough if needed.

Re: Striping a live file system RAID 10 help
2009/7/30 John Nielsen li...@jnielsen.net On Wednesday 29 July 2009 15:54:42 Richard Fairbanks wrote: OK, so this is what I want to do. I have 4 big fast drives that I want to run in RAID 10 (1+0). So, I'll need to mirror two sets of two disks, then stripe those two mirrors. So, how do I do this if I want this striped set of mirrors to be my entire fs? I can create both mirrors and have the entire fs on one of the mirrors (*mirror0*), but then I need to stripe it with the other mirrors (*mirror1*), and trying to create a stripe (*stripe*) from that a set of mirrors in which one of the mirrors contains the live file system does not work, obviously. I was thinking, very generally, of creating the fstab file that I'll need to point to the stripe instead of ad4 for example, rsyncing everything to a disk on a diffferent server, using a live CD to create the stripe, then rsyncing back to the stripe. I don't know if this will work, and haven't even come to a conclusion of the particulars needed. When changing disk configurations on the same server I generally do everything by hand, then use dump+restore (rather than rsync) to move (UFS) filesystems around. (ZFS has zfs send/recv). Of course, if there is a way to create the striped set off mirrors before installation then installing onto that stripe, that'd be perfect. I don't know if that can be done. I'm sure someone has configured a RAID 10 standalone system before. (Oh, I'm using 7.2). I'm just stuck at this point! You need to consider where/how you are going to boot the system. It's straightforward to boot from a gmirror'ed UFS filesystem (the BIOS just uses one disk and thinks everything is normal), but you can't do the same from a stripe. You will either need a separate disk/device for your / or /boot partition or you will need to use slices/partitions on your disks. I frequently have the root filesystem on a small gmirror (partitions on 2 disks) then use the equivalent extra space on the remaining disk(s) for swap. Youi should be able to do this pre-install from the Fixit shell. Boot to the live CD, enter the shell, kldload geom_mirror and geom_stripe, create the mirrors, create the stripe, exit the shell, start the install, and tell sysinstall to use the device node under /dev/stripe for your filesystem. Alternatively you could just do a regular install to one of the disks and do everything post-install. In this case you'd still create two mirrors but one of them would only contain a single disk at first. Then create your stripe, dump/restore your files, update fstab (in both locations if needed), reboot using the stripe, then add the original system disk into its mirror. If you provide more details of how you want your setup to look I can give you a specific walkthrough if needed.

There will be a very basic minimum system present that contains some tools which may be useful. Once booted you should be able to mount the problematic file systems from the hard disk and possibly make repairs. It is probably best to utilize the same version as the OS you are trying to repair. I get errors that the file system is full and I have no idea of how to deal with the boot up - the help message is no help! It may be that you need to locate something you can delete so that the file system is now un-full. Boot says it cannot find a kernel... surely there must be some kind of recovery process even if nothing has been backed up. There are recovery processes available, but mostly this involves a knowledgeable sysadmin and not some magic bullet automated software. This skill requires an in-depth understanding of how the OS functions, and this can take a while to learn. Along with making some mistakes along the way to have something with which to practice on. :-) Surely FreeBSD must be have something that functions like certain software does on MS ? Why would FreeBSD be concerned with being like $MS? Going down this path is a waste of time. Forget the $MS and learn the FreeBSD. The learning curve is initially very steep if all you've ever known is $MS, but if you plug away at it you will at some point crest the hill and have a light bulb goes on moment where all of the sudden a lot of disparate material solidifies into something cohesive. I don't have a problem with irrecoverable files, I would just finally understand how things work and what can be done on FBSD. TIA. PJ Not knowing more details can lead to dangerous advice in this kind of situation. It may be something as simple as boot0cfg -B -d 0 is all you need. Blindly giving and following such advice without knowing all the circumstances may quickly escalate into disaster. An example would be something like you are triple booting 3 different OS's with Grub and us not knowing that. You should probably read the man pages for fdisk, disklabel, and boot0cfg and see/learn what particular command will extricate you from the situation you are presently more familiar with than us. Get it wrong and it will only get worse.

Ports in most cases has very little to do with what FBSD version you are running. Blaming it on a version when it had nothing to do with the problem is ignorant and harmful. Some like myself think the arrogance of pointing fingers on FreeBSD when it's clearly not at fault is a very poor approach in many regards. You'd need to man up and read the new X documentation on whatever X platform you use anyway, it's not limited to FreeBSD. Updating libraries is a chore, no dispute there, but if it's such an issue that you can't research it, stick to packages. Neither of you have actually stated a flaw specific to 7.2 Release.

