switching from one network interface to another without reboot
Hello, How can I switch from one network interface to another without rebooting my system (7.2R)? Problem description: I've got a laptop with two network interfaces (wired em0 and wireless ath0). Every now and then I have to set up a DSL wireless box which comes with default settings so that I have to start with connecting my laptop via em0. em0 gets IP address from wireless box by DHCP. I log in to web interface and set everything up including WLAN and restart wireless box. At this point I would like to switch to ath0 and start using internet connection via wireless box. I'm taking em0 interface down with ifconfig em0 down and unplug the cable. I'm changing /etc/rc.conf entries to: ifconfig_em0=NOAUTO ifconfig_ath0=WPA DHCP Then I'm doing /etc/rc.d/netif restart and ath0 gets IP address via DHCP and is connected to wireless box (/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf is set up). But whenever I try to ping anything (including wireless box) I get interface down message because my system still tries to use em0. What else should I do to tell it that I'm connected to network via ath0 now? Any suggestions are welcome.

But about:plugins shows nothing but the default plugin. Is something else necessary? I think you ran nspluginwrapper as root. If you run it as a normal user it puts the wrapped plugin in ~/.mozilla/plugins where Firefox picks it up. If you run it as root it puts it in /usr/local/lib/browser_plugins. Firefox 2.x and some other browsers scan this directory, but newer versions don't for some reason. You have to create a symlink in /usr/local/lib/firefox3/plugins/ to the npwrapper plugin in /usr/local/lib/browser_plugins/ That works! I had first run nspluginwrapper -a -i as normal user, then as root. The Handbook says: -- Once the right Flash port, according to the FreeBSD version you run, is installed, the plugin must be installed by each user with nspluginwrapper: % nspluginwrapper -v -a -i -- So you should not run it as root. Let me clarify: I did not run it as root until after it didn't work as a normal user. Or at least I thought I didn't. Now, having removed the link in /usr/local/lib/firefox3/plugins and making sure that npwrapper.libflashplayer.so was not present in /usr/local/lib/browser_plugins, nspluginwrapper and Flash as a normal user works. -Warren Block * Rapid City, South Dakota USA ___ 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
desktop effects
I'm running freebsd 7.2p3, kde4.3.0, X7.4_2, and using the radeon X driver. I get an error dialog when I enable desktop effects. Can anyone enable desktop effects?

KVM and serial console don't answer the question either. Certainly, it makes it easier to work headless. But neither prevent disk corruption. UPS reduces the likelyhood of a crash in case of a power failure, but that doesn't answer the question either. Asume that a crash will happen, how do I prevent or reduce the risk of a crash causing disk corruption such that the system will boot up nicely again? You could mount all system partitions ro (using memory fs for /tmp and /var) Setting the noauto option for your data partitions in fstab will allmost guarantee the system to boot to multiuser after a crash. You can then mount these partitions from a script in for example rc.local. If these mounts fail, the system will then not drop to single user mode.

This indicates that the FreeBSD Project believes that the branch is of sufficiently proven quality to be used by a wide range of users. Branches that need further testing before being widely adopted are named CURRENT. Yes, the snapshot is of a STABLE version when it is past the totally on the edge CURRENT condition. It is pretty close to becoming a RELEASE version. Generally only some more testing and getting ports ready for that version separates STABLE from RELEASE. CURRENT is where new development is happening. In some sense CURRENT is akin to an early (pre) Alpha version, STABLE is akin to a late Beta (almost release) version and RELEASE is the supported release of the version. But it is not quite that. Most companies do not put out their development source or a snapshot of of the system as they are working on it. They hold that secret and only release something after pretty much everything locked in before they let anyone in the public see it. jerry ___ 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 ___ 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

