Intel 2200bg issue on freebsd 7.2

2010-05-16 Thread Ahmad Al
I have included all the modules if_iwi.ko, iwi_ibss.ko,iwi_bss.ko and
iwi_monitor.ko. No errors during post boot and I have set all the necessary
options in /boot/loader.conf for the modules and for the liscence to no
avail.
ifconfig iwi0 scan == hangs

and since cloning doesnt work except in freebsd 8.0. How can i go on with
scanning my networks on freebsd 7.2?
Is there a workaround?

adapting src.conf to nanobsd CONF build options

2010-05-16 Thread Dimitar Vassilev
Hello all,
I'd like to implement the following src.conf for nanobsd. Goal is to
have these subset neither being built, nor installed.

cat /etc/src.conf

WITHOUT_BLUETOOTH
WITHOUT_CALENDAR
WITHOUT_CPP
WITHOUT_CTM
WITHOUT_CVS
WITHOUT_CXX
WITHOUT_DICT
WITHOUT_EXAMPLES
WITHOUT_FLOPPY
WITHOUT_GAMES
WITHOUT_GCOV
WITHOUT_IPFILTER
WITHOUT_INFO
WITHOUT_INSTALLLIB
WITHOUT_IPFW
WITHOUT_IPX
WITHOUT_LPR
WITHOUT_MAKE
WITHOUT_GROFF
WITHOUT_NCP
WITHOUT_NIS
WITHOUT_FREEBSD_UPDATE
WITHOUT_RCS
WITHOUT_SHAREDOCS

As far as I have read, what I need to do is put these into
CONF_BUILD section to prevent buildworld compiling them
Do I need to put them also into CONF_INSTALL and CONF_WORLD to prevent
them from being propagated into the image
or just having them into CONF_BUILD will suffice?
Thanks,
Dimitar

How do I start Xorg from within a jail so that it will output to a xephyr 
session?

Tell me which files I will need to configure and I will post them here for you 
to look at.

How long do you go without upgrading FreeBSD to a newer release?

2010-05-16 Thread Dan Naumov
Hello folks

Just a thought/question that has recently come to my mind: How long do
you usually wait until upgrading to a newer release of FreeBSD? I am
sure there are lots of people who upgrade straight away, but what
about the opposite? What's your oldest currently running installation,
do you have any issues and are you planning on an upgrade or do you
intend to leave it running as is until some critical piece of hardware
breaks down, requiring a replacement?

The reason I am asking is: I have a 8.0 installation that I am VERY
happy with. It runs like clockwork. eveything is properly configured
and highly locked down, all services accessible to the outside world
are running inside ezjail-managed jails on top of ZFS, meaning it's
also very trivial to restore jails via snapshots, should the need ever
arise. I don't really see myself NEEDING to upgrade for many years.
even long after security updates stop being made for 8.0, since I can
see myself being able to at least work my way around arising security
issues with my configuration and to break into the real host OS and
cause real damage would mean you have to be either really really
dedicated, have a gun and know where I live or serve me with a
warrant.

Do you liva by the If it's not broken, don't fix it mantra or do you
religiously keep your OS installations up to date?

Dan Naumov

then stay with what you have if its working, no need to upgrade, unless
theres new feature you can use,
after you are confident its runs the same or better in pre-production with
all the apps you use, ive still got a 4.10 box

A quite generic answer: Only as long as needed. :-) Upgrading
often is determined by certain considerations, such as the
ability to maintain system security (again depending on the
setting and the purpose of the installation), or the require-
ment for some functionality that explicitely requires upgrading.



 What's your oldest currently running installation,
 do you have any issues and are you planning on an upgrade or do you
 intend to leave it running as is until some critical piece of hardware
 breaks down, requiring a replacement?

FreeBSD 5.4-p14 on a P2/300, 128 MB RAM, office workstation,
last update both in system and applications in 2006.

Upgrade planning: no.

Leave it running as long as possible: yes.