Especially before big upgrades. Maybe the real problem is that the manual is too screwed up (why are there so many problems being brought up on the mailing lists? we can't all be that stupid.) It is a mailing list for questions. Ipso facto you'll see questions and problems on this list. People who are not having problems will not be posting very much. :-) As to the handbook, this is by necessity written by people who are knowledgeable on the subject they write on. Unfortunately this sometimes lead to really basic steps/assumptions being skipped because they are self-evident for the writer. If you gain enough knowledge about a subject it becomes really hard to write for people new to the system because you've internalized a lot of stuff by then. If you have specific questions about parts of the handbook, ask.

I disagree with that. It even says on the FreeBSD web site FreeBSD® is an advanced operating system for modern server, desktop The key is that the Xorg software is *not* part of FreeBSD. It may work, it may not. A FreeBSD release is shipped with the intention that all software in base and kernel are working by default and if it's not, the FreeBSD developers claim responsibility for fixing it. The line is gray where it comes to X11, yet it's still a line. I have used FreeBSD on the desktop for about 6 years (but not yet running 7.2). It has mostly been a pleasure. I didn't like it when X was changed to individual packages, as it now takes considerably longer to install. And the output from pkg_info takes correspondingly longer to search through. It also installs two scripting languages (Perl and Python). I haven't had a problem configuring X for years. I never claimed that FreeBSD can't be used on a desktop, I've been doing that since 4.7-RELEASE. Whether you and me can do it, is not up for dispute. What is, is that bugs are attributed to 7.2-RELEASE, which are all bugs in 3rd party software and should be reported to ports@, with proper information if people care about those problems getting fixed. Even then it may be out of the hands of those volunteers, if it relies on propriety software of which the developers have expressed no interest to support FreeBSD (like flash). If something has changed which then causes problems to end users, then that is not good. And it's no good telling people use PCBSD or something else. That's not what we want. We want to use FreeBSD on the desktop. And we are. It's not for everybody and PCBSD is a FreeBSD desktop system specifically created for people that don't want to do all the configuring and troubleshooting that may come with installing a desktop system. PCBSD is FreeBSD (the latest major version -STABLE), with extra effort to make things easier and people claiming responsibility for a working graphical desktop. Don't try and put people off using FreeBSD. It would be much better to help them resolves the problems they are having. As said above, PCBSD is FreeBSD. And for many, it is the best help one can give. One must first learn to walk, if one wants to run. Also, if you _really_ want things to change for *BSD, then you should acquire a group of people that are willing and able to fork Xorg, get rid of it's hal and python dependency, repackage sensibly and do some proper release engineering. Especially the latter is what is causing the problems of late. Either that, or convince the Xorg people to do that. -- Mel ___ 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

There's nothing wrong i386, at least in the regard you're suggesting. Try searching deeper within yourself for the issue. -- Adam Vande More I don't think that answer was helpful. It's the right answer though. PJ is not alone in frustration regarding 7.2. For many users, it's hard to tell whether the balance of difficulties lies in bugs or new manual configuration requirements of 7.2. I think much of the frustration lies in our perception of STABLE. When we upgraded from 7.1 (or 7.0), we expected a fairly smooth ride. I had frustrations related to X (hal), mounting drives (hal), printing (cups vs applications), and printing (gimp vs hpijs). Yes, I read the (uncentralized) documentation. I think release CD's should not contain packages anymore, cause everything you describe here, has absolutely nothing to do with FreeBSD 7.2, but with 3rd party software that happened to be packaged at release time. You should really be using PCBSD if you want a packaged desktop system, for which the developers claim responsibility and for which much (if not all) of the configuration has been done for you. When using FreeBSD you are expected to understand the handbook, configure things on your own and be able to troubleshoot problems and/or provide the right information in case you need help. If you can't do this, then FreeBSD is not the right tool for you. No harm in that, nobody forces you to use FreeBSD nor will convict you for using an OS that suits you better. -- Mel Your answer is presumptuous. You've already assumed that my problems lie in my inability or lack of willingness to read the documentation and perform configuration. I have been running X on FreeBSD successfully since version 4.0 and have been reading documentation and configuring my system since 2000. I'm not just talking about X, I'm talking about postfix, postgresql, samba, apache with webdav over ssl, etc. I am having far more trouble with a STABLE release than I had with 5.0. After searching many decentralized sources of the sacred documentation (when will the brow beating end?) and reconfiguring my system, I am still having problems. I have been to PC-BSD and back again. I prefer some of my own configurations. If I, after these 8 to 9 years, am having a surprising level of difficulty, I would prefer not to be handily dismissed as a spoon-fed noob. It is easy, and technically correct, to separate the core FreeBSD system from the ports. This I grant you. Beyond the initial clarification, however, it is not the least bit useful. To the world of FreeBSD users, even many of the technically advanced users, FreeBSD would lose much of its usefulness without the ports. So, beyond saying that it's not your problem, what have you accomplished? I'll get off my soap box now. If I sound overly frustrated or sound like I'm ranting, it's because I am accustomed to that sense of control that FreeBSD provides.only, I've lost that feeling on the desktop side.