No Device Node assigned for HD?
I've a 10 disk server that I am using as a file server. I split the disks up unto 3 partitions, with a being part of a gmirror for /, b being part of a gmirror for swap, and d being part of the zfs pool. I've got 6 SATA headers on my MB, and 4 from a HighPoint RocketRAID 2310 controller which I'm just using as an SATA controller (no RAID functionality). I recently added an Hitachi 1TB drive to the RocketRAID controller, but I'm not seeing FreeBSD assign it a device node. FreeBSD recognizes the drive insertion, but doesn't give it a device node. All the drives are SATA hot-swap, so I connected the drive to a header off the MB and FreeBSD happily gave it a device node. Additionally, I already have a few of these drives in the array, but they're all connected to headers on the MB. This is the first attempt at adding one to the RocketRAID controller. The controller currently has 3 other disks in it that are 500GB, and FreeBSD has had no problems with them. The RocketRAID controller's BIOS recognizes the disk as well, so it doesn't seem the card is incapable of handling disks that large. I've even tried rebooting the system after the drive has been connected, but no luck. Here's the respective info from the boot sequence as it pertains to the RocketRAID and the drives attached to it: hptrr: start channel [0,0] hptrr: start channel [0,1] hptrr: start channel [0,2] hptrr: start channel [0,3] hptrr: [0 0] Start channel soft reset. hptrr: [0 1] Start channel soft reset. hptrr: [0 2] Start channel soft reset. hptrr: [0 3] Start channel soft reset. hptrr: channel [0,0] started successfully hptrr: channel [0,1] started successfully hptrr: channel [0,2] started successfully hptrr: channel [0,3] started successfully hptrr0: [GIANT-LOCKED] hptrr0: [ITHREAD] ... da0 at hptrr0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0 da0: HPT DISK 0_0 4.00 Fixed Direct Access SCSI-0 device da1 at hptrr0 bus 0 target 1 lun 0 da1: HPT DISK 0_1 4.00 Fixed Direct Access SCSI-0 device da2 at hptrr0 bus 0 target 2 lun 0 da2: HPT DISK 0_2 4.00 Fixed Direct Access SCSI-0 device ... The only difference I've found is that in the RocketRAID BIOS, the 3 500GB drives are recognized with a Legacy Status, whereas the 1TB is recognized as New Status. Not sure what that means or how to change it. The sizes are reported correctly in the RocketRAID BIOS. I believe there is a BIOS update available for the card, but I wouldn't think it would be necessary since the card's BIOS seems to recognize the card just fine. Any suggestions/help?

digital camera and devd
Hello,
I've got a Canon digital camera set up and working with gphoto2 via
devfs+devd but it's not elegant/clean enough:
attach 0 {
device-name ugen[0-9]+;
match vendor 0x0123;
match product 0x3210;
match sernum 1234567890;
action devfs rule -s 10 add 100 path $device-name* user joe; \
devfs rule -s 10 add 200 path usb[0-9] user joe; \
devfs rule -s 10 applyset;
};
Problem with this solution is that it changes owner for all /dev/usb
files i.e. usb, usb0, usb1, usb2 and usb3.
How can I check exactly which /dev/usb* entry corresponds to my camera?
And by the way /dev/usb3 means port 3, hub 3 or what are they?
Tried with:
usb_number=`sysctl dev.ugen.0.%location | cut -d '=' -f 2` but it turns
out that it's not what I'm looking for because sometimes when it returns
2 then I still need write access to just /dev/usb3.
Any ideas please?
Michal

Suspend/Resume on Thinkpad x40
Hi all, First off, I apologize if this is not the right forum for this question. I was torn between posting this in mobile, ACPI, X11 and here. If I might get a better response in one of those forums, please let me know and I'll post there instead. I'm having some trouble getting the kinks worked out of the suspend/resume functionality on my laptop, an IBM Thinkpad X40. It is mostly working now, but I am still experiencing some strange behavior. I can suspend and resume from a console just fine (except for the fact that the console comes up blank and only displays new characters); however, suspending and resuming in X is problematic. The first suspend and resume in X works perfectly, but the next time I hit suspend, the machine locks up while still displaying whatever I was doing in X. Note that if I switch to a virtual terminal before hitting suspend, this problem does not occur. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I might do to get this resolved?