Reason: System runs perfectly (it's not on WAN or acting as a
server, so no major security considerations). It runs better than
my FreeBSD 7 home system which awaits upgrading to 8 soon. :-)

Oldest: 4.1 on a 486 laptop, I'm sure it still works, but it's
not in regular use. :-)

If you're running services available to the outside world, keep
in mind *their* security updates also. If those require a system
update, do it, but usually they don't - you usually just upgrade
the ports in question. For servers, you should follow -p as long
as possible. If there are no further security updates for a
certain release, it MAY be a valid idea to upgrade to the new
release (e. g. 8.0 to 8.2, or what's the current release when
8.0-p doesn't continue).



 Do you liva by the If it's not broken, don't fix it mantra or do you
 religiously keep your OS installations up to date?

Maybe you'll laugh, but I go with both ways. :-) I've got an
experimental system that I try bleeding edge software on, just
to see how well it works. Servers and workstations that I
need to RELY ON go with not broken, not fix.

I'm sure you'll get more answers that suggest you to really
think about what you want to do, and that determines your way,
maybe both ways, if that fits your requirements. Both ways have
their advantages and disadvantages, and it's up to you how you
handle it.

we have some production dns caches at work running bsd 4.3, that have been
there for nearly a decade. We keep the dns software on them upto date and
they are locked down with a firewall. However they will be going some time
this year, but thats more down to consolidation than anything else.

bindtextdomain

2010-05-16 Thread Jeff Molofee
Sorry guys, didn't notice if this has come up yet... did a big 
portupgrade (-af) and now I'm having issues with quite a few programs 
failing to run.


In time tracker I always get:

AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute '*bindtextdomain*'

A few of the built in games... like chess and sudoku:

 File /usr/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/glchess/defaults.py, 
line 46, in module

locale.bind_textdomain_codeset(DOMAIN, UTF-8) # See Bug 608425
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute '*bind_textdomain_codeset*'

===

I was also wondering if someone could explain packagekit... I read that 
it's a work in progress... but every time I boot I see two updates show 
up... I then try to upgrade using the upgrade now button, and receive a 
few errors.  The first error states that packages for these items can 
not be found, the second error stats that upgrade-packages can not be 
found (sorry, going from memory), but basically it can't find the actual 
program or script required to do the upgrade.  Is Packagekit broken at 
the moment or am I missing something?

My machines are all for personal use only, and it wouldn't be a
disaster if any of them went down for an extended period.  So I
don't hesitate to upgrade to new releases as soon as they appear.

I'm currently running 8.0-STABLE and update it every week or so.  The
portstree is updated daily.

If my income depended on these machines, I'd probably be more cautious.

Re: Quantum SuperLoader 3 under Bacula on FreeBSD 8

2010-05-16 Thread Panagiotis Christias
On Fri, May 14, 2010 at 4:29 AM, Paul Mather p...@gromit.dlib.vt.edu wrote:
 I am currently assembling a quote for an LTO-4 tape backup system.  So far, I 
 am looking at using a 16-slot Quantum SuperLoader 3 with LTO-4HH drive as the 
 tape unit.  Married to this will be a server to act as the backup server that 
 will drive the tape unit using Bacula to manage backups.  The server will be 
 a quad core X3440 system with 4 GB of RAM and four 1 TB SATA 7200 rpm hard 
 drives in a case that has room for eight hot-swap drives.  I plan on using 
 FreeBSD 8 on the system, using ZFS to raidz the drives together to provide 
 spool space for Bacula.  I will be using an Areca ARC-1300-4X PCIe SAS card 
 to interface with the tape drive.

 My main question is this: is the Quantum SuperLoader 3 LTO-4 tape drive 
 supported by Bacula 5 on FreeBSD?  In particular, is the autoloader 
 supported?  The Bacula documentation indicates the SuperLoader works fully 
 under Bacula, though not explicitly whether under FreeBSD.

 The backup server will serve a network cluster of perhaps a dozen machines 
 with over 6 TB of storage, most of which is on the cluster's NFS server.  
 Does anyone have good advice on sizing the spool/holding/disk pool for a 
 Bacula server?  Is it imperative to have enough disk space to hold a full 
 backup, or is it sufficient to have enough space to maintain streaming to 
 tape?  (I don't have much experience of Bacula, having used it only to back 
 up to disk.)  In other words, do I need more 1 TB drives in my backup server?

 Finally, is 4 GB of RAM sufficient for good performance with ZFS?  Will ZFS 
 on FreeBSD be able to maintain full streaming speeds to tape, given the 
 various reports of I/O stalls under ZFS reported recently?

