Re: ACPI? problem with release 8.0
I desperately need to make some progress on this issue. Is it likely that the issue is real rather than hardware or disk corruption? Earlier releases are operating OK on the same machine. I have now confirmed that: debug.acpi.disabled=acad button cpu lid thermal timer video still leaves the system crashing and powering down when idle for a while. And the more extensive: debug.acpi.disabled=acad bus children button cmbat cpu ec isa lid pci pci_link sysresource thermal timer video does the same. I don't really need power management but with acpi disabled the disks are not visible to the system. Are there sysctl variables that can influence this behaviour? Currently I believe we have: hw.acpi.supported_sleep_state: S1 S4 S5 hw.acpi.power_button_state: S5 hw.acpi.sleep_button_state: S1 hw.acpi.lid_switch_state: NONE hw.acpi.standby_state: S1 hw.acpi.suspend_state: NONE hw.acpi.sleep_delay: 1 hw.acpi.s4bios: 0 hw.acpi.verbose: 0 hw.acpi.disable_on_reboot: 0 hw.acpi.handle_reboot: 0 hw.acpi.reset_video: 0 hw.acpi.cpu.cx_lowest: C1 machdep.idle: amdc1e machdep.idle_available: spin, amdc1e, hlt, acpi, However on the earlier RELEASEs that work I note we do not have machdep.idle or machdep.idle_available. Instead I find: machdep.cpu_idle_hlt: 1 machdep.hlt_cpus: 0 Although I've not been able to relate this directly to my problem from Googling it seems that there some issues with amdc1e under BSD, Linux and perhaps Windows. But all the references seem to amd c1e are related to systems in 64 bit mode while I am running (or trying to run) i386 so I wonder why I have: machdep.idle: amdc1e Maybe my problem is not acpi as such but this idle mode. My thought is to change this to machdep.idle: hlt or even machdep.idle: acpi Any comments or ideas please! Thank you for your attention.

Recently added SATA 1TB (WDC WD10EADS-00P8B0 01.00A01) and installed RELEASE 8.0 thereon. When I boot to RELEASE 8.0 I find after some time, few minutes to rather more minutes the system just powers down without warning or any obvious cause. It seems to mostly happen when the system is relatively quiet. Suspecting the ACPI I added: hint.acpi.0.disabled=1 to loader.conf. I then found RELEASE 8.0 would not boot -- or at least it was unable to mount root. I get a mountroot prompt but this seemed not to accept anything I could think of, and ? to list available targets yielded nothing. Rebooting and overriding this with option 2 (enable ACPI) in the boot menu took me back to a bootable but fragile system. Changing the loader.conf entry to: debug.acpi.disabled=all had the same effect as the hint.acpi.0.disabled=1. I then thought to be somewhat selective with debug.acpi.disabled and intended to try: debug.acpi.disabled=acad button cpu lid thermal timer video only now as I write this I discover I actually entered: debug.acpi.disabled=acadbutton cpu lid thermal timer video Now the RELEASE-8.0 booted but remained fragile. I've repaired this last entry and will proceed to try it. Meanwhile I feel I am fumbling about in the dark without sufficient (or any real) knowledge of the range of tasks performed by ACPI. Is my guess that I have an interaction problem between ACPI and RELEASE-8.0 a reasonable one? Where can I go from here? The system uses a Gigabyte GA-M55SLI-S4 mother board and the prcessor is AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5600+ Please offer suggestions or comments.

This is exactly the sort of post that raises the signal to noise ratio in web-based forums. Good job writing it :-) You should probably try to grok some of the semantic markup requests like .Op too though. For example this part: : SYNOPSIS : jail [-dhi] [-J jid_file] [-l -u username | -U username] [-c | -m] : jail [-hi] [-n jailname] [-J jid_file] [-s securelevel] : [-l -u username | -U username] [path hostname [ip[,..]] Is commonly written in several lines. If you try to read each line separately they do make sense, e.g.: .Nm .Op Fl dhi Will render as: jail [-dhl] with the flag letters displayed in bold text. The .Op macro wraps everything in [...] brackets. The .Fl macro marks up 'command flags'. It takes a bit of practice to write manpages using this sort of markup, but the displayed output looks great in ascii, PostScript or HTML output modes.

fetchmail - problems with ssl since upgrade to 6.3.16

Here's the error message I'm getting: fetchmail: Issuer Organization: anonymized fetchmail: Issuer CommonName: anomymized fetchmail: Server CommonName: anomymized fetchmail: anonymized key fingerprint: anonymized fetchmail: anonymized fingerprints match. fetchmail: Server certificate verification error: self signed certificate 34381474120:error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed:s3_clnt.c:1056: fetchmail: SSL connection failed. The above message normally indicates that the cert on the server might have changed. This however is definitely not the case (I'm managing the server myself). Asking google I found a similar report relating to fetchmail 6.3.16 (as in my case) under Linux: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/19043 So my questions are: o) Has anybody else, using fetchmail with ssl, experienced the same problems after a recent upgrade of fetchmail under FreeBSD? o) Any known cure against it?