I'm not exactly sure what you are trying to achieve here. But here is my
€0,02:
Create a group called 'usb'. Make every user that you want to be able to use
usb devices a member of this group. Next, add the following rules to your
active ruleset in /etc/devfs.rules:
add path 'da*' mode 0660 group usb
add path 'msdosfs/*' mode 0660 group usb
add path 'uscanner*' mode 0660 group usb
add path 'usb*' mode 0660 group usb
add path 'ugen*' mode 0660 group usb
If you are using 8-BETA, use 'usb/*' instead of 'usb*'.
This gives the members of the usb group write acces to the relevant devices
for using USB drives, cameras, scanners etc. You might want to add other usb
device nodes (e.g. uhid) if you use those.

installation sequence
Does anybody have an idea of what the oder of files and dependencies is to install programs without all sorts of nonsensical errors? I usually have no problem installing FreeBsd whatever with apache22, cups, samba, php, mysql xorg etc. etc. I say usually because from time to time there do crop up some conflicts and they can usually be resolved by just looking at the error messages when the install is interrupted... usually one reinstalls the guilty port and voila! all things are in an ordered universe!

I installed a pretty minimal 7.2 about a week ago and since then have been putzing about with a more serious installation of 7.2 on a larger disk to include xorg and a number of pretty cumbersome applications. I usually start with samba as that permits me to wander about on my lan and download and play around with other stuff while I am waiting for those substantial installs like jdk and xorg et al. So now, I have installed samba... works fine... thereafter I have been installing jdk16 and some other proggies like openldap and php5 and mysql ... actually, I was doing those because apache22 wouldn't compile... it grinds out a slew of errors that all seem to be related to ldap...util_ldap.c:2135 (or other numbers) and all have the notation undeclared (first use in this function) and finally the ghost gives up with Error code 1.

about vbox and freebsd
08/20/2009 11:59 PM Hello Duncan Hutty, I write to you directly because I have posted several times to the list and have not seen an answer to my problem, and you seem knowledgeable about freebsd. I have a dual-core amd64 machine running ubuntu 9.04 with vbox 3.04 and have tried to create a freebsd guest on it. I've had a freebsd webserver at iserver/viaverio for about 15 years but still have not set up a freebsd box of my own where I can really learn the ins and outs of the system, and I'd like to.

Re: installation sequence
I'm all over this! Here's what you do: Setup for yourself a local cvs repository like so: portinstall -Pp net/cvsup-mirror You have to make decisions about what to mirror, but in the end you will have a semi-authoritative mirror of all the source and ports for the whole dang FreeBSD development tree, that will maintain itself and be ready when you need it. Next, when ever you do a fresh install of FreeBSD whatever, the first thing you do after the install is update your source and ports try by creating a cvsupfile, (I always keep one in /usr/local/etc/cvsupfile) like this: begin cvsupfile *default host=IP.OF.YOUR.LOCAL.CVS.MIRROR *default base=/usr *default prefix=/usr *default release=cvs delete use-rel-suffix tag=RELENG_7 *default compress src-all src-contrib ports-all tag=. /end cvsupfile Note that the begin and /end tags are put in the email for clarity, but should NOT appear in your cvsup file. I think src-contrib is overkill, but I've not bothered to find out because I'm pretty lazy. Note, also that RELENG_7 is just what I'm using now. You should adjust to the FreeBSD whatever that you just installed. So after you put the cvsupfile in place, run this on your new install: csup -g -L2 /path/to/cvsupfile Note, again, that csup does *not* get installed with *base before like 6.3 or something ... can't remember which. Did I mention lazy? If you are going back that far you have to install csup from ports or install cvsup from ports. (Which may likely put you back at square one where you have to work through the build failures - it ain't perfect, but it's nearly there!) Anyway, the point is you should always, always, always update your ports tree after a new install so you don't have build failures to stump you. And you still might get those :) So you should consider REBUILDING WORLD immediately after you do a new install. And THEN build/install whatever ports you need ...