 Thanks in advance for any advice or information.

Hello Paul,

we are using successfully a Quantum Scalar 50 with an expansion box
and two F/C FH LTO-4 drives on FreeBSD 7-STABLE and Bacula 5.0.x.
FreeBSD 7-STABLE or 8-STABLE is recommended if you have a QLogiq F/C
card. Having Bacula's spooling area in a fast disk partition (e.g. a
RAID0 volume) would be a good idea too.

Seamonkey 2.0.4: crash crash crash post-update

2010-05-16 Thread J. Altman
Greetings...

uname -a:

FreeBSD whisperer.chthonixia.net 8.0-RELEASE-p2 FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE-p2
#0: Sat May 15 11:47:55 EDT 2010
r...@whisperer.chthonixia.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/WHISPERER  amd64

This is a fresh build of world and updated ports. I have also
deinstalled and reinstalled Seamonkey, thinking I had to do with it
what I had to do to work around the X bug(s)[1] for the Radeon driver
following the X upgrade I performed on May 14. That manifested as an
inability to load both radeon_drv.la and radeon_drv.so.

Unfortunately, the make reinstall of Seamonkey has not remedied
whatever its problem is.

Here is all I know; see footnote:

Seamonkey just blinks off. It's random; it does not appear to be
associated with any particular website nor plugin. It leaves no
core. It does restore my tabs. I should be explicit: this has never
happened on this installation until after the May 14th-15th update.

I've seen no bug reports filed recently; but is anyone else seeing
this and waiting to see if it's fixed silently?

I do see this in the Xorg.log:

record: RECORD extension enabled at configure time.
record: This extension is known to be broken, disabling extension now..
record: http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20500

The referenced bug report has this (final?) entry:

==
Peter Hutterer  2010-04-15 23:40:39 PDT

I'm going to pretend this is all fixed now - at least how the bug
claims it is.

If there are any leftovers they're probably real bugs and should be
filed as separate bugreports. Thanks for everyone's help.

===

Thanks for any help, and best regards,

Joe

[1] Which bug(s) now appear to be manifesting as loss of attachment to
the X display when using ctrl-alt-f1 to look at the console;
meaning: I cannot reliably use ctrl-alt-f9 to go back to the X
display. Which, in turn, required a complete reboot to regain the
ability to use X (I logged in from a different machine and tried
to kill off X to regain the console; no joy.) The ultimate result:
I can no longer post the sole error message I had on the console
regarding the Seamonkey issue. It had something to do with a bad
picture, IIRC. Sigh.

Re: Seamonkey 2.0.4: crash crash crash post-update

2010-05-16 Thread J. Altman
Following up to myself:

I ran Seamonkey from a terminal; it took a few minutes under two hours
to crash again; this time, I have the error:

The program 'seamonkey-bin' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'RenderBadPicture (invalid Picture parameter)'.
  (Details: serial 1692977 error_code 157 request_code 147 minor_code
  7)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported
  asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error()
   function.)

Maybe this will help.

There is still no seamonkey.core in ~; nothing in messages; nothing in
the Xorg.log. Seamonkey just blinks off.

 this and waiting to see if it's fixed silently?
 
 I do see this in the Xorg.log:
 
 record: RECORD extension enabled at configure time.
 record: This extension is known to be broken, disabling extension now..
 record: http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20500
 
 The referenced bug report has this (final?) entry:

 I'm going to pretend this is all fixed now - at least how the bug
 claims it is.
 
 If there are any leftovers they're probably real bugs and should be
 filed as separate bugreports. Thanks for everyone's help.

 Thanks for any help, and best regards,

 [1] Which bug(s) now appear to be manifesting as loss of attachment to
 the X display when using ctrl-alt-f1 to look at the console;
 meaning: I cannot reliably use ctrl-alt-f9 to go back to the X
 display. Which, in turn, required a complete reboot to regain the
 ability to use X (I logged in from a different machine and tried
 to kill off X to regain the console; no joy.) The ultimate result:
 I can no longer post the sole error message I had on the console
 regarding the Seamonkey issue. It had something to do with a bad
 picture, IIRC. Sigh.