Re: SMTP Authentication
I am very sorry. I forgot to make install to install the /etc/mail/sendmail.cf, so it has only banyan..mc/cf files updated. I always forget the final target is sendmail.cf XD The new server is available for AUTH LOGIN now. The trouble is resolved. Ihor, thank you very mcuh for all helps!

But how do i make this thing work. I've managed to do it on an amd64 on an ACER Travelmate 4400 running at 1600mhz. This box runs on 3ghz; Xorg comes up and the mouse is dead. Flashplayer9 with linux-emulator f8 and all the tweaks does not work, acroread9 does not either, hal is useless. I've tried turning off the option AllowEmptyInput to off; i've tried starting hal - and when I run startx, the configuration file is the default built-in... I don't understand what the hell is going on... None of the solutions on google seem to work either... oh, but there is some sunlight in neverneverland... I can boot and I can install all kinds of files - funny, I don't want to play with this crap... and I certainly am not going to reinstall after all I have gone through... If I do reinstall, it will be another OS. If it all works on amd64, what's wrong with i386? I think it's time to switch to something more reliable. There's nothing wrong i386, at least in the regard you're suggesting. Try searching deeper within yourself for the issue. -- Adam Vande More I don't think that answer was helpful. It's the right answer though. PJ is not alone in frustration regarding 7.2. For many users, it's hard to tell whether the balance of difficulties lies in bugs or new manual configuration requirements of 7.2. I think much of the frustration lies in our perception of STABLE. When we upgraded from 7.1 (or 7.0), we expected a fairly smooth ride. I had frustrations related to X (hal), mounting drives (hal), printing (cups vs applications), and printing (gimp vs hpijs). Yes, I read the (uncentralized) documentation. I think release CD's should not contain packages anymore, cause everything you describe here, has absolutely nothing to do with FreeBSD 7.2, but with 3rd party software that happened to be packaged at release time. You should really be using PCBSD if you want a packaged desktop system, for which the developers claim responsibility and for which much (if not all) of the configuration has been done for you. The paragraph below is a generalized statement, perhaps I should've used 'one' instead of 'you'. When using FreeBSD you are expected to understand the handbook, configure things on your own and be able to troubleshoot problems and/or provide the right information in case you need help. If you can't do this, then FreeBSD is not the right tool for you. No harm in that, nobody forces you to use FreeBSD nor will convict you for using an OS that suits you better. -- Mel Your answer is presumptuous. You've already assumed that my problems lie in my inability or lack of willingness to read the documentation and perform configuration. I have been running X on FreeBSD successfully since version 4.0 and have been reading documentation and configuring my system since 2000. I'm not just talking about X, I'm talking about postfix, postgresql, samba, apache with webdav over ssl, etc. I am having far more trouble with a STABLE release than I had with 5.0. That is very weird, since most of the community regards the 5.x series as the worst in FreeBSD's history. They were a transitional release to dismiss the GIANT locking in favor of fine grained kernel locks as the main design change. I've personally seen significant improvements in both reliability and performance since 5.x, with respect to kernel and base. I'm seeing absolutely no issues with postfix or postgresql (especially since on 64-bit I can now increase kernel memory to satisfy postgresql's SHM requirements), don't have critical samba installations so can't comment on that and webdav over ssl I don't provide at all. Could you point me to some PR's you've filed? You got me curious now. It is easy, and technically correct, to separate the core FreeBSD system from the ports. This I grant you. Beyond the initial clarification, however, it is not the least bit useful. To the world of FreeBSD users, even many of the technically advanced users, FreeBSD would lose much of its usefulness without the ports. So, beyond saying that it's not your problem, what have you accomplished? See $subject. As far as I'm concerned, 7.2 is the best release so far. The OP makes it sound like FreeBSD is the cause of all his problems, while looking at his posts, some can be attributed to himself and the rest to factors beyond FreeBSD's control, probably including hardware. I'll get off my soap box