The first suspend and resume in X works perfectly, but the next time I hit suspend, the machine locks up while still displaying whatever I was doing in X. Note that if I switch to a virtual terminal before hitting suspend, this problem does not occur. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I might do to get this resolved? The details of my machine follows; please let me know if any additional information would be helpful. My T23 requires hw.syscons.sc_no_suspend_vtswitch=1 to suspend/resume cleanly (7.0), so does my old Compaq Armada (but that's APM, not ACPI) uname -a FreeBSD sussman.snikeris.com 7.2-RELEASE-p2 FreeBSD 7.2-RELEASE-p2 #0: Wed Jun 24 00:57:44 UTC 2009 r...@i386-builder.daemonology.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386 cat /boot/loader.conf # Disable boot menu beastie_disable=YES autoboot_delay=-1 # Needed for firefox to display certain HTML5 elements sem_load=YES # Needed so we can resume from suspend w/ a working display. hw.acpi.reset_video=1 # Needed so mouse will work on resume hint.psm.0.flags=0x3000 # Possibly needed for successful resume hint.apic.0.disabled=1 That might be one to try either way, with other combinations. # Needed for sound snd_ich_load=YES # Needed for wireless (iwi) if_iwi_load=YES wlan_load=YES firmware_load=YES iwi_bss_load=YES iwi_ibss_load=YES iwi_monitor_load=YES legal.intel_iwi.license_ack=1 # Needed for 3d graphics acceleration agp_load=YES # Needed for cdrecord to work atapicam_load=YES # See 'man acpi_ibm' acpi_ibm_load=YES I've found that vesa_load=YES helps on my T23 especially if suspending from a VT rather than in X, referring to your 'console comes up blank.'

Thanks all, I'll check out how to configure my mailer with Google Groups for this list. There should be little in the way of configuration required for that list, they just send out plain email and you can post in the same format. I've found it a very helpful list and I've learnt a lot being subscribed to it despite being a +10yr user of vim. Even Bram Molenaar posts there occasionally. Nice to know that long-term users parade around in the list. It then, is much like this one, and a few others that I am on. Before I foray into configuring my email program to work with Google Groups, I have one more (simple, I think) question regarding Vim. (I couldn't come up with the proper Gooliage): I'd like to create a keyboard map so instead of doing: - _dd (I believe the underscore is referred to as 'blackhole') I can do: - CTRL-whatever I have a lot of operations that consist of this: - p - j - $ - i - CR - ^[ - 3j - i - TABCR - ^[ - 3dd (not necessarily in that order)...and want an easier way to to do both 'dd' and 'd$' without wrecking the clipboard which I have saved a yank to. What you refer to as a clipboard is termed a register in vim and IIRC you have the use of 26 (a-z). You can yank or delete to a register and then dd wont overwrite it. Use plain dd and yy for quick and dirty. See: :help yank You can then recall the text from that register with the put command. See: :help p As with all simple vim commands you can precede them with a number so to yank 3 lines and save them in register a: 3ayy and then to put them somewhere: ap Likewise, you can delete 3 lines place them in a named register: 3add I hope the above short demo gives you a brief outline on how to work with registers but the vim handbook has got far more info. I guess it's difficult for a new vim user who lacks the vim terminology to look for stuff. Also look into using macros if you find you are using the same commands repetitively. Have a look at marks if you're not using them already: :help m fwiw, the box I'm doing this work on is a jail (with both v4 and v6!) under: :! uname -a [No write since last change] FreeBSD name.eagle.ca 7.2-RELEASE FreeBSD 7.2-RELEASE #0: Fri May 1 08:49:13 UTC 2009 r...@walker.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386 I'm currently in Darwin, Australia and ssh'ing back to the UK to compose this email using vim on the remote end.