Re: Online school for FreeBSD
I sign here too - Lucas' Absolute FreeBSD covers practically all the aspects when you new to Unix. Its a good choice. A seperate computer for trying out and break'n'reinstall is also a good idea for a start. Its like learning a foreign language. At the beginning you may wonder how anybody can ever understand this mumbo jumbo. Then you will get an idea of it and go into an experimental stage where many things go wrong. And after some years you wonder that there was a time before where you could not understand such an obvious, logical concept.

Hello, I want to print via CUPS (from the ports 1.3.9) in FreeBSD 8-CURRENT UTF-8 text files with Cyrillic (and other) chars; see the very small attached file; the conversion of the UTF-8 textfile is done by CUPS's texttops and someone can simulate this without wasting paper with this command: $ CHARSET=utf-8 /usr/local/libexec/cups/filter/texttops 1 rleigh myfile 1 testfile.utf8 ps and check the resulting PostScript file with a viewer, for example Ghostview. The mapping between the Unicode codepoints and fonts for CUPS is done in /usr/local/share/cups/charsets/utf-8 which has for Cyrillic chars U-0400...U+04FF: 0400 04FF ltor single Courier Courier-Bold Courier-Italic Courier-Bold-Italic Using the attached test file all is printed fine, all but the Cyrillic line.

LSI SAS 9211-8i
We're looking at replacing the HP Raid controller in a HP DL380 G5 with a controller that supports JBOD for utilizing ZFS. We're currently trialling this controller, an HP LSI board (https://h10057.www1.hp.com/ecomcat/hpcatalog/specs/provisioner/05/347786-B21.htm), but we're finding that it has some issues with the mpt driver, namely: Driver doesn't seem to realize when a drive has been pulled, instead mptutil shows that the drive is still there but only 512B in size. Driver also doesn't seem to realize when a drive has been reinserted Both of those seem to end up leading to corruption in the zpool. Another weird thing with that card, is that if a drive is pulled and the card reinitialized (for example rebooting), the order of the drives shift (i.e. if you pull da2, da3 becomes da2, da4 becomes da3, etc), which again causes problems with the zpool. Anyway, the LSI SAS 9211-8i looks like a nice card, but am having difficulties determining if it'll be supported by the mpt driver. Does anyone know if it'll work, or does anyone have any suggestions for a good JBOD controller for ZFS and hotswap?

Debugging RLIMITs signals: SIGXFSZ and SIGXCPU
All: I've got a process that is mysteriously receiving a SIGTERM (or other signal. It's a RADIUS daemon; runs a non-Root (not privsep, unfortunately). Identical hardware, identical code, identical config on 6.3-PL is fine. On 8, the daemon is logging receipt of a non-HUP signal and exiting out. Our best theory at the moment are changes in default RLIMITs between RELENG_6and RELENG_8. For example: 6.3: open files (-n) 11095 8: open files (-n) 3520 Either that, or a memory/file handler/other leak that only manifests in RELENG_8. Either way, I'd like to debug the kernel handling of RLIMITs. The best I can find are references to: /usr/src/sys/kern/kern_resource.c::lim_cb() to SIGXCPU for RLIMIT_CPU /usr/src/sys/ufs/ffs/ffs_vnops.c::ffs_write() to SIGXFSZ or ... RLIMIT_FSIZE Not sure about RLIMIT_RSS, RLIMIT_AS, RLIMIT_NOFILE or others. Unfortunately, in the two places I see, the call 'psignal()' is used in leui of 'killproc()' to pass those custom RLIMIT's related signals and psignal() doesn't have any logging like killproc(). It would be really nice if there could be some standardized logging for RLIMIT* related resource exhaustion. For example: /usr/src/sys/vm/vm_pageout.c: killproc(bigproc, out of swap space); So my question are: 1) Anyone else interested in having this feature (RLIMIT debugging, possibly a sysctl(3))? 2) Does anyone have any idea how other RLIMIT_ exhaustion is handled? A lot of other checks in the code in kernel_resource.c seems to 'return (error);' on resource exhaustion.