data captured by fprobe but not shown on nfsen
Dear all, I started to use FreeBSD last week and encountered a few problems. I'd be grateful if any of you could give a hand. I installed FreeBSD 7.2 on Dell GX520 with two network adaptors, one on-board and the other PCI addon. They are all 10/100 baseT auto. The workstation has 2.8GHz CPU, 512MB RAM and 80G IDE Hard disk. The installation went successfully. After the FreeBSD was installed, I firstly installed Apache22, then php5, and nfsen1.3 including Port Tracker. I have configured apache and nfsen properly so that nfsen.php page could be viewed properly on other workstations within the network. Now that I could see the diagrams generated by nfsen, I then installed fprobe on the same workstation in hope to capture data from one network interface and projected it as netflow for nfsen. Fprobe was installed successfully. I configured the on-board network card named as bge0 as dhcp client to receive ipv4 address from DHCP in my network. I then connected the other PCI network card named as vr0 to my core Cisco 3560 switch. I configured on switch to monitor session 1 to mirror g0/22 rx traffic to g0/2 which was connected to vr0. When I checked on the switch, show inter gi0/2 and gi0/2 counters. I could see the port was in monitoring status and overnight about 10G data had been sent to vr0. Physically I could see the LED on vr0 flickering madly showing the data were transmitting. I typed fprobe -i vr0 127.0.0.1:9995 and also fprobe -i vr0 localhost:9995 Here came the problem, when I typed tcpdump -n -i lo0 dst port 9995 I could see any udp sent to port 9995, no matter how long I waited. I then typed fprobe 127.0.0.1:9995 and fprobe localhost:9995 (Sorry I was not sure which one was correct.) This time tcpdump showed UDP traffic to port 9995 and nfsen did capture some data. However, after a night it only showed very few traffic through, most of which were dns and broadcasting traffic! So fprobe didn't get anything from vr0 at all. I have searched the web and checked the syntax for fprobe and manual didn't explain much in this. Where was I getting wrong? Could anyone give me a hand?

Xorg - Console Flashes when Exiting X
Hi, list I'm trying to isolate a bug relating to exiting X and console drivers. Before I begin, I have to mention that this undesired behavior is not specific to FreeBSD -- I've experienced this with OpenSolaris and (K)(X)ubuntu on the machine in question, which is where I am beginning to really hit a wall. A short synopsis of the problem is: anything that tries to query / manipulate Xorg causes the console to flash when exiting X, as if the console refresh rate or resolution was drastically incorrect. The laptop [1] I recently purchased has a 16 screen at 1366x768 resolution. (dmesg output listing the graphics information is below.) I do not use gdm, xdm, or kdm, so I 'startx' to get x11-wm/fluxbox running. My $HOME/.xinitrc is minimal, using xset to disable the xterm bell, and starting sysutils/conky. The only common factor between the three OSes I've seen this behavior is xscreensaver or xrandr. After thinking it was specific to xscreensaver, I disabled it, and wanted to check the refresh rate - which is how I found xrandr causes it as well. Any thoughts on how to isolate the cause of this would be appreciated, because the flickering and flashing experienced is most probably bad for the LCD. Thanks in advance. %dmesg | grep vga vgapci0: VGA-compatible display port 0x5110-0x5117 mem 0xd000-0xd03f,0xc000-0xcfff irq 16 at device 2.0 on pci0 agp0: Intel GM45 SVGA controller on vgapci0 vgapci1: VGA-compatible display mem 0xd350-0xd35f at device 2.1 on pci0 vga0: Generic ISA VGA at port 0x3c0-0x3df iomem 0xa-0xb on isa0 drm0: Mobile Intel\M-B\M-.