Then I suggest taking it to freebsd-acpi@ without passing go .. maybe with a bit more data to hand, as outlined in the ACPI debugging section of the handbook. Is it likely that the issue is real rather than hardware or disk corruption? Earlier releases are operating OK on the same machine. Sounds like a real issue, but I don't know the hardware. Does it have the latest available BIOS update? If not, that's step one. Will it stay up long enough to get a verbose dmesg off it? Do you have a verbose dmesg from an earlier working release for comparison? I have now confirmed that: debug.acpi.disabled=acad button cpu lid thermal timer video still leaves the system crashing and powering down when idle for a while. And the more extensive: debug.acpi.disabled=acad bus children button cmbat cpu ec isa lid pci pci_link sysresource thermal timer video does the same. I don't really need power management but with acpi disabled the disks are not visible to the system. ACPI needs to work on modern hardware, no question. Are there sysctl variables that can influence this behaviour? Currently I believe we have: hw.acpi.supported_sleep_state: S1 S4 S5 hw.acpi.power_button_state: S5 hw.acpi.sleep_button_state: S1 hw.acpi.lid_switch_state: NONE hw.acpi.standby_state: S1 hw.acpi.suspend_state: NONE hw.acpi.sleep_delay: 1 hw.acpi.s4bios: 0 hw.acpi.verbose: 0 May help to set hw.acpi.verbose=1 in /boot/loader.conf while debugging; especially useful after verbose boot for detail in dmesg and messages. hw.acpi.disable_on_reboot: 0 hw.acpi.handle_reboot: 0 hw.acpi.reset_video: 0 hw.acpi.cpu.cx_lowest: C1 Is that with acpi.thermal disabled? If so, showing hw.acpi and debug.acpi with everything enabled might provide more clues. machdep.idle: amdc1e machdep.idle_available: spin, amdc1e, hlt, acpi, However on the earlier RELEASEs that work I note we do not have machdep.idle or machdep.idle_available. Instead I find: machdep.cpu_idle_hlt: 1 machdep.hlt_cpus: 0 Although I've not been able to relate this directly to my problem from Googling it seems that there some issues with amdc1e under BSD, Linux and perhaps Windows. But all the references seem to amd c1e are related to systems in 64 bit mode while I am running (or trying to run) i386 so I wonder why I have: machdep.idle: amdc1e Maybe my problem is not acpi as such but this idle mode. Could well be. Someone on acpi@ will know about amdc1e, I don't, but any BIOS setting re C1E could be relevant to this. My thought is to change this to machdep.idle: hlt or even machdep.idle: acpi Maybe try setting it to acpi first (without any disabled parts) and try? Can't do any worse than crash the same? Any comments or ideas please! Thank you for your attention.

what does boot in safe mode enable / disable?
I emailed a few days back, to -stable, about having issues running 8-STABLE in a Xen environment. I solved this, sort of. However, I didn't get any bites over there. I have a XEN HVM environment and it was given to me running 8-REL-p2 and it was working fine. I moved up to -STABLE and GENERIC wouldn't boot. After some fiddling, etc.. I tried booting it in safe mode and viola it boots fine. The system doesn't show any errors it just stops on trying to mount disk: /dev/. Enabling logging mode doesn't show any difference between the stable kernel and the rel kernel when booting. So, I'm guessing there was some sort of regression, but I'm trying to isolate this. What does booting in safe mode enable / disable that would allow the system to boot successfully? Thanks. Henrik -- Henrik Hudson li...@rhavenn.net - God, root, what is difference?

I had thought the update in linux-pango version was a fix for the longstanding security issue with 1.10.2_3, and I'd thus have a security patched version, but it turns out that 1.10.2_4 has security issues as well and that's why it didn't want to install.

You will also hack someone else's code and look at the libs they are using, and most importangly you will have books and other stuff that will point to the use of those libs.

Tripwire 1.2
Has anyone successfully got Tripwire 1.2 to work on FreeBSD 8? It compiles fine, but it trips on every file. It decides that the atime has changed. The report shows the observed and expected times are far different. Often off by 10s of years from what the file actually shows. Even more interesting is that it trips on every file in /bin where the config file consists of only: /binR-2 That should not even be checking the atime - but it does. It does work fine on FreeBSD 7.2. I have not been able to figure out why it would do this on 8.0.___ 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

Earlier releases are operating OK on the same machine. Sounds like a real issue, but I don't know the hardware. Does it have the latest available BIOS update? If not, that's step one. Will it stay up long enough to get a verbose dmesg off it? Do you have a verbose dmesg from an earlier working release for comparison? Probably not; I have considered it.
